Craghoppers | translate:/Global/SiteRating: 3

A fleece for walkers who don’t want to be seen in a fleece. Has the feel of a comfy pullover, but is still highly practical. The outer fabric feels a bit more like thick wool than fleece, which makes it a little more resilient to abrasion and resists the dreading pilling of the fabric over time. The inner fabric retains ...

Craghoppers Byron

£150.00

A low-key styled jacket with a 2-layer Gore-Tex membrane tucked away inside to keep the performance levels up. You could easily get away with this jacket in town thanks to its casual looks. The 2-layer Gore-Tex means that there is a semi-loose lining layer inside trapping heat, making this one for cooler days. The fleecy lining to the collar is ...

Craghoppers Kiwi 2011

£175.00

The Craghoppers Kiwi is a well-proven waterproof jacket that sits very much in the general outdoor clothing category. It is a bit heavy at 772g (men’s L), but it has advantages over some lighter and more mountaineering-orientated waterproofs. Firstly it is longer in the body than most jackets, which means you can get your hands in those base pockets while ...

Craghoppers Nuka

£50.00

The Nuka is a smart looking jacket with a thick fleece lining throughout. This makes it heavier than the some women’s jackets, but warmer, and very comfortable against the skin. It’s cut quite short, which is great for easy movement, and the fit is quite small – be aware before buying. It’s got a nice high,fleece-lined collar to trap warmth, ...

Craghoppers Adventure

£40.00

A decent enough, middle-of-the-road pole that does everything it’s supposed to at a decent price. The poles are sturdy, although not the most rigid, with a bit of flex if you don’t apply pressure straight down their length. The anti-shock system functions as it’s supposed to, with stiff spring suspension that isn’t distractingly noisy, although even with it locked-out, there ...

Craghoppers Miska

£40.00

A very light fleece and a really comfortable one too, with a luxurious microfleece finish that feels soft against the skin. There’s plenty of stretch in the fabric and it has a lovely high collar to bury your face into, plus decent-length arms that won’t expose cold flesh when reaching forward or upwards. In the hills, it’s an excellent low-bulk ...

Craghoppers Icefield 2011

£120.00

The Craghoppers Icefield weighs 522g (size L); 600 fill power down; two zipped hip pockets; huge internal pocket that jacket can be stashed into; good wide anti-snag baffle on the main zip; reflective collar trim. But no hood; no cuff adjustment; no cosy soft brushed lining to the collar; not quite warm enough for sitting around on winter mountains.

Craghoppers Kiwi Gore-tex

£160.00

A longer fit helps to keep the tops of your trousers dry with hem and mid-torso cinches helping keep it tight to your body with easy adjustment. The lining does provide a bit of insulation, which is good when it’s colder, although as soon as you begin to sweat it gets very clammy inside, with a lack of venting not ...

Craghoppers Kruxx

£70.00

Made from an excellent super-stretchy fabric with a different, lightweight feel to it, the Kruxx uses SmartDry Nano fabric which is so light and breathable that it doesn’t really need any venting, although that does mean that it can get a bit chilly. Conversely, it will work well as a mid-layer too. There’s no external storm flap on the main ...

Craghoppers Nosilife Convertibles 2010

£60.00

Craghoppers is well-known for its range of trousers, but the Nosilife Convertibles boasts the addition of NosiLife, the world’s first permanent insect-repellent fabric, according to the manufacturers. The material feels like cotton and is very comfortable, and of course it should help keep away those insects in summer when you bare your legs most. There are two seat patch pockets ...

Craghoppers Kiwi Stretch

£45.00

The classic Kiwi pant cut from a stretchy nylon fabric. It definitely works as far as movement is concerned and even the most agile walker wouldn’t feel restricted. But they do lose a little of the casual appeal of the classic pant. They resist a little rain well, and they dry quickly after a soaking. And the SolarDry+ fabric is ...

Craghoppers Adventure Shock Absorber

Heavy poles but also the long – both in terms of walking length and pack-down length. They are also very strong. The cork handles feel good in the hand and the straps are easily adjusted and well-padded. The anti-shock mechanism feels good in action but can be switched on and off easily by accident. Another excellent low-priced anti-shock offering. VITAL ...

Craghoppers Explorer 2009

The Craghoppers Explorer general-purpose jacket uses 2-layer Gore-Tex Performance Shell for great performance; softer feel, more rustle-free; comfy mesh lining; long enough for access to pockets with rucksack on; map pocket; removable hood. But 890g (size L) is very heavy; hood movement and peak are not quite as good as some others.

Craghoppers Classic Kiwi Zip-Offs

£40.00

Quite a traditional fit with a high waist and wide hips, the Kiwi comes with belt loops and a part-elasticated waist for comfort. The polycotton fabric is soft, yet tough and hard-wearing, repelled water well and offered lots of wind resistance. They took longer than some to dry, though. There is a huge array of pockets, including a large cargo ...

CRAGHOPPERS SUPER LITE WALKING

Review: The shaped cork handle feels well-insulated and easy to grip, and the soft foam section extends down the shaft making it easy to hold on to the pole a bit lower down when necessary. The straps are easy to adjust and are padded slightly, which makes them feel soft on bare hands. The poles are supplied with rubber feet ...

Review A little baggy, making it better worn over a base-layer, and it also has baggy fleece cuffs. The collar is spot on, though, and the drawcord hem aids insulation. This lacks the versatility of half-zip options, but is great as a mid or outer-layer, thanks to good zipped pockets and space for a map.VITAL STATSColours: Mouse brown, brick red, ...

Craghoppers Aquadry

This windproof fleece from Craghoppers has baggy sleeves and cuffs and a high but loose collar. The fleece is lovely and soft, though, and the lining feels really good against the skin. As well as being windproof, the Aquadry is waterproof with fully taped seams. This makes it less breathable than most and also much warmer. It’s very heavy, too. ...

Unlike most outdoor companies, Craghoppers has a policy of being carbon-neutral and so with many of the features of this fleece mid layer being similar to many others’, those more ethical credentials give it the edge. At 410g this is reasonably light and the close-knit fabric also makes it a little more windproof than some others, without reducing breathability noticeably. ...
