Product Overview
The Craghoppers Expert Kiwi Pro Stretch Long Jacket is a technically advanced outerwear solution designed for those who require maximum protection from the elements without restricted movement. This longer-length jacket offers enhanced coverage, making it an ideal choice for outdoor professionals who find themselves working through the unpredictable British weather. Featuring the high-performance AquaDry membrane, it provides a formidable barrier against heavy rain while remaining exceptionally breathable to ensure wearer comfort during physical activity.
Key Features
- High Waterproof Rating (10,000mm): This technical membrane ensures the wearer remains dry even in prolonged heavy rainfall, providing essential protection for outdoor site work.
- Superior Breathability (20,000g/m2/24hrs): The fabric allows moisture vapour to escape efficiently, preventing the internal dampness often associated with waterproof garments.
- Six-Pocket Configuration: Includes two bellowed stud-fastening lower pockets with fused flaps and zipped side handwarmers, providing ample secure storage for handheld devices and essential tools.
- EcoShield DWR Finish: A plant-based water repellent that encourages rain to bead off the surface, maintaining the garment's lightweight feel and technical performance.
- Grown-on Hood: Integrated design for immediate protection when the weather turns, ensuring no water ingress at the neckline.
Design & Performance
Engineered for durability and ease of movement, this jacket is constructed from a polyester stretch fabric that moves with the wearer rather than resisting them. The technical composition includes an EN343 Bluesign-approved AquaDry membrane, which represents a commitment to both high-performance standards and environmental responsibility. Inside, the garment features a combination of polyester stretch mesh and recycled polyester taffeta lining, which aids in temperature regulation and provides a smooth, comfortable feel when layered over other workwear. The longer length is a deliberate design choice, providing extra protection for the upper legs and ensuring better coverage when bending or reaching.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Craghoppers Expert Kiwi Pro Stretch Long Jacket is fully compatible with both print and embroidery, allowing you to align your team's appearance with your brand identity. For a traditional and highly professional finish, we recommend embroidery for company logos and staff names; our high-quality threads ensure the branding remains sharp and durable. If your requirements involve larger, high-impact graphics, our printing services provide a bold and clear finish. Every customisation is handled by our expert in-house team in Telford, ensuring your professional appearance is maintained to the highest standard.
Use Cases
This jacket is specifically designed for professionals who operate in demanding outdoor environments. It is perfectly suited for site managers, surveyors, and logistics personnel who require a smart, professional appearance that does not fail when the rain starts. Given its flexible stretch fabric, it is also an excellent choice for active roles where physical agility is required alongside weather protection.

Practical Advice
The jacket is available in a comprehensive size range from XS to 3XL. Given its longer length and stretch properties, we recommend selecting your standard size for a professional fit. If you intend to wear heavy fleeces or multiple thermal layers underneath during winter months, ensure you check the chest measurements to allow for a comfortable range of motion.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical integrity of the AquaDry membrane and the stretch properties of the fabric, it is essential to follow specific care protocols. Neglecting these instructions can lead to the degradation of the waterproof barrier and reduced breathability.
We recommend a cool wash using Craghoppers AquaDry waterproof cleaner or pure soap. Standard detergents and fabric conditioners must be avoided, as they contain chemicals that can strip the water-repellent finish and clog the breathable pores of the membrane. Always ensure all fasteners are closed before washing to prevent mechanical damage to the fabric.
After washing, the jacket should be rinsed thoroughly and removed immediately from the machine. To maintain the EcoShield DWR finish, you may tumble dry the garment on a low setting; the application of gentle heat is actually beneficial for regenerating the water-repellency. If ironing is required, use a cool setting on the outer side only. Avoid dry cleaning and do not wring the garment, as these actions can permanently damage the internal TPU membrane.
