Product Overview
The Craghoppers Expert thermic insulated jacket is a technically advanced piece of outerwear designed for those who require uncompromising protection against the elements. Engineered with a focus on thermal efficiency and weather resistance, this unisex jacket provides a formidable barrier against wind, rain, and snow. By combining a high-performance waterproof membrane with a recycled insulating layer, it ensures the wearer remains warm and dry during demanding outdoor tasks or long shifts in inclement conditions.
Key Features
- 10,000mm Waterproof Rating: This high level of water resistance ensures the wearer remains dry even during prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
- Insulating Hollowfibre Fill: Utilises recycled polyester to trap heat effectively, providing substantial warmth without adding unnecessary bulk or weight.
- Four-Pocket Configuration: Includes dedicated handwarmer 'hot pockets' which offer both essential storage and a practical way to maintain dexterity in freezing temperatures.
- Integrated Logo Access: Features a dedicated zip access at the back and inner chest, allowing for clean, professional customisation without compromising the garment's internal lining.
- AquaDry Membrane: A technical dual-layer construction that allows moisture to escape while preventing water from entering, ensuring breathability during physical exertion.
Design & Performance
The construction of the CR303 prioritises both sustainability and durability. The outer shell is crafted from a resilient polyester reinforced with a TPU membrane, while the interior features a recycled polyester lux lining for enhanced wearer comfort. Despite its protective capabilities, the fabric remains lightweight, allowing for ease of movement—a critical factor for professionals working on-site or navigating outdoor trails. The inclusion of recycled zip tapes and materials reflects a modern approach to workwear that does not sacrifice performance for environmental responsibility.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This jacket is exceptionally well-suited for both print and embroidery, making it an ideal choice for corporate branding. For a traditional and highly durable finish, we recommend embroidery for company logos and staff names; it provides a textured, premium appearance that withstands the rigours of daily wear. Alternatively, for large-scale branding or high-visibility designs, our technical printing processes offer sharp, vibrant results. Every customisation is handled by our expert in-house team in Telford, who have been perfecting garment decoration since 1976. The specific logo access zips ensure that your branding is applied professionally without affecting the jacket's thermal or waterproof integrity.
Use Cases
This jacket is an excellent choice for site managers, outdoor event staff, and transport professionals who spend significant time exposed to the British winter. Its professional silhouette also makes it suitable for customer-facing roles where a smart, uniform appearance must be maintained regardless of the weather.

Practical Advice
The unisex fit is available in a broad size range from XS to 3XL. Given the insulated nature of the jacket, we recommend selecting your standard size for a comfortable fit over a single base layer or sweatshirt. If you intend to wear multiple heavy layers beneath, you may wish to consider the provided chest measurements to ensure adequate mobility.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical performance of the AquaDry membrane, it is essential to wash this garment using Craghoppers AquaDry waterproof cleaner or a pure soap. Standard household detergents often contain surfactants that can clog the breathable pores of the fabric and strip away the water-repellent finish.
Avoid the use of bleach, water softeners, and fabric conditioners at all costs. These chemicals chemically break down the synthetic fibres and the waterproof coating, which will eventually lead to the garment 'wetting out' and losing its thermal efficiency.
The jacket can be tumble dried on a low setting. This is actually beneficial for the garment, as the gentle application of heat helps to regenerate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating on the outer fabric. Similarly, a cool iron on the outer side can help maintain this protective layer.
Always ensure all fasteners and zips are closed before laundering to prevent snagging or mechanical damage to the recycled lining. Finally, keep the jacket away from solvents, alcohols, and insecticides, as these substances can cause permanent damage to the technical membranes and recycled materials.
