How are we almost midway through December?! Christmas is tobogganing towards us at reindeer speed and many of us are dashing around to get gifts for our friends and family. It’s an exciting but stressful time, rushing us flat off our feet. But don’t worry if your presents aren’t sorted just yet – Santa is still taking lists. If you’re looking for the perfect stocking filler for an adventure lover, look no further: Grangers has something for every explorer.

We’re on the cusp of a new year, bringing promises of healthy eating habits, rigorous training regimes and crossing some big outdoor activities off our bucket lists. It’s a time to hike further, climb higher and run faster and here at Grangers, we commend you!

As we head further into the year, transitioning from winter to spring, the weather gets weird. We’re entering that strange not-quite-winter, not-quite-spring temperature zone where things are starting to heat up, but you’ll still need to wrap up. This is the season of baselayers. The humble baselayer is a multi-faceted commodity, offering extra heat, easy removal, breathability and a great look (if you get the right kind).

We get some very varied weather here in the UK. From sudden downpours and gale-force winds to freak blizzards and scorching heatwaves, Britain’s temperate climate means we see cold, wet winters and warm, wet summers. This is great because it means our green spaces stay just that – green – all year long, meaning we can expect to see magnificent outdoor scenery at any time of year.

We know #teamgrangers love to stay active and, for a lot of you, that includes running. It might just be a hobby to increase your stamina, beat your PB or improve your general fitness but for some, it’s about pushing your body and mind to the absolute limit. The London Marathon is around the corner, taking place on 21st April, and some of you might be taking part.

The 22nd of April is World Earth Day, a day to celebrate our wonderful planet. Starting in America in 1970, Earth Day has raised billions to conserve and safeguard our planet, its ecosystems and all its inhabitants, from small to large, furry to scaly, in the seas, on land and in the skies. As we all know, doing our bit to protect this world we all love to explore is becoming more and more important. From the impact of global warming to reducing unnecessary landfill waste

Grangers has some incredible news that we have been eager to share for a while. We are very proud to collaborate with the RNLI as their Official Aftercare Partner. Using our world-class cleaning and reproofing products, the RNLI’s All-weather Lifeboat crews will stay warm and dry for longer, enhancing the performance and extending the life of their kits. Grangers’ Performance Wash, Clothing Repel and Performance Repel Plus will be used to treat the gear of the Lifeboat Crews whilst Active Wash and Wetsuit Wash will be utilised by Lifeguards and Inshore Lifeboat Crews.

Has the Olympics and Paralympics got you feeling inspired? Maybe you’re particularly smitten with judo, taken with archery or intrigued by handball. The Olympics and Paralympics provide great motivation to get active and try a new sport. Even if summer is nearly over. The awful British weather certainly won’t produce a sweat but exercising and attempting to beat your PB will.

Grangers’ latest product is making waves by transforming the way you wear your wetsuit. Offering superior, non-toxic cleaning, Wetsuit Wash is a water-based, PFC-free solution that easily removes dirt and odours from all wetsuits, drysuits and swimsuits whilst restoring performance. This easy-to-use, dilutable cleaner comes in a 100% recycled bottle, is cruelty-free and biodegradable, meaning it is completely safe to use in water, posing no risk of water contamination.
