My First Jacket Was A Sprayway

Sprayway Anniversary

My First Jacket Was A Sprayway

That first bright orange PU Mountain cag back in the 70’s, an 80’s hand me down Snipe from your dad you used at uni, that acid three colour Torridon jacket you just had to have in the 90’s or the Compact jacket you packed for your world travels in the 00’s. We’ve produced thousands of ‘first jackets’ over the last half a century. They have been on ten’s of thousands of journeys, each one having a tale to tell.

Why Your Story Matters

From humble beginnings in a Manchester garage to outfitting arctic explorers and national park rangers, Sprayway has been part of the British outdoor experience for half a century. Your stories are the threads that weave together our history. As we look back on the past 50 years, we’re also excited to create new memories together. Share your story and be part of the journey.
P.S bonus points if it comes in the form of a handwritten postcard from the Karakoram…
