Wrangler targets outdoor with performance denim collection
Wrangler has become the latest jeans brand to branch into performance denim for workwear and outdoor.

Its new Born Ready collection includes Rain Ready, with a water-resistant finish, and Cold Ready, made with an insulating fibre called Thermolite.

A marketing campaign across the UK, Germany and Poland will feature adventurer Alastair Humphreys (pictured) in a series of ‘adventure films’ and an interactive online map on which users can upload descriptions of their 'adventures' to win prizes.

The collection also features water-resistant outerwear including parkas, peacoats and down jackets.
Wrangler European marketing director Ilaria Pasquinelli said: “We now have a brand message that can permeate our whole collection as it speaks to our roots of looking good and working hard.”
