Founded in Seattle in 1981, Outdoor Research was born out of a very real need: to better protect people in the mountains. After an expedition to Alaska marred by inadequate equipment, founder Ron Gregg decided to design products capable of withstanding the harshest conditions without compromising on functionality.
For over 40 years, Outdoor Research has been developing technical clothing and accessories designed formountaineering, skiing, hiking, and demanding environments. Each product is field-tested by athletes and professionals, with a constant focus on durability, weather protection, and freedom of movement.
The brand stands out for its practical innovations: waterproof and breathable fabrics, smart designs, iconic accessories, and a responsible approach that incorporates recycled materials and more sustainable manufacturing processes.
Outdoor Research embodies a committed vision of the outdoors: reliable gear, designed for action, made for those who go out when conditions get serious.
