gloves and gaiters. Outdoor Research is known for using the best, most advanced materials like Gore-Tex and their commitment to a lifetime warranty, reflecting the company’s enduring focus on quality and durability.
Outdoor Research (OR) was founded in 1981 by physicist and mountaineer Ron Gregg. The company's origin is famously tied to a disastrous climbing expedition, where Gregg's partner suffered frostbite due to faulty gear. This spurred Gregg to create superior equipment, establishing OR's core philosophy: a function-first, problem-solving approach to design. Gregg’s scientific background and commitment to real-world testing by athletes and guides quickly cemented the Outdoor Researches reputation for creating high-performance, durable and reliable outdoor gear.
Outdoor Research focussed on problems faced by outdoor enthusiasts and created practical, functional solutions like the X-Gaiter (an insulated versatile gaiter, allowing it to fit a variety of boots), the Seattle Sombrero (the best selling Gore-Tex hat of all time), the Water Bottle Parka, (which remains the standard for keeping water from freezing in cold climates), three piece Modular Mitts (providing a multilayer solution for hand insulation) and Brooks Ranger Overboots (which have since travelled many times to the summits of the world's highest peaks and to both poles).
