About Outdoor Research
Based in Seattle, WA, Outdoor Research designs and manufactures functional solutions for human powered adventure with a product line of technically innovative and superior apparel, headwear, handwear, gaiters, storage and shelter systems. The high-quality construction and testing of the product is matched with Outdoor Research’s Infinite Guarantee™, which covers the product for a lifetime. With deep roots in human powered adventure, Outdoor Research got its start in the garage of mountaineer/physicist Ron Gregg after a pair of faulty gaiters thwarted a Denali summit attempt. Experience spawned inspiration, and the revolutionary X-Gaiter was born. Now, nearly 30 years later, Outdoor Research continues its tradition of creative innovation and production by carefully listening to all the athletes and customers who seek adventure.
Outdoor Research enthusiastically supports a variety of organizations that are committed to the conservation and access of our wildlands. Through stewardship and education, these alliances will keep our favorite playgrounds pristine and accessible for generations to come.
