outdoor research

Founded in 1981 in Seattle by nuclear physicist and mountaineer Ron Gregg, Outdoor Research was born from a function-forward approach to problem-solving after a frostbite incident on Denali. Gregg’s scientific background directly informed the brand’s ethos of creating highly durable, technical gear designed for extreme conditions. The brand is widely recognized for its signature accessories, including protective gaiters, modular gloves, and the iconic Seattle Rain Hat, alongside core apparel lines like the Ferrosi and Helium collections.
