Outdoor Research

Outdoor Research

Outdoor Research, whose products bear the ubiquitous "OR" label, is regarded as a world-class technical outfitter known for high-quality mountaineering accessories. Its history goes back to 1981 when founder Ron Gregg was working on his doctorate in applied physics. A passionate mountain climber, he took a near-calamitous trip to the summit of Mt. McKinley with bad gaiters, suffered from cold, wet feet, and thereafter developed a snow-proof gaiter in his basement. Other products followed and Outdoor Research was born. Gregg found his niche in the "little things people don't give a second thought to, but wish they had." Outdoor Research designed first-aid kits, waterproof overmitts, casings to keep water bottles from freezing, and crampon pouches. Its famous Seattle Sombrero—a Gore-Tex® hat that looks more like a fedora than a sombrero — is still seen on the streets of Seattle (and slopes of nearby mountains) today. It's another example of "utilitarian chic" — the no-frills philosophy that has made Outdoor Research an innovative leader.

Comments:
I wear this hat while kayaking. I look dreadful in baseball caps, so this hat is a better look for me. It has a chin strap, so it won't blow off. The hat band is adjustable, so I can loosen or tighten as necessary. It has a nice size brim, which keeps the sun out of my eyes. It is very light weight, so it can roll up and fit it my backpack when not in use.

Outdoor Research makes good products. This hat is no exception, it is a beautiful colour and the lightweight design a plus for wear. The multiple rows of stitching on the generous brim did not keep it from flopping, it did not hold its shape. That was my only reason for return...

Comments:
A great jacket that's warm into the teens and below. The jacket is well stuffed with down - dense! The cut is more athletic and make you look sexy athletic versus other puffier down jackets (like the OR Megaplume). The cut is long enough to cover the front and mid butt very well - it wont ride up exposing your belly. It is a fantastic jacket that you won't regret to it have on the coldest of days. If you have a belly, I'd size up or get the boxier/warmer OR Megaplume.

Comments:
The jacket is better than my MH SubZero hooded jacket. While basically the same in insulation, this jacket is longer cut and covers your front much better. The material is nearly waterproof and of course totally windproof. The pockets are fleece lined and the hood fits helmets and is well insulated. The only negative is that the dual front zipper gets stuck sometimes and is a pain to use, but then again, EVERY jacket with dual zipper pulls are a pain...it's the nature of the beast I guess. All in all, I wouldn't trade it for anything and it'll keep you toasty in SUB ZERO temps!!

Casual Wear, Pool
Describe Yourself:
Casual, Practical
Sizing:
Feels true to size
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Comments:
Overall, I like the hat. It's reversible so it provides extra flexibility. It's lightweight and comfortable. It's actually a little too lightweight for a windy day because it can get blown off -- no chin strap. Was great for sitting on the beach but not as much for walking with a breeze.

Comments:
It's a reversible hat, but you'd have to take the tags off which would be fine if you don't write your number on the tag for when you will inevitably lose it. The rust color is not as bright as I expected, but nice. Love this hat for my purposes -- a fold up sun hat good for a variety of situations.

I like the hat, it's cute, and I do wear it, but it is warm - I tend to pull it off the minute I get in some shade.
