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. Outdoor Research's 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. Outdoor Research's 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:
These aren't as think as I would like them,but I had planned to purchase more to layer up. So they have the room for that. They are nice and big as far as coming back up over my jacket. I haven't worn them out in the cold yet, but I've had many OR products and I'm assuming that they'll do the job...

Incredibly light weight jacket with lots of deep pockets inside and out. Love the color and the contrast gives it style. The jacket fits a little tight at the hips but that will keep the cold out. Love this jacket.

I love this jacket, it is very warm even when wet. My only complaint would be that the sleeves are pretty tight so it's a little hard layering up underneath.

It's a great jacket, not only waterproof but wind resistant and very breathable. Fitting is perfect for me, and it also stylish for daily wearing. But pit zips are a little tough to open and close. Overall, it's an excellent jacket.

I was really surprised by these mittens. They claim to be warm (I haven't really had to test them yet) but they are not bulky at all! They feel great on my hands. There is a grippy like design on the palms so my dog leash won't slip out of my hands this winter. Great mitten for the price!

Outdoor Research Arete Gore-Tex® Gloves - Waterproof Insulated (For Women)
 
Nice Gloves

Backcountry, Working Outdoors
Describe Yourself:

Gear Usage:
Cold Weather Living, Winter Sports
Sizing:
Feels true to size
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Comments:
Gloves are a snug medium. The liner is great in the gloves and fits perfectly. When the liner is in the gloves they are a snug medium but I'm not returning because I think the large would be too big. Gloves can be worn with/without the liner - there is some insulation in the gloves without the liner. The gloves are much more flexible without the liner but decent with it. It hasn't been bitter cold or wet to try them out but I think they were a great buy.
