Outdoor Research
The US-company Outdoor Research from Seattle was founded out of an emergency situation. Company founder Ron Gregg experienced a key moment during an attempt to climb mount Denali in Alaska with a friend. Already on the way to the mountain their venture failed due to a defective gaiter. His friend had to be flown out with severe frostbite on his foot and Gregg decided that from now on he wanted to devote his work to developing reliable outdoor equipment – the company Outdoor Research was born. And with success: Since then Outdoor Research has been standing for absolutely reliable and high-quality equipment and clothing. » Learn more about Outdoor Research
