Shortly before Outdoor Research launched their mountain bike apparel line, we had the opportunity to visit their Seattle, Washington headquarters for an inside look. Founded by Ron Gregg, a nuclear physicist with a passion for mountaineering, @Outdoorresearch sold their first product in 1981. Their X-Gaiter was designed to prevent others from suffering the same frostbite injuries that Ron Gregg’s climbing partner suffered while on expedition of Denali. That first product and the process of using a research-led approach to developing products solidified Ron’s drive to commit to Outdoor Research, leaving his old career behind. In the decades since the brand has grown, product lines have expanded and with that, new people have been exposed to this popular and highly respected brand. Even I as a non-techy “outdoorsy” type had seen the OR logo and knew of the brand. While I didn’t know the extent of their history, passion of their fans and legacy behind Outdoor Research, I was excited when I learned they were bringing their knowledge to mountain bike apparel. So, let’s step inside the doors at OR Seattle and meet with the people, personalities, and ethos behind the brand.

I had my dollar bills ready when you lifted that sweet privacy poncho! 😂😉 9:23 great episode getting to know OR!
Ha ha ha.
I own many pieces from outdoor research, and I am excited to hear that they’re going to do a mountain bike line! Their helium jacket is one of my favorites.
We love the Helium as well and thanks for writing in!
Love OR and heard rumors of this coming. Can’t wait to get some pieces in my gear bag!
Everything we’ve tried on so far has been awesome
Love it, looking forward to that collab winter collection ;)
Too cold! Haha but they did give us some sweet jackets that have kept us very warm.
I’ve been riding in OR gear for years🤘
Can’t wait to get my hands on the MTB specific line🔥🍻
That’s awesome to hear. You’ll certainly appreciate the mtb stuff it is available now and worth checking out!
Best part about OR is the warranty. Makes all the gear so much more viable compared to the other bog names.
It is a definite plus!
One of my favorite brands!
They now are one of ours too!
Love this series!
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoy it. We have fun making them.
Amazing product, great people!
Absolutely.
OR makes amazing gear and one of the best warranties in the business.
The gear seems to be tip top so far
Looked like a fun time! Their new kit looks great, too.
It was and it is!
Chat with the color team huh? Strange it looks like you dont have a color team at all.
