Outdoor Research gloves

Outdoor Research is a renowned American brand based in Seattle, Washington, specializing in technical gear and apparel for outdoor activities such as climbing, hiking, and skiing. Founded in 1981 by scientist and adventurer Ron Gregg, the company began with the creation of a functional gaiter and has since expanded its product line to include high-performance gloves, hats, and outerwear. The gloves shown are manufactured in Cambodia, reflecting the brand's global supply chain for technical textile production.

In 2021, Outdoor Research was acquired by Youngone Corporation, a South Korean-based global manufacturing company known for producing high-tech outdoor and athletic wear. This ownership allows the brand to leverage vast manufacturing resources while maintaining its commitment to rigorous field testing and innovation in the Pacific Northwest. Today, it remains a favorite among alpine professionals and outdoor enthusiasts for its durable and highly functional equipment.
