Dudley and Tracy are both professional athletes for OR.  We love the quality, design and functionality of their clothing and gear.

In 1981, a brilliant scientist and adventurer named Ron Gregg watched his frostbitten partner get airlifted off a glacier in Denali. He'd spent months planning a new route in the purest style, skiing 100 miles from the road to the base of the climb. Barely halfway to the summit, their trip ended with the failure of a simple pair of gaiters. Stubborn to the end, Ron refused a seat on the helicopter and descended alone for two weeks, pondering what had happened. Somewhere along the way, he realized he could both fix the gear problem and devote his life to pursuing his passion for adventure. By the end, he knew one thing for sure: He wasn't going back to his old job.

Ron Gregg built Outdoor Research on the idea that life is an adventure, and the best gear makes it more fun. Though he died tragically in an avalanche more than a decade ago, his legacy remains at OR's core.

In OR's world, it's not about chasing heroes; It's about being on the journey. It's not how often they get out as much as how often they want to be out that makes them who they are. Their goal is to do all they can to expand the tribe of people who share their belief that progress is spiritual and life is unimaginable without the quest.
