Founded in 1981, Outdoor Research has become a supplier of gloves and hats to the U.S. military, focusing on the development of outdoor gloves, hats and snow covers, and has continued to improve its product line. Because of its practical product functions, it has become a frequent visitor to major outdoor magazines, and has been awarded the Gear of the Year Award and Editor's Choice Award by many well-known publications such as Outside, Backpacker and National Geographic, and the product quality is safe and reliable.
 
Goose down is the main filling material of Outdoor Research's down jackets, with a down content of 90%, and it is also certified by RDS for down collection. TRANSCENDENT IS A CLASSIC AMONG THE BRAND, WITH A FILL POWER OF 650, THE FABRIC IS MADE OF 20D100% RIPSTOP POLYESTER FABRIC AND IS WATER-REPELLENT TO EASILY COPE WITH THE GENERAL COLD WEATHER. The built-in mountaineering buckle is easy to combine with the climbing rope to meet the needs of outdoor sports and reflect the versatility of use. The price is 199-225 US dollars (about 1384-1564 yuan), which is cost-effective.
 
IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A MORE POWERFUL DOWN JACKET, FLOODLIGHT IS A GREAT CHOICE. This puffer jacket has been called "the best buddy in cold and wet weather" by outdoor magazine Climbing, with a down fill power of 800. The fabric is Pertex Shield, the most water-repellent fabric in the Pertex fabric range, which combines a lightweight fabric with a windproof, waterproof and breathable membrane that makes the Outdoor Research down jacket more water-repellent than Patagonia with Pertex Quantum or Mammoth and Rab with Pertex Quantum Pro. THE FLOODLIGHT ALSO HAS A BUILT-IN MOUNTAINEERING LOOP CLOSURE AND BRUSHED LINED POCKETS TO KEEP YOUR HANDS WARM. At US$395 (about 2,747 yuan), it is the most expensive of the brands, but Outdoor Research is still competitively priced compared to professional first-tier outdoor brands.
 
However, down jackets are not the main product of Outdoor Research, and there are not many styles to choose from, and the appearance is a basic quilting style with wide quilting spacing. FLOODLIGHT, ON THE OTHER HAND, USES A SIMILAR HOT-PRESSING PROCESS TO COLUMBIA, WITH LITTLE QUILTING AND DOWN THAT DOESN'T EASILY GET OUT OF THE STITCHES. Unfortunately, Outdoor Research is not well-known in China, and there are not many channels to buy it.
