The founder of the outdoor brand is mostly lovers of outdoor sports such as mountaineering and skiing, and Outdoor Research is no exception, the brand's™ products pay more attention to both practicality and functionality. Continue to develop the rest of the products, and the single products launched will be produced after on-site evaluation by professionals. Because of its technology and R&D capabilities, Outdoor Research became a supplier of gloves and hats to the U.S. military.
Outdoor Research launched the Modular mittens in 1984 and became the industry benchmark since its launch, surpassing the commercially available syndacty, featuring Gore-Tex® fabric, Moonlite Pile lining with Velcro for upgraded warmth and environmental conditions, and a lanyard to prevent glove loss. After the refinement, it is still a classic glove from Outdoor Research.
Outdoor Research now has more than 100 models of gloves to choose from. Outdoor Research has identified four of the 18 best ski gloves in the latest Outdoor Gearlab evaluation. The top-rated Outdoor Research Alti is made of synthetic material, which is more waterproof than leather and is not much different from the Black Diamond guide in terms of warmth. It should be noted that flexibility and warmth are often at odds, and the Outdoor Research Alti can only achieve a very average level of dexterity, so it is recommended for snowboarders. The glove liner is also worth mentioning, breathable and windproof, and can be used alone on ski slopes where the temperature is not very low, and the double glove design sells for $116.24.
For ordinary skiers, a pair of ski gloves that have above average level of warmth and waterproofing and do not exceed $70 is considered a very cost-effective existence. The Outdoor Research Revolution is one such product, the wool lining is soft and comfortable, the leather outer layer does not need to be worn for a long time, and the flexibility is better than the Outdoor Research Alti.
Outdoor Research not only makes gloves, snow covers, hats and other products, but also gradually diversifies the product line of clothing, outdoor accessories and other products after the turn of the millennium, and entered China in 2008 with a special counter in Beijing.
