At K2 we pride ourselves for partnering with and stocking some of the best brands in the outdoor market. Outdoor Research has been a staple in K2's range for many years, with a diverse range of products to suit all extreme conditions - cold and hot.

"More than 40 years after Outdoor Research was founded, many people who use our gear to access the far corners of the planet likely aren't aware of the degree to which our name is so closely tied to the relentless mission of our founder, Ron Gregg.

In-depth field research on how OR's gear performed in challenging outdoor situations is how we made a name for ourselves in the early 80s. Beyond that, it also drove Ron, a super-focused nuclear physicist turned outdoor entrepreneur, to repeatedly immerse himself in what he affectionately called "the big office" — the world's most extreme environments.

It was in one of those environments that he died in an avalanche 20 years ago this year.

This is a film produced by Outdoor Research and its affiliates."
