About the Brand
Outdoor Research (OR) is defined by a "born in the elements" heritage, originating from the necessity to solve real-world problems in the most unforgiving environments on Earth. At Brigantes, we recognise that OR equipment consists of more than mere garments; they are technical tools designed for thermal efficiency, moisture displacement, and life-critical protection. By focusing on advanced materials and ergonomic design, Outdoor Research provides high-performance apparel and specialised combat glovewear that gives soldiers a critical advantage.
Their hand-wear systems are specifically engineered to maintain manual dexterity and tactile feedback even in the most extreme sub-zero conditions, ensuring weapon manipulation and technical tasks remain unhindered by the cold.
The Brigantes Partnership
As the exclusive face of Outdoor Research in Europe, Brigantes’ relationship goes far deeper than standard distribution. We work hand-in-hand with their design teams, actively driving the development and refinement of key product lines to meet the precise requirements of modern forces.
Our direct involvement in tailoring their cutting-edge combat uniform systems ensures that European operators receive rugged, mission-specific apparel built precisely for the theatres they deploy to.
