What keeps you "Rooted"? We're excited to introduce our latest brand campaign––a tribute to the landscapes that have shaped our identity and innovation. For over 40 years, the Pacific Northwest has been more than just our home—it's been our proving ground. The jagged peaks, wild rivers, stormy coastlines, and deep forests have challenged us to create gear that thrives in the harshest conditions. If you've spent time in these landscapes, you know the feeling. They push you to be stronger, bolder, and more adaptable. "In the Pacific Northwest, we embrace challenge. We adapt. These landscapes push us to be stronger, bolder, and more innovative," says Chris King, VP of Brand at Outdoor Research. "Rooted" is a reflection of that mindset—our commitment to designing gear as resilient as the environments that inspire us. From the volcanoes and peaks of the high Cascades to the misty depths of the Olympic rainforest, these places aren't just a backdrop. They shape the way we explore, push our limits, and keep moving forward—no matter the conditions. With this campaign, we're reaffirming what drives us: building gear that empowers our customers to explore, test their boundaries, and go beyond what they thought possible. #OutdoorResearch #Rooted https://lnkd.in/gX97ex44
