Outdoor Research and MtnStuff

Founded in 1981 by a physicist named Ron Gregg, Outdoor Research has been the “go to” brand for outdoor enthusiasts, athletes and professionals for durable, functional outdoor gear. As a scientist, and an avid outdoorsman in the Pacific Northwest, Ron’s passion for both science and the outdoors lead him down the path of creating his brand Outdoor Research. His drive helped to fuel the company growth, but this was sadly cut short, as Ron lost his life in an avalanche in British Columbia in 2003.

In 2004, Dan Nordstrom purchased the company, and he, too, shared Ron’s outdoor passions and a drive for the brand. Dan hired Mtn Stuff that same year to lead the sales efforts in the critical Rocky Mountain region. With a greater than 10 fold increase in as many years, Outdoor Research awarded Mtn Stuff with its top award, “Agency of the Year” in 2014. Today, Mtn Stuff continues to focus on expanding brand distribution while finding new ways to grow within our current dealer base. Mtn Stuff is a proud partner to Dan and our friends at Outdoor Research, and see only continued growth ahead.
