Outdoor Research has recently updated their Pro Purchase Program. It is open for applications and all federal, state and military personnel are eligible. Previous enrollees will need to reapply.

Anyone know how this program works? It sounds like it its a reduced cost purchasing program similar to Oakley SI. Anyone have any experience with it?
Yes, the OR people are great and for a pro deal, the selection is pretty good and usually has what you’re looking for in stock. It won’t work like a retail site would, with super fast shipping available or stuff like that, but you can’t beat the prices anywhere.
Thanks for the responses. Do you know of any other corporations that offer military/le pricing like this?
Smith Elite & ESS both offer mil/le pricing.

Just an fyi. We’ve taken the approach to hold inventory for our pro program so availability should be greatly improved going forward.
Yes, sign up. You will like the terms.
It is a good deal – however, the update resulted in a significant reduction in the number/type of products available to military “pros”. It is still a very good deal for a very good product with a great warranty, but was a slight disappointment for a long-time customer who had access to the full monty until recently.
Mike,
That issue has been corrected. All Gov pros have access to all products, including the complete commercial line. The reduction in products offered when we switched pro IT platforms was a programming mistake.
