Outdoor Research has long been a top tier outdoor brand with strong credentials in the military world. Starting in 2020, Brigantes and Outdoor Research will join forces and begin development of a new cold weather clothing system, to be introduced throughout the UK and EU.
Building on the core elements of the existing clothing range and using key technical fabrics such as GORE-TEX and Primaloft®, the range of products is designed to target the needs of the European militaries within Norway and Northern Europe.
The Colossus Parka and Tradecraft products have already seen use in the very far north of Norway where the exceptional insulation provided by Primaloft®, enabled operating at much lower temperatures with a far lower pack volume. This far exceeded the performance experienced with alternative items and with the evolution of Primaloft® insulation, products in the Tactical Cold Weather Project are expected to get lighter and warmer.
The cold weather system will cover all layers including mid, insulation and shell. This clothing system will be a significant addition to the excellent gloves and mitts already used by many units and will enable a complete solution built from the combined expertise of both North American and European operators.
