Outdoor Research 2010 Guide Feedback Questionnaire

Background: Outdoor Research is looking for input/comments/feedback from IMG’s guides relating to three disciplines: ice climbing, alpine climbing and climbing expeditions.

They’re hoping to develop some new layering pieces and refine some others for these disciplines in 2011. Please take a few minutes and fill out the word doc. and return to Tye via email: [email protected]

For reference I’ve included the names of the guide gear you’ve received in the past and what you’ll most likely be receiving this year.

Deadline for submission: Friday February 19th, 2010.

What is your ideal layering kit for the disciplines listed below? If it’s an OR piece that’s great – but is it perfect? Does it need a couple tweaks? If it’s not an OR piece – what is it? Are there holes in OR’s line that you fill with other brands – if so, what piece of gear do you use to fill that void? Please be as specific as possible – keeping all upper and lower body layers in mind (specifically including gloves and gaiters).
