Inspired by the lack of truly
technical apparel and layering
systems in inclusive sizes-and
the barrier that this presents for
some to participating in outdoor
activities-Outdoor Research is
introducing extended and plus
sizing in a range of base layers,
insulation, and shells. These new
offerings will create the outdoor
industry's most comprehensive
technical layering system available
in extended and plus sizing.
The Outdoor Research collection
includes rain jackets and pants,
alpine climbing pants, insulated
jackets, sun hoodies and shirts,
hiking pants, and more. " This is
about getting people outside-
people whose outdoor experiences
are compromised by the lack
of outdoor clothing that fits and
performs well, " says Liz Wilson,

store. In the aftermath, Neptune
received an outpouring of
support from the community it
serves. " We were shaken up by
what could have happened to our
staff, but hearing the gratitude
and relief from our customers
that we all were OK was very
moving, " says Shelley.

founded by Jahmicah and Heather
Dawes in 2017 in Stephenville,
Texas. The Dawes soon learned
