Outdoor Research Return Policy
New, unused Outdoor Research products can be returned for refund by following the steps below. We don’t accept returns purchased from warehouse or sample sales, donations, or unauthorized stores or websites. Please note that online credit will be provided in the event we are unable to process your credit card refund. Online credit has no expiration date and is good for purchases in our online store only. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer.
For gear that has been used and has a defect in materials, workmanship, or product failures, please see our Infinite Guarantee.
Website Returns
New products purchased from Outdoor Research.com need to have original tags attached and a receipt to submit a return for refund within 60 days of the purchase date. Scroll down below to start this process.
Please Note:
- Sorry, we do not accept returns or exchanges on masks, neck gaiters, or face coverings.
- Regarding COVID-19 -- We are currently taking extra precautions when receiving and processing goods in our warehouse. With that being said, upon arrival, we will not open or process a return until 5-7 business days later. We understand that this will create a longer wait time but hope that you will understand that during these uncertain times our goal is both the safety of our staff and taking care of you, our customer. Thank you for your understanding.
