Description
Climbing at Smith Rock is world-class, but the climbers themselves come with less desirable side effects: Sweat, smells, and sunburns. Beat the desert heat (and its repercussions) with the new line of Chain Reaction tops, named after the classic 5.12c arête. Each piece packs in UPF 50+ sun protection, ActiveFresh odor control technology, send-enhancing stretch, as well as a wicking and quick-drying performance so you'll dry off just in time for the next go. Don't sweat the steep stuff, wear the Chain Reaction instead.
At Outdoor Research, we think that life gets better the minute we step out the door on a new adventure, no matter how big or small. We learn about ourselves, each other, and the environment every time we get out. We come home a little wiser and stronger. We see the world more clearly, and that compels us to treat it better. More than anything, we’re convinced that if we inspire more people to get outside, the world will be a better place.
In 1981, a brilliant scientist and adventurer named Ron Gregg watched his frostbitten partner get airlifted off a glacier on Denali. He'd spent months planning a new route in the purest style, skiing 100 miles from the road to the base of the climb. Barely halfway to the summit, their trip ended with the failure of a simple pair of gaiters. Stubborn to the end, Ron refused a seat on the helicopter and descended alone for two weeks, pondering what had happened. Somewhere along the way, he realized he could both fix the gear problem and devote his life to pursuing his passion for adventure. By the end, he knew one thing for sure: He wasn't going back to his old job.
