Outdoor Research’s Pro Program includes paramedics and EMS, fire and law enforcement, and you apply for it. It isn’t an instant code. You send an application with proof of work, Outdoor Research approves or declines it, and the discount shows up in your account if you’re in. Outdoor Research doesn’t publish a percentage, so the price you see after you’re approved is what you get.
Outdoor Research makes outerwear and gear for rain, hiking, skiing and tactical use. If you hunt, fish or work outside, a shell, bibs or gloves are the pieces where a pro rate helps.
How To Get The Outdoor Research First Responder Discount
- Open the Outdoor Research Pro Program page with the button below and find your group in the eligibility lists.
- Paramedics and EMS apply under Outdoor Industry. That group asks for active employment and a recent paystub.
- Fire and law enforcement apply under Government. That group asks for active service, with an active ID or a recent paystub among the documents it accepts.
- Submit the application with your proof. Outdoor Research’s response time is about 3 to 5 business days.
- Once you’re approved, log in to your Pro account when you shop and check the price on your total before you pay.
Who Qualifies
The Government group lists fire, fish and wildlife, land management, law enforcement and military. Paramedic and EMS sit under Outdoor Industry, along with ski patrol, search and rescue and other outdoor jobs. If your category isn’t listed, Outdoor Research points you to ExpertVoice and Outdoor Prolink, which offer similar access with different eligibility guidelines.
What The Discount Is And Isn’t
The Pro discount varies by style and product availability, so the amount depends on what you buy. Approval is at Outdoor Research’s discretion, and it can adjust Pro pricing or revoke Pro benefits at any time. It’s a program with an application, not a promo code you can type in today.
The Rules Members Agree To
The program is for individual use only, and you can be removed for buying product for friends or family. You have to stay opted into Outdoor Research’s marketing emails to receive Pro discounts and renewal notices. Pros can shop with the discount at the Seattle flagship store, but not at Outdoor Research retailers. Eligibility is reviewed after each year, so expect to renew.
Returns And Warranty
New product from OutdoorResearch.com can be returned within 60 days of the purchase date, as long as it comes back new and unused with the original tags. Outdoor Research’s Infinite Guarantee covers its gear to perform throughout the lifetime of the product, apart from normal wear and tear and fit issues.
