It’s human nature to complain when we encounter something we don’t like, and fail to acknowledge things we do like. But sometimes the evidence for the latter is so overwhelming that you can’t ignore or deny it.

This is the case with my Outa Ware wardrobe. I have river pants, fleece pants, ski pants, two ski coats, a vest, and a river jacket. I’ve had most of them for damn near a decade and none of them show any signs of wear. I use them heavily – they’re my go-to garments, one and all, for most of my outdoor adventures. The stuff is amazing. I searched my closets the other night for any piece of apparel half the age of my Outa Ware clothes, and couldn’t find any. It’s all worn out over the years.

  A colleague of mine was shopping for ski pants and I told him to get Outa Ware pants, in conservative colors because he’d have them for the rest of his life. I wasn’t exaggerating. He’s 25.

  I’m an writer and I review a lot of outdoor apparel. Much of it has interesting features, cool colors, etc. – but none of it even comes close to Outa Ware in terms of durability. On top of all that, my Outa Ware clothing is comfortable. My fleece pants are my winter pajamas. On road trips, I barely take off my river pants. My ski pants have been up and down half a dozen resorts and a dozen mountains. The stuff is awesome. Better than any of the top outdoor brands in the world. Just don’t tell them I said that, or they might stop sending me free apparel to field-test. I love my Outa Ware dearly but I do need to mix things up once in a while.

  Keep up the good work.

Hi Andy,

My new fleece pants size large are HUGE so I gave them to a girlfriend. She needed some good gear.  Maybe we can try a smaller size? My other size large fleece pants are not quite so large, I don't know why.  How about we go with a size medium? Same leg length, same super thick fleece (recycled).  These fleece pants are great for working outside here on the farm with my llamas and trail building.

Thank you, 
For PEACE in 2012,

 I received the ski bib and travel pants today. Thanks!  The travel pants are much more comfortable than I expected. In fact, I have to keep checking to make sure that I actually have pants on (at my age, it's always a possibility that I've forgotten). I really like them and it was great being able to add a little extra refinement like the new cargo pocket.  

I'm excited to try out the bib. It fits great and will certainly keep the snow from my backside. I could have used them last Sunday, the first little trip we did, climbing the Showdown Ski  Area with fresh powder (and a few rocks). Again it was nice to ask for a single layer as an option since I tend to overheat.

Dear Andy,

I received the 2XL pants this morning. They fit GREAT!!  And look terrific.  Can’t wait to subject them to some weather conditions. Thank you so much for the excellent customer service.

Andy, I got my vest. This is AWESOME ! ! !   I hope you took a picture and put it on your website. I know everyone on the hill this year is going to ask me about it when they see additional stuff hanging from my vest.

Andy,  Just wanted to let you know that the pants fit perfect and my wife loves them!   I think she may now be in the market for a pair of wind / running / hiking pants…I need to get her on the website to look.

  Thanks,   Drew Richards  2/8/2011

Andy,

     I got the vest today. This thing rocks!   Thanks so much for your amazing workmanship and outstanding service. You just set a new standard. I will be calling you in the summer for my red Patrol Vest.

Andy,

Just got the Host vest you made for me.  It is the Blaster style in Royal Blue.  It looks great but the quality is the first thing I noticed.  All of the pockets will more then take care of the first aid and other items I carry on the mountain.  It adds a real touch of class to our uniform.

  Thanks again,

I love the pants!  Thank you for sending a couple of options, it was very helpful.  I appreciate the service you provided. I am a short plus size women, and have had a tough time finding some quick drying pants to wear down the Colorado River.  These fit great and are going to be perfect for my trip.

Thank you, Amanda Simpson

Andrew,

Got the pants in the mail today and they're awesome. Perfect fit! This is the first time I've had pants that fit me right. Thanks for all of your help.

Hi Andrew,

     I want to thank you for the black patrol vest I recently received. I saw your ad in the APP (Association of Professional Patrollers) Newsletter and visited the website. I seem to have a terrible time getting things that I’m happy with when I don’t get to see, touch and try first, so hesitantly, I ordered the vest. When it showed up in the small, light-weight, flimsy mailer just a couple of days later, my first reaction was that I have wasted my money. After opening, inspecting, loading and wearing it for the first time, I am absolutely impressed and delighted with it. The fit, the feel, the functionality are fabulous. Fellow patrollers are amazed as well. I suspect you know that you make a good product so this is not a surprise to you. Still, I want you to know how pleased I am with the vest. Thanks.

  Blessings, John Batchelder- Idaho

    Thanks for working on another custom piece for me. Always APPRECIATED!  Love your work. Hope you're fine.  Take care & hope to make it that way next season.

          I just got the bibs. You did it, great fit. First time I've had ski pants that actually fit me like they're made for me, wait they were made for me!  Thanks again for going the extra mile in getting me into a bib that fits me the way it should.  Great looking/feeling, quality product.

P.S.  Andy, this ski season's over, just want to thank you again for putting the customer, me, first and a comfortable quality product. Got lots of compliments on the fit, materials and workmanship of my made-for-me bibs. 

Dave Holland  4/19/10

       still wearing my ski bibs you made for me when I ran Northern Lights at Big Sky--Nothing else compares. Hope you're doing well, I'm in Boise now doing good.  Let me hear from you, 

Blake.  1/21/10

     I got the pants and used then yesterday at Alta in 15 degree weather and some blowing.  They were great.  The fit is fine.  The design is great as well.

Thanks so much for your help with the order- Human contact is still so rewarding in this technical world!

Have a wonderful holiday.

Andy, I've got an amazing pair of bibs you made me. They've lasted like no
other and I am happy to keep using them - I did however have a zipper
(one of the full leg zippers) break on me. As the season approaches I
was hoping to mail the bibs to you for repair.

Please advise, thanks.

Andy,

Andy Tuller,

My name is Chuck Condon and I lived in Bozeman 7-8 years ago (good gravy that's a long time ago) and purchased your wonderful clothing. I am now residing in warmer climes and would like to trade-in a Montana fleece and a Chore Coat for Kaky River pants and possibly a jacket. It all depends on pricing.

It is great to see that you and your company live on. I hope that all your endeavors are fun and you always return with stories and pictures.

Peace,
Chuck

Dear Andy;

I have worn your ski bibs and patrol vest for something like 8 years now at Big Sky. They’re still warm, comfortable, and practical. And best of all (for me, not you),  they still look new. Best gear I have ever used!

The family also uses your mesh bags for all our regional travels. Same quality.

  Thanks!     David King, MD     11/26/08  

Dear Andy,

The Mountain Pants that Kelly Johnson ordered for me are superb! They fit just exactly right.

I'm not crazy enough to climb mountains, strap barrel staves on my feet and slide back down, but I do a considerable amount of open-boat fishing; these pants are going to be just great in early spring in the boat, as well as many early mornings most any time.

The pants will make a great companion piece to the vest Kelly gave me earlier. Which, Kelly has heard so many times (sometimes out across the open water from half-mile away) is: THE GREATEST FISHING VEST ANYBODY EVER MADE! And it is just as great as an ice-fishing vest, too.

I thank you for your fine work, Andy.

Best,

Dear Andy, 

You have gone above and beyond the duty of a garment manufacturer. I am so completely impressed with your enthusiasm and willingness to please. After the recent loss of__________'s integrity to provide quality functional clothing, I have been looking for a company that can produce and stand behind their gear. I have found that company in Outa Ware. You have a loyal customer and can expect more orders from me in the future. Your staff is awesome and your flexibility to work with people is twice that of any company I've worked with. The jacket I am sending back got lots of remarks from people that were interested. I was more than enthusiastic to tell how much I like the jacket. Now I will tell them how much I like your company, too. Send a handful of business cards and brochures and I will be glad to hand them out for you when I get approached about my jacket.

Thanks again for all your help.

Andrew;

I acquired a pair of rafting shorts thru KGLT fund drive! I must admit these are the best shorts I have ever worn. I lived in them all summer and they still look and work like new. I also coach ski racing in Montana and will be contacting you for winter Outa Ware apparel. Thanks Steve
