Outdoor Research Hemispheres’ kit garnered a lot of attention at its release in 2018 due to its claimed balance of weather protection and freedom of movement. To put it to the test, we hit the skin track and resort with the Hemispheres Bib, where it encountered everything from fresh powder to heavy, wet snow typical of the Pacific Northwest. In the end, it proved just as capable in the backcountry as it was on lift-assisted terrain and impressed us with its comfort, weatherproofing ability, and stretchiness. Below we outline our experiences with the Hemispheres Bib. To see how it stacks up, see our articles on the best ski pants  and best ski bibs . To complete your kit, we've also tested and reviewed the OR Hemispheres Jacket .

Outdoor Research Archangel GORE-TEX Bibs Review

by Bennett Colvin · Published January 2, 2023 , 8:50 am · Updated March 26, 2024 , 5:53 am

Here in Northern Colorado we are off to the best ski season in years. Our local mountain has gotten over 150 inches of snow before the new year which has made for some of the best early season skiing in a long time. All of this great skiing has also made me realize that it is time to update some of my ski gear and this will start with the Archangel GORE-TEX Bibs from Outdoor Research .    

Over the past few weeks I have been skiing in the Archangel GORE-TEX Bibs from Outdoor Research. Outdoor Research was founded by adventure enthusiast Ron Gregg. On an expedition in Denali, Ron experienced gear failure that led to the trip being cut short. Once back in home, Ron quit his job and decided to start engineering outdoor gear that would meet the demands of outdoor adventures. Today the company Outdoor Research is based in Seattle, Washington.

With storm after storm rolling in and more on the way this is the perfect time to get out and get some turns in. This was also a perfect opportunity to try out the Archangel GORE-TEX Bibs and see how they held up to the deep powder.  

Initial Thoughts on the Archangel GORE-TEX Bibs

The Archangel GORE-TEX Bibs are designed to be all mountain ski pants that are made to withstand the rigors of deep snow and big mountain descents. The construction of these bibs is reflected in their engineering.  

The Archangel Bibs are constructed using the GORE-TEX Pro 3L. The GORE-TEX Pro 3L offers top of the line protection from the elements. This material is a 3 layer system that provides durability, breathability, and mobility. The outermost layer utilizes 20- 300 denier fabric that is snag proof and tear resistant. Underneath this protective layer is a breathable, waterproof, and tear resistant inner layer. This technology is why GORE-TEX is widely known as some of the most bomb proof material on the market.  

To allow for mobility, stretch panels have been incorporated throughout the design. These panels have been strategically placed in the knees, lower back, and crotch gusset. Around the ankles are adjustable safeguard cuffs. These durably designed areas are made to protect against ski edges and crampon punctures.  

Design Features

Outdoor Research also is on top of design features for times when “nature calls.” In the front there is a small zipper to allow for relief. Additionally, there is also a rear hatch that can be accessed by two zippers that run the length of the sides of the bibs. 

The storage features of the Archangel GORE-TEX Bibs come from two pockets. One pocket is on the chest of the bibs. This pocket is relatively small and can hold items like a cell phone or car keys. The side pocket located on the right side of the bibs is quite deep. This pocket is more substantial than the chest pocket and could accommodate a small water pouch and snacks.  

The suspender straps are held on by releasable suspender clips. These clips are designed so that straps can come off easily so that undergarments can be changed up easily and effortlessly.  

Testing the Archangel Bibs

Weatherproof is how I would describe these Archangel Bibs. I have had a chance to ski these bibs when it has been dumping snow, in deep powder, and in howling winds. They have seen the full array of Colorado weather this month and I have been super pleased with how they have held up.  

The GORE- TEX Pro 3L is some bomber material. Even when snow would be sitting on my thighs on a long chair lift ride, I would have no soak through. It was impressive how dry I stayed even through several days of skiing in weather where snow, ice, and water would build up on the outside of the pants. These pants are definitely waterproof and hold up well to inclement weather.

The Fit of the Archangel Bibs

For me the Archangel Bibs fit ok. I am 5’10 and 180 pounds and went with the large size. Most of the time I find myself somewhere between size medium and large. In outerwear I tend to error on the side of caution and go with the larger size. This allows for layering underneath. Since Archangel Bibs are a shell I was planning on wearing at least one layer underneath.  

The length of the bibs were near perfect. I found that they came up low but not too low on my boot. I like this as it is another layer of protection from snow coming in.

A Couple Fit Issues

The waist and thighs are where I have most issues with fit. The waist of the size large bibs is too big for me. I have to admit that I may have gone a little overboard on holiday cookies this year but even so the waistline on the Archangel bibs is more than generous. The result is the leftover material bunches in the back. Though this is not a problem or even noticeable with a jacket over the top. If I was skinning in a snowstorm or on a sunny spring ski day where I didn’t wear a jacket over top, this could be a problem.

The other area I have a bit of fit issues with are the upper thighs and crotch. These areas of the bibs are a bit tight for me. I would consider my thighs large as I was a former collegiate sprinter so I sometimes have a tight fit in outerwear. However, I would think that in a size large I would be good to go, yet they were a bit snug. None of the fit issues were a deal killer but were definitely noticeable.

The Bells and Whistles

These bibs are definitely minimalistic which will work for most people. The front pocket is the perfect size for car keys and a cell phone. When wearing a jacket over the top I have really only used this pocket for my keys as digging for my cell phone would be a hassle. The hip pocket is really nice and deep. I have been using this for holding snacks and even a small hydration water pouch. Even with these items inside this there is still more than enough room. One thing that I find a bit interesting is why there is not a complementary pocket on the other side. This is really not an issue for me but I would imagine if I was left handed, I may like the pocket to be on the left side for easier access. 

The scuff guard around the base of the bibs is great. I like how burly this is. When skinning I find that this is when my ski pants get the most torn up. My ski edges sometimes hit my pants causing small cuts that need to get repaired. I don’t see this being that much of an issue on these bibs. The rest of the leg cuff area is also well thought out. The inner portion of the cuff is a snow gator and can be snugly secured around the top of the ski boot. These have been great in the deep snow. Not even once have I had snow get into my boots.

Our Verdict

Compare to similar products, our analysis and test results.

The Hemispheres Bib was a standout during our testing process. Surprisingly lightweight for a pair of bibs, it's a three-layer Gore-Tex shell with no insulation. The 70-denier nylon external material should be durable enough for multiple seasons of use; we have had several successful seasons of skiing with this nylon density in other ski pants. The drop-seat feature, which we wish all ski bibs would include, makes using the restroom possible without removing your jacket — a huge boon. There is a pocket with a clip for storing an avalanche beacon, too. They are pricey, but you won't find better backcountry-focused bibs.

Performance Comparison

Weather Resistance

These bibs exceeded our expectations during their weather resistance test. The Hemispheres are made with a combination of 3-layer Gore-Tex and a stretchier 2-layer Gore-Tex in key areas where stretch is beneficial. We can't lie; we were skeptical of how the 2-layer spots would hold up. The material is ridiculously stretchy and seemed like wind and water would go right through.

That wasn't the case. We never noticed wind coming through the stretch material or the 3-layer Gore-Tex, and these pants completely withstood our 2-minute shower test. We focused the water on all parts of the pant, especially the zippers, vents, and different materials, and no water got through.

Fit and Comfort

One of the standout features of the Hemispheres is its comfort, as Outdoor Research thoughtfully designed the bib with movement and stretch in mind. First off, it features articulated knees which allow for uninhibited movement, especially when going uphill, as this gives extra room in high mobility zones. Second, they outfitted the bib with a stretchy Gore-Tex material in key tension zones, such as the crotch, sides, and lower back, allowing for uninhibited movement where you need it. This material is instantly notable for its stretch and comes in handy especially in the backcountry where stretch and space are key to crushing it both up and downhill. The fit is also forgiving if you need to layer up underneath.

Finally, its comfort as a bib is notable, as its straps are highly adjustable allowing a wide range of fits and heights to wear the bibs comfortably. They are baggier in the chest than many other pants on the market and this allows for a larger range of body types to wear the bibs without difficulty while still providing coverage and protection to the legs. While this baggier chest fit may not be for everyone, it certainly allows for versatility in the wearer and requires a less specific fit than a typical pant which measures at the waist. The slightly relaxed fit works well for this product's intended use. Enough fabric to allow movement without having too much material that would impede movement.

Ventilation

Two zippers, outside each leg and abdomen, help cool you fast and give you many options for where and how much air to let in. The two-layer stretch Gore-Tex is also incredibly breathable, and strategically placed in areas, such as the crotch, where heat may build up.

These bibs score low for warmth, as can be expected for any shell product. They simply aren't designed for that, but rather to keep the elements out and add protection. That being said, they have ample room for layering underneath, allowing for wearers to customize their level of warmth depending on what their day on the slopes calls for.

If you are someone who doesn't feel like they need added insulation in their pant and prefers a shell option, these pants will meet your expectations. If you prefer the added warmth to be built into your pant, these are probably not for you.

The Hemispheres Bib is fully loaded with thoughtful features to make your next backcountry adventure a success. First off, it has four pockets that are spacious and well placed. The two thigh pockets are roomy, and the right pocket comes specifically with space to fit an avalanche beacon. The kangaroo chest pocket is the largest we tested, making it easy to warm up hands, keep a phone, stuff your gloves if things warm up, or more. Finally, the horizontal chest zipper pocket is an easy space to put keys, lip balm, a lift ticket should you be inbounds, or other small items that you want to keep at hand.

Another feature to note on this bib is the easy to use drop seat for when nature calls in the backcountry, making it easy to go without having to remove your jacket or other top layers. It has a ski boot power strap cutout in the boot gaiter to allow for easy integration.

The OR Hemispheres Bib doesn't really turn heads with its style. It comes in only two color options, making it pretty limited if you don't like either of the colors. That being said, both are pleasing and muted.

The overall bib aesthetic is just alright for these, and the fit of the legs is flattering for most body types. One thing we did notice is that the chest of the bib is baggier. If you prefer a style that is more form-fitting, these may not be for you. The overall style and look of the bib is one of technical performance and "cool," certain to appeal to a backcountry lady's vibe.

The Hemispheres Bib is pricey, without a doubt. If you can afford the splurge, these pants are sure to deliver. If you plan on spending a lot of time out in the backcountry, you want a pant that can keep up with you and deliver. These bibs are that. We would recommend these for an avid backcountry skier or splitboarder who expects a lot out of their gear. If that is you, then these pants are certainly worth the spend, especially after multiple seasons of use.

Review: Outdoor Research Hemispheres II Bib

Ski bibs are one of those things you don’t realize that you’re missing until you try them. They prevent snow from falling down the back of your pants, while still ventilating sweat and retaining full-body warmth.

And as far as bibs go, the Hemispheres II Gore-Tex Bib from Outdoor Research hits the sweet spot between versatility, warmth, and freedom-of-movement. I tested the bib on resort laps and early-season touring this winter, and was impressed with its performance in both environments. Here’s a detailed rundown of what I noticed.

The Hemispheres II is a ski-touring specific bib, and it’s got all the features and design elements to flourish in the backcountry.

Sizing Bibs are a tough garment to fit. Every company’s size guide is a little different, and it’s worth trying on clothes in-person or reading reviews to get a sense for a brand’s sizing. Based on Outdoor Research’s size chart, and my experience with their clothing, OR apparel seems designed for folks who have a stockier build.

I’m 6’2”, 185 lbs, and relatively lanky. I wear a size L Hemispheres bib, and the fit is okay . The inseam, at 33”, is identical to my jean sizing, but feels shorter in these bibs. And the chest, while quite wide and spacious, just isn’t quite tall enough to pull up above my sternum. I could’ve bumped up to a size XL for a longer inseam, but I’d have been swimming in them. Fortunately, Outdoor Research included belt loops on this version of the Hemispheres, so I can make the size L work by shimmying some material down and wearing a nylon belt. Overall, folks who are on the taller, skinnier side of things might not fit into these bibs as well as burlier people do.

Materials The entire bib has a Gore-Tex membrane, but with some strategic flourishes. The crotch and back yoke are made of Gore-Tex “Stretch Panels”—elastic pieces of fabric that are still completely waterproof. They give the bib an extra inch or two of wiggle room, and are convenient for bending, sitting, squatting, or any other odd position I might need to use on the mountain. Overall, the bib is thinner and lighter than the typical snowpant, making it ideal for backcountry ski-touring. And while also great for warmer resort days, it just doesn’t have the wind resistance for brutally cold chairlift rides when the temperatures really plummet.

For general use in southwest Montana, the Hemispheres II have set the bar high.

Moving down the bib, the inside cuffs are reinforced with a heavy nylon to protect against boot-rubbing. The interior “inner” cuffs also have straps that cinch around ski boots, preventing any snow from falling into my boots. The bottom seam is reinforced as well, so fraying isn’t an issue. All in all, the materials and placement were thoughtfully designed in the Hemispheres.

Ventilation The first thing I noticed on an early-season Lick Creek tour was the full-length zipper on the right side of the bib. It makes getting the garment on and off a breeze, and provides serious air flow when on the skin track. Two zipper mechanisms also make it easy to open the vent in the location of my choice, and of the size of my choosing. A smaller zipper on the right side of the pants allows additional air flow over my legs. When both side-vents are open, there’s quite a bit of air movement through the bibs—enough to wick out any moisture or sweat as it’s produced. Finally, a pit zip makes it convenient to pee without peeling off my gloves, jacket, and bibs.

Pockets Pockets are a critical component on any ski pant. And not just to hold stuff like drinks, candy bars, and extra hand warmers, but also for more important safety items like an avalanche beacon. And fear not, for OR took both into consideration. The Hemispheres has two front pockets—one of which is specifically designed for a beacon (but happens to also fit a 12-ounce beer). The pouch has a stitched-in lanyard attachment, so I never have to worry about my beacon coming loose while carving powder turns, or worst-case-scenario, if I’m caught in an avalanche.

Overall Impression The Hemispheres II is a ski-touring specific bib, and it’s got all the features and design elements to flourish in the backcountry. After a handful of early-season ski tours, I can say with certainty that this bib has the versatility, comfort, and ventilation to handle all but the coldest, harshest days in the backcountry. For general use in southwest Montana, the Hemispheres have set the bar high—just mind Outdoor Research’s sizing guide closely if you’re in the market for a new pair of bibs.

Outdoor Research Hemispheres Bibs

The Outdoor Research Hemispheres Bib is an excellent snowsport pant. It was designed with backcountry touring in mind, but works well as an all-mountain pant, and is equally functional both on and off-piste. It has an extremely strong construction and fits me well, (I'm pretty skinny and there's still some room left in them, although this isn't a problem). The full Gore-Tex construction holds up to the brand's waterproof, all-weather protection claims and will keep the wearer dry even in pouring rain.

• Low profile for a bib (feels like a high-waisted pant)
• Torso pocket hard to access
• Silhouette is tighter around the crotch, baggier near the ankles. (This is a personal quibble about how it looks. For going uphill, this is actually a good thing, but style-wise it doesn't look too great.)

The Outdoor Research Hemispheres Bibs are premium, waterproof, backcountry-oriented snowsports pants for skiers and snowboarders. They're offered in both men's (S-XL) and women's (XS-XL) sizing. There is also a coordinating  Hemispheres Jacket  for men and women. 

I use the Hemispheres Bib as my only pant, both for park skiing and backcountry and sidecountry skiing. They definitely stand out as a touring bib, as they are extremely lightweight and breathable. I've been using them for about 100 days so far this season, and skiing at least three hours a day in them. This includes everything from -13°F waist-deep powder shredding, to 40-50°F days spent hiking park.

The Hemispheres Bibs (in men's medium) fit me pretty well. I'm relatively tall (5'11") and skinny (140 lbs), and they're definitely made for someone equally lanky, if not even more so. (The women's medium and men's large both have an inseam length of 32.5 inches / 82 cm.)

One issue that comes with the long legs, is that they tend to become extremely baggy around the ski boot. Also, adjusting the suspenders so the legs are less baggy, makes the crotch tighter and disappear beneath my jacket, giving the appearance of a long torso. This being said, I do wear a longer, baggier, freeride jacket ( Trew Powfunk ), and the sizing hasn't posed any actual problems of discomfort other than how it looks. When hiking, the looser cuffs allow for more freedom of movement, even when the gaiters are being used.

Adjustability

The bibs come with a pair of elastic suspenders that cross in the back and can be adjusted quite easily. They cannot be removed, and that makes sense since the entire bib portion of the pants wouldn't be able to support itself, even if a belt was being used.

Other than the suspenders, there's really no way to adjust the fit other than cuffing the ankles or using the belt loops around the waist. Considering there's a good amount of material above the waist, and suspenders to keep the pants up, a belt seems somewhat redundant and useless. 

Not being able to adjust the waist doesn't seem to cause any problems, other than there being a bit of a gap near the waist. If one chose to wear a belt, this would fix that, but the gap hasn't presented itself as a problem, and if insulation is a concern, then it can be fixed just as easily by putting on more layers.

Waterproofing and Resistance

The Hemispheres Bibs are made almost entirely of waterproof GORE-TEX Fabric with Stretch Technology , and that clearly shows. I've worn them skiing in pouring rain for multiple hours at a time and stayed completely dry. Snow, neither wet nor sugary nor powder, doesn't cause problems either. They also provide protection against wind, although when wet, they provide less protection from the wind.

If you do purchase these bibs, and it looks like water is soaking into the pants, don't worry, it's only wet on the outside. You will stay dry.

I also wore them my first time ice climbing and stayed dry.

Breathability and Moisture

Both legs have large zippered outer thigh vents running down the outside. On the left leg, the vent runs from hip to knee, and on the right, the leg can be unzipped from the top of the bib all the way down to the knee to accommodate the drop-seat feature (more on that below). Even without the vents, the pants are extremely comfortable, and my legs haven't gotten sweaty, even on warmer days (35°F +) when I've overlayered on the top and am sweating.

Layering and Warmth

As I mentioned above, I tend not to layer too heavily on my legs since they're the part of my body doing most of the work skiing, instead opting for a pair of sweatpants and nothing else. But despite that, my legs never seem to get cold. I'm not sure if this is a testament to how well the pants keep in warmth, even without insulation, or simply down to my legs just not getting cold, even down to -13°F when my torso and feet are near numb.

Where the bib really shines is when it comes to layering on the top. I tend to layer my bib with base layers underneath, followed by the bib and suspenders, with midlayers over the top. Unless I'm wearing nothing but base layers and the bib, I can hardly notice the extra fabric around my abdomen, and probably wouldn't at all if my phone, wallet, and keys weren't in the pocket. 

Construction and Durability

In addition to freeride skiing, I spend a decent amount of time skiing in the park, and no amount of use has done any noticeable damage to the pants. Even on my left hip, the side I hip slide boxes with, has no scuff marks at this point after four straight months of use.

Even more impressive is how well the ankle scuff guards have held up. I have the narrowest ski stance out of anyone I know, and the Kevlar in the scuff guards seems to do its job and protects itself from my other boot while skiing, and even the odd ski edge, again sustaining no damage.

I took them my first time ice climbing and the Kevlar cuffs sustained no damage from the sharp points. However, you can see a small cut below where I nicked the regular pant material above the scuff guards.

Features and Functionality

The Hemispheres Bibs have several features worth pointing out:

Pockets : The Hemispheres Bib has three main pockets. The torso pocket, which is the perfect size for all your personal items (phone, wallet, keys, snack, etc.), and the zipper pull is the same size as the pockets on the sides, meaning it can be opened with gloves when worn over clothing.

The two side pockets are massive. The right one has a beacon clip in it, and even with a beacon in it, has plenty of room to spare. I tend not to use the pockets, as they are so deep that any small item I might be carrying around the mountain would get lost in them, and I tend to put things like snacks in my smaller jacket pockets.

The deepness of the pockets is, in fact, a good thing for touring, as a full skin bag can be fitted into one pocket, with a beacon and any miscellaneous equipment in the other, this could allow for touring without a backpack. Obviously, skiing with large items in your pockets isn't going to be comfortable, but if you'd rather opt for no backpack, and/or maximum storage on all your items of clothing, then these pockets are perfect.

Vents : Both legs of the pants have long vents running the length of each leg. For touring, this is an excellent feature, since if someone finds themselves overheating, they have plenty of range to adjust the breathability. One downside is that there is no mesh lining or otherwise beneath the shell, meaning that when the pants are unzipped, anything can get into your pants, and worse, slide all the way down into your boot. Both sides have two zippers, so the vent can be opened any amount in any location along the leg.

Drop-Seat : Going to the bathroom in ski gear is typically pretty difficult, however, the addition of a drop-seat on both the men's and women's versions makes going #2 far easier. The right-hand side vent unzips all the way from the top of the bib to mid-calf and is secured at the top with a button. This allows for half the pant to swing away from your body, and if you're using a toilet, it can go to the other side. It is a little cold, and a backside panel with buttons would be more ideal, but it gets the job done.

FYI, OR is calling this detail a Swing Hatch for winter 2020-21, but it's the same design.

Stretch-Mesh Internal Gaiter with Power Strap Slot : The gaiter at the bottom of the legs is a pretty solid gaiter, and is, as a gaiter, more or less average. However, the gaiter has an internal slot to thread your ski boot's power/booster strap through and put on top of the gaiter as opposed to putting the gaiter on over the strap. I don't want to say this feature is useless, but it sort of is. I've used it a few times and haven't noticed any difference in how it feels to ski or any difference in how it feels. One way or another, your boot is strapped, and your gaiter is on, and the only difference it makes is how long it takes you to boot/unboot.

Stretch back and gusset panels : The pants come with flexible Gore-Tex panels on the lower back and crotch. These panels allow for greater mobility and comfort while using the pants. Both panels are very comfortable and do allow for a noticeable increase in flexibility to the pants. Both panels, while looking much softer than the rest of the hardshell Gore-Tex, are just as waterproof, since they are also a Gore-Tex material blend.

For the most part, all of the pockets and hidden features of the Hemispheres Bibs work very well. The vents and hip pockets have beefy enough zippers to be opened with gloves on (I wear a pair of insulated Kinco gloves), and the avalanche beacon clip in the right pocket is also the perfect size and placement to put a ski pass on if you don't have the need for a beacon. 

While the Hemispheres Bibs are an all-around excellent pair of pants, there are a few drawbacks, particularly the fly zipper and bib. For starters, the fly zipper is extremely hard to use because of its very small size and the zipper tab's tendency to get stuck in the folds of fabric at the top of the fly. Also, it is a very small zipper, and if someone wished to use the bathroom while out in the woods they'd have to remove their gloves to undo the zipper.

The bib is an excellent addition to the pant, and the pocket is nice to have and is large enough to fit all your valuables in (phone, wallet, keys, etc.) However, the low cut of the bib places the torso pocket in an awkward place. While it is easy to use without lots of layers on over the top, or in warmer conditions with only a sweatshirt to pair with it, the bib becomes hard to use while on the mountain. The low cut profile of the actual torso portion makes the "bibs" feel more like a high-waisted pant than an actual bib-style pant, and if you want to access the pocket when fully bundled up, you either have to almost completely unzip your layers, or come up from the bottom, causing your other clothes to bunch up.

If the torso section was a bit longer, this problem could be avoided. Then to access the pocket, all one would have to do would be to unzip their jacket and midlayers about a quarter of the way, get to the pocket without exposing themselves to the elements too much, and zip back up. Personally, I feel it would be better if Outdoor Research made both a Hemispheres Pant, with a medium to high waistline, around where the belt loops are currently, and a remodeled Hemispheres Bib with the mid to upper torso height of most traditional bibs. (OR reports that they have no plans for a pant version at this time though.)

Overall, the Outdoor Research Hemispheres Bib is a good pair of pants that is very versatile and packed full of different features. I would personally recommend them as a touring pant, although they can be used as an everyday ski pant. The Hemispheres Bibs are available in both men's and women's versions, plus there is a corresponding Hemispheres Jacket for men and women.

I've used the Outdoor Research Hemispheres Bibs for about 100 days so far this season, and have used them for at least three hours a day, sometimes for as much as six, so they've gotten a fair amount of time on the hill. As such, they have dealt with all sorts of Ice Coast weather, everything from snow to pouring and freezing rain and everything in between has been thrown at these pants, and they've held up really well. I even brought them to Alaska in January and they worked quite well in -13°F weather and waist-deep powder. I also brought them ice climbing once. I plan to use them for some spring ski touring and will update this review after those experiences.

Product Description

Our Story Starts with Ron Gregg

Outdoor Research founder Ron Gregg was a nuclear physicist who spent as much time as possible exploring the edges of the map. He referred to the outdoors as The Big Office, taking his work and research into the backcountry as often as possible.

In 1980, Ron 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. 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.

Outdoor Research was born from Ron’s research-led approach to problem solving. He believed that the Research Method could be applied to solve the outdoor’s biggest challenges. Today, we carry that ethos forward.

Trees are a key element of urban green infrastructure (UGI). They supply a wide range of benefits—ecosystem services—from air purification to places for recreation. UGI is also an expenditure item in the budget due to the investments required for its establishment and maintenance. Accounting for ecosystem services in monetary terms allows considering direct and indirect benefits of green spaces together with costs, has not only implications for decision-making but also could be instrumental in changing landowners’ perceptions of UGI and its importance. In this paper, we used the data from advanced tree monitoring technologies to compare monetary values of regulating ecosystem services to maintenance costs for the case of campus of the People’s Friendship University of Russia (RUDN) in Moscow, Russia. Inventories of UGI elements were conducted by means of a field survey and remote sensing, that resulted in GIS project in GreenSpaces software. The same program was used to keep track of costs of the different types of maintenance work based on information from Greening Department of RUDN. Biophysical parameters of tree functioning were obtained from more than 60 TreeTalker sensors installed on the major species during the two years. The monetary value of four major regulating ecosystem services (air purification, climate regulation, water transpiration, carbon sequestration) of the trees was then assessed, allowing a comparison of the costs for maintenance and some of the benefits derived. The results show that even when considering just monetary value from regulating services, it outweighs the costs for maintenance of the UGI in the amount of 1.5 million rubles or about a quarter of the costs.
