About Immersion Research

Immersion Research started in 1997 on a home sewing machine in a basement, and before too long they were running a small sewing factory in a renovated high school. Since then, IR has grown a lot, and now works with great factories all over the world. Now, a time-trusted industry leader in paddlesports producing the highest quality technical outerwear and gear for paddlers, by paddlers. They’ve never forgotten where they came from, nor have lost passion for making great gear; IR continues to produce small batches of experimental gear, completely in-house in Hood River, Oregon.

Immersion Research offers a lifetime guarantee on materials and construction of all IR garments. Latex gaskets are covered 100% for one year after purchase. We also offer free repairs for one year from the date of purchase. Typically, you can expect latex gaskets and fabric feet to last about two seasons. Your mileage may vary depending on usage and care. We can also repair almost all normal wear and tear at a very nominal cost. We know that defining "normal wear and tear" can be a little subjective, and if you want to know more, we will encourage you to research IR's customer service reputation – it's second to none.
