Oregon Ducks Technical Outerwear

It depends on the month. September games at Autzen can be warm and sunny. The Cool One UPF Pullover keeps you comfortable with patented cooling fabric and sun protection. By mid-October, the rain moves in and doesn’t leave until spring. That’s Dry One territory, a Toray three-layer waterproof shell that’ll keep you dry through four quarters of sideways Eugene rain. For the late-November cold, the Warm One is a PrimaLoft-insulated jacket with four hand warmer pockets that wears like a hoodie. Or layer the Warm One under the Dry One when it’s cold and wet. They’re built to work as a system.

Actually waterproof. Not water-resistant, not “repels light rain.” The Dry One uses a Toray three-layer waterproof breathable membrane rated at 20,000mm/10,000g, the same spec you’d find on a premium ski shell or a high-end fishing jacket. Every seam is sealed with waterproofing tape. The zippers are YKK AquaGuard, which block water at every entry point. We’ve tested it through full games in sustained Pacific Northwest downpours. It doesn’t leak.

Three conditions, three jackets. The Dry One is a waterproof shell. It blocks rain and wind but isn’t insulated. Think ski shell. The Warm One is an insulated jacket, PrimaLoft Gold Active+ fill that traps heat without bulk. Think technical puffer with water repellency. The Cool One is a UPF sun layer with patented brrr° cooling fabric. It actually lowers skin temperature on contact. Think sun hoodie, but engineered. Each one is built for a specific Oregon weather condition. They also layer together. Warm One under Dry One is the cold-rain combination that gets you through a November night game.

Different product entirely. Most Oregon jackets use basic materials and construction. They’re fine for what they are. BCKR uses elite Toray fabrics and waterproof membranes, PrimaLoft insulation, YKK AquaGuard zippers, and brrr° cooling fabrics. These are the same materials in a $500 ski shell or a $400 fishing jacket. You’ve just never seen them in Oregon green before. The best comparison isn’t a $60 fan hoodie. It’s an Arc’teryx or Kuiu or Simms jacket that happens to come in Oregon’s exact Pantone colors.

All BCKR jackets use unisex sizing ranging from XXS to 3XL. Women typically go down one size. A Men’s/Unisex Small fits like a Women’s Medium. A lot of our customers are women, and the fit feedback has been great. Women’s-specific cuts are on our roadmap. We don’t currently offer kids’ sizes.

Heck no! BCKR gear is built for the Pacific Northwest. The Dry One is built identically to a premium outdoor shell. People wear it hiking, skiing, fishing, biking, and traveling. The Warm One is a legitimate insulated jacket, not a costume. The Cool One is a real UPF sun layer for the golf course, the boat, or a hot day on the river. The colors are Oregon green, gray, and black. The construction is premium outdoor. We built this gear so your team jacket could also be the best jacket you own, not something that sits in your closet between Saturdays.

First off, we love the interlocking UO. That was the mark on the side of the helmet for Terry Obie’s end around, Musgrave to Ferry, and Kenny Wheaton’s world rocker, our Duck founder’s childhood memories. But the reason we don’t use the O, which we also love, is because we can’t. There’s a company up in Beaverton who has exclusive rights to use that logo on apparel and footwear.

Yes. Every Oregon Ducks product is officially licensed through the University of Oregon. The logos, colors, and trademarks are all authorized. We use exact Pantone color matching, not approximations, for every piece. We also donate 10% of Oregon product sales to the UO Foundation. Our founder Corey grew up in Eugene and is an Oregon alum. This isn’t a brand that licensed some logos. It’s a brand built by Ducks.

We’re an independent brand, no corporate parent, no Super Bowl ads yet. We were founded by outdoor industry veterans, including the team that helped scale YETI from a regional cooler company into a global brand. We’re based in Austin, we ship every order ourselves, and we include a handwritten note in every package. We started BCKR because we’d spent careers building elite outdoor products and couldn’t find a single team jacket that was actually waterproof. So we made one. And then we made a whole system. You’re hearing about us now because the word is getting out.
