At Mountain Equipment Co-op, it's about the gear and a whole lot more. We're a community of people from every walk of life and every age group who, like you, share a passion for the outdoors.
This passion propels us up snowy mountains, over distant trails, and down remote waterways in search of adventure and the pristine solitude of nature.
Welcome to this strong and vibrant community of over two million people committed to the planet, its people and to paths less travelled.
Gear is at the core of who we are.

All our products – and our advice – are backed by our Rock Solid Guarantee. If anything fails to meet your expectations, bring it back for a no-hassle refund, exchange, credit or repair.
We're committed to sustainability, from reducing the ecological footprint of our business to providing support to Canadian conservation and outdoor recreation groups.
