About MEC
Mountain Equipment Co-op (MEC) is Canada’s leading supplier of quality outdoor gear, clothing and camping equipment. MEC was conceived by a small group of Canadian climbers who wanted a place to buy gear not carried by conventional retailers: gear for mountaineering, rock climbing, ski touring, and hiking. In August 1971, these six initial members founded Mountain Equipment Co-op. Today MEC supplies outdoor equipment to over 5 million members worldwide.
