Since Mountain Equipment began in 1961, we have participated in countless ascents of the world’s highest peaks, supported climbers establishing ever more adventurous routes and equipped record setting trips to both Poles.
We have been making gear for the most inhospitable places on the planet for over 60 years. You learn a lot in that time. And all that we have learned lives in our gear.
Finding Balance.
Committed to sustainability, designed for year-round mountain use. The new range of Mountain Equipment waterproof shells utilises the latest PFC-free GORE-TEX fabric technology for durable waterproof, windproof and breathable protection, and comfort. These products embody a commitment to reducing impact whilst remaining steadfast on high performance, no matter the conditions.
Revere your gear.
Our products are built to last, they are built to be used. Our most beloved gear often takes the most punishment. Every scuff, and mark is not simply wear and tear, but a story and a statement.
Mountain Equipment Guarantee.
Everything we make is fully guaranteed to the original purchaser against defects in components, materials, and workmanship for the reasonable life of the product. If the product is found to be defective, we will repair or replace it free of charge.
