Mountain Equipment Co-op (MEC) is a thriving retail co-op that sells gear and clothing for outdoor adventures exclusively to members. Our members get the best products at fair prices, access to rental gear, one of the best guarantees around, and 1% of every sale goes to support the outdoor community. We outfit our members for every outdoor adventure: from climbing, hiking and camping to snow sports, water sports, cycling and yoga. But we offer more than products: we peddle passion. Regardless of a member`s level of activity or experience, we love to share our expertise and enthusiasm to connect people with quality products that inspire active outdoor lifestyles. If you want to know what it`s like working here, we also encourage each other to get moving. To get out the front door. Take the plunge. Try something new like riding in a Fondo, bouldering or paddle boarding. MEC is a place where ideas spark and a craving to play outside gets stoked.
