It's not our job to try to tell people why they go to the wild places and mountains. It’s our job to make the very best gear in the world.
Turning Waste Into Warmth
Following on from the introduction of our own Down Codex® project, Mountain Equipment is now introducing Down Cycle. Starting with the introduction of clothing and sleeping bags made from 100% recycled down our ultimate aim is to introduce a fully closed loop recycling system for down clothing and equipment and to eliminate the need for unwanted products or those at the end of their useable life being sent to landfill.


A committed approach
Since Mountain Equipment began in 1961 we have participated in countless ascents of the world’s highest peaks, and equipped world record setting trips to the North and South Poles.
We have been making gear for the most inhospitable places on the planet for over 50 years. You learn a lot here. And all we have learned, lives in our gear.
