About Mountain Equipment
Above & Beyond since 1961 Five decades of equipping expeditions for the harshest conditions on earth We've participated in every British first ascent of an 8000m peak, been part of more than 175 Everest summits by International Mountain Guides and Sherpas and equipped unsupported trips to the North and South Poles.

We design, test and build our gear with passion and commitment. We use it ourselves, and we work closely with outdoor professionals to help us perfect our products. Our Pro Partners are some of the most talented and ambitious climbers, mountaineers and polar expeditionists in the world; people at the cutting edge who need gear they can trust completely.

More about Mountain Equipment
Introducing DOWN CODEX® from Mountain Equipment
Since 2009, DOWN CODEX® has led the way in ethical down sourcing, eliminating practices like live-plucking and force-feeding. Adhering to the Responsible Down Standard (RDS), we ensure high-quality virgin down, and our “Trace My Down” feature offers transparency on the down's origins in Mountain Equipment products.
History
Since 1961, Mountain Equipment has witnessed remarkable progress in climbing and mountaineering. To mark our 50th anniversary, we created a film featuring insights from leading mountaineers and rare archive footage, showcasing the last five decades in the mountains.
Product Development
Mountain Equipment began designing and manufacturing GORE-TEX jackets in 1977 with the launch of our Cascade Jacket; that same year Apple launched the Series II, its first home computer. Just as technology has moved on so have our jackets, a constant but gradual and iterative process but one which pays dividends when you're out in the mountains.
