4. Autonomy and Independence

5. Education, Training, and Information

6. Co-operation among Co-operatives

7. Concern for Community

MEC is a successful Canadian consumer co-operative; our

members like the fact that we aren’t about profits – we’re all

about providing our shareholders with the best value on the

gear we buy while still being leaders in environmental and

social responsibility.

But co-operatives do many things, in many countries.

Co-operatives in developing countries play a crucial role in

improving their members’ lives. For example, in Banikoara,

Benin, West Africa small producers (peasant farmers, livestock

raisers, and artisans) established a rural development

co-operative, ACOODER, which has made a large difference

to life in Banikoara.

ACOODER opened a pharmaceutical store that sells generic

medicine at wholesale prices. They also started a central store

for consumer goods and building materials. In addition, they

built water reservoirs, upgraded the local roads, hired a surgeon

for the local clinic, and encouraged education by giving a

motorbike to each student who successfully completed the

baccalaureate exam. All of these benefits are financed by

ACOODER’s core business: operating its consumer stores, coffee

bars, and gas stations.

Check out the website of the International Co-operative Alliance

under “development” for more examples of why you can be

proud to be part of the co-operative movement.

SARA GOLLING

It’s a Co-operative Effort!

Acronyms and nicknames abound. Mountain Equipment

Co-operative becomes MEC – pronounced either “emmy-sea”

or “meck” – and many people lose sight of a fundamental truth

about this organization: we are a co-operative.

What exactly is a co-operative? The short answer: a group of

people who have pooled their resources to achieve something

they could not achieve as individuals. (MEC has developed

into quite a large group. Since 1971, over two million of us have

chosen to purchase a share to become members.) A more

complete definition has been developed by the International

Co-operative Alliance: a co-operative is an autonomous

association of persons united voluntarily to meet their common

economic, social, and cultural needs and aspirations through a

jointly-owned and democratically-controlled enterprise.

Jointly owned? Yes, you and all the other members of MEC own

MEC. The $5 share each of us bought to join, plus any other

shares we have acquired in our accounts by buying gear at MEC,

represent the resources we have pooled to create MEC. Your

shares also represent the value of your ownership in MEC.

Democratically controlled? Yes, members have the right to

vote in elections of MEC’s Board of Directors. You choose the

members who govern MEC.

United voluntarily? Yes, no one is forced to join MEC; there are

other places to buy gear.

Co-operatives are based on values of self-help, self-responsibility,

democracy, equality, equity, and solidarity. They uphold the

ethical values of honesty, openness, social responsibility, and

caring for others.

To put all this into practice, co-operatives are guided by seven

principles adopted by the international co-operative community:

NEWS FROM YOUR BOARD

Call for Nominations

Are you passionate about MEC?

Would you like to contribute

to its future direction? Do you

have experience – in finance,

co-operative businesses,

governance, organizational

development, or social and

environmental responsibility

– that could benefit MEC?

Do you have spare time (30

to 40 hours per month) to

give to the Co-op? Are you an

outdoor enthusiast who relishes

self-propelled adventures and

believes in a healthy planet?

If you answered yes to some

or all of these questions, you

might consider standing for

election to MEC’s Board of

Directors. The Board benefits

from having new directors who

are committed to providing

strong and dynamic leadership

to Canada’s largest retail

co-operative.

For election details and

eligibility requirements, see

www.mec.ca/nominations

or call 604.707.3367.

The nomination deadline for

the 2006 Board of Directors

Election is noon Pacific Time,

Friday, October 7, 2005.

For example, we’ve discussed holding

sponsored hikes, ski trips, and events to get

members outdoors and primed for follow-up

“fire-side chats.” These sessions would enable

members to share stories of MEC’s past,

consider the challenges and opportunities we

face today, and dream aloud about possibilities

for the future. Members’ ideas and insights

would be fed into our database along with the

other information we’ve collected.

We want to examine the future with all its

challenges and possibilities, so we can chart a

distinctive path forward that is uniquely ours.

We want to ensure that MEC values drive our

future, so we are able to embrace exciting

and high-quality products and services at

fair prices, and deepen our commitment to

social and environmental responsibility. All the

while, we need to ensure the financial health

of the Co-op to enable us to continue to serve

members and follow our desired path forward.

To register your interest in the MEC Futures

Project, please email your contact information

to [email protected]. We want members to be

involved in this adventure from the start and we

sincerely believe that it will be a worthwhile trip.

COLIN K. CAMPBELL

Chair, MEC Futures Committee

Charting MEC’s Future

Things are looking good for MEC. The new

three-year strategic plan is rolling out. Sales

are strong. A Social Compliance Manager has

been hired to strengthen the Ethical Sourcing

Program. The Community Involvement Program

has been improved. And new stores have been

opened to better serve MEC members.

The Board of Directors is proud of these

accomplishments. We recognize, however,

that we must not take our present success for

granted. We need to look beyond the short

term to ensure that MEC remains a relevant

and prosperous outdoor retail co-operative

that provides its unique brand of leadership in

an ever-changing world. To meet these goals,

your directors recently established a Futures

Committee. The committee is planning the

MEC Futures Project, which will be officially

launched early in 2006.

To prepare for the project launch, we are

exploring ways to understand future trends,

investigating different methods of conducting

future studies, and reviewing previous research

done by MEC. Most important, we’re also

determining the best way to capture members’

ideas – your ideas – about MEC’s future.

“ We’re lucky here in the Kootenays. Skiing is a lifestyle; it’s part

of our day-to-day lives. In the city, people meet in a pub after work,

or sit in traffi c, or whatever. We meet in the mountains, rip it up for

a couple of hours, and head home. ”

Why soft shells?

In a word – versatility. Soft shells offer

a unique combination of breathability,

durability, stretchiness, and weather

resistance. The result? Garments that

deliver the greatest amount of comfort

across a broad range of conditions.

A single soft shell garment can replace

an inner/insulating layer and outer hard

shell layer. There’s no need to “peel”

when hot or “layer” when cold – soft

shells smooth out the spikes and dips

in body temperature due to vigorous

exercise or weather changes.

However, if you are planning an

extended expedition, or anticipating

exceptionally wet conditions, you

should pack your waterproof-

breathable shell jacket as well. The

bottom line? Soft shells help you stay

comfortable, so you stay focused

and motivated. Wherever, whenever,

in almost any weather.

A jacket is a jacket, right? Wrong. A great jacket offers the

ideal combination of fi t, fabric, and

features designed to meet your

specifi c needs.

Snowshoe selection guide

Sara’s been there

“If you snowshoe downhill as well as

uphill, pick a snowshoe with enough

fl otation in front of your toes, or the

front of the snowshoe will dive as you

descend. If you’ll be in soft deep powder,

get larger snowshoes than recommended

for your size, or you’ll be post-holing

instead of fl oating.”

“ The day after the

competition, I was having fun

climbing with my husband and

our friends. The ice can be a

little funky since it’s farmed.

Plus where I was climbing,

it was a little steeper than it

looked. All in all it was a fun

lead though. ”

Alexis has been there

“When you’re climbing in cooler weather,

low-cut synthetic or down booties are

great for camp use, and double as foot

warmers over your climbing shoes when

belaying or hanging around the crag. The

low cut makes them easy to put on. The

booties are light and compact enough to

toss in your pack.”

“ I think many cyclists struggle

with the fact that motorists

tend not to acknowledge our

presence on the streets. Either

they truly don’t see us or

they just choose to ignore us.

Accidents can be avoided by

safe drivers and by safe cyclists

wearing safe gear. ”

In two decades of mountaineering,

Dave Sarkany’s had his share of high

adventure and low comedy. Through his

fi lms, he brings you along for the ride.

Dave knows that fi lmmaking is as much

about knowing what to leave out as what

to leave in. The same goes for making

outdoor equipment. So when he came

to us with a suggestion for a pared-

down version of the MEC Lightfi eld Tent,

we listened. In fact, we were already

working along the same lines.

Dave was a long-time fan of his

Lightfi eld. But we all agreed more —

or less — could be done with it.

Why not shave away one entrance and

vestibule, saving the weight of yards

of fabric and an entire pole without

sacrifi cing storm-worthiness?

IT’S ABOUT MAKING THE RIGHT CUTS…

The prototype was dubbed the TGV

(“tay-jay-vay”) for its resemblance to

the streamlined French train. Dave

subjected it to months in the fi eld and

countless snowstorms — a lifetime of

typical use compressed into a single

season. He found it smaller, lighter,

and simpler to set up, all features which

appeal equally to Zen philosophers

and tired mountaineers. That was the

origin of the TGV you can buy today.

Dave’s already out there with the next

generation of the TGV, testing new poles,

fabrics, and construction techniques.

So by the time any MEC-brand product

reaches your hands, it’s been designed

and tested to perform. That’s what

makes our gear a cut above.

Read the tale of the TGV:

Net benefits

Besides immediate threats to sanity and

sleep, flies and mosquitoes can pose

longer-term threats to health. In tropical

climes, mosquitoes may transmit

malaria or the West Nile virus. (While

it’s also present in Canada, West Nile

remains relatively rare here.)

During the day, you can regularly

reapply insect repellent to keep the

bugs at bay. But most folks are reluctant

to saturate their skin with chemicals

around the clock. Besides, repellents

don’t stop exploratory landing attempts,

with the accompanying, sleep-robbing

whines in your ear. That’s why most

travellers opt for some kind of bug-

blocking net shelter for sleeping.

Bug netting comes in two tightnesses

of weave. The tighter weave stops flies,

mosquitoes, and even tiny no-see-

ums. Often referred to as “no-see-um

netting” for this very reason, it is used

in most tents intended for temperate

climes. On warm nights when rain is no

threat, campers can leave the outer fly

off their tent to maximize ventilation

while still thwarting bugs.

However, on hot, windless nights in the

tropics, a fabric and tight-net inner tent

may feel warm and suffocating. In these

situations, you’ll be more comfortable

in an all-net shelter with a looser, more

open weave. This mesh won’t stop

no-see-ums (which aren’t much of a

problem in most tropical areas anyway),

but it will block flies and mosquitoes,

while letting you breathe easier.

Kaleb has been there

“When I am winter camping I always

bring a metal avalanche shovel. It’s very

useful for building seats, to use as a seat,

or to make a quinzhee. A metal shovel is

also better than a plastic one, because

you can put your stove on the shovel

when you are done cooking, and it

won’t melt a hole in your shovel.”

“ I wanted to experience the Boreal winter at its peak and see

the migrating caribou in their natural environment. It was very

cold. I think maybe -50 or -60°C with the wind. In these conditions

you must be so careful. I love the isolation, but a small mistake can

become very dangerous. ”

ATR = Active Temperature Rating. See page 62 for details.



Choosing the right

winter boots

The fi rst step in selecting the best

boots is knowing when and where

you’ll be wearing them the majority

of the time.

For lower-output activities in colder

temperatures choose thickly insulated,

calf-high boots. These often have a

slightly looser fi t that promotes good

circulation and leaves room for add-

itional sock layers. Removable liners

are a great feature to consider and are

particularly suited to multi-day trips.

For more vigorous winter adventures

consider full lace-up, lower-cut boots

with less insulation. Matching a lower-

cut boot with a pair of gaiters will

protect your lower legs and feet from

deep snow or slush. More athletically

oriented boots feel less clumsy to walk

in, and are a good bet for day trips

and warmer temperatures.

Active Temperature Ratings (ATR)

It’s important to note that the ATR is

not the lowest temperature at which

a given boot will keep your feet

comfortable. Rather, it’s an indication

of the boot’s ability to keep your feet

warm when you are active. As a good

rule of thumb, if your feet tend to get

cold, choose boots that are rated for

lower temperatures than those you’ll

actually encounter.

Marie-Claude has been there

“Long trips over rocky terrain will

eventually wear out the straps on

the bottom on your gaiters. Protect

them by sliding small pieces of tubular

webbing over the straps. Melt the ends

a bit so it doesn’t unravel, slide it on,

and just cinch it in place.”

PERFORMANCE BY DESIGN

Did you know we design all MEC-brand gear

here at MEC? That’s right. We design it,

build the prototypes, and test them in the

lab and in the field. But we don’t just make

new products for the heck of it. Nope.

We do our homework first. We talk to

members, staff, outdoor professionals, and

enthusiasts from all walks of life. We go to

trade shows, festivals, races, and all sorts of

outdoor events to get ideas for new gear.

And we take the prototypes on our own trips,

just to make sure they’re totally dialed.

Every new product is designed to fulfil a

specific need, and performance is always our

first priority. Sure, we want the gear to look

cool too, but we never sacrifice function for

fashion. Ever. Some folks around here call

this our design discipline. Not in a “you’ve

been bad” way, but as a way to describe our

ability to stay focussed on function. We know

we’ve got it right when our members tell

us “hey, this stuff really works.” In fact,

that really sums it up perfectly. Our goal is

to design products that really work.

Favourite forest trails: Canmore, Alberta

Winter running technique: get going before the cold gets a grip.

“ I jump out the front door

and start running immediately

to warm up quickly. By the

time I hop onto the forest trails

I am warm, relaxed, and revel

in the solitude and silence of

winter running, hearing only

the moist snow creaking under

my feet and the steady rhythm

of my breath. ”

Most memorable encounter:a big black bear

Clothing Insulations

Down FillsNothing beats down for lightness,

compactability, and durability. It

moulds to your body to prevent cold

voids, and absorbs transpired moisture

to increase your comfort. MEC uses

three grades of down: 550 fi ll-power

goose down that is Canadian-

processed, 575 fi ll-power Taiwanese-

processed duck down that offers the

benefi ts of down at very affordable

prices, and 700 fi ll-power premium-

quality Canadian-sourced goose down

that delivers excellent warmth and

outstanding loft with minimal weight

and packed size.

Synthetic FillsViable, sometimes preferable,

alternatives to down. Synthetic

insulations have a lower initial cost,

are non-allergenic, dry readily, and still

provide warmth when wet. They are

basically extruded polyester fi bres that

are bonded into a heat-trapping lattice

of short and long pieces. The newest

technologies provide light, compact

insulation that offers good value

without signifi cant compromise.

PrimaLoft® PL1 is close to down in

lightness, compactability, and softness.

It is specially treated to resist moisture

penetration, and retains most of its

insulating value when wet.

Hyperloft is MEC’s proprietary

synthetic insulation. It strikes a fi ne

balance between weight, warmth,

durability, and value.

Don’t despair – repair Gear casualties are part of the ongoing

battle between your clothes and the

outdoors. But don’t worry – most

damaged goods can easily be repaired.

“Not only does a fl eece provide you

with a layer of warmth, but it can double

as a pillow, pajamas, extra padding for

the waistbelt or backpad of your pack,

a towel, a water-bottle cozy, or a

“When travelling abroad, consider a

circular route. That way you can leave

your passport and plane tickets in the

safe of your fi rst hotel and travel with

copies of both. On completion of your

trip, book your last night in the same

hotel, pick up your papers, and head

home. Simple, worry-free travel.”

Underwear fabrics and construction

Malden Mills® Polartec® Power Dry®

features a bi-component polyester

construction that draws moisture off

the skin and disperses it on the outer

surface for quick evaporation. We

use several versions of Power Dry,

all featuring an odour-minimizing

antimicrobial treatment.

New Silkweight Power Dry®

is designed to manage moisture

for improved comfort. Its special knit

provides superior stretch that allows

a sleeker fi t for improved wicking,

increased range of motion, and

bunch-free layering. It’s suited to

cool summer evenings or early fall

day trips. 100% polyester.

Midweight Power Dry® takes you into

winter. It provides more warmth, while

still wicking effectively. 98% polyester,

2% spandex.

New Expedition Weight Power Dry®

has got you covered for winter

mountaineering and Arctic odysseys.

Expedition 3 Underwear is made of a

special version that features voided-

grid construction: insulation-free

channels across the fabric’s inside face

that trap air for greater warmth and

increased breathability. The fabric’s

improved stretch allows a tailored

fi t that further improves insulation

and layering performance without

impeding mobility. 98% polyester,

2% spandex.

Merino insulates against cold and heat,

very pleasant when you’re moving

through a multitude of microclimates.

It can absorb many times its own

weight in water and still continue to

insulate. It’s most comfortable on day

trips or hut-to-hut trips where you can

dry it each night. Soft merino bears

little resemblance to the itchy wool

your grandparents endured.

100% merino.

Seamless underwear is made of a

stretchy Tactel® nylon-spandex knit

that virtually eliminates seams, and

slips unnoticeably beneath tights,

long johns, or regular pants. It’s not

superb at wicking moisture, so it’s best

suited to moderately active day trips.

96% nylon, 4% spandex.

Naomi’s been there

“Whether my kids are on the playground

or the trails, I want them to be safe.

Clothing I look for: hoods that move

with a child’s head, so they can see

their surroundings, not the inside of the

hood. Minimal (non-functional) gadgetry,

so they don’t get caught on things.

Refl ective, so they can be seen.”

FINDING YOUR SIZE

I E

Adult Sizing Please take the time to

measure yourself first before ordering. The

measurements shown for each size refer to

body dimensions.

Kids’ Sizing Please measure your child, rather

than relying on their age for sizing.

A. Arms Bend elbow gently, then measure from

centre of back of neck out to point of shoulder,

down to back of elbow, and forward to wrist.

B. Chest/Bust Measure fullest circumference,

keeping tape up under arms and around

shoulder blades.

C. Hands (knuckle circumference) Measure

around a flat hand at the knuckles; do not

include your thumb. Also measure hand length

from the base of palm to end of middle finger.

Use the larger of the two measurements to

select your glove size.

D. Head Measure circumference above brow

ridges and above ears.

E. Height Stand with back straight; measure

from highest point on head to floor.

F. Hips Stand with feet together and measure at

fullest circumference.

G. Inseam Measure inner leg from crotch to

below the ankle bone.

H. Neck Measure circumference at base of neck.

I. Waist Measure at narrowest circumference.

Tall + Petite Sizes For TALL SIZES add 2” (5cm)

to inseam, arms, and the overall length. For

PETITE SIZES subtract 1.5” (4cm) from inseam,

arms, and the overall length.

Shrinkage All MEC garments have been sized

to accommodate any shrinkage that may

occur. Cotton garments have been pre-washed.

For best performance, please follow the care

instructions sewn into each garment.

Boot Fitting It is best to buy boots in person.

If you cannot reach one of the MEC retail

stores, we will do our best to fit you by mail.

Please include your shoe size. You may need a

larger size if you hike in thick socks. We cannot

guarantee a boot’s fit when ordered by phone,

mail, fax, or web. You can return/exchange

boots that have not been worn. For more

information, please phone the Service Centre.

approved a variety of initiatives that refl ect

MEC’s culture and values. These include our

Sourcing Policy, Environment Fund, and

Green Building Program. The Board takes its

Directors’ positions become vacant, and

MEC member-owners elect new Directors

for a three-year term. To fi nd out more, see

go missing, leaving no current address.

You can help end the tragedy and

waste of undeliverable catalogues, the

heartache of uncashed share redemption

cheques, the misery of unreceived

product warranty or recall notices, and

the crime of a co-op unable to reach its

members with election packages and

other essential information.
