2. Democratic Member Control
3. Member Economic Participation
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. ”

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.

“Long trips over rocky terrain will
eventually wear out the straps on

them by sliding small pieces of tubular

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. ”

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.

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.
