Solid British brand whose clothing background traditionally comes from climbing and mountain expeditions but has branched out into the skiing arena in recent years.

Company History

Mountain Equipment specialise mainly in climbing jackets and, having been involved in over 100 Everest expeditions, it's not hard to realise why. Originating in the UK back in 1961 they have enhanced their expertise by working closely over the years with many of the world's top climbers and mountain adventurers. They've also provided clothing for many trips to both the North and South Poles. Recent years has seen them branch out into the design and manufacture of ski jackets. The brand is part of the Outdoor and Sports Company (OSC) Ltd group, which also features the Ron Hill brand.


Style

Mountain Equipment's clothing is definitely designed with functionality in mind, rather than trying to compete with the likes of Moncler or Bognor in the on-piste fashion stakes.


Performance

Is this stuff weatherproof ? Oh yes. You don't your equipment used in hundreds of expeditions to some of the world's highest mountains, or to the North and South Poles unless it's really well made and designed. Mountain Equipment have become experts in their field by working closely with some of the world's top climbers and mountain adventurers, so rest assured if you buy their stuff you can expect it to keep you warm, dry and comfortable.


Pricing

The price range for a Mountain Equipment jacket mainly comes in at around £100 to £150.
