Travel Gear



» Mountain Equipment CO-OP
Their words: “MEC is Canada's largest supplier of quality outdoor equipment. With more than two million members in 192 countries, we're a vibrant retail co-operative. We have stores across Canada, as well as a comprehensive web store and phone/mail order service.” A great place to look for and buy all kind of travel gear.

» Vango
“It's now nearly 40 years (big birthday party coming up) since we started designing, testing and producing gear for the outdoors. Vango started out purely making tents, for a variety of uses, but are now in our 28th year in sleeping bags, rucksacks and camping accessories.” I would definitely recommend their rucksacks.

» Lowepro
If you're carrying professional photo equipment, these guys are your best bet.

» Haglöfs
Canīt say it any better then themselves: “Outstanding outdoor equipment”. I love Haglöfs!

» Columbia Sportswear Company
One of the classic brands in the travel gear industry.

» The North Face
Another well-known brand with great travel equipment.

» Solo Climb
If you understand Spanish, check this alternative to Gore-Tex travel clothes.

» Havaianas
If you find anything better for your feet, please let me know!

» Mountain Safety Research
You need a travel towel, right? These are the famous Packtowl guys. And yes, they have other travel accessories as well.

» Pac-Safe
You've heard about Pac-Safe but, do you really need it? In case you answered “yes”, here's the place to visit. A company focused on travel security.

» Petzl
If you're looking for a headlamp this is the right place.

» SIGG
Bottles, bottles, bottles. A Swiss company.
