Mountain Equipment Himal

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.

Whether you're on expedition to the Himalaya or learning the ropes in North Wales, you can be safe in the knowledge that your Mountain Equipment gear is proven to perform. 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. Watch our film to find out more about the journey that our partners have taken Mountain Equipment on since we began back in 1961.
