MEC is great. Besides the fact that I never remember to bring my membership card with me.

Their clearance sales are always a great deal, they carry everything from socks to kayaks. I have purchase plenty here over the past 2 years. The tent I have is an entry level 2 person tent that has treated me very well on numerous overnight hikes up and down around the whistler area.

I purchased a sleeping bag as well and was thrilled with the selection they offer - being mildly allergic to down, they offer synthetic materials that more than met my needs for warmth.

Shoes, shirts, coats - all are top of the line. I buy these products because I know they will last.

The advice I receive from the associates in the store is always honest and very helpful; most of the employees have extensive outdoors experience and know their products well. On my most recent trip, I was talked OUT of buying a product because it did not meet the reps personal standards of satisfaction.

Very impressed with the location - will definitely continue to shop here.
