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 arent about prots were 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 benets are nanced by
ACOODERs 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
Its 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 denition 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 MECs 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:

environmental responsibility
that could benet MEC?

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

or call 604.707.3367.
The nomination deadline for
the 2006 Board of Directors
Election is noon Pacic Time,
Friday, October 7, 2005.
For example, weve discussed holding
sponsored hikes, ski trips, and events to get
members outdoors and primed for follow-up
re-side chats. These sessions would enable
members to share stories of MECs 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 weve 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 nancial health
of the Co-op to enable us to continue to serve
members and follow our desired path forward.

Project, please email your contact information
to futures@mec.ca. 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 MECs 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 ofcially
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, were also
determining the best way to capture members
ideas your ideas about MECs future.

Were lucky here in the Kootenays. Skiing is a lifestyle; its part
of our day-to-day lives. In the city, people meet in a pub after work,
or sit in trafc, or whatever. We meet in the mountains, rip it up for
a couple of hours, and head home.

3 ways to gear up
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. Theres 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 t, fabric, and
features designed to meet your
specic needs.

Snowshoe selection guide
Saras been there
If you snowshoe downhill as well as
uphill, pick a snowshoe with enough
otation in front of your toes, or the
front of the snowshoe will dive as you
descend. If youll be in soft deep powder,
get larger snowshoes than recommended
for your size, or youll be post-holing
instead of 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 its farmed.
Plus where I was climbing,
it was a little steeper than it
looked. All in all it was a fun
lead though.

When youre 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

I think many cyclists struggle

with the fact that motorists
tend not to acknowledge our
presence on the streets. Either
they truly dont see us or
they just choose to ignore us.
Accidents can be avoided by
safe drivers and by safe cyclists
wearing safe gear.

When I choose cables for my brakes
and shifters I often go for the black,
Teon-coated cables. They shift smoothly
for longer, and are more resistant to
corrosion for winter commuting.

In two decades of mountaineering,
Dave Sarkanys had his share of high
adventure and low comedy. Through his
lms, he brings you along for the ride.
Dave knows that 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 Lighteld Tent,
we listened. In fact, we were already
working along the same lines.
Dave was a long-time fan of his
Lighteld. 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
sacricing storm-worthiness?
ITS 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 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.
Daves 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, its been designed
and tested to perform. Thats what
makes our gear a cut above.

3 ways to gear up
Net benefts
Besides immediate threats to sanity and
sleep, fies and mosquitoes can pose
longer-term threats to health. In tropical
climes, mosquitoes may transmit
malaria or the West Nile virus. (While
its 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
dont stop exploratory landing attempts,
with the accompanying, sleep-robbing
whines in your ear. Thats 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 fies,
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 fy
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, youll be more comfortable
in an all-net shelter with a looser, more
open weave. This mesh wont stop
no-see-ums (which arent much of a
problem in most tropical areas anyway),
but it will block fies and mosquitoes,
while letting you breathe easier.

Kaleb has been there
When I am winter camping I always
bring a metal avalanche shovel. Its 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
wont 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 -60C with the wind. In these conditions
you must be so careful. I love the isolation, but a small mistake can
become very dangerous.

ATR = Active Temperature Rating. See page 62 for details.
3 ways to gear up
Choosing the right
winter boots
The rst step in selecting the best
boots is knowing when and where
youll 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 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)
Its important to note that the ATR is
not the lowest temperature at which
a given boot will keep your feet
comfortable. Rather, its an indication
of the boots 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 youll
actually encounter.

Marie-Claude has been there
Long trips over rocky terrain will
eventually wear out the straps on
the bottom on your gaiters. Protect
them by sliding small pieces of tubular
webbing over the straps. Melt the ends
a bit so it doesnt 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? Thats right. We design it,
build the prototypes, and test them in the
lab and in the feld. But we dont just make
new products for the heck of it. Nope.
We do our homework frst. 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 theyre totally dialed.
Every new product is designed to fulfl a
specifc need, and performance is always our
frst priority. Sure, we want the gear to look
cool too, but we never sacrifce function for
fashion. Ever. Some folks around here call
this our design discipline. Not in a youve
been bad way, but as a way to describe our
ability to stay focussed on function. We know
weve 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.

Elinor
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.

3 ways to gear up
Clothing Insulations
Down Fills
Nothing 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 ll-power
goose down that is Canadian-
processed, 575 ll-power Taiwanese-
processed duck down that offers the
benets of down at very affordable
prices, and 700 ll-power premium-
quality Canadian-sourced goose down
that delivers excellent warmth and
outstanding loft with minimal weight
and packed size.
Synthetic Fills
Viable, 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 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 signicant 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 MECs proprietary
synthetic insulation. It strikes a ne
balance between weight, warmth,
durability, and value.
Dont despair repair
Gear casualties are part of the ongoing
battle between your clothes and the
outdoors. But dont worry most
damaged goods can easily be repaired.

great way to avoid bunching, binding,

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 t for improved wicking,
increased range of motion, and
bunch-free layering. Its 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 fabrics inside face
that trap air for greater warmth and
increased breathability. The fabrics
improved stretch allows a tailored
t that further improves insulation
and layering performance without
impeding mobility. 98% polyester,
2% spandex.
Merino insulates against cold and heat,
very pleasant when youre moving
through a multitude of microclimates.
It can absorb many times its own
weight in water and still continue to
insulate. Its 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. Its not
superb at wicking moisture, so its best
suited to moderately active day trips.
96% nylon, 4% spandex.

Naomis 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 childs head, so they can see
their surroundings, not the inside of the
hood. Minimal (non-functional) gadgetry,
so they dont get caught on things.
Reective, so they can be seen.
