  • Although you can come to MEC for a jacket and backpack to use around town, the real strength of the co-op is technical gear. For example, the fantastic down jacket I bought here almost a decade ago rarely travels north of Bloor St, but when put to the test camping at -25 or on belay during an ice climbing course, it really proved its worth. Any trip I take- whether traveling in cities or canoeing for a week - involves a visit to MEC. The staff is generally well informed and helpful. Because MEC is a non-profit and the staff aren't on commission, you can rely on them to help you find what you need rather than just pushing you toward the latest shiny, expensive gizmo. While you'll find all the latest toys here, the focus is on stuff that's well made, that lasts, and that is suited for its intended purpose. The co-op is also constantly working to improve its environmental and ethical business practices. One of my few complaints about the co-op is that the size range for clothes/equipment is pretty narrow. This is probably mostly because of the manufacturers, but MEC might be able to do something about it with their own lines, at least. I was considering ice climbing boots a few years ago, and they didn't have any that were small enough (and I'm not that small.) On the other hand, I have quite a few friends who can't find clothing big enough - their largest sizes are not that large. Overall, though, if you need outdoor sports equipment, there isn't a better place in Toronto.
