I tested backpacking gear from Canada's most popular outdoor brand, Mountain Equipment Company, on a three day backpacking trip in the Canadian Rockies! MEC is often referred to as, "Canada's REI" but you rarely see MEC gear on trail in the United States. So I journeyed to Alberta, Canada to test the "REI of Canada" in the Canadian wilderness, as well as a few other pieces of gear from Canadian made or designed brands, to find out if Mountain Equipment Company gear was worth more attention. Of course I couldn't embark on this adventure without one of Canada's most popular backpacking YouTubers showing me the ropes of what it's like to backpack in the remote Canadian Rockies. I am talking, of course, about my good friend ‪@JustinOutdoors‬! Justin We spent 3 stormy days together backpacking a rugged section of the Great Divide Trail, and had epic fun, as well as some serious struggles, along the way. How did MEC gear fare on this rain drenched adventure? Watch the video to see! Full gear list below! 👇
