Mountain Equipment's very first products were down-insulated sleeping bags and 'duvet' jackets, which remain central to our brand today. We have been leaders in animal welfare standards, creating the DOWN CODEX® in 2009 and partnering with RDS® more recently to enhance the welfare standards in our down supply chain even further.

In addition to down insulation, we have a long history of producing synthetic clothing and sleeping bags, utilizing the latest fabric technology. Our iconic Fitzroy Jacket was introduced in the early 1970s. Today, we employ a variety of synthetic fills, each selected for specific applications and user requirements. From pioneering synthetic belay jackets in the 1970s to developing our own state-of-the-art synthetic insulation, we have consistently been at the forefront of creating clothing designed to keep you warm in the worst conditions possible.

Mountain Equipment is a GORE-TEX Brand development partner, collaborating on the creation of every new GORE-TEX fabric for decades. From our very first GORE-TEX jacket in 1976 to the introduction of PRO in the early 2010s, and now the launch of next-gen ePE membrane, we have consistently utilised the best fabrics available in our waterproof products.

In addition to GORE-TEX, we have also developed our own DRILITE® range, which includes both highly weatherproof and fully waterproof fabrics. This range has been a key feature of our products for over 30 years, offering reliable waterproof protection and packability.
