The MEC house brand is good stuff. Better and in some instances much better, than REI, I think.


I've become very dissapointed in REI's brand of gear. It seems that every time they revamp a line, it is for fashion's sake, with a decrease in useable quality.


While I do like MEC house brand gear and it tends to hold up, MEC also suffers from revamping good stuff for fashion's sake and making it suck. My beloved original rad pants, dervish windshirt, and northern lite pullover all got replaced with things that were "improved" but not as good. It's
still buyer beware.
