What exactly is "MEC"? I tried googling it, however it didnt give me clues.

Mountain Equipment Coop.
They sell camping/climbing/exploring type gear. It's run as a non-profit coop.
I get my hiking boots from them, as well as various other outdoor supplies.

| | | | Thank you Womprat, I did not know that....learn something new every day!
I do no provisioning at MEC, but I've seen the stuff before, and wondered what the deal was with it.

Mm, sorry, I should have explained as others have already done for me. Mea culpa.

Still, they have pretty cheap headlamps and other somewhat specilized gear - you have to be selective, but can get decent price/quality ratios with some of their kit. Still, it has been trending a bit towards the eddie bauer demographic lately.

| | | | Heeey. Nice site.
I was just looking at the headlamps, and yeah, they're pretty decently priced. I'm considering ordering one, in fact. Just trying to balance cost with batter life/lamp brightness. I don't have much money these days.

| | | | I got an awesome little red LED keychain light for $3 there. Turned out to be invaluable last weekend, when white light would have been too attention catching to the police who were scoping out the hospital I was exploring with a spotlight.
(Much thanks to the idiot drunk teenagers who make a ruckus and got the cops called in the first place. Morons.)
