Experiencing camping for the first time, in summer or winter, requires a few essential pieces of equipment, such as a sleeping bag. Sleeping under canvas can be even more enjoyable when you're well equipped, especially for the first time. To meet the needs of both summer and winter camping, we offer The North Face and MEC sleeping bags, from -7 to -30 degrees!

Not sure if your sleeping bag will keep up with the temperature? MEC liners are designed to provide just a little more warmth than that provided by your sleeping bag.
Is initiation to long-distance hiking on your wish list? If you don't have a suitable backpack and don't want to buy one until you've tried the sport, we've got The North Face's 65-liter backpacks. They're roomy, comfortable and practical for stowing all your long-hike gear.
If your sleeping pad has seen better days, we've got just the thing! Vectair floor mattresses are comfortable, lightweight and compact, perfect for hiking and camping. A good night's sleep is guaranteed!
The perfect tent for hiking and canoe-camping adventures. The Stormbreak 2 tent is compact, roomy enough for two people and can be carried on long hikes.
Walking poles really make a difference, especially on steeper descents. Don't deprive yourself of that little extra support - it's worth it! What's more, these MEC walking poles are compact and lightweight.
When you're outdoors, you need to be able to adapt to the weather. When hiking, it's quite possible that the trail will be muddy for a few kilometers! Gaiters are an accessory that can protect your hiking pants, which can be very advantageous if you only carry one pair on long hikes.
Helmets are a must-have for snow sports! We have a number of helmets available for rental, so you can learn to ski or snowboard safely.
You may need adjustable ski poles for certain touring outings, or even for an initiation if you don't have poles at home. We offer you this equipment.
Thanks to our partner Nordica, we can offer touring ski equipment for rental for introductory days. The complete equipment includes boots, skis with touring bindings and skins. If you only need boots or skis, you can rent them separately.
Burton has been following our touring adventures for many years! Thanks to this partner, we're able to offer divisible boards for hire, including bindings, skins and adjustable poles.
