Benefits of Membership
Co-ops are not about making profit for shareholders, they're about creating value for members. Our members get access to really fine gear at affordable prices, from a business that considers its actions and its impact.
Back in 1988
We sold the Hi-Tec® DKI boots which were named after our footwear buyer at the time - Dave Kunan. These were followed by the Co-op DKII and DKIII boots in 1990. And after Dave left MEC, Hi-Tec produced the XDK boots, which appeared in the summer of 1993.
