The XPot pairs a durable and heat-efficient hard anodized aluminum base with a stepped silicone body to create a lightweight collapsible pot. Folding down to a mere 4cm thick, the Xpot 2.8 frees up valuable backpack real estate for more important items (like chocolate).



Keeps your drink at the temperature you want. Triple-insulated walls keeps drinks cold for up to 25h or hot for up to 12h, and won’t sweat on you. The wide-mouth opening accommodates most ice cubes.

Pants that will get you set for the (inevitable) soggy North Shore conditions a few months away. The seams are taped, the zippers won’t let water in and they’re cut for coverage as you ride. Best of all, the venting panel won’t make them feel like you’re wearing a garbage bag.



The Big Squeeze knife has an intuitive and easy to use sheath: simply reach for your knife, tighten your grip around the handle, and your knife is free. The blunt tip reduces the chances of puncturing yourself or your equipment.



What’s squeaky, super fun and made of recycled bike inner tubes? This awesome dog toy. Plus, it floats!



A Tour de France special edition pair of Look KeO Easy pedals (just in time for le Tour kicking off in July). A great choice for riders looking for a first pair of clipless pedals, or those looking for a simple pedal, they’re lightweight, easy to get in and out of, and feel stable.

## Fenix HL40R Headlamp


With Fenix’s first rotary lens system, you can dial in the perfect beam, from flood to spot and everywhere in between. There are 7 brightness modes to choose from, including a reading mode. A boost mode of 600 lumens is great for scoping lines, or for helping you figure out what just made that noise outside your tent.

Made of old plastic bottles and wild rubber – each pair contains about 3 recycled plastic bottles. Veja is about minimalism and innovation, and operates on the principles of radical supply chain transparency, fair trade and ecologically sound practices.



With a solid resume of adventures behind it, the Tilley Hat is a Canadian icon, and the best-selling Airflo Hat is no exception.

- UPF 50+ protection shields your head when there’s no shade in sight.
- Broad brim and DWR finish keep you dry when storm clouds gather.
- Stealthy pocket in the crown holds extra cash or your passport for those times you don’t want to wear a money belt.



Known for its reliable and rugged power solutions, Goal Zero is a household, van-hold or yurt-hold name among off-grid adventurers. The Yeti 1000 lives up to expectations, using lightweight (vs lead-acid) lithium batteries to give you on-grid convenience no matter where you are.



Made from organic cotton and Tencel, the Rya V-Neck resists wrinkles and is a comfy option for your everyday routine.



ChromaPop® lenses deliver exceptional clarity, high contrast and dynamic colour optimization, making them great for challenging light conditions. Hydroleophobic lens coating helps protect the lenses from smudges/droplets and repels water, making them easier to clean.

Forest or lakeview site? Sunrise or sunset watching? S’mores or banana boats? Camping and backpacking are full of decisions to make. So when it comes to camping gear, we want to make sure you know what exactly choice is right for you.

Check out our gear vs. gear video series below – we compared some of our favourite picks for pillows, tents, sleeping pads, sleeping bags and camp chairs side-by-side to help you make your decision.

## Camping chairs
##### Nemo Stargaze Luxury Chair vs. MEC Park Chair


MEC Gear vs Gear: Camping Chairs

If want to kick back for front row seats during the meteor shower, the Nemo is a prime option. And if you’re looking for a solid seat with 3 different reclining positions, the MEC Park Chair is ready to hit the beach, park or campsite.



## Lightweight tents
##### MEC Spark 2 vs. MSR Hubba Hubba NX


MEC Gear vs Gear: 2-person Tents (3-season)

Counting grams for your 3-season gear? The Spark 2 is lightweight for long-haul adventures, and the Hubba Hubba is a well-loved classic for a reason (plus you can set it up as a fly/footprint combo).



## Camping tents
##### MEC Camper 3 vs. MSR Elixir 3


MEC Gear vs Gear: 3-person Tents (3-season)

Excellent roomy options for backpacking trips with quite a few similarities. The MSR Elixir 3 comes with a footprint included, and the MEC Camper 3 has a higher waterproofness level in the floor.



## Sleeping pads
##### Car camping: MEC Reactor 6.5 vs MEC Reactor 10


MEC Gear vs Gear: Sleeping Pads

With 10cm of pure cushy comfort, the Reactor 10 is your ticket to peak camp dreams… but the Reactor 6.5 isn’t far behind and has the member reviews to back up its legacy. Both are available in double sleeping pad sizes too.



##### Backpacking: MEC VectAir vs Therm-a-rest NeoAir Trekker


Gear Vs Gear   Neoair trekker vs Vectair Sleeping Pads EN

Dreaming of backpacking trips? These 2 sleeping pad options are both insulated air pads, but with slightly different R-values and packed sizes. If you want a bit more sleeping surface, they also come in longer and wider options.



## Camping pillows
##### MEC Air Pillow vs. MEC Deluxe Pillow


MEC Gear vs Gear: Camping & Travel Pillows

Bottom line: both camping pillows are way comfier than sleeping on a balled-up fleece jacket, and neither one takes up a ton of space.



## Sleeping bags
##### Backpacking: MEC Cassiopeia -9 vs. MEC Delphinus -9


MEC Gear vs Gear: Sleeping Bags

Two of our best-selling sleeping bags – is down or synthetic the right option for you?



##### Car camping: MEC Creekside vs MEC Fireside


Gear Vs Gear   Creekside vs Fireside Sleeping bags EN

Both of these bags are made to keep you comfy on car camping trips. The Creekside sleeping bag is an easy to care for rectangular bag (at a solid price), and comes in a few temperature ranges and sizes. The Fireside is all about maximum sleeping comfort – and it has a zip-off quilt, too.

It’s (finally) time to welcome 9pm sunsets and weekends filled with bike rides, hiking trails and playing fetch with your pooch at the park. Make the most of the start of summer weather with the latest stuff we’re stoked on:

## BioLite Solarhome 620


The SolarHome 620 lets you add a touch of solar-powered civility to your adventure van, off-grid cabin or base camp. This compact kit includes 3 hanging daisy chain lights that have multiple modes and work like your lights at home; simply flick the switch (and one light has a motion sensor). The control box houses a large battery and doubles as a radio and MP3 player. Dual side-mounted USB ports even allow you to charge your devices.



Garmin packs more into the Edge 130 than any other compact bike GPS. You get GPS-based speed and distance, barometric altimeter-based ascents and descents, navigation through courses setup through the free mobile app (or Strava), plus smart notifications and alerts. The internal antenna connects 3 different satellite constellations, a first for any Garmin unit.



If you’re just getting into road racing, these clipless pedals could be your jam. They’re made with good-quality sealed cartridge bearings to offer reliable performance.



What’s smaller than 2 Tic Tac® boxes and can save your life? Garmin’s new inReach Mini takes the core features from the proven inReach GPS satellite communicators and shrinks them down to pocket size.

- You can send and receive text messages and emails anywhere on the planet, staying connected even where there’s no cell phone coverage.
- Internal GPS handles basic navigation and sends location data with each message, letting your followers track your adventures.
- A dedicated SOS button lets you call for help, no matter where you are.

## MEC Lightweight Baselayer Long John’s – Children


So versatile: they work on their own in the summer, then go under anything in winter. Wicking fabric dries fast, and it’s equipped with antimicrobial technology to keep it smelling fresher for longer. UPF 40 sun protection for when the sun comes out.



## Therm-a-rest NeoAir Camper Duo Sleeping Pad


A two-person sleeping pad that won’t feel like a two-person sleeping pad. Separate chambers give you and your partner the option to customize the firmness. 7.6cm of thickness is a dream come true for side sleepers and toss-and-turners who need extra plushness.



Everything is better with sprinkles. Chuao applies this truth to this new milk chocolate bar, which is loaded with chunks of crunchy waffle cone and buttery hazelnuts, then topped with sprinkles.

## SRAM XG-1275 10-50T 12 Speed Cassette

A trad shoe that blends performance with comfort, it’s not traditionally stiff, but supports your foot with a tensioning system that runs under the mid-foot and over the heel. The higher cut protects your ankle bones when your jamming or cranking 40 metres of offwidth (you know you love it).

Tents that float above the ground, techy headphones and new outdoor staples.

Packing up the car and heading out on a camping adventure with friends is one of the best ways to spend a summer weekend. But sometimes, getting a good night’s sleep in a tent can be a bit of a struggle.

Find out how to handle chilly evenings, busy campsites and rogue roots with the potential to jab you in the back at 2am. Once you’ve mastered the art of camp sleeps, there’s really nothing quite like a night under the stars.

## Get the right gear


#### Pick the best sleeping bag for you
Your sleeping bag is one of the most important camping purchases you make, so it’s worth some research to choose wisely. The first thing to think about is the temperature rating. A summer sleeping bag will have a very different rating than those made for winter camping, but summer evenings can still get a little chilly. For best results, choose a bag that’s rated to a few degrees colder than the temperature you anticipate outside.

You’ll also want to consider the shape of the bag, so think about the way you sleep at home. Do you toss and turn a lot at night? A barrel or rectangle shaped bag gives you more room to move than a mummy shaped sleeping bag. If a sleeping bag just feels too restrictive overall, you can skip one altogether and use a camping quilt instead.



#### Add a sleeping pad or cot
Sleeping pads play a huge role in comfy sleeps, and not just because they’re a layer to cushion your back from roots and rocks. They’re also key to keeping you warm by insulating you from the ground.

A simple foam pad is an inexpensive, yet bulky, option, but sleeping pads have come a long way. Today’s sleeping pads can be filled with just air (like an air mattress) or be insulated for extra comfort. Some of them even provide 10cm of cushiness, yet still pack down small when you’re back home. Want even more space between you and the ground? Consider a camping cot.



When you’re car camping, you might be tempted to bring a full-sized pillow from home. But if you don’t want to infuse your everyday pillow with campfire smell, you can sleep just as well on a camping pillow. For a peek at two options, check out our [video comparing camp pillows](/en/article/gear-vs-gear-camping-edition).



#### Don’t forget earplugs
Even if you’re a fan of nature’s noises, make sure to bring along a pair of earplugs, especially if you’re camping at a large campground. Nodding off is easier when you’re not woken up by the sound of a trunk closing from a late camper arrival, or hear laughing from the campfire a few sites away.

## Set up your space
If you’re a light sleeper, then find a campsite that’s far from heavy car or foot traffic on trails. Skip sites that are close to the road or right beside outhouses and washroom buildings. Another option for quiet? Scope out campgrounds that aren’t as popular… you might find a hidden gem.

When you do pitch your tent, look for a patch of ground that’s as flat as possible and free of tree roots. If you have to set up on an incline, think about how you’ll arrange things inside your tent and where you want the doors to face. Keep your pillow at the highest point to avoid waking up with a headache, and think about where the sunbeams will be shining at sunrise.

#### Keep scented things away
To keep any unwanted night time creatures from visiting your tent, make sure anything scented is outside of your tent (that includes food, deodorant, shampoo and toothpaste). Lock them up in the car if you’re at a drive-in site, or if you’re in the backcountry, put them in bear-safe food lockers, hang them from a tree using ropes and a bag, or use a bear-resistant canister.



#### Find the familiar
If you have a nighttime routine that helps you relax before bed at home, try to stick to it when you’re camping. Maybe some evening stretching or a chapter of a book is what you need to signal to your brain that it’s time to turn in.

#### Have tea by the fire


A cup of hot cocoa can be a favourite campfire drink, but even small amounts of caffeine or sugar can keep you up at night. Try subbing the caffeinated beverage with chamomile tea, known for its calming effects.



## Stay warm
Wet and warm do not mix. Make sure that everything on your body, from your head to your feet, is as dry as possible. This means removing any article of clothing that you may have sweat in throughout the day. Go to sleep in a clean, dry set of long johns (it also keeps your sleeping bag cleaner over time).

Base layers are a great way to help trap heat and stay warm. If you’re sleeping in colder weather, wear multiple layers on the top and bottom along socks, a toque and mitts (your fingers will be warmer when they can share heat).



With the right gear, a bedtime routine and knowing tips for setting up camp and staying warm, getting outside and comfy is simple – you’ll probably want to stay awhile.

If getting a solid sleep in a tent can be a struggle for you, here are some ideas to help.

How to get a good night’s sleep when you’re camping | MEC Learn

A recipe for zzz’s in the woods

Get ready for a summer of outdoor adventures. This batch of new gear at MEC includes packs from Osprey and Fjallraven, chairs to kick back or carry with you, a wind-tunnel tested umbrella, and some of the best possible rechargeable batteries available. Here’s some of the latest gear on mec.ca we’re excited to share:

## Fjallraven Kanken Backpack


Originally created as a backpack for Swedish schoolchildren, this pack has swept the globe, and it isn’t hard to see why. A wide clamshell opening makes loading up a breeze. Slip-in side pockets are tried and tested to give you grabbable access to your water bottle or umbrella.



Someone always snagging your hammock? Kick back in Nemo’s Stargaze Luxury Chair. It’s suspended, letting you swing as though you were in a hammock. Toss it in the trunk and bring it car camping or to a BBQ in the park; it works on most terrain.



## Panasonic Eneloop Rechargeable Batteries


Panasonic’s Eneloop line of rechargeable batteries are widely regarded as some of the best on the market. Able to be recharged up to 2100 times, and retain more than 70% capacity after 10 years in storage. Excellent cold-weather performance.



New to MEC – Osprey packs! The Talon’s super-comfortable carrying system makes it great for day hikes, grocery runs or weekend bike rides. Handy features include a stow-and-go trekking pole carrying system and an external hydration sleeve. Stretch-mesh pockets are easy to access and have plenty of room for sunscreen and protein bars.



A soft T-shirt that’s made of cotton, cut for movement and open to anything you have going on.



With deep lenses that block reflected light and the Advancer™ nose bridge that stops fog before it starts, the Field Jacket Sunglasses have you covered. Great for trail riding, road cycling and trail running.



Don’t buy and discard another umbrella. This one is durable and radially tensioned to stop it from blowing inside out. It’s been wind-tunnel tested to simulates gusts getting channeled around buildings and down city streets.



## New Balance BKOv1 Boa Running Shoes (kids’ sizes 4–7)


Great for running on pavement and setting speed records. Lightweight synthetic and mesh upper help feet stay cool and comfortable, and the Boa closure system cinches down for a secure fit.



This chair’s compact aluminum design makes it easy to bring backpacking or on hikes to your favourite picnic spot. Don’t let the lightweight package fool you, though – it’s also mighty enough to support up to 113kg.



A modular system for wearing at a high basecamp or in polar conditions. Pertex® Endurance water-resistant fabric shell protects the down interior. Attach the outer footbed for walking around camp and remove it for bivies or when in the tent.



Lighter than an axe and more efficient than a large knife, this saw will revolutionize the way you maintain trails, collect firewood, or do anything else that requires cutting wood. Designed for professional arborists, the Accel is comfortable enough for all-day use.



In addition to a fun shark pattern on the cuff, these performance socks provide airflow and comfort on long, hot training days on the bike.

## Aeropress coffee & espresso maker


Real coffee, crema and all, from a device that weighs less than the average hiking boot. The Aeropress brews delicious American-style coffee or espresso-style caffeine hits to keep mom ticking.



One part poncho, one part blanket, two parts awesome. The insulated, breathable and water-resistant Honcho Poncho is filled with synthetic insulation to manage humidity fluctuation and prevent it holding dampness. Perfect for walks on cool days or evenings at the campfire.



This bar is packed so full of deliciousness that we can’t be held responsible if mom eats the whole thing. The good news? It breaks into convenient bite-sized chunks so she can easily share it with the fam.



Deemed “The ultimate travel pant” by MEC staffers and Ambassadors, the Timeless pants combine comfort, mobility and style in a way that few pants can match. Buy mom a pair of these and she’ll never again wonder, “What am I going to wear today?”



Take Mother’s Day to the next level with an outdoor wood-fired pizza oven. Using commonly available wood pellets as fuel, the Uuni oven reaches 500°C in just 10 minutes. One bite from these pizzas and mom will think she’s been transported to Sicily.



This versatile fleece won’t weigh mom down. A lined collar and deep handwarmer pockets provide welcome shelter, and elastic binding at the cuffs allows for easy adjustments to the sleeves.



Camp coffee will never be the same. Yeti’s Rambler 14 is totally over-engineered for all hydration and caffeination needs. Made of 18/8 stainless steel, it offers that famous Yeti durability plus double-wall vacuum insulation, No Sweat design and all the hot/cold temperature boosting your mom can handle.
