Mountain Gear is a sporting goods company based in Spokane, Washington, with activities spanning retail, catalog, and online sales of backcountry clothing and equipment. It traces its origins to a founder who designed and built a better backpack in his living room, eventually growing from a small Spokane shop serving climbers and backpackers to a larger retail operation. The business expanded to include an indoor climbing wall at its Spokane location, with staff offering classes in climbing, kayaking, backcountry cooking, layering, and related skills. The company published a catalog starting in 1993 and later launched a website that supports its retail and catalog offerings with a full assortment of gear. Its corporate headquarters and distribution center are located in a renovated, LEED Gold-certified building in Spokane Valley, underscoring an emphasis on environmentally conscious operations. Over the years, Mountain Gear has positioned itself as a resource for backcountry enthusiasts beyond its local market, reaching customers nationwide and internationally through its catalog and online store.
