MEC Toronto

Great selection. Awesome customer service. Their new building could use some work though, for an outdoors equipment retailer the store vibe is too cold and plastic.

I have been a customer of MEC for the last 20 years. This store is amazing. They always have the best merchandise and such friendly and knowledgeable staff! I can't say enough good things about MEC.

Loving the new store and location. MEC is my go to place for outdoor gear and equipment. Though some items are worth doing your own price comparisons. Usually MEC comes out on top for price and quality. The staff know their products and do workshops for groups of kids if you ask.

Came in today for climbing gear. Andrew helped us out to get all geared up for outdoor top rope climbing. He was great! Showed us all the proper equipment, how it works etc. Advised us about hiring an instructor for our first time going out. Showed us a few knots, tying techniques and a climbing guide for Ontario. It was obvious he's very knowledgeable and cares about the safety of the patrons he sells gear too. Great experience.

MEC offers a lot of quality products and name brands with frequent sales. This location is conveniently located in the downtown core which allows for quick shopping through the lunch hour or after work. The staff are knowledgeable and willing to take the time to help you get the appropriate gear for your needs.

Came to the new MEC location on Queen and have to say it is quite spacious and the workshops are great. Came to a knot tying basics class led by David S and to some other workshops at the grand opening and all have been informational. Encourage everyone to take a look as they are worthwhile.
