In 1969, Larry Penberthy, an engineer in Seattle and long-time mountaineer, created Mountain Safety Research, an individual crusade aimed at improving the safety of climbing equipment. To best prepare for these adventures, it is also essential to equip yourself well, especially with affordable hiking backpacks suited to your needs. The fuel behind Larry's passionate fire was a simple belief that still drives the MSR team today:

The idea that better, safer, and more reliable equipment is the key to experiencing greater adventures.

From this idea was born a pioneering company in the field of outdoor activities, whose innovations have revolutionized the way people experience outdoor activities around the world. Today, MSR has a close-knit team, always obsessed with designing the most reliable and high-performing equipment possible, using all its engineering and scientific knowledge to find better solutions to the challenges of the mountain.

MSR now offers a complete range to live and fully enjoy nature. From the tent, to the stove, including the cookware, not to mention the essential camping gear for any expedition, you will surely find your happiness. Camping, hiking with MSR equipment, ensures you have a great time.
