Smile Mountain Guides’ Partners
Smile Mountain Guides is proudly supported by Mountain Equipment for our guides' apparel and gear kit in the mountains. We need the very best to keep our team protected, warm, and dry so they can focus on you!
Why Mountain Equipment?
Guides need consistency, the very best products, and refinement over time. Smile needs partners who will stick around and grow with our team.
Since Mountain Equipment began in 1961, their team has participated in countless ascents of the world’s highest peaks, supported climbers in establishing ever more adventurous routes, and equipped world record-setting trips to the North and South Poles.
They have been making gear for the most inhospitable places on the planet for over 50 years, and that knowledge lives in their gear. Their kit is fundamentally better because it stays true to those founding principles; it's refined over decades rather than making a new “hot thing”, and that's why it’s better. We can rely on it being the same product with years of refinement and testing- not just a guess.
Test it for yourself.
