Mountain Equipment Orion Jacket

Mountain Equipment is an iconic British technical outdoor brand that has been outfitting expeditions to the world's highest peaks since the 1960s. The brand is particularly renowned for its high-performance mountaineering equipment, including down sleeping bags and technical shells like the Orion Jacket. A hallmark of their legacy is their commitment to alpine ethics and the DOWN CODEX, a project aimed at managing the risk in the down supply chain to ensure high standards of animal welfare and quality.

While the brand's design and engineering happen at their headquarters in the United Kingdom, manufacturing is distributed globally. Like many high-end technical apparel brands, they utilize specialist factories in Asia (such as China and Vietnam) and Europe that possess the advanced machinery required for laser cutting, bonding, and complex membrane lamination found in products like the Orion. Today, Mountain Equipment remains a subsidiary of the British-based OSC Group, continuing its tradition of producing hardware and softgoods for elite climbers and professional mountaineers.
