About MEC
Gear Testing at MEC

Gear Testing at MEC

The gear "was getting baked and mouldy at the same time." Field testers Pierre and Janick described the conditions on their global cycling epic to MEC's product design team. Real-world thrashing and tester feedback is part of the process we use to create MEC products. Surviving a session with testers helps hone our product concepts, and the feedback is invaluable for refining the final designs. The ultimate goal is to make functional, durable equipment that meets our members' needs.
