i agree their prices are higher BUT their warranty is second to none!
I had an old MEC backpack AND and torn MEC tent which they tried to repair for me, they got the backpack repaired AND since they couldn't repair the tent they replaced it with a new one! all free of charge!
That peace of mind is worth the price IMO
you might also note that some of the newer style sleeping bags are essentially tent in themselves, might want to look into that as well
there's that outdoor supply place on Yukon and 7th i forget the name but they also have good prices on quality gear as well(sorry above post had it 3vets outdoorsupply)
