SINCE 1972

1978 Kluane Mountaineering catalogue cover
Archive / 1978

We don't need to invent a heritage story.

The old catalogues, garments, expedition photographs, patterns and labels are still here. So is the company that made them.

Kluane Parka System
Technical information wasn't something to hide. It was the catalogue.

THE GEAR
WENT PLACES.

Kluane equipment found its way to the Arctic, Antarctic, Himalayas and other cold, high and generally unreasonable places.

The old catalogue didn't need to turn that into mythology. It simply recorded what happened.

Historic Kluane Mountaineering labels and patches

Fifty-four years leaves a few things lying around.

Labels, patches, old patterns, catalogues, photographs, jackets, signs and other evidence of a company that has spent a long time making down equipment in Edmonton.
