We're hanging out our own shingle--and opening our first store in Portland, Oregon. Join us for a series of special events!

Mike Wallenfels, our company president, will lead the ribbon cutting on April 11th, 2008. Portland's own KNRK will broadcast from the Portland store from noon until 2 pm. On April 12th, catch a slideshow by Mike Libecki. On April 13th, listen to Montrail athlete Matt Hart talk about his experiences. From April 11th through 13th, the first 25 customers through the door will receive a Defender day pack. From April 14th through 17th, the first 25 customers through the door will receive a Rugger day pack. Plus, we will donate 10% of our sales for the entire month of April to Multnomah County's Friends of Outdoor School, a local organization that sends 6th graders to science camp.*

Find our new store at 722 SW Taylor in downtown Portland.

Here are some conceptual sketches, to whet your appetite. Check back for photographs.

Welcome to our new store

how about a store in seattle, wa

Be careful what you wish for! A Mountain Hardwear store just might be coming to Seattle...

Norm:

How about one in North Carolina, we got mountains too.

Gil Torres:

Where on the web site can you apply for employment.

You can find current employment listings on Mountain Hardwear's main website, at this address: http://www.mountainhardwear.com/CareerOpportunities.aspx

jg smith:

What about one in the SF Area??. Even with all the new REI's oepning it is hard to see your products since REI only carries 1-2 tents, 3-4 clothing items and gaiters. Since you were formed down here out of the TNF East Bay lineage it would be fitting...

We're working on it!

Josh :

I see the Seattle store is opened. Can you get all the items listed on you site there? It might be nice to have an alternative to the other store in town.

Hello Josh,

Our retail stores carry a smaller selection than the website. However, they can do special orders for you, so you do have access to the entire line (all the items listed on our website). If you see something that you like, you can always call the store and see if they have the item in stock.

Let us know what you think of the Seattle store.

Where can I find a South Col Backpack that I can try on before I buy? I live in Atlanta.
