Description

Learn everything you ever wanted to know about staying comfortable on your winter adventures with an exclusive discounted shopping event.

Temperatures are dropping and we're getting lots of questions about what gear you should invest in for next year. So, we're kicking off the day with an interactive clothing clinic to empower you with the knowledge and skills to dress smartly and actually enjoy any winter weather! You'll learn how to layer your clothing and develop an effective winter clothing system, understand the importance of fabric choices, and get expert tips on the best gear for different cold-weather activities.

The clinic will be led by MEC and WU staff and we'll have a giveaway for a high quality set of winter base-layers!

Once that wraps up, you'll get an exclusive 15% discount on almost everything in store with staff on hand to help you with your purchases.

We're huge fans of MEC and couldn't be more excited to make this available to you, completely free of charge for all WU members.

What to Expect on a WU Trip

Is a Wilderness Union Trip Right for You?
We offer a unique alternative to commercial tours. We don't just show you incredible natural wonders, we teach you to become confident in nature so you can discover the life changing magic of the outdoors. You'll love it here if:
- You want to make real friends, not just small talk with strangers
- You prefer "off the beaten path" over "all-inclusive resort"
- You're happy to pitch in and learn new skills (e.g., helping with camp setup or group tasks)
- You value the journey and the company as much as the destination

Who Else Will Be There
WU is aimed at a younger generation of outdoor lovers who don't see themselves represented in traditional hiking clubs and our members are typically 20-40 years old. Whether you're brand new to the outdoors or have plenty of experience, you'll find something for you.

Our Guides
All of our guides are highly qualified, passionate outdoor lovers, just like you. They love to share their knowledge and will help you see our destinations in another light, often teaching you something along the trail.
