What is MSR's craftsmanship?

Safety is the key to unlocking one’s adventure.

Founder Larry Penberthy believed that better, safer, more reliable gear is the key to unlocking people to greater adventures.

At all times, people yearn for adventure.
Perhaps it is just a human instinct.
It is the “gear” itself that pushes adventurers to take risks so that they can go to the world they want to see.

MSR uses engineering and scientific knowledge to conduct experiments and research and performs numerous on-site tests to ensure the safety of its products. This obsession with safety is what makes their gear truly reliable and high-performance.

To lead people to greater adventures in the future;
MSR’s “adventure in search of safety” is likely to continue for many years to come.
