Mountain Safety Research aka MSR was born in 1969 by an engineer and mountaineer, Larry Penberthy. He was dedicated to improving equipment safety in the mountains and that value holds today in MSR’s products and design philosophy. Under Cascade Designs, MSR believes that “better, safer, more reliable equipment is the key to unlocking greater adventures” and we couldn’t agree more. Their products stand the test of time, and you can rely on MSR equipment to be there for years to come, fueling special moments in the outdoors.
