Arctic Gear
Richard and Josée Auclair have been developing polar equipment and food for almost twenty years. Most outdoor equipment available on the market is developed by mountaineers for mountain conditions. The polar regions are a completely different environment and therefore require different equipment, clothing and food. The gear you choose for these environments is crucial.
Weber Arctic gear has been developed and designed by Richard Weber, Josee Auclair and their team. Some of this equipment has taken years to develop. For example, we made our first tent in 1991, first ski bindings in 1990, first boots in 1992. They have worked on ski bindings with the Canadian military before developing their own. Clothing and food development started with the Polar Bridge Expedition in 1988. Over the years, they have developed a range of products for polar travel, including tents, sleeping bags, ski bindings, clothing, boots, and several specialty food items.
Our gear is designed by polar explorers for polar conditions only.
