Montbell is a Japanese outdoor brand founded in 1975 by mountaineer Isamu Tatsuno, born from the idea: “Let’s make the gear we want to use.” Frustrated with the limitations of existing gear, Tatsuno set out to create lightweight, functional equipment suited to Japan’s demanding mountain conditions.

Guided by the concepts “Light & Fast” and “Function is Beauty,” Montbell focuses on simplicity, performance, and reliability. Their gear is designed through real outdoor experience, using innovative materials to support safe and comfortable adventures.

Now in its 50th year, Montbell remains a trusted choice for hikers, climbers, and outdoor enthusiasts who value smart, minimalist design.
