It was founded in 1969 by Larry Penberthy because he was not pleased with the safety and reliability of outdoor equipment. In 1973 Penberthy developed the MSR Model 9 camp stove, a breakthrough design because of its relatively efficient performance in cold weather.[1] He separated the stove burner from then small fuel tanks, and then pressurized auxiliary fuel bottles as the tank. And then he made a better wind screen. He also invented an ice-ax pick design that was believed to dig into the ice better and stop a slide. Penberthy also introduced possibly the first metal-shafted ice axes that have now wholly replaced earlier, wooden-shaft designs.[2]
Penberthy produced a newsletter and experimented widely on outdoor gear in the Pacific Northwest. He is credited with the Penberthy crampon wrap as a way to prevent wet snow from balling up under crampons. He forced testing onto mountaineering and bicycle helmets. He helped to change the manufacturing of climbing ropes in the USA. He tested wind-proof-ness of tents on top of cars on highways and added arm-pit vents and face masks integral to jackets.
Today MSR produces camping, hiking and mountaineering equipment such as portable stoves, water filters, and tents. MSR has also had a large impact on the snowshoe industry, being the first to design and distribute snowshoes made of composite materials. Composite snowshoes are lighter and MSR snowshoes provide the option to add additional length to the back in order to provide more flotation.
