A much needed and fantastic addition to the limited selection of outdoor stores in Lubbock. Baker…read morehas a decidedly more leisure in the outdoors approach featuring more boats, daily clothing, and fishing gear. If an easy going day on the lake angling in the sun is more your speed, this is the place for you. That said, there is a decent selection of camping and hiking gear. Sea-to-Summit is the most noteworthy brand in this category. There is quite a lot of selection from general camping needs to specific high quality sleeping systems (sleeping bags and inflatable pads). Black Diamond headlamps and trekking poles. There are tents, but I can't remember the brands specifically offhand. Ultralight dry sacks and heavier duty dry sacks to pair with the boats. There are even Mountain House and Peak Refuel dried meals. Clothing galore, to include lots of casual short sleeve button downs, camo patterns, lightweight full cover fabrics for fishing under the hot sun, and a great array of winter jackets and pants. Some major brands are Fjällräven, Sitka, Outdoor Research, Mystery Ranch. A huge assortment of hats. Shoes and sandals are of course a given. This includes my personal favorite shoe brand Topo Athletic. My review is non-exhaustive, and this place is unexpectedly huge inside. A relatively recent addition is spirits and beer available to drink while you browse the selection (free of charge, I might add). Nothing like a little alcohol to lower the purchasing inhibitions! The store owner, Garrett, is a great guy and easy to talk to about anything regarding gear and the great outdoors. In particular, I used this store to help outfit me for my Appalachian Trail hike and his camping experience came in handy for bouncing ideas off of. Absolutely worth a visit!

The staff members on Christmas Eve 2022 were all fairly busy, so no help was offered. The person who checked me out on my first ever visit to thus store was not too friendly. Most items were organized & in stock. It's not anywhere near as big as the Bass Pro Shop I used to go to, but I suppose Lubbock is lucky to have one. Costco (including a gas station) & several other shopping opportunities are nearby. So is easy access to Loop 289.

Academy Sports + Outdoors in Lubbock, TX, helped me score big for my big kiddo…read more Back on December 27, 2025, I came here with my parents and their friend to take a looksee. I had never before been to an Academy, but my mom suggested them as a place to search for a new karate bag for my daughter. I found one right away. Under Armour. $50. It seemed/seems sturdier than her last bag and certainly larger to fit all her new gear. Meanwhile, I liked their Texas Tech gear. They sold a variety colors of Crocs - mainly just plain styles. Some cool Hey Dudes. Women's workout gear. Kid's and adult ear protection - not only for shooting ranges, but those body rumbling car/truck race events too. And that day they had 20% off these super cool looking Mom bags by bogg. Perfect for the basketball, football or softball moms that tote around everything else everyone appreciates. Quick-moving checkout lines. Nice service at the register. Place could be cleaner, but overall I was satisfied.

He gave me very helpful recommendations and was really great about balancing helping me & another man that was in the shop. I picked out a Kershaw and got the blade engraved.

Some of their prices were great, like Benchmadeand and zero tolerance. Other brands like CRKT, TOPS, and Ka-Bar had a mark up. I guess that is fair, they have to pay rent in the mall. The knife I bought did not come in the original box, they said it came from the factory that way. I assume that someone took that knife as a return and they didn't include the original box so it was placed in a jewelry gift box. That would have bugged a lot of people that save the boxes and the knives together, but I threw the box out after I have the knife.

They carry everything you need to hit the slopes, across all price ranges too. Their ski/snowboard rental prices are much better than what you would pay at the resort, and the same goes for their board maintenance and repair costs.

The last time we visited, we told them where we were headed to ski and they even pulled up the resort's live webcam to see the current conditions! Keep up the great work!
