Ein Mitarbeiter hat mich fachkundig beraten in Sachen Badminton Schläger. Der Laden befindet sich im 1.OG des Mercado. Preislich kann ich mich nicht beschweren; ein Sonderangebot und dann noch 10% Rabatt. Ich kam auf jedenfall günstig weg. Und aufgrund des freundlichen Personals komme ich sehr gerne wieder.

My beloved Patagonia shell was on its last leg. It was hard saying goodbye. I went to SportScheck…read morein search of a worthy replacement. Hey the winter sales just started! Totally unplanned and absolutely cool. I had to spend quite a while roaming the 2nd floor of the store, looking at many different jackets to find my new rain protection. 260 euros (aouch) instead of 400 euros, not too bad. Didn't have to ask anybody for help and nobody asked if I needed any. All the staff looked busy keeping the store in order. It was a nice experience and I'll be back if I need more technical clothing.

Superb outdoor shop in Barmbek, just at the end of the U3. Actually - this is the best all round…read moreoutdoor pursuits place I've ever been too, bar none. They have a really nice building, very light and airy inside, big open staircase, and huge display areas for the million rucksacks, tents, hammocks, solar powered GPS units, huge knifes, etc etc. Very impressive range of stuff, with knowledgeable staff there to explain it all to you. I bought a small crumpler bag ideal for laptop + DSLR, and it's been great!

A very short walk from U S Barmbek. Can be reached by S-Bahn or U2 or U3. If you live in Hamburg…read morethen it's a must to go there. Yes it's on the pricey side, but Hamburg Winter's and bad weather make it the place to go to get winter jackets. Of course you can grab all the standard outdoor stuff as well. They have a massive collection and if you don't see it then take a look in the catalogue. It will make you mind boggle! The staff there are incredibly helpful and well-informed. I have even seen them help English people too, and to a high standard. And also there are some good deals sometimes. Insider tip: Grab the Globetrotter Shop card. Then you get points and cash back every quarter I believe. Plus special deals for card holders!! And they are good special deals not those silly pseudo deals.
