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.

Costco (including a gas station) & several other shopping opportunities are nearby. So is easy access to Loop 289.

We were immediately greeted by a nice lady who knew exactly what I described to her since it wasn't on the floor and promptly assisted me by grabbing a black double pistol case - that also holds 6 mags - from the back. I have already ironed on a bunch of my patches I had been storing for years. Love it - especially for the price: $43.30 including tax. It's sturdy and has been easy to use during several trips to the range this far. Thanks also to this employee for directing my daughters to the clean restroom. Dressing rooms were available if you need to try on tactical pants, etc. Free nearby parking.

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.
