Great place to find clothes, packs, travel gear, accessories for camping, general travel, sports…read moreetc. The staff are really friendly and helpful especially the staff in the packs section. They help you figure out the best pack for your body size, usage, etc...and they fit you too. I found that their travel accessories are definitely cheaper than other travel shops around the city. Also, a decent bike accessory section. They generally carry their own MEC clothing line so you won't likely find the more recognizable outdoor brand names here. Since it's a co-op, you just need to sign up as a member for $5 (lifetime membership) but like most places you can just use your phone number instead of carrying their card around. The one thing that sucks about this place is the lack of parking! It's located on Portage and Donald so it's only limited to street (meter) parking. And there's no street parking allowed in that area between 3:30 pm and 5:30 pm weekdays. I saw a banner that allows free 1 hour parking if you buy more than $10 worth of stuff at an Impark lot somewhere on Smith. Not sure which lot that is but obviously I didn't spot that sign until after I circled this place for 10 mins!

These guys are fantastic. The have a great selection, but more than that they are staffed with…read moreknowledgeable and responsive staff that a a pleasure to deal. If you're looking for a place to buy canadian, and find quality gear, I can't recommend these guys highly enough.

Was in here recently looking at camping stoves for this season, and the selection and price was…read morepretty good. They were very helpful on the different types, but recommended coming back a little closer to the season as there would be a better selection so I am likely going back to pick one up, As for the rest of the store lots of neat stuff for different outdoors event, sorry do not know the prices of some of these so can not comment on the overall price.

These folks are GREAT!…read more They have amazing prices and a 100% satisfaction guarantee. They are IKO certified instructors, return your calls almost immediately, and are interested in promoting Winnipeg as a world class location for this sport with year round accessibility. There is also a female instructor on staff. This may make the sport more accessible for the ladies. Gear provided for lessons and is top of the line. Land, snow, water, this sport has the fun and adventure of big mountain/ big water in the prairies!... If you want to see some gear, they have a small presence at Gords' on Donald. I started in January on the snow. I've taken 3 lessons, bought 2 kites, and i've been landing my first couple tricks already!!! Without instruction this sport is not easy to pick up. These guys accelerate the process by leaps and bounds!! They are not pushy. They match your skills with the lesson/gear appropriate. They just want you out and having fun!!!!! Group lessons get the best prices!!! Call them today. Call them!!!!

Last year I had Olympia put Salomon Prolink Classic Access bindings on my skis. A few days ago,…read moreone of the bindings broke (I'd stay away from these bindings), causing a ski to fall off and a walk back to the car. I took it into Olympia. They said it was defective and couldn't be repaired. They also said that since I didn't have the receipt, and they had lost records of past sales, they could offer me only new bindings at full price (with free labour). I'd been going to Olympia since the late 90's, but never again. (I gather they have new owners. It doesn't seem the Olympia of Lindsay and Scot.)

These guys know what they're doing. Jeff was awesome, took the time to make a non-standard repair…read more Outstanding professionalism.
