It is therefore ideal for anyone who enjoys outdoor activities in various environments whether it is for a picnic in your local park or high up in the Andes Mountains! This small shop caters for most trekkers' needs although it is expensive being a specialist store. I once purchased iodine sterilisation tablets for my trip abroad when I visited more rural regions, where tap water was unsafe to drink; having applied my tablets to the solution, I did not experience any illnesses. Prior to buying those tablets, I was kindly advised by a member of staff for the suitability of the product. A decent quality store but you probably won't find a bargain if that's what you're after.

The staff are very friendly and made myself and my family very welcome. As we were unprepared for the british weather we needed some warm clothing, with so much to choose from I was helped by a friendly assistant and one of the north face jackets i purchase was even half price!!! It is a very busy shop but the staff still made sure I was ok, I actually enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere from the different customers, young and old. also some great brands, lowe alpine, the north face, rab, merrell etc. I will definitely visit this store again when I am next in Liverpool and would recommend it to anyone.

They really…read moreseem to have everything you need here and at reasonable prices also so there can hardly be cause for complaint. I find places such as this to be a little confusing and as such found the same here, that was until the excellent staff directed me towards exactly what I needed. The variety in here is not great and there are bigger and better outdoor stores but this particular place had a very personal feel to it which I thought was impressive. The decor of the shop was simple but said exactly what it needed to and basically represented the ethos of the store which is simple and effective stock which does what needs to be done. On the whole I think the staff made this place for me and much credit to them for doing so.

If you're planning a long weekend at a music…read morefestival or just any outdoors experience, then good outdoors gear is essential for your very survival. A little dramatic perhaps but there's nothing worse than being caught out when all you have is a tent to hide in away from the elements. Millets is one of several outdoors stores in Liverpool city centre that you will find such essentials as waterproof clothing and walking boots. I didn't find them very expensive but this will depend on what you are after but the assistants seem to take your needs as well as budget into account should you ask their advice. This is worth doing as they come across as knowing their stuff from experience.

The North Face is an american company, specialising in outdoor clothing, such as coats and bags, as…read morewell as selling T-shirts and other branded merchandise, but still they seem to be a cross between a competitively priced store, and your high end designer outlets, so basically they are in between ALDI and a Gordon Ramsay restaurant. This store is relatively small on both floors, even though I did expect the first floor to be better, it seemed to me to be a little smaller and the range there was worse than the bottom floor. Most of the items here didn't really stand out to me, and selection was poor, and the products did catch my eye were just too pricey, with some costs over £250, which simply draws a line, I understand you have to pay more for a designer brand, but The North Face, I wouldn't say is a designer brand, just a high street retailer, which certainly doesn't warrant those prices. This store isn't the nicest of stores I have been in, I do prefer Superdry across the way for pricing too, although from the outside it looks like a nice, cool store. The staff didn't seem great or too helpful, especially with a lift incident, where I got up fine but on the return journey all the lights went off, I was in darkness and it wouldn't go down, luckily the door didn't lock and after opening the door, trying, the 3rd time I finally got out of there. I honestly thought I was going to have to see if Nando's in the Liverpool One would deliver to me for the night, if I couldn't have got out! Overall, this store is below average, with high pricing, a poorer range than what I had expected and lift issues, which I feel does not warrant 2 stars, which although it isn't terrible or the worst of the worst, still means it deserves a single one star.

The store is relatively expensive with it being specialists in its subject so don't expect to come here with a bargain in mind. However, the items they sell are all top notch and some of the brand names are well known for their quality in terms of durability which is exactly what one will need to sustain the outdoor environment. Personally, I have not bought anything from the store as I am not an adventurist although you don't necessarily have to be a camper or a climber. They also do sell casual wear such as sunglasses, socks and summer hats! It is a "nice" store as I would simply describe it and inviting to the eye.

Hey ho, for those of you who know exactly what to expect from Britain's totally unpredicatble climate, Tresspass will be one of the first ports of call for those needing camping gear, wet weather clothes and sturdy hiking boots. All of these things are essentials for camping and outdoors stuff so there so should be no need for the insecure efforts of these manufacturers to tart up their gear in bright colours and snazzy patterns. They are essential clothing but you will always look like a gump in them.

After 3 weeks of use of Sketchers. I am very disappointed…read morewith Sports Direct ( Westfield story and customers service) I followed all the steps to make a complaint, but both the store and customer service ignored my case. Employees should support the company's image, but their indifference has damaged it instead. I've shared my experience with family and friends, and word of mouth spreads fast. Poor customer care hurts a brand's reputation permanently.

TOTAL FRAUD COMPANY…read more They sold me faulty trainers then they sent me a postage label to return this and then said the parcel was lost. If the parcel is lost they should have insurance that covers this as my trainers were expensive. They chose the courier and are a huge company they have to have insurance. Whenever I contact them for refund they give me a fake time frame to respond and then do not respond. IT HAS BEEN 2 MONTHS AND NO REFUND. This company should be penalised. If for example a customer was to shoplift a pair of trainers from their store worth £65 they would be arrested and have a criminal record. There would be repercussions. However for a huge company scamming me out of my hard earned money there is no repercussion. I wish this company gets closed down as what they are doing is illegal and against the law. On Trustpilot and most other review sites this company has been scamming loads of customers and not giving a refund and many people say their parcel has been lost or never arrived. It seems like so many people are not being refunded and are just talked into a conversation that goes round in circles.
