This store is on the market square just behind the church. It runs the length of the block, and is the largest outdoor store in Kingston. It has a cafe and soft-play area inside. I was on the look-out for a specific knee-high mid-weight sock, which I've been looking for, for ages, and was delighted that they had it in stock. It'll be a regular calling point for me from now on. Reasonably friendly staff, though I only needed to speak to them at the till.

Millets is just off the market square so easy to find and travel to. It's a large store with a good…read morerange of items focusing on the value side of the market with brands such as Peter Storm. The price of outdoor gear has been going up in a crazy way over the years with new ranges each year with supposed increases in quality and technical attributes being the reason for price increases. Millets counters this to some extent by offering basics at reasonable prices which may not do the job as well as some of the top ranges but unless you are on the hills every weekend you may not even notice this. If heavy rain is likely I just stay at home so the latest waterproof is not needed!

They stock a good range of useful accessories from wind-up radios to torches and handy portable toiletry bottles (although the latter only came in a sparkly gold bag which wasn't the most macho option for a guy's travel kit). This branch was very busy, when we visited on a weekend afternoon, so not the most apt time to hope for any assistance with shoe options. The range on offer, although not huge, was practical, with good brands - like Merrell - included in the sale. The 'try-on' space was very limited too; probably best to visit here, for optimum service, during the week.

Gerrys sells airguns. It is an eclectic shop selling a myriad of goods. I'm trying to think of a common theme and probably hobbies just about covers it. You can find fishing rods (and Barbour jackets), tents, snooker cues and darts amongst the merchandise on offer. Seasonally, fireworks are also available here. The staff are knowledgeable, which is nice as a lot of chain stores train their staff so poorly that they give poor, if not downright misleading advice. I'll not panic until Gerrys changes its neon sign to say "Handguns"

All the outdoor clothing accessories you need, including shoes, jackets and even a thorn-proof knapsack. The sport of fishing is taken very seriously here too, and whatever you'd require to subsist on Nile Perch in the Upper Congo is also available. Worried about bush accommodation? A full range of tents can be found at the back of this rather expansive store. There's always something exciting about that musty tent smell, it evokes images of sipping coffee from a thermos on wild, African plains, or for some of us, the smoky, high-energy vibe of a music festival. And for more boys toys: Gerry's specializes in darts and fireworks too.

At the end of the ski season, my sister and I hit Blacks, looking for ski gear. We're not slaves to the latest styles and are quite happy to be a season out of date fashion-wise.

There is also lots of stuff for walking, hikers, climbers and campers.

But I would strongly advise against ordering…read moreanything that is "due in a few weeks" and I definitely wouldn't recommend using a Cyclescheme voucher. The communication and aftercare when things go wrong is absolutely abysmal. I ordered £3k of bike and accessories. One of the components was due in a couple of weeks, the rest was in stock. I received an email that my bike build had been booked in and was given a delivery date for my bike. The delivery date came and went. No communication at all. I contacted Sigma to be told that the component had been delayed. Only because I chased was the rest of my order sent. A couple of months passed by. No communication at all. I contacted Sigma only to be told that the component had been delayed further - by a whole year. The delay might not be their fault, but the lack of communication is. Because I ordered on the cycle to work scheme a refund was not possible. And instead was told I had £379 store credit. In the meantime I'd made an order for cash so asked if they'd be able to refund and apply some of my store credit. I was told that someone would contact me to discuss. After a couple of weeks I chased Sigma (again!) to find out how to use my £379 credit as no one contacted me. And I was told that no, they couldn't apply the store credit to my previous order. So I've been messed around, ignored, and have had nothing constructive offered to help with the situation. All I have is store credit to buy some stuff that I don't really need or want. I've been given a hollow apology - but actions speak louder than words. When things go wrong, how a company responds can make the difference between customer loyalty and never using that company again. I will not be recommending Sigma Sports to my cycling friends.

Than i contacted them in chat and they told its lost and asked what i want reship or refund. I said reship and 5 days later contacted again them and they wasnt aware about reship and said will contact me again. And they just refunded me in the end instead of reship without asking. Its just worst customer support ever. You need to wait weeks to get an update and still end up in nothing
