This is a well stocked shop which specialises in outdoor gear and skiing equipment. It is good…read morebecause it is nice and handy though I have to admit, that if I have a big purchase to get I can usually find it cheaper on the internet or in Leeds. If it just a matter of convenience this place wins hands down. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They always seem happy to help and have a good product knowledge. They can usually order things in for you if they don't have it in your size. They specialise in Ski stuff in the winter and can help with ski boot fitting. They stock some designer ski wear ranges. In summer they have a big walking selection, and are great for people who need things for scout camp or Duke of Edinburgh challenges. The range is pretty incredible for a small shop out of the main town centre.

I like it when shops go all-out with their displays! The entrance area is dedicated mainly to rucksacks...but it's downstairs where the fun starts! (There is a lift for wheelchair access). Downstairs is a huge open space with different areas helpfully signposted in Flintstones-esque type on giant wooden boards. There is a tent area with a small group of erected tents and nearby the sleeping bag area features a mannequin trying to catch forty winks while shoppers pass. They really do love their mannequin displays in Cotswold! If you're the kind of person who gets slightly creeped out having apologised after backing into someone, only to see a blank shiny plastic face staring back...then beware! There is a wide range of products here from waterproof climbing attire and ice axes to plastic crockery, kids' wellies and baby carriers. It's great for climbers, skiers, snowboarders, campers, hikers or just general travelers -it even includes a sizable section dedicated to travel books. I'd say prices are about average for outdoor shops and the staff are very helpful and knowledgeable.

What with Millets disappearing from our highstreet, there are few places for camping gear in Leeds,…read moreit seems. Well, fortunately, Cotswold Outdoor saved my bacon (and my potentially cold bum) when I needed to source out something for Beacons Festival last weekend. I ran in, in quite a flurry, and found a member of staff. My basic words were thus: "I need a sleeping bag, a tent, a chair and an air bed. All really cheap." His response: "No problem." And he was telling the truth. To be fair, I probably could have sourced out cheaper than I got, but that would have involved pre-planning and buying online. This was not an option. Nonetheless, within about 10 minutes we had all the things I needed for a few nights in a field, and all for just over £100. Pretty good. The stand out experience here though was the staff; both chaps who helped me (they even let me store my items behind the till whilst I nipped elsewhere for further shoppings), were extremely friendly, helpful and patient. All in all, I'm definitely a fan! As for what they stock? I'm sure you know the deal. Pretty much everything you need with regard to camping, active life, sports and so on. They appear to have semi regular sales on stock, so do pop in if you're in the business of festival-ing, climbing, camping and the rest!

I visited the store yesterday and wow, what a transformation! There is a new layout in place that opens up the store dramatically ( unlike other similar stores in the area ) the store is lovely and bright due to new lighting and the team are spot on, always there to offer help and genuine advice! There's no hard sell tactics which as a customer puts me at ease knowing they're not going to try to force me to buy something and as a result, more often than not I buy more than I intended to! Well done GetGeared! Your leeds store and its staff are doing a cracking job!!

That said I know that I don't *need* specific walking gear as such, but then I wouldn't exactly class as a hiker or sports person! Inside Rock One has a huge range of different outdoors items, differing mostly from J R Sports (which is immediately next door) in that it seems more about the hiking/walking outdoors than anything more. Expect to find a whole range of specialist socks, jackets, waterproofs, heavy duty rucksacks, trousers and more, which pretty much covers your every need for an intense jaunt around the hills and fields of Yorkshire!
