I have been a long-time fan of Patagonia apparel. They excel by focusing entirely on apparel for an…read moreactive lifestyle, and they really do cover all the bases of that. From wicking underwear to base layers to shirts and pants to windbreakers to full on parkas, Patagonia can take you naked and outfit you instantly to face the harshest of climates. Their products are extremely well-made and last a long, long time. Which is a good thing, because there's no way in hell I could afford to shop here on a regular basis. Now, this location is an outlet, meaning they sell merchandise from past seasons at a reduced price. The prices are indeed reduced heavily, but the fact that the starting price is so high means the reduced price is still high. I took a look around the store and was dismayed that I couldn't even buy a single item. Even a bra was only reduced to 27 euros. Sad face. If you are a camping nut or just enjoy being outside, this place is worthy of a stop in. Their stuff is really excellent and fun to just look at a wish for, as I do. The main drawback is that, because it is an outlet, you don't have as many options. You're definitely not seeing their full range, which is even more impressive.

Unfortunately I had another problem with a serious defect in the replacement boots while walking the Camino. Again there was no problem when I returned. They gathered the facts and agreed to replace the boots with a new pair. The customer service was friendly and helpful and common sensed! Ian in particular was great to deal with. Great place to shop.

Then I was brought my size for a try in the booties I opted for and they seemed right. I tried the next size down just to be sure. And I was. Bish bash bosh, booties got. (I love the fact they are called booties, makes me smile every time) To be honest my visit here today was rushed (as I was tight on time and knew what I wanted), but it appears to have a lot going on in the store. The Great Outdoors brand is a bit pricey though, this and their other main store around the corner are the only shops of their types on this side of town and they know it. But the staff know their stuff and they do stock a good range of gear.

It serves all of your camping, adventuring, hiking, climbing, running, jumping and general outdoorsy needs. The staff can talk the talk and I imagine that most of them are kayaking, kiting or climbing themselves silly when they're not selling outdoorsy equipment. I bought a backpack here about seven years ago and it has served me well through horrible airports, dodgy buses and wild and wonderful camping experiences. Doesn't look a day over three! Some equipment may seem expensive but it is good quality stuff so if you think you will get good use out of it then make the investment.

A rucksack I got here about 5 years ago is still going strong and it has been subjected to a reasonable level of abuse and travelling.

Maybe you're going car camping or to a festival for the weekend. You're not going to need anything major, just a cheap ole tent, a backpack, maybe some boots for a bit of hiking and a rain jacket of course. K2 has all that you need, and nothing is going to break the bank. I do think it is hilarious that the store is named K2, which is the second highest mountain on earth after Everest. Absolutely nothing sold at this store would withstand the conditions on K2. Imagine trying to sleep up there in a tent that cost 14 euros. Ha!

Maybe it's because I'm German and we tend to be fairly outdoorsy but I like my raincoat and bags to be 100% waterproof which is not necessarily a bad thing in Dublin. The store stocks most of the gear you will need for camping, hiking and all kinds of other outdoorsy pursuits. I've even brought friends here who just wanted to buy a good quality bag or backpack. Yes, it's not the cheapest brand and the staff can be a wee bit pushy trying to get you to buy things you don't really need but if you want decent outdoor gear, it's this or the Great Outdoors.

The North Face shop is strangely part of the Great Outdoors empire and not competition as it…read moreappears to be. I'm okay with this, it wouldn't be any cheaper even if it were and the Great Outdoors ain't so bad. To further Ciara K.'s point there're a few more groups that exclusive wear expensive North Face raincoats. Firstly, filmmakers, I swear if you see yourself being the next Michael Bay go out now, today, and buy a black North Face parka or you'll havve dropped the ball from day one. It's a fireable offence on set and you're likely to be sent home without pay. Well, you're not going to get paid anyway but ... And tourists, not just couples with matching jackets, which is weird but I get, no, whole groups of tourists wearing matching raincoats, usually luminous red or orange ones as well. Whether they're male, female, European, Asian, American, wet or dry it makes no difference, they're just as likely to go out looking like their nations official hill walking squad. Just check it out, I've seen old biddies on history tours doing it, lads on drinking holidays doing it, fans over for the game doing it, teenagers on language exchange doing it ... everyone's doing it! ... XD This shop could be a little more comprehensively stocked, they don't seem to have the full range of North Face clobber and I've found the size range to be limited at times. The staff have obviously been Stateside for sales bootcamp, the result being you'll need bear mace to get them off your back.
