I used to go into this place all the time when I was shopping for hiking stuff or if I was going…read morebackpacking somewhere. The reasons were pretty simple. They have good products are a pretty decent price. I've still got a good pair of Redback boots from this place, and although they're pretty old, they're still very good. Total cost was about $80 for about eight years of decent service, if not more. I've also bought a few good backpacks here, and some of the old army ammo cans are great for storing stuff. The service is good enough. I don't want shop assistants bugging me unless I ask for it, and that's exactly what I get here. I like this place quite a bit.

They got my bow in for me within couple of weeks. Recently bought a stabilizer from Urban Archery that got stuck connected to the quick detach part, they told me to come in and replaced with a brand new stabilizer. Fantastic customer service and great new showroom.

One of my purchases was a compound bow which after 3 weeks of light usage snapped. They claimed it was "user error" although I've never had any issue with my draw technique and have credible witnesses who can verify this. Under Australian consumer law the product was unsafe for which I had a right to a refund but they refused. Why would anyone shop at a store that doesn't do what's right by its (former) customers?

I much prefer this place to Rebel Sport, but really, I'm not one for shopping in sporting goods…read morestores very often. My most common use for the place is finding a decent pair of runners on special, and yes, they do have good deals from time to time. Service wise, they're a lot better than Rebel, being pretty much acceptable and efficient. Friendly, even. This place is a bit more reasonably priced than their competitor, but even so it's a bit on the high side for lots of things. Maybe that's just the retail world for you, but I prefer to save some cash and shop online for most of the stuff I find in this store.

For the serious adventurer a visit to Backpackng Light is a must…read more So the store isn't as bright and shiney as others in the area but what your missing in open space and selective lighting is made up with high quality products and knowledgable staff. My most recent visit saw me walk in with a idea, a price point and walk out with an Opsrey day pack and a huge smile. There was no pressure to upsie to a bigger or more expensive pack. There aren't any ridiculous sales happening here either. Just the usual small business seasonal sales. You get what you pay for, which is amazing service and knowledge.

The service is amazing - lovely salesperson Jess spent about 45 minutes helping me choose a running shoe and was cheerful and patient the whole time, even though she probably wanted to throw a shoe at my head. Also, if you sign up to their loyalty program and end up buying the wrong shoes, you can return them within 30 days even if they have been used once or twice - really helpful for peanuts like me, who obviously have trouble making decisions.
