Wow, the YETI mug celebrating Americas 250th was in the window and I could not deny purchasing. Backstory is I was in Leavenworth and noticed this in window but forgot to buy it. So I came back a few weeks later praying someone didn't purchase. To my luck it wasn't. Dee Sportsman is a cool local sporting goods store catering to the Call of the Wild activity's people desire to partake in Leavenworth. For me all I wanted was my YETI mug and yes I'm now a proud owner of it. $40 later but well worth the purchase. How often with our 250th Anniversary of our country happen? Used it immediately and love it... read more

Der Sportsmann - My new Yeti I just bought.. - Sporting Goods Near Me - Leavenworth, Washington

We rented e bikes to ride on the ski hill. They had just got their ebike in and had to put them together for us. Happy to do it. Even put together an extra one for me so I had two choices of bikes. They let us do a have day instead of a whole day . They let us keep a change of clothes there. They we so helpful and friendly. We will definitely do that again. So much fun and they made it easy. Since we were able to do a half day it was cheaper then the other place we checked. read more

Der Sportsmann - 34th anniversary mountain e bike ride - Sporting Goods Near Me - Leavenworth, Washington

Der Sportsmann is always one of our first stops in Leavenworth, because my wife continually loses her gloves, and we end up buying a new pair here immediately upon arrival! What was once a minor inconvenience has now become both an in-joke and a holiday tradition! The apparel and accessories here are all high quality, stylish, and reasonably priced. Everything from coats, shirts, pants, thermals, boots (snow & hiking), hats and everything else you would need to bundle up in the snow can be found here. Additionally, all manner of sporting goods, from knives to canteens, survival goods, fishing gear (rods, tackle, etc), skis, snowboards, sleds (great for that awesome sledding hill in Front Street Park!) are available here as well, making Der Sportsmann your one-stop shop for all outdoor odysseys and endeavors in the Leavenworth area! read more

Best place for outdoor gear in town. Helpful, knowledgeable staff. great selection. Will recommend to everyone I know.

Good selection reasonable prices, well stocked and friendly, helpful staff. Recommended if you need some fishing our outdoor adventure supplies when in the area. read more

Fantastic outdoors supply store located in the middle of Leavenworth town proper. We came here to buy a couple of fuel cannisters prior to our Enchantments over night trek. Absolutely an upstanding crew of staff members who were so helpful and friendly. They were so keen on accepting our used cannisters for recycling following the closure to our backcountry trip. They have all the gear you'll need prior to setting out on your adventures too. Not only did we pick up the aforementioned fuel cannisters, but we did grab a handy, minimalist map of the Enchantments before our trek (for $16, however). Then following, we did eye some beautiful trucker hats with an artistic rendition of Prusik Peak. They close at 6pm and are closed on Sundays, so do bare this in mind in case you are relying on them for a pre-backcountry supply run. Loved the folks here at DER SPORTSMANN! read more

Went into Der Sportsmann tonight after my daughter's boot began to come apart. Joey helped us figure out a fix for the walk home - he was friendly, resourceful and went out of his way to help us. Much appreciated and we'll be back! read more

Service Selection, and the only cool store to visit, especially after your wife has dragged you around to 50 souvenir shops all selling the same stuff! read more

No line to rent xcountry skis, which was nice, however the guy gave me 2 Right boots! Didn't notice until I got back to our rental to go skiing and bummer- can't go until I drive back, find parking (yuck) and exchange the boot. To add insult to injury, the curly-haired guy who handed me 2 right boots asks "didn't you try them on?!" (No, because my feet are the same size...Why would I need to try on both boots?) Instead of being snarky though I just asked if I could please get a discount for having to come back- like a second days' free rental. You can guess by this posting how he answered. They are lucky they're the only place around anymore to rent skis. read more

Very rude got accused and inappropriately profiled for Shoplifting! So I had some tackle and I went up stairs to look at some jackets and I tried on a couple but never got one anyway I accidentally left the tackle I was going to buy upstairs and came back downstairs then the guy working there said "Hey where's that tackle you brought up stairs?" And I said oh my bad I left it up stairs let me go grab it and I'll pay for it he came upstairs with me and said "I feel like you have stolen stuff from here a couple times" and I said no I think your mistaken then he said "yea I think your gonna have to leave the store immediately" like are you fucking kidding me right now and then he said "also don't even think about ever coming back again or I will call the police" again very rude and unacceptable I don't recommend coming here at all! read more

Stopped in for some needed supplies during a camping trip after talking to the staff on the phone. I spent 45 minutes on the road to get to the shop, and as I walked up at 6:05 PM they locked the door and told me they were closed. The hours online and posted on the door (see pic) stated clearly they were open until 7:00 PM on Sundays. read more

Der Sportsmann - Sporting Goods Near Me - Leavenworth, Washington

Rented a bike from Der...the guys working were attentive friendly and gave me great guidance on some outstanding trails off of Ski Hill Road. Keep up the great work read more

Upon my first few steps into the store, I wasn't really sure this store was for me. Lots of hunting and fishing gear up front - neither activity I have much interest in. Keep going - oh hey, clearance section on winter hats. 40% off floor model Nordic sweaters. Wandering around I found several interesting books, a whole wall full of hiking shoes and boots, a larger clearance section upstairs and a cute wool hat. Hmmm- maybe this place does have a few things for me after all. The staff was knowledgeable and kind with questions. They genuinely seemed to enjoy chatting with the customers about historical Nordic sweater designs, best snowshoeing near town, rain gear, etc. I heard all kinds of topical snippets as I moved about the store. In the end, we found a few new items to add to the proverbial wishlist. For him, we did buy a heavy field and stream flannel that was marked down about $20. He goes through shirts like this so fast it seems. So when we find a nice flannel shirt like this at almost half price? Sold! read more

The staff were SO helpful and friendly to me and my boys. Very knowledgeable about outdoor gear and knives. Great price on kids snow gloves, if it weren't for COVID, I'd want to shop in there and chat with the fun staff all day! read more

Der Sportsmann - Knives we got- my son says they are "super hardcore awesome". :P - Sporting Goods Near Me - Leavenworth, Washington

What a great store with amazing staff! Nice products for all your outdoor needs. We were in town for a few days and my friend purchased a pair of snow boots from this store. The staff was incredibly helpful. While we were leaving, my husband saw a hat in the window that he liked. We came back later to purchase it but couldn't find it. The employee that helped us searched the entire store and his inventory but couldn't find it, so he climbed into the window display to get us that hat! read more

Used Der Sportsmann to rent 2 sets of snow shoes. They advertise that they open at 9, but when I arrived at 9 the doors were locked and lights were off. I called and waited until about 9:15 and there was still no one around. Finally by 9:40 someone answered the phone. Rentals were super easy to arrange, minus the fact that hey didn't have any poles available. I believe the rentals were $18 each and lasted for about 6 hours. Very convenient access downtown. read more

This is a phenomenal store, with specific areas for all major sports, from mountaineering to biking to hiking to golfing to camping to fishing and more. I've seen sporting items I couldn't recognize, so I know they're pretty sport-specific (hey, I did a Danskin triathlon a few years back and my kids are involved in various team sports and track, so I know of the basic equipment in many sports). I was impressed by the selection and the expertise of staff here, as I overheard a few conversations as I browsed the store. My kids liked the rain jackets and sports apparel which was pricey but of high quality. The only issue I have with this store is all the dead, stuffed animals on the wall. If taxidermy is your thing, you'll love all the deer heads and elk and the mountain lion. I realize lots of folks hunt and hunting is considered a sport, but I personally don't care to look at dead animals. And the display really, really bothered my youngest kid. I say this so readers will know before you go. FYI. read more

I was looking for lightweight, weatherproof/waterproof/insulated boots to wear on my cold weather road trip. Walked into Der Sportsmann and a very knowledgeable young man showed the boots he knew would be perfect. He was right! My feet were toaster streudel warm all day long! I recommend this place for all your hiking needs. Mutts are welcome inside the store. Really a great place read more

My Family and I go to Leavenworth about 4 times a year, and every time my intentions are to avoid this place. But since it's one of the only shops that has outdoor gear I always stop in. And every time it's the worst service of all the stores. It's almost a guarantee that you will receive no help since the workers are typically chatting it up with friends or hitting on a girl. I usually go in to buy a few bench made knives and sunglasses, I literally plan on spending over $500. Yet I can stand right in front of a worker and stare at him and be completely ignored. This time I chose to quit starting and found another worker, when I did he seemed uninterested and called over "Jake" (I think) who was the same employee who was too busy talking to help. I'm done, it's cheaper online anyways. We wonder why stores are closing and I say this is why; poor customer service, better just to shop online. read more

Bought a pair of Olukai's here. Wore them for half a day and a wear spot on my foot started to bother me. Some plastic under the strap was sticking out and only after wearing them does it become noticeable. I purchased them yesterday and went back to the store with my receipt. They refused to do anything or offer any help. "You need to go to Olukai" was their response. This is frustrating. I have not had a store refuse to make an exchange (wasn't asking to return....even just the left flip flop) on a clothing item that had a defect. read more

Great customer service. The guys working really took their time explaining the different options for a successful fishing experience. The shop itself is great! Great selection of quality gear and clothing from some great brands. A little bit of everything.... more than expected actually! read more

Der Sportsmann - Sporting Goods Near Me - Leavenworth, Washington

I went here while visiting Leavenworth for the weekend in a desperate attempt to find some kind of sweatpant/yoga pant, basically anything comfortable since I came down with the flu as soon as we got there. We went to every clothing store in the town with no luck before coming here. You'd think in a sporting goods store you could find some yoga pants or some sort of athletic pant, no luck. Luckily they had some men's sweatpants in size XXL for $15 I settled for, boy was a I looker in those. The sales people were helpful, but they lack much variety. read more

Nice guys! I came in looking for information on local fishing regulations and hadn't even planned on buying anything. After talking with the guys at the counter briefly and even selecting a few places to try my luck, I bought a few lures and hooks just because. I kinda needed them, but I also wanted to support a business with such great help. Thanks again for the info, guys! read more

Absolutely awesome staff and very reasonable prices. The team were so helpful and friendly. Needed new tips for my trekking poles after 2400 miles on the Pacific Crest Trail, and John from the store kindly switched them out for me himself, and made time to chat about how the trail had been. Found the prices very reasonable as well - cheapest price for a fuel canister on the whole PCT. Highly recommend Der Sportsmann. read more

Beyond great service!! Really needed clothing after a fishing trip got extended and the two gentle man went above and beyond to help us right as the store was closing. The last shirt of a long sleeve style was way up on the wall on display and they climbed up to retrieve it, THEN offered to steam it so my husband could wear it that day! Kudos to the guys working this evening! read more

The staff was fantastic and even gave us tips on where to go snow shoeing! So thankful for how easy it was to rent equipment from Der Sportsmann! read more

My hiking boots gave out and I came here to get some new ones. I came here first because I read that the other sports store in town was rude to people. I got very good help here and found Boots that fit pretty well and I'm quite satisfied. Great customer service. read more

Great store, great people. I bought my son a bike there a two years ago, and Dwayne was great. This past weekend I wanted a bike and although they didn't have my size, I ordered a bike from Jordan and will have it in a couple weeks. Eventhough I live in Seattle where bike stores are abundant, I get a better price and more personalized service from der Sportsman. Most of all Jordan knew what he was talking about, and he does it with a great sense of humour! Can't wait to pick it up. (This all happened on a busy Satuday and still got one on one service!) Great customer service. read more

This store had the gear and clothing we needed for our hiking adventure up to Lake Colchuck. The staff was very helpful/knowledgeable and the prices were the same we'd pay back home in Seattle. Thanks Der Sportsmann. We'll be back! read more

Der Sportsman is the spot for everything you need to enjoy the beautiful outdoors.... and they also have the sweetest and most accommodating, fun people working there. Highly recommended for top notch customer service and quality apparel/equipment :) read more

Probably one of the only stores I bought non-food items from. The store had great quality and name-brand outdoor gear. I was able to get new hiking boots for a great price, along with wool socks, and a tank top. A great outdoor outfitter shop in the middle of the mountains perfect for a quick fix of whatever you need. read more

Very helpful and nice staff. Prices were very decent compared to Seattle sale prices. I needed to get boots while in town and thought i was going to have to pay out the nose for them. Surprisingly I got them for under $100 and they were perfect. Selection is small but good enough if you are in need. They had a lot there for cold weather so if you forget something or need a quick pair of warm outdoor gloves they probly got them. read more

Went in tonight looking for a non-icing spray for my "rubber" bottom X-C skis. I couldn't remember exactly what it was called so I explained what I was looking for as best as I could. They looked through what they had and didn't have it. I said that was okay but the two gentlemen who helped me wanted to at least get me a name of what it was called so they went on the internet and found it, then they called another local ski/bike shop who happen to have some in stock. They gave me directions and I went on my way and bought what I needed. The customer service provided by der Sportsman was way beyond what I expected! They truly are customer service oriented! I wish every store was like this, going over and above just the "normal" type helping. read more

Love this place!! I was staying at the spa down the street for our anniversary and forgot my swim suit of all things...in October! They were so kind and helpful and went through their back storage to help me find a suit. I'll definitely return next time I'm in Leavenworth - amazing owners and customer service!! read more

They took very good care of my husband and his bike.

Wonderful customer service here, they'll go out of their way to help you. While in store to purchase a fishing license, I accidentally left my ID in store - the employees were very gracious to go out of their way to mail it out to me since I wouldn't be able to get back there for some time. Good selection here with a large variety of outdoor supplies. Will certainly be back next time I'm in Leavenworth. read more
