I went with a friend to Redding Sports when he needed bike parts and camping gear for a family reunion. The employees were attentive to both of us although I let them know that I was not doing any buying. I pay attention to customer service because my job involves customer service all day. Their merchandise is high quality. I especially liked the women's clothes. Personally I don't think that you have to be sports-minded at all to enjoy shopping at this store. They have lots to choose from. Parking could be a problem when they get busy. read more

I came in here a few days ago looking for a new pair of running shoes. Justine helped me find exactly what I was looking for. I'm totally happy with my new purchase. read more

Wow! The staff here was so knowledgable and friendly. They were a huge help. We were on a road trip and we were so glad we stopped here. Close to the freeways too. read more

Redding Sports - Outdoor Gear Near Me - Redding, California

Redding's equivalent of a chain of outfitting stores known by 3 initials. Very well supplied and the customer service was great. Prices seem high, though. read more

A great place to get gear for nearly anything outdoors. They carry great gear and have very fair prices. Their staff is also very warm and very knowledgeable. They're all into outdoor sports and can give solid advice without being pushy at all. You will never get service like that at a big sporting goods store. You will not be disappointed! read more

I bought a bike at another LBS (local bike store) but I find myself nearly always bringing it into Sports Ltd. for repairs and tune-ups. Nothing against the other store, they're great people and will treat you fair. But Sports Ltd consistently trumps them on the customer experience. For one thing, Sports Ltd is fairly centrally located not far off one of the spurs of the Sacramento River Trail. Most importantly, they have long hours and a quick turnaround. I don't think I've ever had to leave my bike there over night. They have a great selection of gear and the guys are pretty damn friendly. Someone once said you don't buy the bike, you buy the store. If that's true, then when I buy my next bike, you can be sure I'll be buying it from Sports Ltd. read more

Wow. We are from Santa Cruz and my husband came into to rent a mountain bike. The staff was all SO helpful and kind. I had been to another chain sporting good store down the street earlier that day looking for a backpack. When I came here I was blown away by the selection! They had 4x the amount of backpack selections! They had such a full stock of everything, competitive prices and a great staff. I was very impressed with this store! read more

Sports ltd is boring to go to but has very good items.Backpackers will have a ball shopping there.

John in the bike shop did a great job with my bike. Prices are fair and they are always kind/receptive.

Skip the chain store. Their selection of top quality products is excellent. The staff was friendly, knowledgable and helpful.

I purchased a Trek road bike from John Stein followed by my first Stumpjumper mountain bike in 1983. After he began working for Alpine Outfitters I bought another Stumpjumper and a Rockhopper for my wife in 1996. Though the business is now Sports Ltd., John and the entire crew of the bike shop continue to provide the same friendly, honest advice and consistently superlative service at a fair price. Thanks to John's remarkable experience, knowledge, and always frank and candid assessments, I recently sought his advice in selecting a new mountain bike, and just today purchased a 2017 Specialized Camber Comp for September delivery. There are other really good local bike shops here in Redding, but after 35 years of excellent products and service, we will continue to patronize and recommend John Stein and Sports Ltd. read more

My wife bought me a sleeping pad when I was headed out of town for a fire. She couldn't find the one I originally wanted so she bought one here. I ended up finding the one I was looking for (for a lot cheaper) so I took the other one back to Sports LTD to return it. I literally never even unraveled or used the pad, just put it in the cab of the fire engine. The manager told the sales associate that they wouldn't take the return because a couple tiny smudges saying it was "dirty and couldn't be resold". Which is nonsense because it is still BRAND NEW. Terrible customer service and over priced. read more

I have shopped at Redding Sports LTD several times over the years. We have purchased technical climbing equipment, clothing, shoes, accessories, rented skis, purchased skis, and always been treated well. About a year ago my GF April and I were in the market for her first mountain bike. I bought my first bike from John Stein when he worked at The Sports Cottage (now closed). He treated me well and helped solve some issues I have due to my height and size. I later got to know John well through a shared interest in Geocaching. So we made a few trips to Sports LTD and talked with John and his bike staff about options. We also visited the other bike stores in town. We returned to Sports LTD for the purchase. John and his staff listened to April's needs for her bike and made some excellent recommendations on how to customize a bike for her. She ended up with a bike that she enjoys very much. Thank you! read more

Exceptional customer service at Sports LTD. One of the senior employees sat me down to fit some boots when I first got into backpacking. Can't believe he told me that expensive boots do not always equal a good fit. Lets take time to find what works best for you. I have been using thier store since 2000 and expect that to continue for a long time. read more

These guys are great. I dont know a ton about cycling and they get a lot of that from customers im sure. I am learning a ton and want more every time i go in there They are passionate about bikes. I asked a lot of questions and they didnt blow me off. I didnt spend alot of money, but they were not offended i didnt spend more.They gave me great service with a smile. I will most likely be back regularly to get odds and ends fixing all our bikes. I would recommend them to anyone. Great bunch of guys thanks sports ltd! read more

The team at Sports LTD is the best..very knowledgeable about everything they carry..Bought a awesome pair of hiking boots to day that I am very excited about..but the incredible customer service made me even happier..can't say that about any of their so called competitors...Jen read more

I special ordered a Specialized Sequoia Gravel Bike from Sports LTD in June. When my new bike arrived, their Mechanic Joe assembled it and had it ready the day it was promised! I have so far put about 1,000 miles on it and have had absolutely no issues. Great place & great bike! Thanks Redding Sports LTD! read more

Excellent selection of high end sporting goods. Great for backpacking, hiking, kayaking, mountain biking, and the like. Highest quality gear in Redding. Be prepared to spend a good deal of money, but I've always left happy. Staff is knowledgable and helpful. read more

I have shopped at Sports LTD for years. I was very disappointed in the way I was treated when returning 4 sets of ski rental equipment. When I asked if I could have a store credit on a rental because we had to rent at the mountain for my 11 year old son because the boots and ski's didn't fit right. I was meet with accusations instead of good customer service. They argued with me over what amounted to $25. And they lost a customer that has spent thousands over the years on bikes, camping, and clothing. read more

Great experience every time I go! Staff is friendly and knowledgeable and willing to lend a hand when needed. Large selection of quality gear no matter the sport you are interested in. read more

I placed an order over 2 weeks ago and still haven't received it yet. Shipping is slow as s***. I got a notification saying my package was "shipped" on Sept. 2. Nope, they held onto the package for 4 more days before it actually got to the post office - didn't ship until Sept. 6 and I still don't have it and today is Sept. 15. I would have purchased elsewhere if I'd known it would take this long. I'm sticking w/ REI from now on...faster (free) shipping, and guarantees on all items. read more

Been going here for years. Usually better quality stuff than the box stores. Great bike shop. Also good for backpacking gear, flash lights, snow boards/ski equipment, read more

Nice sports shop, has pretty much anything you need to enjoy the outdoors. Nice selection of merchandise. We purchased hiking boots and shirts. Also rented 2 bikes for a few hour ride along the river trail, nice bikes, helpful & friendly staff. read more

The guys in the ski rental shop had quite some attitude; we flew from across the country to rent from them and bring their gear to BEND, OR. We wanted to support our local business and they insisted on giving us a hard time about travel time. Not impressed. read more

My husband saw a watch that he loved here while out of town and months later I contacted the store to have it sent as my wedding gift to him. They were so helpful and sent it out immediately so that I received it in plenty of time for our special day. I was very impressed with their service. I will definitely go back when I am in the area! read more

Sports Ltd is always a great place for anything involving outdoor sports. They always have wonderful customer service. Employees that know their stuff because they actually partake in the sports too. The selection is awesome from hiking boots, firefighting boots, rock climbing gear, backpacking gear, clothing, biking, glasses, and a ton more. Definetly love this place and have spent soon much over the years. Thanks guys keep it up read more

With out a doubt the classiest out door shop in Redding. Over the years numerous times I've needed odds and ends to get on the slopes and every time they hooked me up, 2 or three times free of charge. I just bought my sons first snowboard there and would recommend anyone do business here before Any other sporting shop in Redding! read more

Great place for outdoor equipment and accessories. The bike shop is exceptional, their staff is quick to help and answer questions and never tries to pressure you to make a purchase. They will help you find the best deal within your price range, and will even order in bikes for you to test drive. If you need to go in to get some work done on your bike, they are great about helping you find the best value for repairs or maintenance. Best of all, they are consistent about answering questions and providing information without ever being condescending. I can't speak highly enough of Sports LTD! read more

Wow! Best experience I've had in ANY store in a long time. The item I needed hadn't been received yet and I was okay with coming back the next day; however, the manager had her team make sure they received what I needed quickly. No way a big box store would have done this! Keep your money local and you support our community and get superior customer service. read more

I have ordered snowboard bindings november 9. Since this day i haven't receive no any notice from they. When I asked for status of order, they said that order haven't been even shiped, cause my shipping adress looks pretty suspicious. Now november 18, they got my money, but i have no chance get my order. it is my most horrible shopping experience. read more

As an avid outdoor enthusiast I have shopped here since they opened 16 years ago. The staff have always been friendly. I bought a slackline kit at Redding Sports right before Christmas for my kids as the one I ordered from Santa was not going to arrive in time. Well two days before Christmas my slackline from Santa arrived. I decided to return the one from Redding Sports as it was considerably more expensive for the same product and the product had never been opened. When I took it in the staff person told me that the return window had passed (by 4 days) and they needed to check with the manager before they could issue a refund. I live about 50 miles away and this was the first time I had been to Redding since Christmas. The employee said she did not think it would be a problem however. Well...the manager said no so I took store credit as a last resort. I told the store employee that I would no longer be shopping there (except for the store credit part) and that I was going to post a review about the incident. The employee seemed indifferent to this and now here we are. . read more
