I'm not a sports fan, nor will I ever be a sports person. But, when Christmastime comes and you…read moreneed to buy something for a sports fanatic, you need to visit a sporting goods store. When you first walk in to Outlaw Sports you know you're in the right place. It even smells like a sports store, whatever that means. Hockey equipment fills up most of the store with all the helmets, padding, sticks and skates they have, but they also focus on other sports too. You can buy those gloves for the golfer in the family, or the pigskin for the football fan. They even sell jerseys and little figurines. There is so much stuff in this store that it's actually quite packed and crammed in. There isn't too much space to walk around and browse with all the stuff randomly placed around the store. Of course, all the people perusing the isles don't help either. I wasn't really offered a hand with finding anything, which was crappy because it took me a while. I could have asked for help, but I had a hard time locating someone who worked there. I think they were wearing green shirts, but I can't be sure. To be honest, sports stores scare me and Outlaw was no exception. At least they've got decent stock and lots of it!

If you go way back to the back, there's a clearance section. Like their functionality of their products, whether it's clothing or those gadgets. Some were 25% off, from personal phone items to camping flashlights. Clean store, located ground level.

They didn't fit and I went to the closest store to exchange but needed to return because they didn't have my size. I got dinged $25 from my local store to send them back to B.C.. Beware if you are purchasing anything online from this store. If you have to return, it will cost money.

BAIT AND SWITCH WARNING…read more Went back here three times looking at some expensive poles they had priced on the rack for a great deal. I even discussed with a salesperson what an amazing deal it was who concurred with me. At the till that price would quadruple.

Being the stylish lady that I am, I also like to look good on the slopes. I'm pretty sure that the ski cellar has existed in Calgary for time immemorial, but their website says fifty years. Well, that's still a lot older than I am! This is the place my dad first took me to gear up when I was learning to ski, and I like to go back because of their excellent selection of gear. They have tons of stuff: jackets and goggles and balaklavas and my personal favourite, toques. They have a ton of actual gear too: boots and bindings and skis and snowboards for both adults and kids, which makes it a pretty good destination for individuals but an excellent one for families. The smart shopper catches their sales in the spring, but if you're just getting into winter sports the prices are pretty reasonable. I definitely have some love for the Ski Cellar Snowboard, and this is one of my favourite locations.

After using the same jacket for 7 years, probably longer it wasn't even warm anymore and I was sick of being cold skiing. I found this awesome Burton AK jacket and the only location to have my size was this one. So we headed down. I can't remember the names, but it's an older lady and a total ski dude, both wicked nice and helpful. After a couple trips here I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy the jacket, and I am so glad I did. They know their products and they have tons of selection.
