Sure, it's pricey, but when it comes to performance sporting goods and gear, you get what you pay for. Their sales, however, are excellent: their current buy one, get one 50% off promotion is hard to beat! I've been at this location more frequently as of late since I've been looking to invest in quality trail running shoes for my wonky feet. I've had to make an exchange and a return and each time, the sales associates were helpful and approachable. Plus, I didn't get the third degree about why the shoes didn't work out (I suppose it helps that I didn't go run a Muderella and then try to return them, but whatever!) My husband and I were always greeted, and no one hovered as we shopped. Great selection for such a relatively small space and so close to home! read more

Service, selection and value. What else can I say? This place is amazing. The management is out of this world too.

Great experience all around. Great communication from purchase to pickup on a new bike purchase for my son. It was assembled perfectly prior to pickup by the awesome guys in the service dept and they were very friendly and contacted me several times letting me know it was ready for pickup and that they could also hold it through the holidays if that was more convenient for me. Pickup was seamless and the whole experience was A+. read more

My visit yesterday brought me in to try on & look at a light Patagonia jacket. I was pleased to be greeted by a cheerful "hello" as soon as I walked in. Upon going to the jackets / coat area, another employee walked up & spoke to me. He was super knowledgeable about Patagonia, The North Face, Mountain Hardwear & a few other brands. I mean, the guy was rattling off facts, pros & cons like he was the spec sheet! He answered any & every question I had, even walked around trying to find other jackets that fit my need. While I didn't purchase a jacket (unfortunately, the price was way too high & I found one online for 50% off their price), I felt more confident about buying the Patagonia one after talking to the employee. As Chad said, there weren't too many people in the store when I was there either. However, it was 3:30 PM on a weekday. Perhaps they're busier on the weekends. They do have you covered as gear is concerned - just like the name implies: Sun & Ski. Hehe. Coats, jackets, ski wear, skis, footwear. John pointed out & I agree, their sales & clearance racks had some nice stuff on it & in bigger sizes, too. Racks & displays are neat & organized & items priced. I'm not too big into the outdoors, so unfortunately, this won't be a regular shopping stop for me. read more

Sun & Ski Sports - Outdoor Gear Near Me - Concord, North Carolina

Be warned! Once they have your money they will not refund it!! The store "performance guarantee" was not mentioned at the time of purchase. I was told if I did not like them to return them. I wore the Hoka shoes that I bought one day to work and my feet hurt horribly!! Upon attempting to return them I was informed about the "performance guarantee" and that I could not get my money back. So...you can not know if the item purchased will meet your performance requirements and if not get your money back. The store manager got Involved and tried to give a gift card or send another pair of shoes from a store in Oklahoma to my house. I won't be home for a couple more weeks because I work with NASCAR. How will I know if I like them and if not return them within the time limit for the "performance guarantee"? Frustrating situation that was in resolved! Spent over $100 on shoes that I can not wear! Buy your shoes from somewhere with a better policy! read more

I had a good experience with their service, and I am in the a biking team, so I really appreciate what they do. But I have talked with the team I am with, and they said that they were a little pricey, and that there were better stores out there. I haven't tried the other stores, and I haven't come across any issues with Sun & Ski Sports, so I don't think they should have stars deducted from the review. read more

This is my equivalent to a "candy" shop for the time being. Where else can you grab some snowboarding gear and turn around and also get some cycle gear in the same store? I noticed a lot of the items are quite specialized (and therefore expensive), but they do have pretty decent sales and clearance racks here. It's always a good thing to go digging around and finding something for a great price that you like. The staff here are fairly knowledgeable and will give you good advice (in my experience). They will probably stop treating me nicely once they figure out I will just be "looking" at bikes for the longest time before actually purchasing one. read more

Service personnel are super friendly and helpful. Store is well organized and fully stocked. Items are expensive, expect to pay full manufacturer price. Nice location in the mall, occupies a huge space like any other outdoor store would. read more

Sun & Ski is pretty much as the name suggests. It's primarily dedicated to cold weather sports. Sort of a niche market presence. I imagine they do most business in the winter however, with Lake Norman not far away there is a big market in the area for water sports too. Their biggest sections would be bikes (all types including on and off road) including a maintenance shop, snowboarding and skiing, extensive shoe selection and lots of seasonally appropriate apparel. Generally this place will satisfy your outdoor extreme sports itch if it is a specific one for the above sports. But I definitely wouldn't recommend them as a choice location for hikers, climbers and campers. If you can manage to get to REI it would be better for you. And if you're the more rugged outdoorsy type, the Bass Pro Shop at the other end of the mall is preferable. read more

Just got my bike fixed in 10 minutes by Tyler in the Bike Shop. They had me in and out in 10 minutes and were so helpful. Thanks Tyler!!!

Been there like 10 times the last 2 weeks to do some comparison shopping. All the associates have been super nice and helpful. They have a lot of knowledge about the products. read more

I didn't actually buy anything while I was in here, but I was amazed with the amount of quality gear they have for so many different sports. I could easily spend an entire day in this place playing with all the fun toys because they have something for every sport I love. They have gear for snowboarding, water and snow skiing, wake boarding, mountain and road biking, skate boarding, and the list goes on. Unlike the limited supply found at most sporting goods stores, they have a variety of brands and merchandise to choose from for each sport. I was impressed with the number of snowboards they had on the floor. I enjoyed looking through all the ski jackets and winter coats they had and I was impressed again by the variety. The only downfall is their prices are high and I didn't see any sale signs. They could at least start with high prices and mark them down to make it look like I'm getting a deal. For some reason that always makes me feel better. I will be back for more browsing in the future but I'll probably have to save up before making any purchases. read more

Sun and Ski is a decent all around Outdoor Sports store. I have wandered around here many a time looking at various clothing for running and winter sports. I will say that they lack seriously in the cycling apparel department. They have 2 racks (1 clearance) for women and it was mostly shorts. If you are looking for cycling apparel then stick to Bike stores that concentrate on this or buy online. Their hiking supplies are a little limited as well and pricey but you can find some small items in abundance. They do however, have helpful staff especially when dealing with their Yakima selection. All in all, Sun and ski is so general that if you want a good selection in one area of activity then it's best to find a store that specializes in that. read more

thia place is one of my favorite spots to shop for gear. you can get everything from wakeboarding to biking to snowboarding, clothes, shoes, jackets and on and on. the customer service is so good. they can seriously tell you exactly why one jacket is better than another and will help teach you how to use equipment before you leave. their website is pretty great too and you can find sales online that you don't find in the store. good deal! read more
