There's a few sporting shops that have carved out a little enclave for themselves on Whitchurch…read moreRoad, and this one has to be my favourite. It is a really large outlet that is incredibly well stocked, with all manner of gear. You can even buy archery equipment here!!! (Not that this is what I come here for... I'm lethal enough without needing to resort to using something like a bow and arrow! My car is the only potentially dangerous piece of machinery that I'll allow myself to use... I give everything else a wide birth!) My needs that Cardiff Sportsgear meets are of a much more mundane variety. I come here for my swim suits, as I tend to call in at RatRigs, the surf shop just down the road, whilst I'm about it.. (RatRigs have a sale on a the moment, and so I called into both last week to scoop up a couple of bargains. Sadly, Cardiff Sportsgear didn't have what I was looking for in my size on this occasion, (a Speedo with long legs, like the type of suit that competitive swimmers wear... something that is proving nigh on impossible to find)... The staff were really helpful, and said that if I knew exactly what I wanted, then they would happily order it for me. Great service!

Wowee! Whatever sport you're into you will undoubtedly be incredibly impressed by Cardiff…read moreSportsgear. They offer: racquets, cricket gear, pool table, gym equipment, riding helmets, wetsuits, and so much more! Whenever I come in here with friends we like to play a game of how many sports we can count (at least 25 last count). The staff are all incredibly friendly and know their stock well (surprising considering how big this place is). The only thing they don't have much in the way of is, gym clothes, which is ironically the only thing I need.

Specialising in fishing accessories they're is so much good equipment here you shouldn't need to look elsewhere. If your planning a fishing trip stop by here and get supplies it's a one stop shop for all your needs. Specialty clothing is also well stocked and if they don't have your size they will order it in. For the serious fly fishermen/sportsman this is the shop for you.

A good, old fashioned Sporting Guns and Fishing Tackle shop. This kind of place is hard to come by…read morethese days and they stay away from modern shopping centres and high streets. Although the Internet has taken over with sales of areas such as these, the opportunity to talk to an expert or someone passionate about the trade is an important and often of great importance. This is obviously a shop aimed at the serious enthusiast, someone who knows what's what and who knows the ins and outs of the industry. The nice thing about seeing places such as this on the street is that they remind of a time when expertise and local business ruled. Now it is far too easy to log online with a credit card and wait for delivery. If there was some kind of Zombie outbreak I'd like to be round the corner from this place, the armoury in the window is impressive enough...

Everyone has a favourite shop, whether you're male, female or somewhere in between and, for me,…read moreit's Cardiff Sportsgear. If you live an active sporting lifestyle, this shop is the greatest thing to hit Wales since coal. As an active person, I have seen the inside of many sports shops and outlets over the years and I can say, without a shadow of doubt, this shop is a clear winner by a country mile. While shops like JJB and SportsDirect may have the name value as an international brand, Cardiff Sportsgear has an unrivalled variety, selection and specificity that you won't find anywhere else. If there is something you need for your chosen sport, Cardiff Sportsgear will have it; be it training equipment, supplements, clothing, boots; you name it, they will have it. No matter what your sport is, they will cater for you better than any other high street sports shop, whether you're a budding footballer, an avid martial artists or even a sharp shooting archer. Definitely worth a visit.

Part of a large chain, this is one of those Sports Shops that works on the 'pile-'em-high,…read moresell-'em-cheap' philosophy. It's hard to navigate the store for racks and two-tier displays of reduced-price branded sportswear, just as it's hard to imagine buying anything here that wasn't in a sale. The interior is so chock-full it's almost intimidating the antithesis of a pleasant retailing environment. Some of the stock is sold straight from boxes, which adds the bargain-shop feel. That said, if you're prepared to look, and know what you want, there are some real sportswear bargains to be had, and the youthful staff seemed genuinely eager to help (and good at managing the queue to serve first-comers first). So worth a look if you want something specific, but not really suited to casual browsing. NB This is a different chain from the 'Giles Sports' shops.

The first thing that struck me about this place was just how big it is. It really has the largest…read moreselection of outdoors stuff I've seen. It even has a climbing wall so you can test our your gear before even leaving the shop! I first caught a glimpse of the back end of the shop when I was on the train going somewhere and could just see all these tents. Intrigued I went to have a look when I after some outdoorsy christmas presents. There was almost too much choice and whats more that had lots of reasonably priced gear as well as the high end stuff. I picked up a bargain pair of walking boots and left before I could eye up anything else to buy. Really good choice and value.

Apparently will not replace anything that does not have a guarantee and the manager Gareth does not know what the line 'this does not affect your statutory rights' mean. So they are quite happy to fraudulently convince customers that they cannot replace/repair or refund when that customer is legally entitled to one. Only bad review I have given a store in my 40 years, quite simply a horrible, horrible business who are doing their best to screw you. They hate their customers with a passion. I spent a grand in there and now have nothing to show for it, they are worse than thieves. In the end the joke in on them, going out this week to buy whole new sets of horse riding gear for my 2 daughters, and a whole new tent set up and will be spending that in another store. So to save themselves a quick buck they are losing nearly 2 grand of income, which admittedly is not much to them! Word of warning all their own brands tents are designed to fail and they will assure you there is no way of repairing or replacing parts, forcing you to buy a whole new tent!

The front windows full of guns and overalls, and the inside barely seem like the store makes any money, as the distressed paintwork and poor store fittings suggest. If I were inclined to camp they would be able to provide me with a gas stove and suitable Glastonbury attire but on the whole there stock is more aimed at the game hunter or fishermen, camouflage gear being the order of the day strewn up on every shelf.

Are you in need of army gear? Are you planning on camping in the jungle, tracking a bear, bringing…read moreabout a revolution? Then this might be the store for you. A huge range of army and camping equipment occupy the shop, more than you can shake a stick at in fact. The thing I've never really understood about stores selling this stuff is that Army Surplus isn't all that good. It usually means heavy and expensive. If you're going on a really serious camping trip or are taking part in some kind of ultimate paintball then go along and stock up. I can't see what else you'd need this kind of place for. I know one thing, when the uprising comes, I'm heading this way. Oh, they sell air rifles and the like as well, although Arthur Bale & Sons across the road seems to have a better, more devastating range.
