I have used many branches of GO Outdoors over two decades.
This is quite a nice newer one with a good layout so you can quickly find items. But it is not heavily staffed; like say Shefield (which is the head office store). The Baisingstoke branch is only 30 minutes away from this branch. In case you want something specific; which is not in stock here.

In general ask one of the female staff to help you. They seem to know more and are often more helpful. Go outdoors have a reasonable range. It is easy to find items on line and locate a store that have stock. So you can reserve it on your phone and pick it up. I wanted specific boots, but they are good for many other things.

Go Outdoors are not the cheapest, or the most specialised in this sector; So it is worth checking for better prices on the Net before pushing the button.

The location is a typically dull retail park. But there is a Halford close by, if that helps. It is Outside Reading; so you avoid the worst Reading traffic. However there are a lot of roadworks on the A33 these days; which may slow you down.
