This store is just as much a candy store to out door enthusiasts as Lee Valley Tools is to the handyman and the hobyist.

It has the largest collection of backpacks any where. Their own backpacks are built to last. I bought my day pack here 15 years ago. It is well used, washed multiple times and travelled with me every where I go and it jus last and last.

They have a large selection of bike gear and climbing equipment. Their outdoor wear are the best. Prices are great! Of course you do pay more for quality but it is going to last many years it is well worth it.

Their batteries, especially the button batteries, are some of the cheapest in town. The greatest thing about all of this is the there is ample parking space.
