DS Tactical Reviews

Great place to get all you tactical gear, you won t be disappointed! Great customer service!

Great service, awesome selection. Looking for that unique one off item... Check out DS Tactical, if they don't have it they'll either get it in or they'll know where to get it.

Great selection of real steel tactical gear. Bit pricier than other stores here in Vancouver.

These guys are the greatest been shopping here since 2007. Purchased stuff for several deployments around the world they sell good quality kit and have great service.

Good prices and a huge selection of equipment and accessories.

Awesome place they have the best selection in all types of tactical gear for people who love airsoft, working in law enforcement, outdoor recreation or marksmanship.

Professional staff, friendly service attitude and reasonable price.

Favourite store to go to hands down. Huge selection of high quality gear at good prices. My go to spot

The quality of boots I have bought from here is very good. You can find other tactical and equipment as well.

Great selection. Store is messy but It adds to the experience. They are focused on customer service not pretty displays.

Went there for the first time and was surprised with how many items they carry. Staff was really helpful and they helped me find the item I was looking for real quick

Great place for service members. Many service members are employees. Great diverse and quality kit and gear. Good return policy.

Mid range and high end tactical and outdoors gear store with knowledgeable and helpful staff.

The people working here are kind and helpful. It is an extremely tactical oriented space. Which is clearly stated in the name. It just did not have very much EMS stuff which is what I would recommend if you go there for. It is a great fun field place to browse for cool stuff.

Hands down the best selection of gear and customer service!

Lots of hard to find Scepter Mil Spec Water and Fuel Jerry Cans. Lots of stock and accessories too.

Staff is always helpful.

All your tactical needs are here. Highly recommended

First time in the store. Normally order online . Glad I made the trip. Super great staff, fantastic selection and very helpful. Worth the trip

Brett was great! The staff was really nice.
The store was not cluttered,like others say, they are expanding so have patients.
I rather they have too much of what I need than to little.
This is the only place I've found that has tactical pants for women.

Great selection of high quality police and military goods, some decent brand names.

All new tactical Gear, great knowledgeable staff.

Also looks like they are expanding the store

Best 5.11 dealer in YVR for price and in stock selection. Lower pricing than Amazon before your EMS/Fire/Police/DND discount. I came there the day they were stocking their new renovated side. The owners have obviously made a big investment in a refreshed look. Looking forward to see the finished store.

Decent selection with helpful staff. Prices are a bit high, but you get what you pay for.

Great shop! Just make sure to bring lots of money, as you will not be leaving empty handed.

The store gotten a lot bigger and way more items to choose from

Been here several times. Awesome service and selection. Great store.

Best place for gear. Amazing service. Been going for years for both my personal equipment and duty gear.

Great service and lots of gear for a gear geek. I highly recommend if you're into tactical gear

Highly recommended, if you're looking for a large variety of Tactical & First Responder's Gear, this is the place for you.
There's a great selection of clothing/ jackets/ duty belts/ boots & shoes/ and a huge selection of other gear. Great knowledgeable staff, competitive prices.
Once was one of my favorite places to shop for gear before my retirement.....

The only place to buy gear. Hands down. Won't shop anywhere else.

Store to satisfy any needs one might have. Would give 5 starts, if had better selection of women's boots. But, of course, it is not solely a shoe store.

Ordered dog tags in July 23. Was told it would take a day. Went back two days later said it would be a week and they would call. Come August 10 no call and we go in and they still aren t done. They couldn t event refund our debit and had to give us cash and the excuse was the machine wasn t done... sitting there with our money however and didn t even call to let us know. Disappointed to say the least.....

Great gear and prices, although some of the "warrior" type t-shirts they sell are kind of misogynistic.

Lots of military type wear/gear. Staff are helpfull if you can get their attention. Prices seem reasonable for quality of gear. Seems to cater mainly to law enforcement.

Overall, a great place to get a variety of tactical gear for decent prices. They even give you 10% if you belong to an organization or professional use. Yes, the shop is quite a mess and walking space is rather limited. That's kind of half the fun. They have free catalogues and magazines like Calibre and 5.11. I bought a pair of 5.11 women's waterproof tactical boots. Since the sizes sell out quick because of the limited order, the staff was kind enough to hold them via phone for me. While in the shop, the staff were ready and willing to help answer questions!

I have visited the store numerous times and have had a wonderful experience every single time! The staff are very friendly and are always willing to help...great customer service. The store is fairly clean and whenever I order something online, I get it right away. The workers are also helpful on the phone when I have questions about items being in stock. Would recommend to friends.

Martin, owner of the store is very very helpful..he made my day..he has earned one loyal customer now and will buy work shoes and work pants always from.here ..

Get your tactical items here! Good for Law Enforcement and Military. Can be a bit pricy so check for sales.

My latest purchase was a flashlight. They have a great selection of good ones. Now waiting for a pair of pants that I will be using for camping -- they didn't have the colour I wanted in my size.

Cool stuff, stock is often low and sometimes not refilled for months, had an issue as well where I was not helped when asking for a specific item, employees saying they dont carry it when it's been listed on their website for a couple months. Asides from that a neat store. Good quality items for a decent price on sales, black friday is especially good

I love the heavy duty cargo pants they have for work. Normally used by paramedics and law enforcement.

Very knowledgeable staff and competitive prices. They always seem to have what I'm looking for

Solid, staff very knowledgeable about half life and counter strike

Awesome store filled with some really great things geared towards police, military or outdoor types. As a tactical store they have a wide array of tactcial styled clothing, pouches, vests, parts and accessories. It is filled with top of the line products. Not cheap Chinese made knockoffs or brands here but proper milspec or proven companies with a price tag to match.

The are one of the only brick and mortar dealers of Arcteryx Law Enforcement Armed Forces (LEAF) in North America and have a great selection.

They sell a good amount of not necessarily tactical outdoor gear for camping/hiking etc as well.

They sell higher end knives as well from makers such as Extrema Ratio and Chris Reeve knives.

If you want something that is the real-deal and not off eBay made for airsofters this is the place to go. Their prices I find are very fair for the quality of products they sell as well.

I felt like a kid in a candy store there and the staff were great. If you can't find something on the racks don't be afraid to ask, thereay be a possibility they have it in back or can order it in. I.e. I was wondering if they had any dog products like collars, leads, harnesses, and I asked a staff member. He came out with a box of really cool products that I could sift through as they didn't have room on the shelves for them.

I have been there a couple times now and love it every time. My wallet on the other hand.......

I have been quite a few times and had a hard time finding what I want as the store is a mess and staff really could care less that you are there. Customer service is non existent....have not gone back and won't go back. Also prices are very high.

Found out about DS Tactical through my brother who works in law enforcement. They carry a great variety of tactical gear, including Arcteryx LEAF garments. Staff member Andy was very knowledgeable and helpful. Keep an eye out for their Boxing Day sale for deals.

Had some issues regarding a refund for a online purchase I made. Dealt with Jonathan and Ryan and they made sure it got squared away. Great inventory, always going back there

Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Lots of equipment and clothing. Pretty much anything you need is probably here.

If you haven't shopped here, you have to go. This place is hugely fun to explore, boxes and all :). The clothing boots and gear are very high quality and they'll make you look awesome. If you've never shopped tactical gear you should, the clothing is all tricked out with hidden pockets every where and way more durable and stain resistant than regular shirts and pants. You will not find clothing like this at the mall. The staff are busy, but it's a busy place, and when it's your turn, they are super helpful and will stick with you till you're done. A bonus is it's pet friendly so you can bring your dog with you. I highly recommend a visit if just to look around, but we spent lots of $$$$ and will go back for more gear. I get teased at work that I look like an officer, but they all want to know where I got the clothing from.

Decent store with tons of products. Staff is brutal with Customer Service though and store is a complete unorganized mess with boxes and merchandise piled everywhere. Not customer friendly at all and hard to get help.

DS Tactical is a great store, with great selection, knowledgeable staff, and excellent customer service. Though their website is rarely fully updated, leaving me unsure if they have a certain product or not.

DS is Canada s best shop for all tactical gear and accessories. Their new store is awesome and totally worth checking out in person if you can, they've got knowledgeable and super friendly staff, a huge variety of product and they re always increasing their selection. The new website is also great if you want to invest an entire paycheque from your couch! I ve been going here for years and recommend you don t look any further!

It's a long way from its roots of a surplus store, it's now the modern day purveyor of all things tacti-cool and Gucci tactical kit.. must shop

Friendly and helpful staff will get you suited up in style.

I've been going to MD Charlton since it was closer to my house in Langley. However, the selection is 10x better here, and the staff were friendly and helpful for boots.

I have to say this is one of if not the best place in the country for police/military gear. I have lived throughout Canada and still return to DS Tactical whenever I'm back in the Lower Mainland. Online ordering is made easy by knowledgeable staff who are very helpful. Top quality brands for sure.

My favourite store for tactical wear. Great brands are available here like 5.11.

Gotta say, I don t leave reviews often, but blown away by the owners service today, thanks so much!!

Not a lot of help, but lots of stuff. Fairly messy store.

Staff was friendly and helpful finding what I needed. Store was need and organized.

It's pretty crowded in here. The staff doesn't seem to be very friendly or helpful. Prices are a bit inflated. 5.11 tactical gear doesn't seem to be the quality it used to be and they sell a lot of it here.

Great shop, tons of kit. Staff is helpful and knowledgeable but its verry cluttered inside, making it hard to find things without help from the staff. Hands down though if you're looking for kit, you'll find it here.

For when you're out of uniform options and have the company cc

Amazing store. Massive selection of tactical gear coupled with an awesome layout makes for an awesome shopping experience. Friendly, experienced staff make sure you find everything you're looking for. Thanks for the help! I will be back to spend all my money here!

A lot of different clothes, tactical items, accessories. Prices are a bit high.

Like an aladins cave of tactical goodies. A real gem. If you want lovely clean aisles and professional displays check out Lululemon at the mall.

Just expanded. A great source for all your police and military gear

Awesome selection of tactical and camping gear. Only downside are the prices, DS seems to sell everything at or above msrp but if your army or law enforcement you get a % off.

Very professional, knowledgeable and helpful staff. Pretty much everything you need as a professional in security. Including pants for women (which we were looking for as being a unisex human is not a thing). Room in the store for people to safely move about.

Came in last week and picked up some stuff for work. Store was very busy yet the staff did a pretty good job managing. I like how people are complaining about stock and then complaining about the mess the boxes of stock cause lol.
