Top store
(27 April 2012)
by: Ian s. 4 out of 5
I do quite a bit of hillwalking and what I love about the great otdoors is the enthusiasm of the staff when you need a bit of advice or assistance. They sell at the high quality end - North Face, Columbia, Berghaus etc. in all honesty I tend to pick up most of my gear - base layers and fleeces in cheaper stores but I don't think you should skimp on footwear or jackets and they have the best of gear in here. Also popular for skiwear and more extreme outdoor sports. Not cheap but I guess you pay... Read more...

Get into the Great Outdoors
(10 July 2011)
by: Rachel K. 5 out of 5
Even if you are not the outdoors type, come in here and you will feel like becoming one! They stock a fantastic range of outdoor sporting equipment from underwater to over water equipment. The staff are very product knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Saturdays are a definitive no no if you need a lot of time to purchase (if you need a staff members expertise). So, get going, get active, get outdoors and feel good!... Read more...

Mountains in the sun or snow.
(13 May 2011)
by: conor m. 4 out of 5
Great Outdoors is a good place for hiking gear. I have picked up a few good rainproof jackets in here over the years and they always have the major brands on display such as Berghaus, North Face, and the stuff that Bear Grylls wears. You can also rent or buy a good selection of wintersports clothes from them come time to go snowboarding or skiing. Try to go early on a sat though as it can get quith crowded in the afternoons. The sales assistants always stood out here as being helpful and... Read more...

We are sailing.

4 out of 5
I love sailing. If I am not deep in the mountains somewhere I am on a boat. If someone offers me the chance to go sailing in the Med. even better. Having said that if you have the right gear, sailing in Ireland can be fantastic. I was delighted to see that the Great Outdoors have recently launched a new sailing department upstairs in their main store. They now stock both men and womens sailing clothes and footwear. All sorts of waterproof storage gear, sailing jackets etc. This is a welcome... Read more...

Great but not cheap
(23 February 2011)
by: Angie R. 4 out of 5
While I know that Mary Street and Capel Street have an abundance of cheaper camping and outdoors shops, the convenient location of this store means that I end up here when I don't have much time to spare. They have a great range over two floors. Staff are young and friendly but seem more like students than people who have a lot of experience with the outdoors. There's a good selection of gifts upstairs for the traveller in your life - swiss army knives and other more gadgety things. Overall... Read more...

This is the store to go to , in that case.Good selection of ski gear and equipment too. Staff are knowledgeable and can advise on correct equipment and assist greatly in making accurate selections.
