Many of us are emerging from COVID enforced hibernation and planning new trips.
We all have our favourite stores with friendly knowledgeable staff and a good selection. Many of them would be doing it tough this year.
What's your favorite Aussie outdoor store?
Mine:
Paddy Pallin on Kent St Sydney. Great selection, always had great service especially if you an issue with something even a year down the track.
While I admit due to the way manufacturer/wholesale pricing works in Australia I buy some big ticket items OS, I still buy all my gas, freeze dried mince/veges, much of my clothing and miscellaneous equipment from Paddy's.
Also like Trek and Travel on Kent St Similar big selection and knowledgable staff.
Online: Snowys have been good. Bogong Equipment also received great service for online purchases.
Edit. Almost forgot.. Cottage: underclingmike quilts.
Mods: this isn't ment to be a ad/commercial post and I have no affiliation with any store. Just thought it would be nice to show some appreciation to an industry that has to be struggling with the COVID downturn particularly the specialist stores.
Feel free to move if you think needed.
