Have tried ordering fishing equipment in the sale. I've ordered a spod reel now five times now and the order has been cancelled. I check the website and it tells me the item is out of stock, and two days later it appears back in stock. I have had the same problem with bivvy lights, weights, other reels, coated braid the list goes on. In some cases things are cancelled after a week. Since the change of the website I'm unable to order via click and collect to my local store only other stores over 80 miles away. Very disappointing.

We had a great time inside of the store and we met Paul F - who was extremely helpful and knowledgeable! Paul had a lot of experience in the outdoors helped us to select a fantastic coat which met all of our needs and a great bag as well and helped us to size it up and fit it in the store. He discussed the variety of options that existed and the various Price ranges which was very helpful. He wasn’t a pushy salesman but was very genuine when helping us to choose the exact items we needed. Thank you so much, Paul. 🤗

Thank you Paul F!!

Went to the store about a month ago and Paul F was really helpful. We are a couple camping for the first time whilst hiking and are going to the Gower Peninsula in May. We had no idea what hiking sack/tent/mats to get, particularly as we wanted ultralight equipment but were worried this might reduce quality. Paul's knowledge, passion and expertise was clear and he gave us loads of advice and help with a friendly and approachable manner. We now have great kit that we cannot wait to use!! We bought everything from the Go Outdoors website at very competitive prices.

Buying DoE kit

I took my 14 year old son to Go Outdoors Southampton on Sunday 1 March to get kit for his Duke of Edinburgh. All the team were wonderfully knowledgeable and helpful. Thank you particularly to Paul F for help with fitting boots and demo'ing sleeping mats and answering heaps of questions - much appreciated.

Rock Climbing Gear assist

Went in to buy some Rock Climbing gear. Asked the staff who didn't know much about Rock Climbing.

However one staff member who was on his day off was browsing in store. A staff member kindly asked him to assist, and he did so without hesitation. His name was Joe.

Joe was polite, very informative and went above and beyond in helping me. I can't thank him enough for today as I was stuck in choosing the right harness and other equipment to go with it.

Thank you again Joe!

Staff excellent shame about the product

Excellent helpful and knowledgeable staff at Millbrook Southampton branch. Product -a head torch - purchased but absolutely no instructions on how to
a)attach the closed loop strap to the head torch,
b) how to access the recharging socket
c) how the wave function works for all the torch options - it doesn't.
This OEX product is their own brand. I would not buy again
