Written by the company
Founded in 1976, the shop is currently owned and managed by Ken Costigan and Derek Moody. It's as 100% Irish now as it was guaranteed Irish back then. Since our inception as the Great Outdoors, we have welcomed many adventurers through our doors. People venturing off to the North Pole, Everest and other hard to reach places have all stocked up here before setting off. Others diving in the Red Sea or the Glacial Fjords of Iceland have been equipped through ourselves. Students on J1 visas or Australian work permits have all been looked after before heading off on their travels. No matter how big your adventure, it's still your adventure and we have always strived to make that adventure the best possible one. We hope that anyone who enjoys "the Outdoor Life" will find much to interest them both in our shop and on our site. We have built our reputation on our great brand ranges and the experienced and qualified staff that we employ. All of the staff are outdoors' people and have as much interest in adventure as our customers do.

I ordered a matress for my son's scouts camp in the evening, the guys in Great outdoors managed to post it the next morning, so that I received my parcel the same day (within 24 hours from ordering), which is fantastic! Many thanks

Thanks for the review Bea, we love it when a plan comes together! We hope you haven't spoiled your son too much with the mattress that you got him, it is one of the best and he'll sure get a lot of mileage out of it.
We look forward to seeing you order again so we can keep up the high standards.

Many thanks, Shane for the kind words! We hope you like the new microlight jacket.
Excellent advice received!
I got excellent advice on hiking boots in the South Great George's Street shop from a very knowledgeable sales assistant. He went through lots of boots with me, when we decided on the most suitable one, my size was not in stock.
He put me on the email notification on their website. I duly received this about two weeks later and bought the boots.
I would highly recommend calling into the Great Outdoors for their super service!
