They had what I needed at a great price with quick delivery a bonus, though not essential to me. So simply great service!

The service that I received for both of my purchases was excellent. My purchases arrived very quickly and were very well packaged. I am very happy with both my rain coat and matching fleece, the colour, quality and fit are all perfect.
Many Thanks.

THE place for outdoor gear

Rory and team are so knowledgeable and helpful. I needed a load of gear for an upcoming alpine trip and I got a lot of really good advice on what would work and not, with no hard sell. Would 100% buy again from Outside when the need arrives.

Excellent all round.

Outside provide excellent, impartial advice on a professional basis I.e. not just to make a sale.
The Ohmega is a useful piece of kit for a weight difference between the climber and belayer. I tested this out in Costa Blanca last week and it worked as described.
I would recommend for those situations where there is a 10kg+ difference, in my case, there was ~30kg and, as above, it worked brilliantly to protect the climber and give the belayer an easier time.
Not a cheap item but you don’t mind the cost when you’re 30m up a sport route in a remote crag.

Mountain Equipment jacket repair

I had a failed zip on a Mountain Equipment Tupilak jacket and the after sales service from both Outside and Mountain Equipment was superb. The zip was replaced under the Mountain Equipment lifetime warranty, free of charge, quickly and efficiently. Once the jacket was back at outside, it was posted out for delivery the following day. Thanks to everyone involved in the repair. Great Job and Great Service!
