yes, good quality gear, well known chain of shops in nz, the best shops in NZ for serious alpine climbers, very good for tramping gear, i've bought online no problems, there was a delay getting stock once, but only a couple of days..., wait for their sales to get good deals otherwise you're overpaying....
good service generally, brother in law complained about ill fitting boots once and they refunded him the difference in the price he sold them for second hand and hte new price, hte operator really knows his stuff and is genuinely interested in providing good service....

Yep, I have shopped there online and in store. It's great! R&R Sports is another good NZ shop too..https://www.rrsport.co.nz/home

Yep great shop. Can highly recommend them.
Purchased many times.
Free postage on orders to OZ over $100.... NZ that is so not a bad deal for us Aussies.
Shipping is only about a week.

I even purchased $100 worth of freeze dried back country meals from them once. Saved the drive into the store, fuel time etc.
Bit lazy I know but I saved a few bob in the process and they came straight to home.

you can go directly to back country and purchase in bulk at wholesale price. get an order form from them

We have bought quite a bit of stuff from them never had an issue. If you go to the top of there web page you can click on Aus dollar and all prices change. We pay buy direct deposit,

I've bought from them once and all was smooth. It was the cheapest price of any site anywhere worldwide for that Scandinavian brand tent at the time.

They also have one of their guys on the forums here occasionally.

Bought from them a few times usually best or close to best price and delivery about a week

Last purchase was only a couple of weeks ago, the clearence/runout item (last years icebreaker top) was out of stock and they offered the current stock of the same item at same price

Would recommend

I have purchased from them and was very happy. I bought an Exped sleeping bag on sale for A$300 delivered when the best I could get it in Australia at the time was A$600.
