Monsterous!: This is a big store, they have LOTS of outdoor (and indoor) sporting / camping equipment. Best selection around, and clothing rotates through the seasons so there's always something new.

pssst, i have a secret: this store has the best footbags (hacky sacks) you'll find anywhere, but you would probably never guess. Other than that little gem, they are the #1 store for outdoor equipment in my opinion, and many others'. Absolutely the best quality and pricing is reasonable. Lots of variety throughout the seasons too.

The Calgary store established an initial presence with a U-Haul trailer full of gear driven out from Vancouver. Initial digs were minimal – a cramped office space above a record store – a far cry from the present location, which is a veritable palace of outdoor gear.
