Marc
Brilliant!!! Phoned up, spoke to a super helpful chap who had the bag i was looking for. Held it for me and explained everything. Didn't know this place existed but will not be going anywhere else for this kind of stuff in the future!
Billy
Had absolutely next level service from Ethan and Kate. Super knowledgeable and friendly. Pretty sure one of them was a ghost but aside from that haven't had a shopping experience like it!!!
Robert

John
Tony and the crew on the ski section giving expert advice with 5 star service. It's very rare to get this level of technical expertise these days! New ski boots chosen by the team to fit my foot shape/ anatomy, expertly molded to create an end product that feels like it was 3-D printed around my foot! They were great for all the rest of the ski gear too. Couldn't recommend more highly.
bert
Great service, never buy a ski boot anywhere else. Really knowledgeable staff highly trained, sold us exactly the right fitting boot. Lifetime of adjustment possible. I'll never go anywhere else ever again. Can't recommend highly enough. I'm a qualified ski instructor, I would never buy abroad again. If you want a guaranteed good fit ski boot in a place you can always return to, this place Can't be beaten.
