Countryside Ski & Climb

Ordered a pair of ski socks and they were fine quality, nothing special. Took nearly two weeks to get here though, the tracking stalled for a few days. Would maybe try somewhere else next time for quicker delivery.

Needed a helmet for a snowboarding trip next month and didn't fancy paying shop prices. Found one here, ordered it on the bus and it turned up in a couple of days. Fit's good and the checkout was quick, nothing to complain about.

Got a pair of ski boots because my mate's stag do is in the Alps and I had nothing to wear. Ordered on Friday, came the next week which was fine. The boots are okay but the liner is a bit stiff so I'm wearing them in.

Needed new skis for a trip in a hurry, so ordered on my phone during my lunch break. The skis arrived after a long wait, and the site kept showing it as in stock when it wasn't. Eventually sorted but I had to chase it.

Needed some gloves for a ski trip in February and my old ones have a hole in them. Ordered a pair here at lunch, they came quick and fit well. Good colour too, looks nicer than I expected.

The crampons came with a plastic cover that actually stays on, which I didn't expect. I've been climbing for years and I'd say the fit on these is solid for the money. The strap on one side needed tightening a couple of times before I was happy with it. Otherwise no real complaints.

Bought a helmet for the dry slope on the way to work, ordered it at lunch on my phone. Arrived the next day, fits great, the straps are really comfy. Checkout was quick too, saved my card so didn't have to type it all in again. Would order from here again no question.

The price was the first thing I noticed, a good bit lower than the other shops for the same ski jacket. Delivery took four working days and tracking updated properly the whole way. Returns would be a faff if something didn't fit, you have to print a label and find a post office. Still worth it for the saving.

Bought a waterproof jacket for a long weekend in the Lake District. It did the job in the rain but the sleeves are slightly longer than the listing suggested. Sending it back meant printing a label and queueing at the post office, which took a while to sort.

The bindings I bought for my skis were the first thing I checked and they fit exactly right. I've been ordering from them for about six years now. This time the delivery took nearly a fortnight, which is longer than they usually take, and when I rang about it they said it was held up at their end. Not ideal when you're planning a trip around it.

Easily the best place I've found for climbing kit. Compared it with two other shops and their prices on harnesses were the lowest, and the size guide saved me from guessing. The order arrived in three days and everything was there. Will be coming back for my next rope.

Compared this with the shop I always used and the prices here are noticeably lower on ski wear. I've bought from them for years now and the order process hasn't changed, which I like. Delivery was prompt again this time and everything was as listed.

Compared a few shops for a new pair of ski gloves and these came out ahead on price. The site was easy enough to use, though the search could be better. Gloves arrived promptly and fit well.

I'd say the price on the walking boots is the best I found, which was the main reason I ordered. There was a short delay before dispatch while they sorted a stock issue, but they emailed me to explain. The boots are comfortable and fit as expected.

The price on the walking boots was the lowest I could find, which is why I ordered from here in the first place. Checkout was quick and the site showed clear sizing info. The boots came a day later than the tracking said but nothing major. I've not tried the returns yet so can't say how that goes, but for the money this was a sensible buy.

Compared a few places before ordering and this was cheaper than the big chains for the same skis bindings combo. Ordered on a Tuesday night, it was on my doorstep by Thursday morning which I didn't expect. Customer service answered my question about boot sizing within an hour on live chat. Packed properly too, nothing rattled about in the box.

Ordered a sleeping bag for a scout camp, was after something that would handle cold nights. Checked a few other sites first and this was the best value by a fair way. Arrived quickly and the zip is smooth, the compression sack is a nice touch. Will order again for the next trip.

Ordered the boots from here because the high street shop wanted nearly double. Checkout was fine on my phone though the address bit kept resetting. Arrived in two days, nothing wrong with them.

This is the first time I have bought from them and the ski goggles are excellent value. Ordered on a Sunday and they came on Wednesday, which was quicker than I expected. The lens is clear and the strap sits well under my helmet. Happy to order again.

I purchased a pair of telescopic walking poles for my holiday in Austria, which I found very reasonably priced. The order was dispatched promptly and arrived well packed. I did have a question about the grip size and the reply came the same afternoon, which I thought very helpful.
