Top choice in Banff Town


Banff’s oldest outdoor-equipment supplier is still the best. It has women’s and men’s clothing from big brands such as Patagonia, Arc'teryx, Icebreaker, Columbia and North Face, supplemented by dedicated sections for rucksacks, equipment and footwear. The staff is super-knowledgeable.
