RC Outfitters

I went to this place at the recommendation of a friend. I was looking for hiking and climbing shoes for myself as well as energy bars as an errand. The shop is located on the second floor of a commercial building and it’s quite big. I first had a look at the energy bars and gels. They do carry quite a few of those, mainly USA and Swiss brands, mainstream but good quality. And then went onto the corner where they seemed to have what I was after: they did have some climbing shoes of the kind I wanted (rounded tip, for bouldering) but they didn’t have the hiking ones — I was trying to find Vibram5Fingers. They only have Vivobarefoot. By the way I later found them in Escapade Sports.
What I realized when I was there is that this place is great for hiking and mountaineering equipment. They carry brands like Berghaus and Montane and the clothes range is great: coats, jackets, vests, sleeping bags, backpacks, pants, thermal clothing to wear underneath and some accessories like gloves and torches. Basically everything you need for outdoors activity. And not only for men and women, they also have children’s clothing.
It’s a specialist store and most of the clients already knew what they wanted, except me, who needed some advice on the climbing shoes… they were expensive and ended up not getting them, but so far, this is one of the few places where I have seen them, so I may have to come back.
