Mountain Equipment Co-Op
Cavernous granddaddy of Vancouver outdoor stores, grown hikers have been known to weep here at the amazing selection of mostly own-brand clothing, kayaks, sleeping bags and clever camping gadgets: MEC has been turning campers into fully fledged outdoor enthusiasts for years. There’s a good selection of regional and international maps and guidebooks, plus a climbing wall to test your new gear. You’ll have to be a member to buy, but that’s easy to arrange and only costs $5. Equipment – canoes, kayaks, camping gear etc – can also be rented here.

Sports Junkies
If you’re heading to this part of town to check out Mountain Equipment Co-Op, do what the locals do and drop in first to this nearby outdoor gear and sports equipment consignment store. Along with the shelves of used boots and shoes near the door, you’ll find racks of end-of-range new togs (this is the place for $5 Olympic Games T-shirts). Upstairs is a cornucopia of new and used equipment, from skis to snowshoes. If you know your prices, you can save a bundle here.
