Hello everyone.

I am hiker from south Europe, and i am looking to find good shops with outdoor gear. Specifically UL equipment and clothing, more traditional camping stuff, even military surplus types of stores.

Which ones do you use?

Leave the UK ones out,because Brexit makes them uncompetitive,plus i know most of them.

I have found that some greats shops exist at central europe (poland,czechia,slovakia) helped by lower VAT rates. But they are small and hard to find.

A big bonus would be reasonable shipping charges to south Europe.

 

Thanks a lot.

Not exactly what you‘re looking for, but just to give you an idea, have a look at this thread:

Poland has 23% VAT, Slovakia has 20%, Czech has 20%, that´s more than for example germany with 19%, the oldest and biggest UL Shop in germany is sackundpack.de, they have an online shop and a brick shop in Krefeld near Dusseldorf, north of Cologne, they import a lot of UL stuff from US and japan e.g. Gossamer Gear, HMG, Western Mountaineering, Tarptent, Zpacks, SMD, Snowpeak, Evernew, Montbell and a lot more beside the whole european stuff, they talk and write also in english btw also my favorite shop

a good military surplus store in germany is truman.de

Thank you biker2hiker and khyal.

I know about sackundpack but the 16.5 euro shipping for under 200 euro orders make it not such good choice.

I imagine you're aware of https://www.outdoorline.sk/en/ ? 

Otherwise have a look at https://www.huckepacks.de as they also sell selected UL Gear.

https://www.gramxpert.eu has a small selection of UL Gear, too, as does https://liteway.equipment. 

I'm sure you know the Spanish cottage https://www.astucas.com ?!

Shops:

There is at least one more (from Denmark?) which are selling also EE and Jumper Home etc. but I can't find it.

Not sure about international shipping - you will have to ask.
