pretty well as the last review - excellent staff help. The lady serving was particularly helpful with our choice of kit and the MD makes a fair point regarding his stock. We needed help and received it/not pushed and very professional approach. No not likes for me as I like small shops!

Mountainshack in Worcester has it sussed! Everything they sell has most likely been tested by at least one of the sales staff. I recently bought a pair of Miendl Approach Shoes and the advice I was given was fantastic, a lot more than I would expect from anywhere else, even a proper shoe shop! The only disappointing things about Mountainshack is that the shop is rather small but by no means any lesser, in fact a lot better than that of, say Blacks.
Another minor issue is that they often stick to the same brands: Columbia, Berghaus, Rab, TNF, Clog, Lowe Alpine, Scarpa, Meindl and Black Diamond. Of course this is a huge range compared to other shops and a very minor gripe indeed! I would certainly recommend this shop to anyone looking for great gear at decent prices and with lots of helpful friendly advice from sales staff.

Managing Director of Mountainshack here,
<br/>
<br/>Thank you for the great comments. If I can just pick up on the small criticism. The reason we don't change brands every season is that we put reliability before fashion. That matters in the mountains. A brand MUST have good back up as well as good product. If we find that the amount of returns or our own testing shows up a weakening brand or even that a brands ego is forcing the price above value then we change it. Come in again.
