    Anybody know of good websites that sell, hiking,mountaineering/climbing, camping gear?, i tried ebay and was quite frustrated with the lack of results, but i did get quite a few results for climbing gear.

    www.barrabes.com are good, I've used them several times. http://www.rockrun.com are good too but their shipping can be a bit expensive so compare the prices to other sites first. Rockrun always have good deals on though :)

    I've always found www.expe.fr to be great - but postage is a fair bit since they're in france. That said - their prices are really good.

    come to think of it, if your french isnt good you might be better off looking elsewhere...

    Second recommendation for field & trek, always good customer service.

    Recently, I have got some great clearance bargains on http://www.winwood-outdoor.co.uk/ also. They seem to be a smallish shop and have also given very good customer service.

    I bought a Garmin Etrek Vista GPS from this seller : http://www.gpsworldwide.co.uk/ (through ebay), about 70 euro cheaper then buying it locally, including post and packaging.
    good turn around as well

    MEC are worth checking out as well. Co-op store in Canada, requires a once-off membership payment ($5CDN I think?)

    They may be restricted in what they can sell/ship to addresses outside Canada...

    Belfast based shop, good selection. They do a next day delivery throughout Ireland for free!! They seem to have a good range of gear, and the prices are much cheaper than down south (there is an option to display prices in Euro).

    Highly recommended.

    Just got this of the climbing.ie mailing list - pretty cheap and quick delivery too apparently.
