“Phil was so helpful finding me a triathlon wetsuit that fit! Trying to order one online was a nightmare, and he was super patient and kind going through all sorts of different sizes with me. So grateful there's a place in town to try wetsuits (and tri suits) in person!”
“We’ve been customers for over 30 years and keep going back! After the sale, it’s the service that counts and Vintage provides that! From a superior brand (Sundance) to accessories like our cover and, when needed, technical expertise we get the best from Vintage. Lance the technician is knowledgeable and friendly. He recently visited us on-site to repair a panel, getting our tub up and running again. Thanks Grant for keeping us soaking, year after year!The Webbs”
“With the costs of everything going up, it's nice to find a store that provides high quality, well cared for 'used' outdoor clothes and gear, at reasonable prices. Also, being able to consign unused or items that no longer 'fit' is a super way to stretch the budget.”
“Great customer service here, specially given that it is the city's main (perhaps only?) dedicated racquet sports store. Special shoutout to Carlos who has been incredibly helpful when stringing/demoing/purchasing racquets and very generous with his time when educating me about their products.My only criticism is the FINAL SALE return policy for items on sale as I think it has prevented me from making a few shoe purchases here, but this qualm is definitely not enough to deduct a star.”
“I came into New balance this weekend and had a really good experience with one of the workers named Malik. He had really good customer service and directed me to the right fitting shoe for my race that I will be running back in England.”
“Went to get some bindings and I was missing one when we got home. The staff were super helpful and he got it shipped out right away!! Will definitely be the shop I go to for all my board needs!”
“We got a few things there. One item needed to do an alteration. Got it bacl and was not at all impressed with the job done by the seamstress . I could have done a much better job doing it myself. Something was done that I didn't asked for and now I have to undo what was not requested. But quality of the products and customer service are both excellent. If you need alteration on your clothing, take it to a professional.”
“I really love their REGEAR program, where you can trade in a previous high value jacket for a discount you can apply to next purchase. Similar to Apple iphones.
I got their new Fissle SV jacket here. I really like the pink purple color. However, it stains quick though, so I recommend sticking with black if you are an outdoorsy and bicycling person.
Another thing is the external material doesn’t seem to bead off water as good (where water slides off). Versus the waterproof stuff I get from MEC for a fraction of the price, water slides off great with MEC.
Staff were mostly university students, pretty chill.
WARNING - they have a strict refund policy so make sure it is what you want before you leave the store.”
“I called the Victoria outlet to have an item sent to a store closer to me. Staff was very positive about my request, finding my item and making careful note of my name and phone number before verifying exactly when it would be sent and the steps I'd be taking to obtain the item at the store near me. This was an extra special customer experience!”
“On my way down island to play at westhills, my son decides to tell me he needs his skates sharpened. I dropped in to see if I could get them sharpened right away as the game started in 25min!! The staff were right on it. I was walking out the door 10 min later with perfectly sharpened skates. Huge Thank you!!”
“Delightful, fast, and friendly service with Mehtrun & Co. had me in and out with lifechanging kicks in under 30 minutes for half the price I expected. Great staff, great selection, great location!”
“I had a fantastic shopping experience today. As a plus size woman returning to dance after 20 years this was not something I anticipated being so easy & fun. I highly recommend this shop - reasonable prices as well as sales !”
“Excellent Surf Shop right in the heart of Victoria. Great selection of wetsuits and surfboards as well as surf clothing and shoes. The staff was extremely helpful.”
“Lovely shop, well-stocked and the staff are very helpful and friendly. I bought some quality ballroom dance shoes and the staff were great, not pushy at all and very knowledgeable. I am so grateful for this gem of a shop!”
“A very professional lady on till had to deal with a questionable client handled it perfectly wasn't rude to them ether would recommend at least checking it out”

616 Yates St, Victoria“Went into warrantee a few items and had awesome customer service in helping me fix a couple holes I had made in my jacket and ski pants. Took a little bit to get my puffy back from repairs but they did a fabulous job at fixing the wear I had accumulated over the 4 years I have had the puffy for so far (big yay for stores that support the longevity of their product :) ). Sure its pricey stuff (what isn't these days) but the elementsinc. website always has sweet deals that make it more affordable for me (got their highest end ski jacket for 60% off last year!!) and all my gear has lasted ages! Thanks Elements/Patagonia Victoria!”

The location is perfect, right in the heart of Victoria with easy access and beautiful surroundings.

The product selection at this location is top-notch, with all the latest collections and a wide variety of options to choose from. Whether you’re looking for activewear, casual pieces, or something in between, this store has it all.

I was browsing the store and about to leave when I met Prapti. She was exceedingly kind and approachable. After speaking with her for a few minutes and letting her know that I was on my way out she tried assisting me again and I ended up making the purchase. She made me feel valued as a customer, she was empathetic and understanding with a great sales touch. Not enough businesses have people like Prapti working for them these days. She is the kind of employee that helps build loyal customers, which are rare now.
Prapti, thank you so much for assisting me. I am happy to have come across your path. Keep up the excellent customer service!”
“kinda overpriced but often runs sales on a variety of items. decent warranty a few years ago but i haven't needed to use it in a while so im not sure. my go-to when i need sport specific items that aren't too niche”
“Thoroughly enjoyed my course with Lee and BestCoast. Learned so much and feel that there was noticeable improvement in my skills each day. Loved the emphasis on creating a kayak community and look forward to next time!”
