GO Outdoors - Reading (Express) Reviews 

We needed 2 fold up camping style chairs quite urgently and the store had a great range of choice and colour. Really good value (especially with our customer discount). Staff were helpful. Very happy with our choice - comfortable and sturdy and lightweight to carry.

Visited the store on the 31/07/2026. I was attended by Sammi. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and so easy to chat to. She listened to exactly what I needed and gave honest sales advice without any pressure. Her knowledge and genuine eagerness to help made the whole experience fantastic. Highly recommend asking for Sammi!

Order tents, Went into shop to collect very friendly & helpful staff. Definitely would Recommend.

Anya was very helpful in helping me choose my merrell hiking shoes and very polite.

Thank you, Ciaran! We struggled to find the place and park nearby as we were returning a tent. Thankfully, we had Ciaran's expert help, including carrying the tent, directing us and answering our questions. He went above and beyond and we really appreciated his exemplary service.

Sammi offered great advice without any sales pressure

Welcoming staff (Sammi).
Very professional and gave me great advice. Very happy with the service.

We brought 4 tshirts off the peg in the correct size with no hassle for my husband who needs special sizing. This in itself constitutes a positive shopping experience!

Ciaran and Samri we really helpful and explained how I should.sign up in store not online and assisted with this..the store offers are a bit confusing with all the bits and differences so it was nice to be helped by such lovely friendly professional people.

I felt rather sorry for Ciaran as he clearly has some needy colleagues who kept being incredibly loud in his earpiece despite him saying he's with a customer.

Luciana and Ciara’s where really nice friendly and welcoming and helpful

Ciaran was very helpful as so needed a Camping bed as I was taken a group of young people to a Young Carers Festival.

Excellent friendly staff, very knowledgeable and thorough. Thank you Richard and Sammi.

Served by Anya & Ciaran who were both really friendly, helpful and knowledgeable regarding DofE equipment choices.

Great variety of options and very reasonable prices.

They sorted out discounts for us too.

Always a pleasure shopping here.

Served by Anya & Ciaran who were very helpful with all the options of walking shoes. They took their time to explain the difference in the products and were very patient whilst we tried lots of different pairs on.

The Go Outdoors team were incredibly helpful, both over the phone prior to my visit, and in store. Anya offered some great advice in store over tents and was both knowledgeable and patient. A great team and very helpful. I will be back soon.

I was initially helped by Luciana to find a new 65L backpack after my trusty one needed replacing after many years. She was super helpful, lovely and knowledgeable. She couldn't have been better! Faizal then served me at the till and despite a problem with my DofE discount he was again helpful and knowledgeable and between the two managed to solve the problem. I will absolutely return when I next need something for the outdoors!

Great customer service. And a surprisingly good selection for the size of the store.

Really helpful & knowledgeable staff. Thank you especially to Sammi on our most recent visit. A really good range of clothes & equipment, well set out…

Luciona was so helpful when my 4 year old was having a tantrum and not wanting to try on the raincoat. She distracted him and showed us the mirror which did the trick. Thank -you!

Ciaran was extremely helpful when I called to enquire about availability of a Rab jacket. He took my number and called me back after checking in the stock room. He put the jacket behind the counter for me to collect the next day. He went the extra mile for me. Excellent service.
