Reviews of Bivouac Outdoor Christchurch
E.
Very helpful staff. Assisted me in finding the right pair of hiking boots, even though I had made it clear that I wasn't in a position to purchase yet. Good quality gear, great staff, reasonable pricing.
Recommended.
M.
Incredibly knowledgeable staff in this store. I came in for a few bits, some things I outright said to staff that I wouldn’t be purchasing on the day, however they still gave me their time and their knowledge on the products I was looking at. I did end up making a purchase and felt comfortable parting with my pennies knowing I was getting the right product for my needs. Can’t wait to shop here again when next in Christchurch.
L.
Great shopping trip today. My partner got some Lowa boots he's wanted for a while 15% off..happy shopper!
S.
Good parking, drove straight into a park. First time we'd ever been to a Bivouac Outdoor store. Was expecting a small shop but was pleasantly surprised to see how large it was.
Great range of stock here. The store was lovely and tidy with decent walk through to get to view products.
With the product we were after, the size wasn't available. However, that wasn't a problem as they sourced one from their Dunedin store (which only took a day or so).
Lovely, friendly and helpful staff. Great place to source all your outdoor needs.
r.
Great staff, always helpful. Often out of stock of some of the equipment, but I suspect that’s just covid supply chain issues
G.
This place is becoming my fav outdoor store in Christchurch! Customer service received by Georgia was absolutely top-notch, extra mile, I hope you can get your youtube videos running girl, you smashed it presenting the Osprey bags!
Went two days in a row, following day I was assisted by Neve. Hope I spelt it right. She was brilliant too.
Thank you so much!
M.
Always a friendly welcome and good advice here, not to mention heaps of range including a large clearance section. One of the top outdoor stores in Canterbury.
I recently spent ages deciding on a pair of boots. I must have had at least four members wander past and offer their advice. Great service.
A.
Was just browsing. Excellent staff assistance. Great selection of outdoor clothing & kit
J.
Chris and the team here are aces. They always have great advice. I went in looking for waterproof overpants. One of the team helped me understand the different waterproof treatments and weights of fabrics and considerations for different activities. I felt fully informed before making my decision. Very helpful.
They have good stock levels and loads of clothing and shoes on the clearance sale tables and racks.
They support outdoor club members with good deals as well.
K.
Great variety of equipment for all sports, staff are excellent always on hand to offer advice.
J.
One of our favourite outdoor stores, we’ve found the staff friendly and also respected we were there to browse at times. Sometimes staff seemed otherwise occupied but still took time to help. Being weekend warriors, we’ve found the store to have a good range of gear, and excellent IceBreaker range. The sales section is always worth a look too!
C.
A dangerous place to go if your trying to save money. Awesome selection.
R.
Good service, able to get me into a pair of climbing shoes very quickly
N.
Great outdoors store, very helpful staff!
K.
Fantastic selection of gear for the outdoors. Perhaps I should say the well heeled outdoors people. Even though they have a sale going, it was fairly pricey. However the goods and brands were some of the best available. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and keen to help us find what we wanted. Some goods ranges were for the young and very fit, not old fogeys like us who are getting a bit beyond free climbing. A flat Bush walk is more our style these days. The sizes they had in most ranges were for quite tiny, very fit people. Well worth a look if you are serious about the outdoors. To be totally fair, they are at the crossover point heading towards autumn and winter. A very attractive, interesting store
J.
Such a good experience shopping here.
The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and just the right balance of being attentive and letting you shop at your own pace.
Good brands and often have sales.
I shopped at two of the other outdoor stores at Tower Junction today and both were not even close to as good an experience.
Thanks Bivouac
J.
Staff are super informative, honest and helpful. Heaps of cool camping/hiking gadgets and stock. Love that they let my dog come in for a pat :)
S.
Lovely clean tidy store, good selection a d staff that greeted well and wanted to help
C.
Bivouac outdoor have been very good to deal with. They are always helpful in store, and recently I had a warranty claim, which the staff were very helpful with, and resolved within a day of dropping off the item. Thanks team.
E.
Can't fault their customer service. I was acknowledged on my way in and when I wanted assistance, the lady I approached was busy with another customer but saw to it that another sales assistant looked after me.
I was in the store less than ten minutes and had purchased exactly what I went in for.
J.
Wide range of good quality with knowledgeable staff. Discounts for outdoor sports club members. Sale prices are sometimes a bit underwhelming but we got a couple of things half price on our recent visit. After sales service is good from our limited experience.
A.
Very good service and got what I needed
K.
Came in to this store upset about a broken tent that i got from one of their auckland stores. After my rant they calmed me down saying that they will do what they can to fix it for me. I expected them to call their supplier and wait tell me to wait half a week but they managed to find a spare from a different tent that they custom modified to solve my problem. Over the top service that exceeded my expectations by far!
I.
Helpful and knowledgeable staff, and quality gear.
W.
Huge selection of outdoor wear from reputable brands. Large warehouse- like setting and only 2 changing rooms open, however a very helpful staff member unlocked another one for me. Excellent sales racks with 40percent savings. I ended up buying 3 fabulous merino garments, very high quality.
T.
Great products for the outdoors but the range of brands and product was limited probably due to covid affecting overseas shipping so it made it hard to find something that suited.
J.
Staff went out of their way to assist- very friendly with helpful advice. Thank you
M.
A really good store with a wide range of quality equipment. The staff were knowledgeable and able to help me find the right gear. They took the time to help me find the right back by showing me the different options and trying each one on. With my sleeping bag, I had an idea of what I wanted. They took that and gave me more information to help me make an informed decision.
D.
Helpful, intelligent staff (hard to find these days), great range of quality gear, everything you need right here with top brands competing for your $. Thanks for your help getting new valve for my hydration pack
C.
Excellent range BUT the staff often does not seem to know what they are talking about, which is frustrating. Fairly poor customer service to, with some of the staff members who don't really seem to care much about engaging with (keen) customers. Frustrating because the store looks awesome and the gear selection is great.
T.
Had to wait around for about 20 mins in the camping area before I was approached, went to the front of the store and was approached immediately. Staff were knowledgeable and helpful. Went looking at sleeping bags ended up buying shoes. 🤣
A.
Really good place to stock up before your next adventure. I suppose the staff could be more affable and lack of paywave caught me by surprise a couple of times when I wanted to pay with my phone. In general it's a very nice place selling top of the range brands.
R.
The staff was friendly. It was the sales period and I felt the stock was a bit low. Nevertheless, I could order the missing items for pickup at the store. A large variety of equipment. Not a large variety of brands (e.g., Beal ropes only, BD harnesses only, ...)
F.
I think this shop is great. A few people on here have complained saying staff are unattentive but I would would prefer that than being pested by annoying staff who are willing to say anything to sell you stuff. I like to not be harrassed when looking around a shop. Keep it up. I'm sure anyone with half a brain can pick out what they want to buy themselves, and if they need a hand they will come and find you :)
J.
I love this place. It’s an outlet so the prices are generally reduced for end of season clearance etc, plus there are frequent sales.
The brand range is wide compared to Macpac or Kathmandu and also has a great accessories and specialist equipment section (GoPro, climbing ropes, harnesses, helmets, head lamps etc)
Staff are friendly and knowledgeable of the products.
C.
Bivouac Outdoor is the best outdoor shop I have ever been to. They have amazing service and outstanding products. I definitely recommend going to bivouac Outdoor.
M.
Great range of outdoor equipment, priced for posers and show-offs. Not for serious outdoor enthusiasts, who would be better off spending their money next door.
P.
It's a pretty big outdoor store. Actually the whole mall in that area is dedicated to outdoor stores. They often have some great deals and when you get to the checkout, sometimes the prices are even lower.
K.
A great service on boot fitting. Measured my foot length and width and suggested a boot. Fitted perfectly! I only found this out after trying on around 29 other boots in multiple stores until returning here for said boot.
P.
Great shop, huge. Everything you need to kit out an adventure.
J.
Quality outdoor equipment. If you need the best gear like black diamond, Arc’teryx, outdoor research etc this is the place to go. Only minus one star for the prices as they tend to be bit more expensive than some online retailers. However I would much rather buy from here than Macpac, torpedo7 etc as they tend to cater to a more casual audience
T.
A classic bivouac shop with a great range of quality outdoor equipment, one of the only places in Christchurch you can physically try on and buy speedcross trail running shoes! (They also have a solid range of outdoor GPS watches)
J.
My go to store for my outdoor needs. Staff are friendly and very helpful
D.
Great store with good product range. Purchased our multi-day hike food packs from here. Found a wide range including vegetarian.
D.
Brilliant service really professional and knowledgeable. They know their products and can make qualified recommendations. The staff are outdoors people so have probably used the products.
C.
This store has a brilliant selection of stock, but is just a tad pricey. The jacket I was looking for was found elsewhere at just under $200 cheaper.
W.
Absolutely THE best outdoors gear shop in NZ. The staff are knowledgeable and always have a good depth of personal, first-hand outdoors experience. (e.g., when buying a tent, the tent designer for Exped helped with the selection!). PLUS a comprehensive selection of gear AND good value for money. Highly recommended
M.
Knowledgeable helpful staff, good product range. Some gear I bought had a fault, warranty had just lapsed, but was replaced with no fuss. Happy days, thank you.
K.
The staff is always very friendly and helpful, and also doesn't try to constantly up-sell and push more expensive items on you.
S.
Nice place lots of clothing options
N.

Excellent customer service, had a clip break on my harness and they fixed it for me in-store free of charge no hassle. Thanks!!!
E.
Huge amount of outdoor gear. Often the only place to get reasonable climbing gear. A few options that are rare-ish in New Zealand such as Paragonia, The North Face, and Arc'Teryx.
H.
This is the greatest movie theater I've ever been to. I saw the Incredibles 2 and it was quite good. The portion sizes were really quite good for me.

(Translated) Super~Oma shop! Everything.
The clerk is super nice! I tried a backpack, and I felt uncomfortable no matter how I adjusted it. The clerk was very patient and slowly helped me see it, and asked a lot of questions about camping equipment. The clerk answered me in detail if he knew it. Thank you for helping me check it online!
