they have a huge range of sports products, from swimming to fishing to skiing. they carry patagonia items, which are expensive, but worth it. they have frequent sales which can make their clothing more affordable. during the winter they have everything you could possibly need for all winter sports, and they do have a range of brands, some more affordable than others. the staff is very helpful, and this feels like an old local business that really cares about the community where it operates. it's a pretty large store given it's downtown location, and much more convenient than driving out to one of the malls.

Fontana Sports Specialties is a good store in downtown Madison. They have a great selection of outdoor gear and clothing. The key is to shop there during a sale, otherwise the prices can be a little steep. A really good selection of sandals, hiking boots, and backpacks. Both locations are pretty good.
