Hong Kong Outdoor Buyer's Guide

Trip to Hong Kong, one of the important tasks is to look at the side of the outdoor supplies, buy a Karrimor rucksack. Although there are three days stay in Hong Kong, but free time is running short, the last day of free activities, and get off at 14:00 with a map I went straight to Fa Yuen Street, Mong Kok, and the Hong Kong Ladies Market because much outdoor supplies franchise stores are in that edge. Purchased a digital camera and cosmetics, the remaining time to visit all the outdoor gear shop.
First of all, go to "the world's sports equipment", 83 Fa Yuen Street, Mong Kok, on the first floor. True a lot of things, from the backpack tent, down to the knife, and taste everything, prices are also relatively cheap, but the backpack is concerned, although many, but very few brand-name, a lot of brands I do not quite recognize, but noted that Swiss Army knife is here cheap, selling more than 200 of the mainland as long as more than 100 Hong Kong dollars here, but I have a Mammut outdoor knife, place the Women's The North Face has some, but a slightly higher price.
Out to continue south are "Huahui Sporting Goods", 89 Fa Yuen Street, Mong Kok, on the second floor. Goods affordable to the public, has long-term discount to Jansport, Lowe Alpine, Camp Mart mainly backpack, Lafuma backpack much, prices are also very cheap.

Continue to the south, reached the "Hong Kong Mountaineering Training Center", Fa Yuen Street, Mong Kok, 1K (do not know if this address is not correct, anyway, from Dundas COME A LITTLE on the street can see). Karrimor hanging in front of trademarks, into the bush and found over here are currently looking for several outdoor clothing and backpacks in the most places, prices are still relatively cheap, Scarpa's Gore-tex hiking shoes are only 500-600 HK. The first floor are small backpacks and outdoor clothing and so on, on the second floor are large backpack. Went to the second floor to see Karrimor rucksack and Gregory, 55 liters more than most of them over a thousand. Although there are several 65 liters of Karrimor Price at 600-800 Hong Kong dollars, but very old style, nor with Size Adjust System.

Garden streets still sell a lot of sports shoes, sportswear shop (Reebok, Nike and other products much cheaper than the mainland), also run a lot of outdoor supplies, and later on at such a store and bought two pairs of Nike of Coolmax socks (only two pairs of more than 100, value, but do not remember its name), but they are not specialized in outdoor supplies shop in stores, not to mention.
Hong Kong has a lot of the store The North Face outdoor clothing sale, but prices vary greatly, go before Hong Kong was some search website, said that The North Face's down jacket very popular in Hong Kong and now also a lot of fakes, street look look, really a lot of people have loved The North Face down jacket, Writing fragmented these, good to have a chance to go Hong Kong's ALICE a reference.
