Millets (Shop)

Well,I may not be the latest Pop Idol but my dog-walking pals have voted me MISS.MILLETS! I have won this title since Santa Claus "waterproofed" me ready for the New Year ahead. When I was younger,the idea of entering Millets was unthinkable. At the grand old age of 36,this weary walker of a lively young labrador decided to quit the 3-wet-coats-a day syndrome and I visited my local Eastbourne store in search of a waterproof jacket. It didn't seem so scarey on Christmas Eve as my boyfriend was paying! He seemed attentive and caring about my winter well-being so I felt optimistic (only to ... more

Millets has always been a favourite shop for me because I like to look at cagoules..and no, I'm not bonkers. You see, Millets stocks Peter Storm cagoules and fleeces-my favourites, and you can't get them just anywhere. So when my current outer garments are getting a bit frayed, I go to Millets in Halifax and have a good browse. Not that I always BUY from Millets- the price does have to be right and sometimes they don't have an offer on what I want and somewhere else has something similar for the lower price- and off I go. My loyalty only extends so far..just as far as my purse does, actually ... more

If you are the sort of person who likes to spend their summer outdoors, maybe the odd picnic, some rambling, camping and the like, this is a shop well worth a visit. It's a good, middle of the range store catering to walkers and modest outdoors types - if you want to do more extreme stuff, they probably won't have the kit for you, but for us less ambitious souls, it works very nicely thank you. Clothes: MIllets do a lot of clothing. I really wouldn't bother buying t-shirts, shorts, jumpers or the like from them however as they are a tad more expensive than other shops, and there's no real ... more

Millets....Good old millets, a familiar high street camping chain was taken over by blacks which became the OutdoorGroup Recently. Their range of stock is based mainly on their own inhouse brands such as eurohike, Peter Storm and ALS. Now you may have seen these before..... in a Blacks store as both are part of the same group. Peter Storm clothing is generally of reasonable quality, provided your doing nothing more than path walking it will serve you well. Go up and do some serious hillwalking and you can forget it - it is not designed for it. Jackets lack wired hoods, a crucial feature. Peter ... more

Millets is a good shop for any outdoor clothes you want and for any walking or camping out equiptment. Prices for tents vary from the very cheap to the top price market. The staff are very good and will help you with advice on everything. Millets sell everything that the camper will need from spoons to mosquito nets. If the store you go to havent got it in stock then they will willingly get it for you. The clothes department have gone modern and the prices are very competitive. Fleeces are £25, jackets as low as £20 and walking shoes are very well priced at £20-£39. One of my favourite items ... more
