Advantages: Good quality goods and reasonable prices Disadvantages: Still has stigma of being frumpy
...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 discover later that he was relieved at ...

Advantages: good products, reasonable prices Disadvantages: people perceive it as cheap and tacky
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 ...

Advantages: quite a good range Disadvantages: can be a bit pricey
...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 difference. Where Millets come into there own is with the waterproofs, coats, trousers, walking boots and the like - these are generally less common in the high street and essential if you mean to venture outdoors in this ...

Advantages: everything for camping under one roof Disadvantages: none
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 ...

Advantages: Their sleeping bags are exclusive Disadvantages: they take 25 days to deliver & only that quick cos I hounded them
...arrived wrapped, crudely, in two millets carrier bags and left with a neighbour??!
When we opened them we had two left ones that could not be connected, so I made my fifth phone call to Millets who let me take one to a shop (completely defeating the object of internet shopping) to swap it for a right one.
My advice is not to use Millets website, they make internet shopping a frustrating hassle. I genuinely believe if I hadn't made all those phonecalls ...
