Great Outdoors

Founded in 1976, Great Outdoors has long been Ireland’s trusted destination for adventurers of all kinds. Now proudly owned and managed by Ken Costigan and Derek Moody, the store remains 100% Irish, just as it was when it first earned its Guaranteed Irish status decades ago. Over the years, we’ve equipped explorers heading to the North Pole, climbers tackling Everest, divers plunging into the Red Sea, and travelers venturing to the glacial fjords of Iceland. We’ve also supported countless students setting out on J1 visas or Australian work permits, ensuring they had the right gear before embarking on their journeys. At Great Outdoors, we believe every adventure is personal, whether it’s a local hike or a global expedition, and our goal has always been to make each one the best possible experience. Our reputation has been built on a carefully curated range of trusted outdoor brands, combined with the expertise and passion of our experienced staff. Every member of our team is an outdoor enthusiast, eager to share their knowledge and help customers find the perfect gear for their needs. Whether in-store or online, Great Outdoors continues to inspire and equip anyone who loves the outdoor life.
