Crown Outdoor & Tactical

Great store, friendly staff who are knowledgeable and always go above and beyond to help. Tons of cool and unique products. Their two pups are also amazing and friendly!

Really cool stories as well!

I've been coming here for years. Extremely easy 5 stars!
These 2 guys will go to the ends to make sure your experience in their store is nothing less than fantastic.
They know their stuff and can happily answer all your military, surplus, and tactical questions.
This place has been around FOR YEARS and the store has evolved greatly.
A true staple for Calgary!
I can't say enough good things!

Great store! They sell awesome army related stuff and survival stuff cool gear that I’m looking forward to getting from here great and awesome people who work here! Full satisfaction

A Calgary institution. Has changed as Inglewood itself has transitioned, over the years. From the military surplus store of the past to the modern high end survival lines of today.

Great place for surplus army items, and new army gear too. Really nice place to browse for that special hidden gem. They’ll even make you your own dog tags.

The one staff was abusive and pushed me out of the store by criticizing my beliefs in front of other customers. I felt humiliated, and unfortunately will not return and do not recommend. My son would have loved this store… it’s a shame.

Amazing store with an even greater and impressive selection of products. Felt very welcomed with a friendly and insightful staff. Definitely one of my favourite store in Calgary!

Wonderful store with wonderful guy working there! Very friendly and helpful. Gas masks are of a really good price!

WOW! I hadn't been in the store for quite some time. Lots of great changes (much better organized and the staff seemed really really nice) and lots still the same (absolutely AMAZING selection of military stuff you will not find anywhere else). Great prices and out of this world selection. Definitely on my list of places to visit and spend some $$$. Thanks for the great experience today - such nice staff.

Great place to shop for anything tactical also all outdoor adventures stuff. I got two of my military boots (SWOT and LOWA) from here and they always carry sizes that fit my extra wide feet.

Haven't been to crown in years but it seems they are more of a sporting goods/camping store than a military surplus store these days but even before covid they had Serious stocking issues when it came to getting in new bdu acu uniforms and other such stock. Still a good store they even improved thier website since my last review 6 years ago thats good.

Awesome, that place is store and museum too is very interesting good quality, good prices, excellent variety, it is fantastic. The attention is light not invasive and relaxing.

Super knowledgeable staff, amazing selection of both used and brand new Military equipment and carries some amazing outdoorsman gear too. Boot selection is good but sometimes can run out fast. Highly recommend visiting even if you are just browsing.

Fantastic experience. The owner helped me pick out the proper gear and had good advice for me the whole way through. Great products and awesome service!

They seem to have declined over the years. There seems to be a lot less surplus materials than they had before. They have gone more retail lately. I wish Calgary had a big surplus store because there are some wool army clothes I would like to purchase. Their selection of various goods doesn't seem as in-depth as it used to be.
Their knife collection is alright. They used to have much better brands. They still have a decent selection.
They rearranged the store and it just seems like there is far less in there than there used to be a few years ago.
The staff is the same family and they are alright to deal with. Don't have any pictures to share with you.

I recently placed a christmas gift order onn short notice with crown. They were exceptional. I was extremely pleased with the product. I will shop here again soon!

Absolutely amazing customer service to help me out with an online order! Great selection of products as well, they have a lot of items that other retailers don't have.

Absolutely great customer service! I placed an order online and there was a problem with the order. I called the guys there and they immediately said they would take care of it. Cant ask for much better then that! Thankyou!

They have a large inventory of quality outdoor and tactical items. I especially like their line of 5.11 tactical clothing. The staff are excellent, very helpful and knowledgeable.

The best store in the world. So many cool items. I want to buy pretty much everything in the store and can't help but stop for a visit every time I'm in inglewood.

Amazing place. The staff are really friendly and they were proactive In helping me and my friends. They have a large stock of high quality items. I would recommend anyone to come and give this place a visit.

Amazing customer service with very knowledgeable and friendly staff. I bought a number of items that were priced better then I could find online.

Always love going here, as a veteran, they always have at least one thing that will bring back memories. Good prices and knowledgeable staff.

I've been going since I was in highschool. Each time is different from the other and the team there is constantly changing the store adding new merchandise and raising the standard. It's also a great place to find older collectors items. If you are looking for GREAT SURPLUS JACKETS, I can't recommend this place more.

Super firendly staff. They ensured they gave me the correct info, were very polite and pleaseant, and im a happy camper!

Very helpful and cherful staff, I am a regular and come every month or so to see if they restock on new things. Sure it’s the expensive but the surplus I guess.

Absolutely amazing store, I bought my favourite backpack (511 12 hour pack) here a few years ago and it has served me and my endeavours in the CAF well, countless field training exercises later and not even a scratch. The price was well worth it, I have also bought a tunic here with the same result, they carry a great amount of product and the staff are great! (Also the dogs are a welcome addition)

The next best place to Ribtors in Calgary to get Surplus Everything! One trip here & I was set! Will Return!

Amazing store, With old and vintage military stuff. But also modern military outfits, hats, backpacks, etc
Amazing staff, Kind and friendly. They are happy to help with anything
Great prices.

Awesome place to be, service is great and the selection of surplus/ tactical goods is awesome. Always fun to go here and family friendly.

This place has been in Calgary for many years used to be Crown Surplus military surplus store it has changed quite a bit since then it's now more into the outdoor pipe store offering camping and hiking gear although it does still have a limited amount of military surplus if I had to change with the times which is unfortunate as I really like the Crown Surplus and getting old military gear

Find the prices on certain things can be higher than other places but they make up for it with great staff, great shopping experience, and selection!

Employees need glasses I bought a shirt and pants and one smoke grenade they rang it through but forgot to put the purple smoke grenade I bought in the flippin bag even though they charged me for it last time I shop at this overpriced place

Sometimes I’ll come here a little buzzed and put on helmets. I bought pants a while back and these things are comfy af

They have everything you need for hiking and tactical equipment. The museum is always nice to see with stuff from world war 2

This is a great place to repeatedly come back to even when you’re not looking for anything specific. They always have the coolest things coming through here.

Friendly staff, wide variety of products suitable for everyone in the outdoor sphere; Hikers, backpackers, rock climbers, camping (austere to glamping), and one of the only places to get Black Rifle Coffee in Calgary

The owners and all staff are super friendly, also this has become my favourite store to go in Canada, and I say that without any hesitation, I love Crown Outdoor & Tactical

I've been shopping here for years. Excellent product selection and knowledgeable staff. It's a one stop shop for everything outdoor & tactical

My absolute favourite place to go for survival, camping and surplus military gear. They have a huge selection of surplus gear and some civi gear too. They have great customer service and always very knowledgeable. The owner has a dog running around the shop but it’s friendly. Also there is a few cats laying around the shop. Just don’t pet the cats.

Neat place to check out. Lots to look at. Many practical items sold here, was surprised with what random things we left with. The prices are fair and the clothing is good quality. We were given a deal and treated kindly! Thanks and we will be back!

This place is an absolute gold mine if you are into anything militaria or Tactical. If you're anything like me and you have a tendency to impulse buy cool tactical stuff then be cautioned before heading in here because there's so many cool things to spend money on. Never seen a selection of tactical gear like this at another store and the staff here is super friendly and knowledgeable.

Excellent store, It has pretty much everything you would be looking for. I look at numerous things when I complete my reviews. How helpful and friendly are the staff, How clean and orderly is the business, are they knowledgable.what about selection. Crown passes every test, It is orderly, clean and everything is laid out for the customer, they really leave no questions unanswered. They certainly know how to deal with customers it was rather busy when i was in there. Excellent job everyone! Thank you!

I like checking this place out every time I’m in Inglewood. It’s definately one of a kind and always have something new to check out. I highly recommend this place even for a casual browse.

I went here looking for a radio holster for my backcountry ski 2-way radios. They had a huge selection of holsters so I asked for help and received excellent customer service. Help me find the correct holster and allowed me to test it for fit with my beacon harness. All in all a good experience.
