Very helpful, friendly and competent staff, to help guide in the purchase of skis, boots and accessories. Even had an issue with my bindings the next day and they fixed it right on the spot. Great service!
Very professional and enthusiastic staffs. Great variety of products. They recommended you the products fitting your need instead of ripping you off. Thanks for Matt and Kyle helped me out yesterday.
The best place to buy sports and winter goods. Dan and Dani at the shoe section will get you the best stuff at the best price! You'll go out the store smiling.
Had a great time in Monod, First went downstairs and had Jacob teach me everything I needed to know about buying new skis. Myself coming from Ontario, I learned a lot of info on skiing the big mountains. Wonderful person. I then went upstairs to look at random stuff and the worker running the climbing area was amazing as well. Taught me so much about climbing (even though I would never see myself ice pick climbing) but by the time I left I thought I was ready for my first trip onto the ice wall. Will diffidently be back to buy some skis this coming weeks.
Absolutely fantastic experience with Monod Sports. I was searching for a jacket in Calgary and had no luck. I contacted Monod's in Banff and spoke with Natalie. She had the jacket in stock and was able to take my order and ship the same day, with free shipping. I would recommend Monod's to anybody looking for outdoor gear.
Best outdoor gear and apparel shop in Banff. Comparable with MEC. Shop here first and support locally owned and operated businesses, without compromising quality. They have the best stuff!
I make an order online because I was in the hospital without warm blankets, no shoes, no sandals, no socks and I was cold? , my order was big, I know they don't have delivery to hospital but I was going to orderthe delivery to a friend's house. I got the email saying that my order was received it at 5: 54pm. The schedule store is 10-8pm, the online team left alreadyat that time. I talked to staff member about my order but she ignored me. (like always.) Looks Like they don't want to sell. I am in Calgary area, I could order from MeC and have my order with no problem in 2 hours. I like to support locals, family and small businesses, But I guess they are fine. They just waste my valuable and precious time If you are in Banff Better go to another store Atmosphere or Patagonia could be a good option for you, you might receive better service from them. Thank you for reading me.
The older gentleman that helped us purchase our bear spray was SO informative, knowledgable and so nice. He had excellent suggestions! Greatly appreciated!
Nothing but a fabulous experience! I ordered a pair of Tecnica Mach 1 boots online. They arrived on time, with the box in perfect condition, and a card and chocolate bar from Mat and his team. Thanks so very much guys. Will be back for more shopping.
Ordered boots online. Their shipping was prompt. When I figured out I needed a half size larger, they were super helpful in making sure I got what I needed. Follow-up emails to make sure everything was good was a nice touch.
Awesome service! PJ and Fred kitted us out with awesome ski gear and great recommendations! Loved the personal touch and appreciated the excellent customer service.
Must visit if you are into outdoor sports. Skiing, climbing, camping, hiking, skiing, mountaineering, ice climbing.they have it all. It's the candy store for outdoor adventure gear. They have an amazing selection of arc'teryx, flylow, spyder, patagonia, petzel, Hestra, K2 and much more. Must stop by if you are in the Banff area.
Just ordered a few items from the website and when one of the items was not available in the design I'd selected Karen went out of her way to send me details of similar options for me to choose an alternative. We were corresponding this morning and then my items were dropped off to me in Canmore this afternoon. What great service from a friendly and helpful local store. Thank-you Monod)
Visiting town for a few days and I stopped here every day for 3 days straight to have something done to my boots. They helped make sure my ski trip would be comfy in my new boots.
I never had to purchase any new gear but the selection was really good. Would definitely recommend Monod for anyones ski needs in Banff.
Ordered some ski boots online, and upon opening the box discovered a hand written thank you letter and some pretty amazing chocolate. These guys clearly value their customers.
On a side note, their hours are awesome! Love that I can actually stop by the shop after a day of skiing. Hands down one of the best outdoor shops in the area!
Good selection. Fair prices. Great staff. They lose a star by separating their online customers from their in person ones. Their frequent customer status/points/prices should be the same online as in person.
I’ve shopped here before and the experience is always first class. I ordered a jacket from them and it was fast shipping. Two weeks later I got an email from them asking how the jacket was and to let them know if I had any issues. Amazing shopping experience.
I've never been to the store, but their online marketplace is amongst the best on the web for Canadians seeking premium outdoor gear and clothing.
- Good selection including lesser known brands - Best price guarantee - Reward points - Free shipping over ~$50 - Free (easy) returns
Monod is quick to respond to email and sends you a hand written thank you note with every package. As far as small retailers go, Monod has a brilliant online marketplace. 5/5 would recommend.
I've been buying from Monod for quite some time. Nothing crazy a few purchases here and there. Their customer service is top notch. Monod is a family business focused on proving excellent service to their patrons. The small thank you card included with the purchase from the owner is another small token of appreciation towards their clients. For Monod you're not just a wallet - you are a real person. Thank you guys. Keep up the good work.
We just recently ordered a few items from Monods for the first time, and I was amazed at the incredible service from Trevor on the other end.he went WAY above and beyond in finding the product I wanted. And within an hour it was on it's way, outstanding no nonsense oldschool customer service and store! Thank you Trevor!
Fred helped me get fitted with the perfect pair of ski boots. He devoted over half an hour to making sure I found the right boot, and was open and honest about the ups and downs of each boot. He made efforts to keep the boot within my price range without sacrificing on the quality i needed and was very knowledgeable about everything. Couldn’t recommend this place more!
Quite possibly Canada’s best sports shop, especially the ski shop. Ron, PJ and Darren are some of the most knowledgeable, honest and informed ski people in the industry.
I came to Monod to buy snow boots few weeks ago because it looked like a very nice store to go shopping and I must say I had a great experience. I am a picky shopper and the staff member, a French guy was very helpful and friendly. He didn’t rush me, he showed me different options corresponding to my needs and request. At the end I left with a great pair of Hanwag, on sales and soooo comfortable! Now I am excited for the snow to come. Thank you so much, for your patience and your smile.
Was originally planning in going to Atmosphere for some last minute outdoor gear, ended up stopping at Monod on the way and buying everything I needed AND MORE: employees (specially Fred) were awesome, good discounts and general prices! Did I mention that Fred was awesome?
I purchased the hydra pack bite valve, it will not work with Platypus product as recommended to me by you. Unfortunately the cover doesn't fit and I'm afraid to rip out valve as it seems like it will definitely break. Platypus says I could try freezing it, however with hikes in mind I don't want to risk breaking my only one, rendering it useless for when I will be needing it. I'd like to refund this product so I may simply purchase what will work off the Platypus website. Unfortunately, you're not answering calls to your store either.
Quite a good shop overall, staff are helpful and quite knowledgeable. I am disappointed they no longer retail any fishing gear. It was handy for the occasional small thing without having to drive to Calgary.
My wife and I are going on a trip to Assiniboine park and we needed a hiking map for the area. We live on Vancouver Island and Monod was the only store where I could order this map and get it in time for the trip and with free shipping, too. The other stores were going to take a couple of weeks to get it to us. I ordered two maps and had one sent to my brother in Vancouver. They both arrived quickly and with a nice personal note included. Very impressive service!
Just ordered a pair of Salewa hiking boots from them! Best online price and got them super fast:) Feel so much better to buy from small company that are owner operated:)
A breath of fresh air, these guys and gals are awesome! I bought a pair of trekking pants online, had them shipped in a couple days - free shipping. They were a bit too big, so I called to ask how the next size lower may fit as the online reviews I had read said they would be too small. Knowledgeable staff set me in the right direction - I should have called first. They sent me a shipping label to ship the return for free, which I did right away. A few days later I had the pair that fit - again, shipped for free. Monod went all out to treat me like a valued customer, and now they have my business for life!
Monod's Sports is in a league of their own when it comes to the latest and greatest in technical gear for any and all mountian activities. Their customer service and and in-depth knowledge in everything they sell is second to none. They go above and beyond to make sure you leave happy.
EXCELLENT customer service! From start to finish my online order experience was outstanding. I ordered a Patagonia jacket, which unfortunately was too big, so had to be returned. However, Karen T handled the entire process quickly and professionally, sending the jacket four provinces away in a speedy manner. And when I mailed it back as a return, my credit card was credited immediately. No fuss. No questions. No problem. Cannot recommend Monod Sports - Banff more highly for their exceptional service! Whoever is at the helm, give Karen T a raise and a promotion.
My last pair of approach shoes accompanied me on over 300km of trails. Imagine my despair when they finally bit it! Monod's to the rescue! Even during Covid-19 nonsense! I ordered my fave approach shoes online, paid for them, and they were hand delivered 3 days later! With a smile and the love that only local Bow Valley businesses can deliver. Now I'm hiking the trails around my home in comfort and with a new spring in my step. The online ordering system was easy, customer service for delivery was personal and kind. Honestly, it made me feel luck to live in the Bow Valley because our local businesses are just plain rad. Spend your money here. Monod's is awesome.
I wanted to order a Leatherman but couldn't find a local store that was open (I don't use Amazon). Found Monod Sports, delivered just as fast if not faster than Amazon and very competitively priced.
Please more than ever support local Albertan businesses; keep our dollars within our struggling communities and stores.
I picked up an Icebreaker top and Arcteryx jacket from Monod and am very pleased with both. I would like to specifically thank Karen, the E-Commerce Operations Manager, as she quickly responded with accurate information about two questions I had. Great customer service like theirs is why I will be recommending Monod to friends and making more purchases myself.
Really excellent service every time I shop here, whether it's in person or online. Received a delicious chocolate bar with my last online order and free delivery that arrived same day! Very impressed with their price-matching policy too. Highly recommended!
Great atmosphere and personal attention. Brendan spent time to find the skis that worked best for me-including a switchout when the first pair was what I had asked for, but ended up not being what I needed. Can’t thank Owner, Matt, enough for his flexibility and ultimate goal of my being thrilled with my ski equipment. I am!
I have bought multiple products from monod sports after stumbling across the store in Banff, I feel like they put thought into what products they sell to match the quality the company is. Their customer service is also the best I've come across in the industry, friendly team that is always able to help.
Above and beyond good service. Definitely look for your gear here before one of the bigger places if you get the chance. They have great shipping for Canadian residents plus you're buying from a family, not a holding company.
I had such a positive experience with Monod! Their website was accurate about their stock, and they immediately shipped my order so that I could receive my new skins in time for the weekend.
Small things make big differences, and I'm really appreciative of the help they gave me!
An outstanding winter sports store in Banff Excellent service. Incredible stock and choice for all comers. Highly recommended. Ask for Phoebe for assistance.
My daughter lives in Banff and when I needed to get some new bindings mounted on new skis December 23, she said take them to Monod's. Brody and the Techs there made it priority and in a few hours I was all set to ski on my new gear with my daughter Dec 24. Service was so great, they even heat fitted my son's boots while we waited. They were hopping busy with Christmas shoppers, but we never felt like we were an inconvenience or a bother. Exceptional service, wonderful crew and cool vibe.
GREAT Customer Service! There was a problem processing my payment and they offered me 3 solutions within an hour from placing my order. Everything was taken care of in 2-3 hours and there was no delay in my order being shipped. Much appreciated!
What a great experience shopping at Monod Sports. I was searching for a pair of boots but I couldn't locate my size anywhere on the web. Came across Monod Sports. Not only did they have my size, but they were significantly cheaper than the few other retailers that sold them. When I first tried ordering them, I ran into an issue with stock information on their website, contacted the store and they sorted out the issue in about 10 minutes. Not only did my boots arrive, they arrived sooner than expected. I was pleasantly surprised to find a note in the box that was hand written and signed by Nick and Peter Monod (owners) thanking me for my business. Great added touch. I will be telling everyone to shop at Monod Sports and if you're reading this, you should be too!
After calling them and leaving my number, impossible to keep in touch with their staff. Trying to buy a product online with my reward points and the system does not allow to pay with that option. So the reward points you earn with previous purchases are USELESS. I will choose another store to get my equipment.
