I stopped in on my way through town because I had questions about Kayaks. I’m glad I did! Chris the sales guy was great and walking me through the different options I had and was very knowledgeable about everything I needed to know. I’m not a new kayaker by any means but I have been looking to get a new rig for camping and fishing and there is only so much you can learn from a Google search before you want to talk to a real person and touch a real kayak. They have a big selection of outdoor gear and people who actually use the products they sell. Definitely check this place out if you have the time.

My friends and I have our first camping trip of our adult lives planned in a couple weeks, plus a few other trips throughout the summer. We were just planning on borrowing the things we didn’t have from friends/​family to get by. After going into Outside World and getting superior customer service from Henry, our eyes were opened to the stuff that we actually should purchase so that all future camping trips are successful, fun and safe. Henry thoughtfully asked us about every aspect of our camping adventure which brought up things we hadn’t thought of. Without Henry’s help today, I’m pretty sure the Bears would have eaten us on our trip. He was thoroughly helpful without being a pushy salesman. I felt like he really wanted to help make this adventure and all future ones go smoothly. I will definitely shop with him and Outside World again for future outdoorsy needs. Thanks so much!

Love this place. Staff is knowledgable and friendly. They are the true local outfitters of Columbus. I just bought a Jackson kayak that I’m going to use during their Moonlight Paddle.

Since my original purchases my wife and I have gone back to trade in my playboat and purchase a pair of new recreational kayaks. The knowledge of the staff and selection of equipment are great for a town our size. We’re really enjoying our time together on the water and have Outside World to thank.

What a cool place in Uptown Columbus! Nice small, privately-​owned REI-​like small shop, where you can bring your Fido inside as well, how cool is that? Located across Broadway from Picasso’s Pizza and a few stores down from a great sushi restaurant and coffee shop.
Anyway, The Outside World has a great selection of kayaks, outdoor clothing, TOMS, Colombia, North Face, women’s and men’s gear, the whole 9 yards in a small space. The cool thing is that the staff is very knowledgeable and they will help you out and get you what you need.
I would definitely get on over here!

Great little outfitter in Columbus with some high-​quality gear. I stopped in here while we were in town for a couple of weeks and an improptu boat trip came up, hoping to find a PFD for my 4yo. I was pleasantly suprised to find the type /​brand of vest that I was hoping to upgrade to, since the POS walmart /​academy sports version just isn’t going to cut it with the amount of time we spend on the water. The staff was friendly and helpful, and was more than willing to help me adjust straps and make sure we had a good fit on my skinny (and antsy!) little guy to ensure that he was going to be comfortable for the long hours in our canoe and still be safe at the same time. They seem to be more geared towards kayaking instead of canoeing, which is understandable given the rise in popularity… but still a little bit of a letdown for me. EIther way, it was still a little slice of river-​rat heaven, so I can’t complain… :)
