outfitters

Equipment retail shops

Outfitters are businesses or people who supply equipment and gear for specific activities, especially outdoor pursuits like hunting, fishing, camping, or rafting: We booked a guided trip through a local outfitters.

The term extends to clothing retailers, particularly those selling rugged or outdoor-styled apparel: I got this jacket at an outfitters downtown.

An outfitter may also provide guides and expertise along with equipment.
