About Us Report

The Scandinavian concept of 'Friluftsliv' encourages us all to spend more time outdoors and enjoy every moment of nature where we can. It is this concept which brought the idea of Nordic Outdoor to life back in the Summer of 2005. Born from Swedish roots Nordic Outdoor have always sought to bring a Scandinavian level of enjoyment and playfulness to the outdoors without compromising on style, function, or sustainability.

BEWARE! No monetary refund on anything bought in store. Clearly undecided on a £250 jacket, I was encouraged by the staff to take the jacket home to show my family, without any mention that I would only be eligible for an exchange or credit note. I feel absolutely conned by the staff at St James Place, Edinburgh. You are much safer shopping online or at a shop with a better return policy.

Incredibly helpful bunch - kept me updated with an order for something which wouldn't be available for a few months, very friendly & responsive, great products at competitive prices. Will be ordering again asap!

Been in the Edinburgh store in Frederick Street a couple of times in the past week, excellent service on both occasions from the store manager Caroline, very knowledgeable and knows her stuff. Really good selection of my favourite brand Fjallraven at very competitive prices too. It’s always good to support an independent shop and can’t fault the service.

Rang the Edinburgh shop for some advice on a fjallraven jacket, the lad I spoke to couldn't have been more helpful with my questions about the garment and its sizing. I asked about next day delivery he explained I had probably missed it for that day which was fine, woke up to an email thw following morning saying it would arrive before lunch, 19 hrs after I ordered it! incredible service recommended 10/10

Just called up to order a tent. Andrew who helped me couldn't have been more forthcoming and helpful. Very reassuring for an expensive purchase to have someone so knowledgable and passionate on the end of the phone. Thanks!

We have just received terrible service from Nordic Outdoor. We bought a Fjallraven anorak 8 as a treat for my husband. It is an extremely extravagant purchase for us - £430.00. The specifications say it is 'water resistant.' Water soaks through it. When we contacted Nordic Otudoor, they said 'water resistant' was not 'water proof' and we should have been told this in the shop. We were not. Nordic Outdoor would not give us a refund, they laughed at us, they told us we were intimidating. We are not. We are really sad and disappointed.

I have been in a few times now and I have been served by Caroline. Her customer service is amazing she is so friendly and her knowledge of products is great and went out her way to order something in for me. Will definitely be back to the Edinburgh store. Great stock and staff.

I recently was given a Gransfors Bruks axe as a christmas gift and i loved it so much i ordered a different one. The personal service of Damian was fantastic and the quality of the products is unsurpassed. Aside from the product the service is why I will be back. great job Nordic Outdoor

Clothes were very reasonably priced. One of the ladies working, Kam, was extremely helpful in the Richmond store with lots of advice on what rain jacket I should be buying. Good experience overall

I visited Nordic Outdoors in Frederick St in Edinburgh yesterday. I went in to get a Fjallraven Kanken bag, they had a fantastic choice with loads of colours available. Caroline assisted me - she is an absolute babe and very helpful. I would highly recommend this store.

Superb place. Friendly knowledgable staff. A camp crazy person's paradise. I love it!!! Can't wait to go back.

Fantastic items that make soooo very intelligent sense! Better than Tiso's.

That for me is saying something, as I camp, do horses, garden!

Look forward to going again. Best thing for me was a way to self re-wax my a jacket! Outstanding.
