SAIL
SAIL's Sherbrooke, Quebec, outdoor store, smaller than the flagship locations but well stocked, with a well-organized fishing section and helpful staff, though stock gaps and strict returns frustrate some.
What visitors say
The SAIL store in Sherbrooke is a mid-sized outdoor retailer that reviewers describe as a smaller version of the big SAIL stores, bright, clean and well laid out. It covers fishing, hunting, camping, canoes, clothing and footwear.
Most shoppers are happy with the staff, who are described as friendly, knowledgeable and willing to share their own tips. Anglers praise a well-organized fishing section and helpful advice on flies and line, and a recent reviewer says it has become a regular stop for their son's fishing gear. One customer who bought a canoe singled out several staff for great service. Prices are seen as reasonable to high, reflecting quality brands, with good end-of-season sales on winter gear.
Stock is the recurring gripe. Some shoppers found items that other SAIL stores carry were not in yet, small sizes were missing, and one hunter waited half an hour for shotgun shells only to find skeet loads out of stock. An angler wanted longer braid spools and more floats, and an archer found little beyond crossbows. Returns can be strict: recent reviewers describe refused refunds on a red dot sight and on mittens that underperformed. Check stock online or by phone, and keep items unused and fully tagged if you might return them.
