BommyJanuary 21, 2018Like that you can try on shoes without a salesperson hovering over you. Sign up to be a basementeer member to get 10% every purchase. Worth it!
Great huge selection of anything you might need when sporting or doing outdoorsy stuff. Most of it can be rented as well! Especially recommend renting skis here before going to Tahoe for the weekend.
Bryan HomSeptember 21, 2014A very friendly and helpful staff on every floor. Very thankful for Sports Basement in helping Ocean Shore School. 10% off for us and 5% back to the school.
There are two bathrooms but I like the 4th floor ones the best. Check the sales racks often as they turn the merchandise quickly.
Rented a 2-person tent for the weekend. Got a great North Face tent. Great value. I highly recommend their rentals
Showtime NetworkJune 18, 2010I could get lost for hours amidst the ski equipment, ski apparel, running gear, etc. There is a community area where you can sign up for any type of SF group sports , ski trips and local races. - Jill- Sofia PessanhaOctober 25, 2015Love this store! Great prices, there is also something discounted. Awesome for triathlon gear.
Really awesome down to earth place with friendly staff. Great climbing equipment selection.
Emily BJune 6, 2019If you have any needs for your bicycle, ask Tom, he's super knowledgeable and nice
Paradise for the outdoor enthusiast, but Man, their prices are no bueno. Also, be watch out w/ sales: their markdown is off MSRP; not list.
Canyon BoslerFebruary 5, 2016Make sure your board/skis are waxed before you leave... And I don't get why their online reservation system doesn't let you specify goofy/normal or binding angles for your board.
SarahFebruary 3, 2016Rentals are well-priced, but get there with time to spare, even if you've reserved online.
Amazing staff, selection and outstanding prices on ski / snowboard rental gear. $30 for 4 days for regular skis boots poles, $50 / 5 days for demo skis.
BravoNovember 12, 2010For any avid biker or newbies, this is home. They are very helpful and won't judge for walking around in biking shorts. -Yigit Pura, Top Chef Just Desserts
I like this one way more than the Presidio version. Great selection and cheap prices.
my to-go place for bike gear, guaranteed good prices and variety.
anjelikaMarch 20, 2012you get 10% off if you're a AAA member or an employee of genentech - now that's a deal!!
If you're flying to SF to ski Tahoe rent skis here - cheaper than either what you would pay the airline to bring them on the plane or what the ski areas charge. Also, they have lift ticket discounts. Read more

Ask if you're eligible for 10% off, for any reason (like memberships or events)
