Rebel Sport Nelson is a sporting goods store at 34 Vanguard St in The Brook, Nelson, with a Google rating of 4.0. Rebel Sport is a national chain selling sports equipment, clothing and footwear.
A good sporting goods store helps you buy the right gear, not just the dearest. Footwear is the best example: shoes for running, court sports, gym work and walking are built differently, so say what you will use them for and try them on late in the day when feet are a little larger. For equipment such as bikes, rackets or team gear, ask staff about fit and sizing before price, since the wrong size spoils the sport. Check the return and exchange policy, and take advantage of end-of-season sales if you can wait. Regulars shop ahead of the season, bring old shoes to compare wear, and check online stock before they make the trip.
For anyone in Nelson kitting up for a season, Rebel Sport on Vanguard St is a convenient place to look.
