Sporting goods from the USA with delivery to Ukraine are a good option for people who run, hike in the mountains, ski, cycle or fish. America is home to many outdoor brands: The North Face, Patagonia, Columbia, Marmot, Black Diamond, Osprey, Yeti and Garmin. It also sells Nike, Under Armour and lululemon sportswear and gear for dozens of sports. You place your order to the Pokupka warehouse address in America, and we deliver it to Ukraine.
What is worth buying in American sports stores
Ukrainians most often order waterproof jackets, down jackets, hiking footwear, backpacks, base layers, tents, sleeping bags, sports watches and running accessories from the USA. Prices for American brands in their home market are usually lower and the choice is wider: there are colors and sizes you will not find in Europe, and special lines for tall or heavy-set people.
Seasonality is especially important here. Winter gear is cheapest at the end of winter and in spring, summer gear at the end of August, around Labor Day. Big discounts also come on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and co-op stores such as REI hold their own sales for loyalty program members. Gear outlets such as Backcountry with its Sale section sell past collections at up to half price.
What to keep in mind when buying
Clothing sizes from American brands usually run larger than European ones, so check the chart in centimeters. For footwear, go by foot length and width. Gadgets such as watches, bike computers and headlamps usually have built-in lithium batteries: before ordering, check with Pokupka support how they can be shipped by air. Stove gas canisters, aerosols (insect repellent sprays, membrane waterproofing) and fuel are not carried on planes, so they are better bought at home. Large and heavy items such as bikes, kayaks or dumbbells are charged by weight or dimensions for air transport, so think about whether they are worth shipping.
The best sporting goods stores in the USA
REI is a co-op with a large choice of outdoor gear and its own REI Co-op brand. The Dick's Sporting Goods chain covers almost every sport, from baseball to fitness. The Columbia site often has discounts on Omni-Heat jackets, and Garmin sells sports watches and navigators directly from the manufacturer. For skiers and climbers, Backcountry with its premium brands is worth a look.
The American market is also interesting for fans of fishing, hunting and camping: rods, reels, lures, knives, flashlights, camping cookware and camp furniture are sold there in a wide range and at moderate prices. Many sports stores have Outlet or Deals of the Day sections where new discounts appear every day. Before buying expensive gear, compare prices at several stores and read reviews: American shoppers describe in detail how an item performs in real conditions.
