The best sporting goods apps

DICK'S Sporting Goods

DICK'S Sporting Goods is the largest sporting goods retailer in the United States, selling athletic equipment, apparel, and footwear across team sports, fitness, golf, and the outdoors through around 850 stores. The company also operates the Golf Galaxy and House of Sport formats, and has become a significant launch partner for sneaker releases.

Academy Sports + Outdoors

Academy Sports + Outdoors is an American sporting goods retailer with around 280 stores across the South and Midwest, selling equipment and apparel for team sports, fitness, hunting, fishing, and camping. The chain competes on value and on the breadth of its outdoor range, carrying firearms and fishing tackle alongside mainstream athletic goods.

Hibbett

Hibbett is an American sporting goods retailer with more than a thousand stores, concentrated in small and mid-sized towns across the South and Midwest. The chain sells athletic footwear, apparel, and team sports equipment, and has become a significant sneaker launch destination in markets the bigger chains do not serve.

Champs Sports

Champs Sports is an American athletic retailer selling footwear, apparel, and equipment, part of the Foot Locker group. The chain positions itself around head-to-toe sport and street style rather than footwear alone, carrying team apparel, training gear, and accessories alongside the sneaker releases it shares with its sibling banners.

SidelineSwap

SidelineSwap is an American marketplace where athletes buy and sell used sports equipment, covering hockey, golf, lacrosse, baseball, football, and more. The platform exists because sports gear is outgrown and replaced constantly, and it handles the awkward parts of peer resale — pricing guidance, shipping labels, and payment protection.

Bass Pro Shops

Bass Pro Shops is an American outdoor retailer selling fishing, hunting, camping, and boating equipment through large destination stores known for their aquariums, museums, and indoor waterfalls. The company also owns Cabela's, and its stores function as much as attractions as shops, anchoring a business built around outdoor recreation.

REI Co-op

REI Co-op is an outdoor retailer offering gear and apparel from the best brands for hiking, camping, cycling, climbing, skiing, paddling and more — owned by its members through a consumer co-operative model. Beyond shopping, REI ties the app to its membership benefits, deals and a broader mission around getting people outdoors.

The North Face

The North Face is one of the world's best-known outdoor brands, making technical clothing, hiking gear, and equipment for everything from expedition mountaineering to everyday wear. Founded in San Francisco in 1966, it built its reputation on down and shell construction for serious alpine use, and its Nuptse and 1996 Retro jackets have since become mainstream streetwear staples.

Cabela's

Cabela's is an American outdoor retailer selling hunting, fishing, camping, and shooting equipment, founded in Nebraska in 1961. Now owned by Bass Pro Shops, its destination stores are known for wildlife dioramas and aquariums, and the brand remains a reference name in serious hunting and fishing gear.

OpticsPlanet

OpticsPlanet is an American retailer of optics and technical equipment, selling riflescopes, binoculars, spotting scopes, microscopes, night vision, tactical gear, and protective clothing. The company stocks hundreds of thousands of products across those specialisms, serving hunters, target shooters, and outdoor enthusiasts alongside professional buyers in law enforcement, laboratory, and industrial settings who need certified equipment.

Tradeinn

Tradeinn is a Spanish online sports retailer operating a family of specialist stores — Trekkinn, Bikeinn, Diveinn, Runnerinn, Smashinn and others — each covering a single sport. The group sells a very large catalogue of equipment and apparel across those specialisms, shipping internationally from Girona.

Scheels

Scheels is an employee-owned American sporting goods retailer operating large destination stores across the Midwest and West. Its stores are attractions in their own right — indoor Ferris wheels, aquariums, and shooting simulators — and the chain covers team sports, hunting, fishing, and outdoor alongside footwear and apparel, with specialist depth in each rather than a thin general range.

Golf Galaxy

Golf Galaxy is an American golf specialist retailer, part of the DICK'S Sporting Goods group, selling clubs, balls, apparel, and accessories from the major golf brands. Its stores pair retail with services — custom club fitting, regripping, and simulator bays — aimed at players who want equipment matched to their swing rather than bought off the shelf.

MX Locker

MX Locker is an American marketplace for powersports gear, connecting riders buying and selling new and used equipment — riding gear, parts, and whole vehicles across dirt bikes, ATVs, UTVs, street bikes, and cycling. Built by riders for riders, it handles the logistics of peer-to-peer selling: list an item with a photo and a price, and a prepaid shipping label is issued when it sells.

6th Sense Fishing

6th Sense Fishing is a family-run American tackle brand making soft plastics, hardbaits, jigs, rods, and crappie and saltwater lures, alongside an apparel line that has grown into a lifestyle range of its own. The company designs its own baits rather than reselling, organises its range around how people actually fish, and offers discounts to military, first responders, and medical workers.

Arc'teryx

Arc'teryx is a Canadian outdoor brand making technical apparel and equipment for alpine climbing, skiing, hiking, and trail running — hardshell jackets, insulated layers, harnesses, footwear, and packs built for demanding conditions. Founded in North Vancouver, the brand is known for precise construction and durability, and for products that command premium prices on the strength of their performance in the mountains.

Googan Squad

Googan Squad grew out of a group of fishing YouTubers into a bass fishing brand in its own right, selling Googan Baits alongside rods, reels, terminal tackle, line, weights, storage, and apparel. The company sets out to bring a new generation into the outdoors through its content, and pairs more than a hundred products with free US shipping over $99, 45-day returns, and a tackle subscription for regular restocking.

Decathlon

Decathlon is a French sporting goods retailer selling equipment and clothing across more than seventy sports, almost all of it designed and made under its own brands such as Quechua, Kalenji, and Domyos. That vertical model is the whole proposition: by designing, manufacturing, and retailing itself, the company sells technical kit at prices well below the established sports brands.

Musky Shop

Musky Shop is an American tackle retailer specialising in musky fishing, stocking the oversized lures, heavy rods, and specialist terminal tackle that species demands. Musky angling is a narrow discipline with equipment general tackle shops rarely carry, and the business exists to serve it properly.

DVOR

DVOR is the members-only daily deals arm of OpticsPlanet, offering discounted optics, knives, tactical gear, and outdoor equipment. Each deal runs for a limited time at heavily reduced prices, drawn from the parent company's substantial inventory of technical outdoor and shooting products — a clearance channel that lets OpticsPlanet move stock without discounting its main storefront.

Blade City

Blade City sells knives and edged gear direct to collectors and everyday carry enthusiasts, with a catalogue covering butterfly knives, karambits, pocket knives, swords, and its widely known mystery boxes. The brand leans on frequent limited releases and promotions, and has built a following among buyers who treat knife collecting as a hobby rather than a one-off purchase.

Volcom

Volcom is an American clothing company founded in board sport culture — skateboarding, surfing, and snowboarding — and built on the mantra "True To This", a rallying cry for persistent rebels and creatives. The brand makes products for men, women, and kids across outdoor, snow, swim, skate, denim, accessories, and fashion, and supports initiatives in music and the arts alongside its athlete programme.

Backcountry

Backcountry is an American online retailer of premium outdoor gear, covering biking, backpacking, climbing, kayaking, skiing, and snowboarding. The company is known for its Gearhead programme — expert staff, many of them serious athletes, who advise customers one to one — and positions itself as a community for people who get outside rather than simply a shop.

ThruDark

ThruDark was founded in 2017 by former UK Special Forces operators, who design, develop, and personally test every garment the brand makes. It produces technical clothing for outdoor and active pursuits as well as everyday utility wear, using advanced smart fabrics, and its kit has been worn on record-setting polar and mountain expeditions.

Malbon Golf

Malbon Golf is an American golf lifestyle brand making apparel and accessories that sit closer to streetwear than to traditional golf clothing. The brand tells stories and builds community around the game as much as it sells product, running events and collaborations that have made it a fixture of golf's younger culture.

Hushin

Hushin is an American hunting and outdoor brand selling apparel, gear, and accessories, grown out of the HUSH hunting media and film operation. The business built its audience through hunting films and content first, and sells direct to that community rather than through outdoor retail chains.

Route One

Route One is a British skate and streetwear retailer, trading for more than thirty years and carrying around 200 street brands across more than 10,000 lines. The business grew out of skate culture and still stocks hardware and skate essentials alongside the fashion that now makes up most of its range.

Sunday Swagger

Sunday Swagger is an American golf apparel brand making polos, hats, and casual clothing with bold prints and a deliberately relaxed attitude to golf's dress conventions. The brand sells direct online, releasing themed collections rather than maintaining a standing seasonal range, and has grown among younger players who find traditional golf clothing stuffy.

Pins and Aces

Pins & Aces is an American golf brand styling itself "The People's Golf Brand", best known for premium headcovers and for golf polos with a built-in spade-logo sunglass holder. The range runs across apparel, hats, golf bags, gloves, putters and grips, ball markers, belts, tees, and the drinkware — beer and seltzer sleeves — that made the brand a fixture of casual golf culture.

Quiksilver

Quiksilver is an Australian-founded surf brand making boardshorts, apparel, wetsuits, and snow gear, one of the defining names in surf culture since 1969. The brand sells worldwide alongside sibling labels Roxy and DC Shoes, covering both technical surf and snow product and the casual streetwear that grew out of it.

WB Barber Supply

WB Barber Supply has supplied professional salon and barber shop essentials since 1939, stocking clippers, trimmers, shears, combs, and the tools and consumables barbers and stylists use daily. The business serves working professionals and salon owners rather than home users, competing on the depth of its inventory and on decades of trade relationships.

Boardal

Boardal is a surf marketplace built by surfers for buying and selling surfboards and equipment. Second-hand boards are traditionally traded through local classifieds and notice boards, and the platform exists to make that national — with the pricing guidance and shipping arrangements that awkward, fragile cargo needs.

Sierra

Sierra is an American off-price outdoor retailer selling discounted gear and apparel for hiking, camping, running, skiing, and general outdoor activity. Formerly Sierra Trading Post and now part of the TJX group alongside T.J.Maxx and Marshalls, it sells overstock and past-season product from recognised outdoor brands at substantial discounts, through its own stores and online.

Fore All

Fore All is an American golf lifestyle apparel brand built with women at the forefront, making stylish clothing for on and off the course. The brand sets out to challenge the conventions of golf apparel and widen who feels welcome in the sport, combining its product with content and community for women who play.

Freedom Gorilla

Freedom Gorilla is an American online retailer of optics and firearm accessories, operating as an authorised dealer for brands including Holosun, Vortex Optics, EOTech, Trijicon, Sig Sauer, Primary Arms, Olight, and Streamlight. The catalogue covers red dot sights, magnifiers, weapon lights, and adapter plates. The company competes on price-matching and service rather than own-brand product, shipping free and fully insured via UPS with same-day dispatch on orders placed by 2pm ET, and offering discounts to military, police, veterans, and first responders.

Soul of Adventure

Soul of Adventure makes durable outdoor and performance apparel built around sun protection — neck gaiters, hats, hoodies, and UV-rated layers for fishing, boating, and time outdoors. The brand sells direct online, with a range designed for people spending long days exposed to the elements rather than for casual outdoor styling.

Viper Tec Knives

Viper Tec Knives sells automatic and folding knives, tactical tools, and everyday carry gear direct to enthusiasts and collectors. The American brand designs its own knives and sells through frequent limited releases, sharing a parent company with the knife retailer Blade City, and leans on mystery boxes and drops as much as on a standing catalogue.

Waggle

Waggle makes golf apparel and accessories with a looser, more playful aesthetic than traditional golfwear, aimed at players who don't want to dress like the club championship. The brand sells direct online, releasing collections and one-of-a-kind designs alongside its core range of polos, shorts, hats, and accessories.

Titans Tactical Gear

Titans Tactical Gear is a retailer of tactical equipment, carrying gear from established brands across the category. The business serves outdoor, security, and enthusiast customers looking for kit built to a harder standard than general outdoor equipment — plate carriers, packs, lighting, and protective gear — and curates across manufacturers rather than selling a single house brand.

Deporvillage

Deporvillage is a Spanish online sports retailer selling cycling, running, outdoor, swimming, fitness, and sports electronics equipment. The business carries major technical brands across each discipline and ships throughout Europe, competing on depth within each sport rather than on the general breadth a high-street sports chain offers — closer to several specialist shops under one roof.

BucknBear Knives

BucknBear Knives makes and sells fixed-blade and folding knives, covering hunting, tactical, and everyday carry designs. The brand sells direct to collectors and outdoors users rather than through retail distribution, with a range spanning budget working knives through to higher-end steels, and releases new patterns regularly rather than maintaining a fixed catalogue.

Appalachian Outfitters

Appalachian Outfitters is an American outdoor retailer supplying gear for hiking, camping, and backcountry travel, named for the trail system its customers use most. The business pairs its equipment range with trail expertise and a community of local outdoors people, positioning itself as a specialist shop rather than a general sporting goods chain — the kind of place that will tell you which pack actually suits a three-day section hike.

Evike

Evike is an American retailer specialising in airsoft, alongside fishing, camping, and tactical gear. The business is one of the largest airsoft suppliers in the United States, carrying replicas, internal upgrade parts, protective equipment, and field accessories for a sport that general sporting goods retailers ignore almost entirely — which is precisely why its customers come to it.

Fair Way Golf

Fair Way is a peer-to-peer marketplace built for golfers to buy and sell second-hand clubs, apparel, and equipment across the UK. Golf clubs hold value and are frequently upgraded, so the platform exists to connect players clearing a garage with those hunting a specific model.

Greyson

Greyson Clothiers is an American golf and lifestyle apparel brand making performance polos, outerwear, and knitwear with a darker, more design-led aesthetic than traditional golfwear. The brand sells direct online and through pro shops and premium retail, aimed at players who want technical fabric without the conventional country club look.

Hunting Exchange

Hunting Exchange is an American marketplace for buying and selling new and used hunting gear — bows, treestands, blinds, decoys, trail cameras, rangefinders, and clothing. Hunting equipment is expensive and frequently upgraded, and the platform exists to connect sellers clearing old kit with buyers looking for it.

golfclubs4cash

golfclubs4cash is a British retailer of new and pre-owned golf equipment, carrying more than 70,000 items across clubs, bags, and accessories. The business both buys and sells, taking trade-ins against new purchases, which keeps a constantly rotating stock of second-hand clubs from every major manufacturer.

Tennis Exchange

Tennis Exchange is an American marketplace for buying and selling new and used tennis equipment — rackets, bags, clothing, strings, and accessories. Built by tennis players, it exists to give a category that has always traded informally through club noticeboards and coaching networks a dedicated national platform, with listing and selling designed to take minutes rather than an afternoon.

Ghost Golf

Ghost Golf is an American golf brand selling apparel and accessories with a bolder, more irreverent aesthetic than traditional golfwear. The brand sells direct online through collection launches rather than a standing seasonal range, building its following among younger players who want course-legal clothing that does not look like everyone else's — a pattern shared by Golf Wang and Waggle.

Elite Eleven

Elite Eleven launched in Melbourne in mid-2014 with the goal of building a genuinely original sports and lifestyle brand where fitness and fashion collide. The label focuses on sport and the lifting lifestyle, and has grown with each release into a recognised name both locally in Australia and internationally.
