These type of stores are everywhere in the U.S. but I'm having a bit of a struggle finding any sort of selection in Dubai. My only success thus far has been Go Sport where they have a house brand and Karrimor from the U.K.

Anyone know of a store with backpacking type travel gear? I was hoping to find something familiar like REI or The North Face here, but no luck...

Thanks!
