Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 166 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the high quality and durability of the products, finding them well-suited for their intended use, from bikes and bikepacking bags to clothing and camping equipment. Many people highlight the exceptional customer service, noting the helpfulness, knowledge, and friendly demeanor of the staff both online and in stores. The repair service is also frequently commended for its efficiency and quality. However, some people were dissatisfied with customer service, citing issues like slow responses, conflicting information from different agents, or a lack of resolution for product problems. A few other people also felt that certain products, such as a "weatherproof" saddle pack, did not meet expectations for water resistance, and some found the down jackets to lose their warmth after washing.

Their customer service is great

Their customer service is great! I made a mistake in my order, but spotted it and dropped them a message, they managed to change the order after the shipping label was created and save me so much hassle! I'm so glad I bought from them.

Not always possible especially if the warehouse have had their Weetbix in the morning and already packed the orders but we'll always try our best.

I have been shopping with Alpkit since the early days and have always been very happy with the brilliant,understated kit and equipment that does the job time and time again. Had an issue with the website this week and for the first time have had to deal with the Alpkit Support Team and specifically Brendan - guess what? - they are brilliant as well - after a couple of emails everything sorted and order placed 10/10.
Thanks Alpkit - one very happy customer

Great product and service

Great product and service. I had to contact the team as I had accidentally over ordered an item, this was promptly rectified by Brendan. Product has arrived and I’m impressed by the quality, all three items surpass my expectations. Yet to use them out in the field but on first impressions I don’t anticipate any issues.

Always a warm welcome from Steven at the Betws Y Coed store. His product knowledge is exceptional but there are no hard sales tactics.

Hi Chris

Thanks for your review, and for the shout out for Steve and ByC Store.

We have a fantastic team around the country that are passionate about getting out and using the gear. The no hard sales tactic is simple philosophy, as we just like to treat people in the same way that we like to be treated.
We find that most people just need a friendly hello, a knowledgable team mixed and some cheeky local beta.

Brendan a real credit to Alpkit

Regualar customer of Alpkit. DPD failed to deliver 2 winter sleeping bags I had ordered to the DPD locker, and were seemingly in the process of returning them to Alpkit. I emailed the support team at Alpkit and within 3 hours not only had they replied but Brendan had sorted for me to pick them up from my local store. Picked them up same day. 10/10 customer service.

MTB Floe trousers. Great functionality and build. Remarkably 'cold-proof' for such a light pair of trousers.

Reply from Alpkit

Hi Rory

I was out in Mid Wales a couple of weekends ago with a pair of Floe's over my bib shorts, it started cold but not freezing. By the end of the day i was so glad that's what I went for. My feet were freezing as I hadn't worn my winter shoes but the rest of me was toasty, if not a little wet. I'd recommend a reproofing now and again as whilst not waterproof when you take time to restore the DWR it keeps them drier feeling for longer.

Glad you like them as much as i do.

Hi Stewart

The use of AI is something that's been quickly adopted by customer service teams across many industries. Our team has to answer a vast array of questions that is so much more than where is my order. What's the best sleeping bag for trip to do the Kungslenden, or the weight of the middle pole on a Ordos.

So glad we could help.

Exceptional customer service. Negligible wait time with a friendly, helpful and efficient agent. He clearly explained what had gone wrong, how they would fix it, and when I would expect to hear back about it - a rare model of ideal customer service.

Great customer service

I did not receive my item from a week after ordering it but on contacting Alpkit customer support the team were very helpful, giving me options to resend or take a full refund. Replies were quick and the issue was sorted within minutes.

This is partly why I choose Alpkit over other brands as the products are not only exceptionally well thought out and high quality - you also feel a personal touch whenever you’re shopping or dealing with Alpkit.

Customer service like it should be done.

I carelessly damaged a component on my Sonder bike while doing some basic maintenance. Checked Alpkit website and these parts not shown. Looked around the market and could not find elsewhere with the exact dimensions. Last resort - Alpkit's chat function.
7 minutes later - response by email - confirmed in stock (at about half the price I expected). Double checked the sizing and ordered same day. Based on past experience I know it will be here without fail in a couple of days. Brilliant Alpkit (As usual !)
