Sports equipment store in Brighton

“New to climbing & went in for advice. What a great place we found, all the staff were really helpful & we can’t wait to go back to start buying our equipment. Would recommend Hatt Equipment as the first place to go to, really well stocked with all sorts of equipment.”

“Bought a wetsuit , boots and a new leash - it’s been a while and wetsuit technology has moved on ; Not to fear, a really helpful & enthusiastic young man was on hand to talk me through the array of advancements, understood my needs and hooked me up with kit that’s spot on - his obvious experience shining through. Once home with my purchases, sadly not everything was smelling of roses , however that’s when a retailer really shows its metal - a brief website ‘chat’ and the issue was sorted , no quibbles - that’s a shop you’ll want to do business with again - and again - and again - Great service isn’t difficult , sadly many don’t manage it - Boardriders do - give them a go”

“Premier Sports ‘Best in the business’ I have been using Premier sports for about 20 years now and they are by far the best all round company in the South East. Whether it’s for schools, local sports teams or business they can provide medals, trophies, football kits, work wear, personal decoration, you name it they can do it. They have always been so professional and I wouldn’t use any other company. Communication is excellent and the new invoice system has made it so much easier to make alterations before production. Thank you to David, Paul, Vik and the team. Literally couldn’t do it with out you. Chris”

“Picking up tennis again for the first time in 25 years. Popped in for some racket advice and was blown away by how exceptionally helpful everyone was. Super knowledgeable staff who obviously really care about the sports they cater to and want you to get the product that's right for you - the racket trial service is an exceptionally sensible option they offer. Loving my Wilson Blade! An asset to the community.”

“We had such a fun time at Oddballs yesterday being shown yoyo tricks and how to juggle! The guy in the shop was fun, friendly and super helpful. We left with some poi and a game and I'm determined to get to a point where I can pick up my fire poi again soon after 25 years!”

“Completed my RYA 1&2 with Brighton Watersports. The instructors were great - patient, competent and thorough. Doing the training in fresh water at Piddinghoe is perfect for beginners as there's no tide to worry about and club house provides a warm refuge if you fall in.”

“Popped in today to explore options to buy a fishing kayak. They had both the kayaks I was interested in in stock and presented another alternative that was interesting and I found they were extremely helpful”

“Great shop would recommend going some point”

“Ordered these for an internal work event in less than 1 week with a large order of over 20 shirts, their response was incredibly quick, with amazing customer service (shoutout to Paul). These have just arrived and are amazing quality and very quick turnaround! Very pleased!”

“Thanks Stuart for the advise today regarding the tennis racket. I always where possible do all my shopping on East Gristead every Saturday, even though I live closer to Tunbridge Wells because I love shopping in specialists independent retail outlets for exactly the same reason as you delivered today. Service, subject knowledge and open and honest no nonsense advice and guidance. Impressive in every regard and all served up with such speed and attention. I don’t think five stars are enough but I’m looking forward to joining the tennis club in Cowden to give the new grip on the racket you serviced some stick. Thank you Stuart & Herbert Sports. Great service. Great value and great team delivering great products.”

“New 'Terrace' at The Amex. Excellent job done by BHA. Online ordering app really easy to use- quick and tasty food at concessions. Plenty of bar options for beer, busy !”

“Kyle helped me pick out a new cruiser 10/10 customer service”

“Had a great experience here today looking at ebikes. Helpful, friendly and knowledgeable staff answered all my questions patiently and honestly.”

“Went in with my 10 year old son to buy a complete set of cricket gear. The man that served us was excellent and made sure we got the right equipment - not necessarily the most expensive equipment. Will actively recommend this shop in the future.”

“Joe was super helpful this afternoon, as we had no clue what to buy for our family ski holiday and his advice meant we left the store with the right gear - he was very professional, knowledgeable and patient. If you need ski gear advice he’s the person to speak to!”

“Would definitely recommend broadwater sports for any football shirt printing. Very kindly cut out custom letters and numbers to fit onto an infant kit. Perfect job as seen in photos. Thank you!”

“Thank you hugely to Phil who has helped me again with a car seat, first with advice a while back & then again today he’sshowed me personally in my car as it was already fitted how to adjust & positioning etc. To have an employee who is helpful, kind, who goes above and beyond is amazing.. thank you so much as I really needed expert advice- which I got!”

“The best place to get fitted for new footwear. Not necessarily the cheapest but reliably I get the best result from going here. They really take their time finding the right shoe/ boot and talking through what's good or no so good about each for your particular needs. Came out not exactly walking on a cloud but very happy”

“Wow got that jacket really nice Love it bought first time I will buy more from there Really helpful in chilly”

“Very helpful staff. Just what Madam wanted.”

“I went into Runners Need yesterday to have a gait analysis and to buy some new running trainers. Sofia did my gait analysis and helped me find the best trainers for me. I didn't feel rushed or pressured at all and she had so much invaluable knowledge. I will definitely be recommending this service/ shop to anyone looking to get themselves some new running trainers or get their gait analysed. I also won't be going anywhere else next time I need some new running trainers. Thank you so much Sofia and Runners Need!”

“Fantastic place and very helpful staff. Booked a club fit and turned up early to have a look round as a beginner. It's been over 20 years since I picked up a golf club and was extremely nervous. Stuart made me feel at ease and after half hour had improved my posture and my swing so I was making better connection. Sent away with some great tips to cary on with my journey. A huge thank you to everyone who was there today, you all made me feel relaxed and gave me the inspiration I needed to know I can do this.”

“Best sports shop in town, especially for racket sports”

“Bought a pair of dumbbells back in March and am very satisfied ~ the quality, appearance and workmanship are all first-class; cannot be faulted. Elicited lots of interest at my circuit training group.”

“Been in twice in the last week, both times I was quickly assisted by Danielle who was extremely helpful. She remembered me from my previous visit and my kids twins shoe sizes. Generally seemed happy to help and very smiley and approachable.”

“Jake was amazing with my nephew today. He has Asperger’s and needs to know the logic of why certain products will work or won’t - we spent £600+ on all he needs for his trip to Norway. Without Jake we wouldn’t have had such a successful shop! Thank you”

“Very good shoes, and the lady working at the counter at 2 PM today was very kind and professional.”

“Very helpful staff here. Didn't have to wait long and the staff seemed really keen to help with customer. Enquiries.. I decided to commit for a 50 quid sale in a couple of items. The place can be perfect for adults with. Child. Sized feet. Would return to this store. Unlike. Many in UK.”

“Even tho jd sports I'd a good shop there are a couple of women who work there r quite rude and very much think they are better than others they are always looking like they ave no care for the job and certainly no care for customers. However they ave ad a few new staff members who are very friendly and kind and seem like nothing is to much trouble to help customers”
