There are specialized tourist equipment stores in Tbilisi, you just need to know where to look for them. The maps.me application will show about 10 such stores for the search query “equipment store” in Tbilisi. About half of the locations on the map are outdated information, and when you arrive at the place, you most likely will not find anything there.
If you have a need to buy equipment for hiking in the mountains, ski equipment, climbing equipment, then this advice is for you. Go to the station metro Medical University, near it there are at least three such working shops:
Mplus, coordinates 41.727098, 44.759603, site mplus.ge
Magellan, coordinates 41.724236, 44.760056, site megasport.ge
The North Face (one of the city branches), coordinates 41.727036, 44.763624, site thenorthface.ge
It is better, of course, to come and see everything live, the sites do not always publish the full range of goods.
The range of tourist shops in Georgia is usually expensive goods of famous world brands. Which is not surprising, because it seems that the main customers in these stores are visiting tourists from other countries. Well, simpler equipment is traditionally sold in large hypermarkets and shopping centers somewhere on the outskirts of the city.
Happy shopping!
