MetrOasis and Ting San Iou are the places to go. Both are near the train station.
Both are on Zhongshan N. Road, close to the train station. Ting San Iou is close to the corner of Zhongshan and Zhongxiao, and MetrOasis is just north of the corner of Zhongshan and Civic Blvd.

There's also a Metro-Oasis in the Carrefour/B&Q complex in Yonghe in case anyone is interested.

Where to find backpacking gear?
by jallands » 18 Apr 2011, 00:19
Hi, I'm on the lookout to get some gear such as a backpack (40 liters or so), some quick-dry pants, a down jacket, silk sleepersac, aloksac, etc. I've been through the few stores by Taipei Main Station, but am looking for possibly cheaper options as well as... just more. The prices weren't bad, but if there's a great place to pick up gear I'd love to know about it!

The train station is a good area. Also Qixzhang MRT station area now has a number of shops, including a North Face outlet. Guting station has a shop I like. Take exit 2 and then turn right. Turn right again at the end of the tiny alley and you'll find a shop 50mm up the road.
Also ask Kat (whose email I sent you) as she knows a great shop in Neihu.

“Everywhere else in the world is also really old” said Prof. Liu, a renowned historian at Beijing University. “We always learn that China has 5000 years of cultural heritage, and that therefore we are very special. It appears that other places also have some of this heritage stuff. And are also old. Like, really old.”

There's a decent one near exit 2 of Shilin MRT on Wenlin Rd. Packs, hiking boots and sleeping bags on 2F, everything else on 1F.

There are about 4-5 outdoor stores on Xinyi Road just west of Da'an MRT station.

Folks seeking outdoor gear might also want to checkout Jackson and Campsaver.
Jackson is a Belfast shop that offers top gear at very reasonable prices. Surprisingly, because of the VAT exemption, many of the products are actually cheaper to purchase online from Taiwan, even when shipping is included, than from anywhere in the UK.

Campsaver's main appeal is free shipping to Taiwan if you spend over USD 500 (22 kg limit).

This is my current favorite shop:

It's in Neihu near Costco. Some of the best prices/selection in town, and a comprehensive website that lists pretty much everything they sell!
