Regatta Prices

Options
Each time I pass a Regatta shop the massive Discount Sale hits me 40% 60% or whatever. As they are all own brand goods that can’t be the case. Surely there can’t be an ongoing sale

Are these really reduced prices

  • Regatta is good enough kit, and I have plenty, but I must admit, I've never bought any at its "full" price. Most has come from discount outdoor shops where I'm an opportunist shopper, usually finding things on the off-season section.

  • I think they are like those big furniture and carpet shops and just have one sale after another. Madness to pay full price.

    There is a Regatta Outlet store online that I use and has very good prices.

    I have quite a bit of Regatta stuff (hoodies especially) and they're great. Think they were £15 each from the Range a couple of years back and they're still going strong plus are toasty and warm. Waterproof, too!

    I don't go into town centres or look in windows... they're another shop that doesn't do a petite range... so no point looking.

    There are a number of shops that seem to follow this business model..... the thing they all seem to have in common is that they all sell tat.

    I’ve nothing against the quality of their goods, it’s a fair price for what you get.

    My main complaint about them, furniture outlets and other operations are their constant sales and discounts. Common sense would say they are not real!

    Surely, the has to be some form of regulation to protect the consumer. Or are these retailer driving a horse and carriage through whatever is out there.

    It’s not the product I object to but how it is sold
