About
Outside Mountain Equipment is one of Buenos Aires' premier outdoor gear retailers, serving as the go-to destination for families preparing for the kind of serious outdoor adventures that Argentina's extraordinary landscape demands. Whether you're heading to Patagonia, the Andes, or one of the many national parks accessible from Buenos Aires, this is where knowledgeable staff and quality equipment meet.
For families traveling with older kids and teens who are passionate about outdoor pursuits — hiking, climbing, camping, trail running — Outside Mountain Equipment is worth a visit simply as a resource. The staff know their products and they know Argentina's terrain, which means the advice you get here is genuinely useful rather than generic retail guidance.
The children's and youth outdoor gear selection is solid, covering everything from hiking boots and technical clothing to climbing harnesses sized for younger bodies. If you're putting together gear lists for a multi-day hike or teaching teenagers to take outdoor adventures seriously, this is the right starting point.
As a retail experience rather than a recreational venue, this isn't a half-day destination. But as part of trip planning — or when something critical breaks or gets forgotten — it's the kind of specialist shop that's genuinely invaluable. The location in Buenos Aires means you can gear up properly before heading into the less commercially equipped regions of Argentina.
