if you're looking to find info on Coast Mountain Sports online, there's few and far between. Unlike their competition, MEC, Coast Mountain Sports does not have a good website where you can look or buy stuff online. Just as well though. You can find some pretty good deals, a large part of the second level is devoted to "clearance" items. It requires some scavenging through the racks and racks, but if you find something, it may be well worth it.
They sell a lot of Columbia, The North Face and HH. I was looking for a rain/wind jacket while there. All the staff were extremely helpful and seemed to know their stuff (and their way around the store).
If you aren't entering CMS from the outside entrance (off yonge, on Queen Street), you have to go through Sports Chek, to the second level. It's a bit of a maze, and it's sorta hidden, but if you see the bikes you're on the right track. -

Coast Mountain Sports is an outdoor clothing and gear store that sits somewhere between Europe Bound (aka Worst Store Ever) and MEC (aka Best Store Ever). If you're looking to outfit yourself for a serious outdoor mission, go to MEC (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...). If you just want to pick up a cool Gore-Tex jacket to wear around the city, Coast Mountain should serve you well.
The store is well laid out and organized. The outerwear section has a great selection of brands: Arc'Teryx, North Face, Marmot, Smart Wool, and all many others. Prices are high, but the truth is there are only a few places in town that sell this stuff and most of them are also pricey (e.g. Sporting Life).
If you're looking to buy outdoor gear like tents, water filters, or packs, I wouldn't bother with Coast Mountain; go to MEC instead. Coast Mountain is over priced and I don't feel the staff are all that knowledgeable. Also, nothing compares to MEC's ridiculously good customer service and return policy.
