The trails are calling, the campfires are waiting, and there’s no better place to be in the summer than right here in Newfoundland. Whether you’re planning a weekend camping trip to Butter Pot, hiking the East Coast Trail, or just spending more time outdoors, Avalon Mall has everything you need to gear up and get going.
Here’s your one-stop guide to outdoor essentials, all available right here at the mall!
Jackets & Outerwear
Let’s be honest, in Newfoundland, a good jacket is a year-round essential. Even in the height of summer, the weather can turn on you fast, so layering up is always the smart move. Whether you need a lightweight windbreaker for a breezy hike, a waterproof shell for those inevitable rainy days, or a cozy insulated jacket for cooler evenings at the campsite, Mountain Warehouse has a fantastic range to choose from.
Look for features like sealed seams, breathable fabrics, and packable designs that won’t take up your whole bag. A good outer layer is one of the best investments you can make for outdoor adventures on the island.
Boots Built for the Outdoors
The right pair of boots can make or break a trip. For outdoor adventures here in NL, you want something waterproof, supportive, and tough enough to handle everything from rocky coastal paths to soggy bog. Mountain Warehouse carries a solid selection of hiking and trail boots for men, women, and kids, so the whole family can hit the trails in comfort.

Camping Gear and Sleep Systems
Planning a camping trip? Mountain Warehouse is your go-to for all the essentials. From sleeping bags rated for cool NL nights to tents, camping chairs, and everything in between, you can get fully kitted out without leaving the mall. Their sleeping bags come in a range of temperature ratings, so whether you’re a fair-weather camper or planning a shoulder-season adventure, there’s something for you.
Pro tip: even if you already have a tent, a quality sleeping bag liner can make a huge difference on those chilly nights when the temperature drops more than expected.
Backpacks and Daypacks
A great backpack is the backbone of any outdoor adventure. Whether you need a lightweight daypack for a few hours on the trail or a larger multi-day pack for an overnight trip, Mountain Warehouse has options to suit every outing. Look for padded shoulder straps, hip belt support, and water-resistant materials to keep your gear dry and your back happy.
Layer Up: Base Layers & Mid Layers
Layering is the secret to staying comfortable outdoors in Newfoundland’s famously changeable weather. A moisture-wicking base layer keeps you dry when you’re working up a sweat on a climb, while a fleece mid-layer traps warmth when you stop for a break. Mountain Warehouse carries a great range of technical base layers, fleeces, and softshell pieces that work together as a system.
From the gear on your back to the snacks in your bag, Avalon Mall has everything you need for your next Newfoundland adventure. Stop in, get outfitted, and go enjoy everything this incredible island has to offer. We’ll see you on the trail!
