I recently purchased the Carhartt Beanie Sock Hat from Sporty’s and couldn’t be happier. The embroidery looks fantastic—clean, sharp, and high-quality. The hat itself feels well-made, just what you’d... See more

Ordered a headset and it came fast

Bought a King headset and a logbook from Sporty's on Monday and it was at my door Wednesday with the stickers they always toss in. Everything matched the site and the price beat the other shop I checked.

2026 FIRC Experience

Took the FIRC course for the third renewal in six years. The content was as it always has been, a little dry but gets the required training accomplished. After passing, I ran into difficulties with getting IACRA data completed. Called Sporty’s and spoke with Eric. He got to the root of the problem (my computer and pop-ups) stayed with me getting that issue resolved and got me on track. It was late in the day and he told me he was going flying, I said thats great, have fun. Next morning at about 7:30 my time i received a message my temporary was
completed. Excellent handling by Eric and Sporty’s. Thank You for a great ending.

It would be beneficial to wait until the product is delivered prior to evaluating the process. Everything went smoothly and my radio adapter arrived right on time. Not tested yet. Very easy to access the products and obtain quality products! Thank you!!

Sporty’s is awesome. Highly recommended

Sporty’s has been awesome for a number of years now on all fronts. Supplies, courses, shipping. I highly recommend them.

I have only had a problem once when something I ordered was damaged in transit. Called them and they promptly took care of it.

I asked for my order to be canceled…

I asked for my order to be canceled within a few minutes of placement. I did not have a response until about 6 hours later that said the order had been shipped so it could not be canceled. I appreciate the rapid shipment but please respond to request sooner.

Sporty's reps are helpful

The person I talked to about by handheld radio told me how to check to see if the problem was the radio or the battery pack. It was the battery pack and I have ordered two replacements.

Quality company

I've ordered from a sportys 2 or 3 times before and have never had any issues with them. So unless their service quality goes to crap I'll continue to work with them.
