Theres the Cotswold Outdoor/Camping place on the old Basingstoke road, near to the Safeway/Morrisons superstore, no doubt the actual address will be on the Cotswold website.

JM, The Cotswold store is along the B3033 by Whitley and pretty easy to find if you just drive along it. (Like Ogri said, the old Basingstoke Road) Its a pretty good store.
The only other places in Reading that I've ever found are Blacks and Millets, both of which are near to the Broad Street Mall on Saint Mary's Butts. (But i doubt either of them will do the Karrimor sabre sacks, although you may find a civi alternative)
Let us know if you find anywhere more exciting

IIRC Reading's got a Cotswolds (as discussed), a Millets & Blacks within 20m of each other (literally opposite sides of the road). Just around the corner from those two is Silvertrek, a pricey shop, but they do know their stuff!
There used to be an Army Surplus shop, Storms, but I think that may have closed now.

God, as my UK trip has been sabotaged by my company, I went to find a karrimor sabre delta 35 by myself, and found a source in germany that sells them for 99 Euro + 12 insured transport in Europe. As the most common price in UK is 99 pounds plus 20 transport in europe, it does cost one third less than a UK retailer price... Indeed being a German shop, they prefer bank transfer to credit card, and have a 15 days delay, but that is worth the saving.
