We booked ski equipment from here and arrived at peak time on a Saturday evening. However the staff have a very clear production line and we were soon dealt with. When my first boots didn't fit quite right there were no quibbles and another option was immediately available. Equipment was all fairly new and in good condition. Staff were friendly and helpful. You do need to register on their system when you arrive but evidently if you book on their website they will already have asked for a lot of the same information so it makes the process easier. Returns was easy, they just scanned the bar code on the boots and skis and off we went. Note that there is parking outside of the shop but it can get quite busy as it's shared with some hotels. We parked in the pay and display just down the hill and then took the car up after we'd got our equipment.

My friend and I rented two high end road bikes for our 7-day cycling trip thru the Dolomites, climbing almost all of the famous Passos of the historic Giro’ routes. Our tight schedule (cycling everyday and covering both the Arabba region & Bormio) meant that we needed reliable bikes. We arrived at the shop in the afternoon only to find two bikes (Pinarello & Specialized) all ready for us. Based on prior communications with Ivo re the size and measurements of my bike at home, Ivo prepared them and I did not have to make ant adjustments other than putting on my own pedals. My bike (Pinarello Gan model) was a reliable work horse as we covered 450 miles over 40,000 feet of climbing. Not a single mechanical issue was experienced. My friends bike needed a minor adjustment on his shifter but that was it? When my friend experienced a small cut after two days, they immediately replaced the tire so we won’t be stuck in a long climb. Very responsive and professional service.... The only downside I experienced was that despite stating our rental period in advance, Ivo booked my bike for a large group rental, which forced me to return my bike one day earlier than I wanted. He told me about it before I arrived but given limited selections available, I went with his shop anyway. Once a deposit is made, this should not happen although I can understand his business decision not to loose a “bigger deal.” With proper communication, I think this can be avoided. We were impressed by the way our bikes were ready for pick up and the high quality rental bikes that were available at the shop. No other shops seemed to have the same caliber of rental bikes. If you want high end carbon road, mountain or even E-bikes, Breakout is the place to go. I would highly recommend and will go back to rent in a heartbeat.
