Rigad

Rigad is a Czech company that brings together an online store, warehouse, and physical shops focused on outdoor and tactical equipment. Its retail history began in 2011 with the Top-ArmyShop website; the first Semily store opened in 2013. The company adopted the Rigad name in 2024 after expanding its reach and developing additional locations.

The catalog is organized for different settings: hiking, camping, travel, field work, and activities that call for durable equipment. It includes functional clothing, jackets, pants, boots, backpacks, bags, sleeping bags, tents, lighting, camp kitchenware, and survival accessories. The range also covers tactical and shooting equipment, presented as part of a specialist retailer’s broader clothing, gear, and accessories selection.

The company carries international brands such as Tilak Military Gear, Lowa, and Tasmanian Tiger, as well as brands it distributes exclusively, including Vertx, Aku, Big Frig, Agilite, and others. The online store lets shoppers filter for availability online or at a particular branch, and some products can be picked up in person. Stock can vary by location, so the catalog distinguishes availability and transfers.

Semily is home to the company’s headquarters and main store at Nádražní 21, in the Podmoklice district. Rigad places the town about 25 miles from Liberec and 11 miles from Turnov. The store brings together retail space, a warehouse, and offices and serves as a hub for online sales. The official store page lists free parking and an approximately 4,300-square-foot showroom.

Rigad also has a store at Nedvědova 389/2 in Olomouc and another at Hlučínská 1177 in Ostrava. The Olomouc location expanded in 2020 and offers outdoor equipment, apparel, and other products on its ground floor; a training center also operates in the building. The Ostrava store opened in 2024 and resumed operations after that year’s floods. Together, the three addresses serve different regions of the country.

The online operation extends the company’s reach: in 2023, Rigad announced shipments to more than 50 countries, and it now says it delivers across Europe and much of the world. The web store brings together product details, availability information, and original editorial content about equipment, clothing, and care. Those guides help shoppers compare items before visiting a branch or placing an order.

In Semily, Rigad maintains the connection between the brand and its local roots; in Olomouc and Ostrava, it adds stores for customers who prefer to see equipment in person. The mix of physical retail, online shopping, and a range spanning clothing, boots, and camping gear makes it a specialist retailer with a national reach. The hours listed here apply only to the Semily location.
