Camping equipment in Zürich, where to get?

Hello. I'm planning on a camping trip in Switzerland in July. I was wondering where to find camping equipment in Zürich city. All I could find up till now are:

.Transa (Good selection, but bloody expensive)
.Sportxx (small selection)
.Manor (small selection)

Does anyone know a place where to buy equipment, preferably a specialty store like Transa? I would like to do some price comparisons, so online shops are OK too.

Thanx.

Re: Camping equipment in Zürich, where to get?

Last year we bought quite a lot of our kit from Oschener and also Carrefour, baechli Sports has a good selection but its very very expensive.

Or try and get to a Decathalon, on our recent trip back to the UK we bought lots of stuff from Decathalon, very good value - luckily we had the car to transport it all back with us!
