You'll be forced to buy online and guess at the size (with the hassle of sending it back if wrong) and you'll lose the benefit of the salesman's knowledge on fit etc.
Support your local shops, don't take the piss out of them.
And yes, I do shop online - but only when I can't get easily locally.

Hein Gericke, that's another story, used to spend quite a bit with them in the past, always bought gloves, boots, cleaning materials from them.
Went in one day £350+ for jacket and gloves, salesman over the moon especially as I'd already said that I'd be back for boots, not to happy when asking him for a refund on the gloves two days later after the so called winter gloves had been of no use whatsoever, "you mustn't have put them on right" being his initial response.
Anyway not my thread so best not to go on,
Basically if your local shop is competitive by all means buy from them.
