REI

"This location is for tech bros. Not much equipment just fleece and co-op branded water bottles. The staff is the opposite of what REI stands for, the Santa Monica location was 10x better. The REI and Co-op brand are completely off track and corporate. I suggest you buy directly from brands or Backcountry."

"Want to thank the young Hispanic bike repairman for the excellent work he did for the installation of my Specialized bike tires and REI inner tube. Parking was no problem and I love the new REI location for its view and better car parking area compare to the old REI in Santa Monica, area. Thank you!"

"The closest rei to my house now that Santa Monica is closing :( A new store that has a nice layout, i’m still learning it but they have everything, the staff are very nice and very knowledgeable which helps me make my decisions. they have good selection of packs and sleeping bags, with the table to try them on, will definitely be coming back and forth between manhattan."

"**REI Marina Del Rey Review: A Little Slice of Outdoor Heaven** Let me tell you about REI in Marina Del Rey – it's like a mini-vacation with shopping bags! Situated right by the marina, this store is as picturesque as they come. You've got boats and water as your backdrop while you're checking out the latest outdoor gear. It's so chill and pretty, it almost feels like you're shopping on vacation. Parking can be a bit of a juggle, as their lot isn’t huge. But don’t sweat it; there are other lots nearby that won’t break the bank and, honestly, the short walk over is part of the charm. You get to soak in those marina views, and it’s totally worth it. The store itself might not be the biggest REI around, but it's like they've packed all the good stuff into a cozier space. They've got everything from cool camping gadgets to the comfiest hiking boots. And if you can't find what you're looking for, just order it online and pick it up at the store. Easy peasy. What I really love about this place is how they make everyone feel welcome. The restrooms are gender-neutral and have baby changing stations – so progressive and thoughtful. And guess what? There’s a Trader Joe's right next door. So, you can gear up for your next hike and grab some snacks all in one go. In short, REI Marina Del Rey is more than just a store – it's a little oasis for outdoor lovers. It’s got a relaxed vibe, great stuff, and an awesome view. It's like they took an REI and dropped it in the middle of a beach holiday. If you're in the area and need some outdoor gear (or just want to feel like you're on a mini getaway), this is the place to be."
