Snow Peak

"Ralph helped me in store while on vacation in Portland. Extremely knowledgeable about the products and really cared about making sure I was able to find everything I was looking for. Even pointed out some really sick products that I didn’t know existed. Great experience, will be returning."

"I adore this store! I am so blessed that we have the North American HQ for SP in our city. It really is a lovely store. I like to think of it as a showroom. While they may not have the best price,(online is often cheaper, especially with third-party coupons) you get to experience all their gear in person. The staff is super knowledgeable and friendly. While you do pay a premium for the product, the service and the quality are absolutely evident. I look forward to checking out your new camp ground with an onsen(!) in Washington!"

"The staff is friendly but everything is extremely expensive. Well, the price also comes with quality. You can get the best camping gear here at Snow Peak’s HQ in North America."

"A retail store that's a reflection of the brand. The flagship store is the Japanese camping company's stamp on the US market and what better place than where it all started (on this country), here in Portland. Seamlessly blending wide open spaces, tidbits about the history and founding of the brand, materials, and lighting, the store is an experience you can appreciate even if you are new to the brand."

"What a neat store that allows you to fully immerse yourself in the Snow Peak universe. It's like a minimalist, designer version of REI that makes camping seem fun and trendy. Be careful or else you might find yourself overly inspired as you impulse a full camping set. The staff here is great, eager to explain what makes their products unique and demonstrate how to use them. It seems they take a long term approach to acquiring customers, which is great for not feeling pressured to buy something and take time to decide what's right for you. Overall, definitely check out this unique outdoors store if you find yourself in Portland."
