REI

"I used to love coming to REI. They had great gear and helpful associates. I purchased a pair of Oboz boots there a few years ago. I was reassured by the associate that the boots would absolutely not delaminate...ever. Guess what? They started delaminating at the toe. I tried to return them to no avail. The associate suggested I get some "shoe goo" and fix them myself. I understand that the boots were out of warranty. However, I only wear my hiking boots while hiking, I would say I wore them 3 dozen times. I guess the moral of the story is: don't bother with "high end" gear anymore. It's not worth the money."

"Went looking for gels for a trail race. They have a ton of options. The employees were friendly but didn’t seem to know a ton about the gels, just which ones they liked. I’d definitely stop here again for running supplies!"

"I'm becoming less and less impressed with this REI over the years. It's a small store so they're inventory must be curated. It's basically a small boutique of outdoor / outdoor-adjacent clothing and a minimal selection of gear. They often tell you in the store that they don't have it but they can order it online. But I can order it online, and probably for much cheaper. So I've wasted my time, and you'll waste yours. They probably won't have the exact gear you're looking for for your next trip. But they do have enough cool stuff look pretty and impress your non-outdoorsy friends. I like REI the company. And the people who work here have been pretty nice. But I'm a tall guy, most things don't fit me in this store. And I've had bad luck finding the gear I want in the store. But if you're a medium/average sized person, and are not looking for a specific piece of clothing or gear, I might be worth stopping by."

"I love coming to REI! You always find something you want and maybe even a few things you need. I have had my skis waxed here, but ski equipment such as helmet, ski pants, poles, shirts, clearance items, and of course Yeti products. One of the great things about the REI coupons that they send out every now and then for 20% off is that you can use it on yeti products. I couldn't believe they weren't excluded. I ended up buying a large yeti cooler with a 20% discount so that I felt much better about buying it. Yeti coolers are worth the money! Great store to get your ski , bike, camping, hiking, running, etc. equipment. REI is definitely worth the membership. Have fun getting outside!"

"Rei is my default for all things outdoors! I prefer to buy real gear that actually lasts and Rei only carries quality goods. Furthermore I love how everyone at the store knows their stuff. Every single time I go I get approached by a staff member asking if I need help. Usually they are able to answer most specific questions about products and make recommendations. So keep up the good work!"
