A backpacking set up for some dinner. REI has an awesome selection of lightweight gear for the thrifty shopper on up. The staff are always helpful, the store clean, and I feel good about the purchases. If there’s an issue, even if it’s used, they’ll take the item back. The believe in their products and their reliability. Membership is awesome too!

This store is arguably the best gateway into getting outside and doing cool things. The breadth of products they offer for basically any outdoor activity is amazing. Their member program is great and really helps save some money at the start of the year. I highly recommend starting at REI for any gear you need on your next adventure.

I really like shopping at REI because I hike and backpack a lot. They always have good quality gear and clothes, and I can usually find everything I need for trips in one place. The employees are also really friendly and helpful. REI is one of my favorite stores for outdoor stuff, and I always have a good experience shopping there.
