Yelp.com Review - by Kathy R.

3.0 of 5 stars. Every now and then I get it in my head that I want a pair of comfortable sporting-type shoes, the better to start walking a lot. (it's been a long, calorie-filled winter). Hence, my trip to REI.I...

Yelp.com Review - by Tricia L.

3.0 of 5 stars. REI has so many different sporting sections that their selection of goods is decent, but not great. Their merch is also on the pricier side, especially if there's not a sale going on. Still, I have...

Yelp.com Review - by Chops S.

3.0 of 5 stars. Good store, nice staff, decent selection, but avoid their ski shop. I was in there the other day trying to get a simple ski binding mount, and the employee I was talking to was clueless. I actually...

4.0 of 5 stars. I [heart] REI. I've been shopping here since I was very little. The staff is always friendly but not pushy and in your face. They have plenty of demo-equipment to play with. They will let you...

Yelp.com Review - by Carolyn G.

4.0 of 5 stars. I enjoy shopping at REI, usually. I struggle with this specific store because it feels like everything is crammed in, and it's difficult to tell how the store is laid out because they make use of the...

Yelp.com Review - by Gina M.

3.0 of 5 stars. I really like this store because you can get trapped in their huge selection of outdoor gear, sporting wear, and any equipment needed for the outdoorsy type of person. The employees are usually nice,...

Yelp.com Review - by Colin C.

1.0 of 5 stars. REI is the Walmart of the outdoor industry. The service is mediocre at best and they sell their member information to 3rd party sources. Support your local gear shops and skip the Co-orporation.
