REI

I like and dis like shopping online so it's great to go to the physical store and put hands on the product you see on the web. No guarantee that it will be in stock but normally they'll have something very similar. My trip today was as such, they had two items I wanted and one not in stock but I found another lantern similar to the first in all respects. Great place to also browse around also, found a Helinox chair I've been meaning to buy forever now and snagged that as well. Very helpful staff

Was here for hours picking out a good hiking pack. All the staff were so patient and understanding, working with us to size our different packs. You won't receive personalized attention like this to pick out gear at other outdoor equipment stores.

Great visit to Portland REI. The staff at the door was very helpful. The store was not crowded and felt very safe and clean. A very helpful staff member named Geo spent lots of time helping me fit a backpack, answering many questions and making additional backpacking gear recommendations. Will return!

REI is doing a great job with managing the Covid 19 situation. I appreciated that they sanitized the shoe-try stations and limited customers to only those customers that are currently at a station and working directly with a sales person. I also noticed downstairs that they had very good sales associate coverage. You don't spend much time looking at a given section without being offered assistance. Good job REI!

What do I need to say? Great store! Lots of great camping gear! My wife got a smoking deal yesterday! They were running a shoe sale and she got snow boots and hiking boots, both high end brand names, for $50 total! I couldn't believe it! We need to check for sales there more often.
