    Amerphil was incredible! I am heading to freezing weather for outward bound and he made my life easy. People like him are the reason I buy gear at rei.

    We came to REI to simply replace a part on the bike, which had broken. Kayla took on the project from top to bottom, adjusting everything from brakes to pedals and finished by replacing the necessary part and adjusting the stem and handlebars to perfection all of this between 730 and eight closing hours. She did an exceptional job and we will return to REI for all of our biking needs in the future.

    I brought my son’s bike in looking for a replacement front axle nut. The team was incredibly friendly, from being greeted at the door to the bike team taking the time to fix a five year old’s bike. Thank you REI team

    REI refuses to embrace the future of backpacking and hiking which is ultra lite. Everything they carry is out dated heavy equipment not worth buying. I would never buy a pack, tent, or sleeping bag from them. Something are ok sleeping pad cook kit but nothing else. I highly recommend Garage grown gear for your backpack needs they actually know what’s going on

    Tried to make a return. Apparently the item was unreturnable, which is fine. No big deal. But just out of the gate they were very rude about it. It was straight accusatory with a “you should’ve known better” attitude. Customer Service is not a high priority at this location.
