    We love spending time in the outdoors so we frequent REI. Not the cheapest prices, but fair for the quality gear they sell, plus they frequently have sales. Clothes & gear I get from REI tends to last me a long time, making it worth the price. I especially like that I can try on clothes instead of ordering online & hoping I order the right sizes. Plus their return policy is more than reasonable.

    For your bike and ebike needs see MIKE the BIKE mechanic at REI North Hills! Even if you didn't buy your bike there, they will service your bike with the best customer service and expertise. I got my annual ebike tuneup there, brake adjustments, and most recently, I had a flat tire, and they fixed it fast and I was back on my bike. Mel is also a mechanic there, and every time I go there, I learn more and more about my bike. I'm so grateful!

    I went in to look at, try on and buy a garmin fenix 8 watch. I was able to find the watch display. (very small tucked under the stairs) You can't even pick up the watch from the display. The cage under the display was completely empty. This particular watch had its price written on a tiny chalkboard that looked like it had been erased a bunch. Also the price was the highest I had seen anywhere. The little chalkboard thing didn't sit well with me. Also looked at some rain jackets. Also very high-end. Nice stuff but out of my budget for my use.

    Great customer experience at REI in North Hills Raleigh. My recent experiences have been great. Today Tyler and Mike were very helpful. I had a return and purchased new cycling shoes.
