    The people that work here are clueless had two different times where I was recommended a size based on whatever uneducated guess the staff was making dude told me to get the same size as my shoe size for gloves and lmao that's completely wrong. Gloves didn't feel right so I looked a size chart up turn out I need two sizes smaller than what was recommended. Now I have to go out of my way to go there and exchange them for the right size kinda ridiculous that the staff barely knows what they are talking about half the time.

    このエリアにはアウトドア系とスポーツ系の店が多い、今回はアウトドアではメジャーなREIのニューヨークの旗艦店舗を訪問、自分も日本でアウトドアショップで働いていますので品揃え、展示の方法、Coop方式、会員特典等勉強になりました。 今後アメリカのNP巡りをする時にお世話になります。

    We had an awesome experience with Evan, who helped us choosing the ski boots. This is our first time purchasing ski boots instead of renting, and Evan did an amazing job communicating his knowledge on ski boots. He helped us identify the best suitable ones that are still available in the shop, catering to each of our unique situations. Thanks Evan!
