  Aaron was very helpful in setting me up with a new 48L Osprey backpack for my backpacking in Australia. He got me fitted and was very informative. Thanks to all those workers for the help too!

  Was in need of an extra few pairs of socks on my work-trip, and found a great selection of sale socks in lil buckets in the back. Thankful!

  Basically the adult version of a candy store REI in Bozeman is dangerous for my wallet. Every time I walk in I somehow convince myself that I absolutely need another piece of outdoor gear. 😂 The staff here are consistently helpful and knowledgeable, which makes a huge difference when you’re trying to figure out what you actually need versus what just looks cool on the shelf. I’ve had employees take the time to answer questions, help me compare options, and point me toward the right gear without making me feel like I’m bothering them. The selection is great, especially for the things you actually need living in Montana. Whether I’m getting ready for a hiking trip, camping, or just looking for something I didn’t realize I needed until I walked through the door, they usually have a pretty good chance of getting me taken care of. I’ve also had great experiences with the bike shop. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that I wish the Bozeman location didn’t feel so cramped and overcrowded. I may be tainted by having visited the Billings store which is massive and feels like and outdoorsman’s paradise but the Bozeman store does feel very crowded even when no one is in there. Overall, though, this is one of those stores that feels like it belongs in Bozeman. Good people, good gear, knowledgeable staff, and everything you need to convince yourself that your next outdoor adventure requires approximately $400 more equipment than you originally planned on buying.

  Great place all around. Makes Bozeman a place you can enjoy! Here, people behave themselves in a way that coincides with people who live in Prague. For example, the biggest smile you get out of these folks is an upward frown smile. But here, at REI, the environment seriously gives you an exciting look at the best outdoor gear, with knowledgeable workers, presentable selections throughout the store, and great member benefits.
