#ProTip: to avoid long opening lines for @REI's garage sale, come in later or Sunday for equally remarkable deals and slelection - new warehouse sale stuff comes out all hours, all weekend long!

They had camping chairs - sized just right, for me and my kid - early in the spring! Guess that makes up for the premium I paid for them!

Ask for Jim Whalen on the weekends. Boulder native, local skateboard hero in the 70s, and super knowledgable, helpful and friendly.

Nice return policies (long terms, new or used) make it easier to decide to buy something.

Came in here to check out bikes to to get tossed out because I have a dog. Real shit policy in Boulder! Seeing you hate dogs so much why carry dog items. I will happily never shop here again.

Most REI's have used gear sales for members. This one has garage sales! Check them out! Also later in the day the reduce price even more to move merchandise!

Hands down, the BEST "Return and Exchanges" policy in the industry: www.rei.com/help/returns.html

Selection is good, but none of the staff I met (3-4) had any helpful knowledge of the products I was interested in. Disappointing, and I ended up going to Boulder Running Co. for trail shoes.

If what you want looks like it is out of stock, ask an employee. They often have more in the stockroom.

Not even a shadow of what REI was meant to be just another corporate behemoth bent on power and money
