MY QUEST FOR WOMEN'S SNOW PANTS…read more.. I was in need of buying my own pair of snow pants for an upcoming snowboarding trip where I did not want to spend too much, but wanted some quality pants that wouldn't rip after one use. let me tell you... I searched far and wide! I first initially searched on amazon and all of those seemed to be poor quality for those under $40 and I could not try on so I opted to not buy online. I then went to nearby stores (REI - best quality, most expensive & Dick's Sporting Goods - middle of REI & Big 5 with pants around $60 and slightly better quality than Big 5). my last stop was at Big 5 (I also happened to get in the mail a day before I went a $10 of $30 purchase!) and was pleasantly surprised! I had not been to Big 5 in years, but they have almost everything packed into this relatively small store!!!! from camping to snow gear to sports gear they had a wide selection. I was going in February so it was nice to see they had a whole rack or two for snow pants and I found a pair of pants for $40 that fit perfect for my height and may not have been as thick as REI/Dick's but it still was a easier and better design but cheaper with a quality that would hold going a few times a year. when checking out I used my coupon for $10 off and to my surprised the pants were also on sale for another $5 off... so in total my good quality snow pants were $25!!!!!!! CAN YOU BEAT THAT?! PROS: -really nice, chill staff and didn't even look down upon me for using a coupon! they even made conversation so I really liked this place -the discounts they normally have! -every couple of weeks I get mailed a coupon for $10 of $30 and this came much in handy! -the variety -low prices -changing rooms (2) -easy, huge parking lot CONS: -none! OVERALL: do not be a fool, look at Big 5 along with the other big name chains and you won't regret it!

Big 5 is an interesting spot. If I had a kid where I needed to outfit them for a sport, but they…read morewere not overly competitive, I would shop here. Everything seems aimed at the mid-range market. Not toys like you would get at Target or Walmart, but also not the high end equipment you would get at a specialty store. There are also lots of things for game rooms, family picnics... sports equipment that again, it elevated from the toy category but not what you would get at a high end shop. The type of stuff that won't break after one use but also not where you are going to be upset if you forget it at the park.

At first, neanderthal…read morequestion whether it is humane to make shoe out of puma, but after trying on shoe yesterday, decide it so light wait and convertible that it no matter. Ha ha, just kid. It not actually made from real puma, that just a joke I guess. Neanderthal previewsly wear nike for to go run, but code worker tell neanderthal that she actually prefer puma for to run shoes. Neanderthal think about it, and after leave nike outlet unsatisfly, try puma. Like say already, so convertible when to wear, and quality seem to be on park with nike. Except one minor caviar, they only cost $35! Neanderthal have enough money to buy twelve pack on way home ha ha. Try them out running last night too and feel like running on cloud (actual cloud, not apple cloud). Feel so good. Custom in serviced also good. Man who work at reginster very friendly. Forget name. And several hour after get home, neanderthal realize he left bag from old navy with two new shirt at puma store. Neanderthal call puma store and they say someone had turn in bag to front, and they hold it for me. Neanderthal thought bag was toast. Not actual toast like with bread, but figured of saying where it gone ha ha. Neanderthal is puma fan now.

The sign on the shelf for 4oz and 8oz ISO did not specify which brand so I asked a friendly associate. I didn't know that JetBoil branded isobutane canister can be used for MSR and vice versa. Cool beans! Also, the 8oz is a better deal than the 4oz and the only disadvantage is that it won't fit inside the JetBoil pot. The cashier asked if I want to apply some past credit I forgot about which brought the total expense even less! While there, I checked out the latest trail running footwear which I am due to be acquiring as well! Came in the middle of the week at 3pm and very few shoppers.

One star review…read more What happened to REI? I had a very bad experience at REI Tustin on El Camino Real. EVA and manager AARON falsely accused me of returning the wrong item, even though the item matched my REI account, app, original tags, barcode, and product details. They made this accusation in front of my family and other customers, which was very embarrassing. I asked them a simple question: "What exactly is different?" They refused to answer. That tells me they had no real answer. They accused me first, then avoided explaining their own accusation. While EVA was still processing the return, AARON told me to leave and threatened security for no valid reason. After all that, they still processed the return. So the item was correct all along. This was a false accusation, poor judgment, zero accountability, and terrible management. REI leadership should review this incident seriously.

The inner area in front of the cash registers was for the shoe products. My boyfriend and I never knew that Columbia had shoe products so we were surprised and ended up checking out the various shoes they had. Sonia was extremely helpful for us and we ended up walking out buying a couple of shoes. Our purchase came with the choice of which tote bags, and we both got the dark purple one. Santiago at checkout was super friendly too and they have a rewards program you can sign up for!

If you enjoy being ignored, disrespected, and talked to like you're a nothing, this is the place…read morefor you. The staff here, especially one particular attendant, is shockingly rude, condescending, and downright aggressive. They act like they're doing you a favor just by acknowledging your presence. It's clear they've never heard of customer service or basic decency. I witnessed discriminatory behavior that made me incredibly uncomfortable, and it wasn't subtle. If you're expecting professionalism, kindness, or even minimal respect, avoid this store at all costs. There are plenty of places where you're treated like a human being this is not one of them. They were even talking to each other about the customer where we all could hear it. Sounds crazy! Management please take note. Clearance items prices are outrageous for stuff that is not worth it and belongs to 2-3 years ago.

The workers here are super friendly, and are more than happy to see if they have additional stock in the back. Prices are pretty competitive, and with items ranging from $39-159.

Was rather disappointed to see how small the store was compared to all the ones I've been to. Very low on stock also. Not a lot of selection.

The store was very well organized though.

Steven welcomed me and walked me through what to expect for my first visit. Soon after, Karina introduced herself and guided me through their 3D Perfect Fit System to analyze the exact dimensions of my feet, my arch profile, pressure & biomechanics. Based on the analysis, she brought out the custom-fitted insoles + 3 shoe options. She provided incredible, personalized guidance on the differences between the shoe brands. While HOKA was among the 3 options, I was pleasantly surprised that the other 2 options were also comfortable. I ended up buying a pair of Brooks Glycerin 23. With the 90 day perfect fit guarantee policy, I can exchange if I am not happy with it. I ended up buying the custom-fitted insoles based on the analysis that the pressure on my feet were not evenly distributed, and because it felt really good. This store offers a family membership ($20 for 6 months) that gives you a 10% discount and a 90-day perfect fit guarantee policy. You also will earn 5% VIP rewards that you can use for a future purchase in the store or online. IMHO, if you're buying multiple items, signing up for membership makes sense. If you want expert, no-pressure help finding the right athletic shoe, come check them out. Outstanding experience from start to finish!
