If you are a fan then there's not a lot I can say that will give you new information, but that's not a bad thing. We needed to grab a jacket for my wife because, even though it was the middle of summer, we have lived in Las Vegas for several years now and AK summer is about the smae as the dead of winter in our new hometown. We were able to find her a jacket in the bargain cave to wear for our week there and probably won't wear much ever again. this made us grateful for the bargain cave price. The employees were very friendly and helpful and the whole asthetic was awesome, as always.

She was kind and helpful in a situation where I felt like I could've been judged. She didn't overwhelm me with facts or talk too quickly about specifics I needed to hear...she just listened really well to me. She got me rental skis that were perfect, even though at the time I thought they wouldn't be wide enough, and I ended up buying exactly the pair that she had recommended. As an older and not incredibly knowledgeable skier, I appreciated the way Laura listened and responded to me.

When the big chain stores are out of what you need for lures these folks often still have them in stock.

Got email saying order was cancelled due to insufficient inventory, YET they still have them available in Alaska. BREAKING NEWS: UPS and others ship World Wide. The "nice customer support person" told me I could go to Alaska to get it? WOW is all I have to say. I get that it was a clearance sale product, but if you advertise it, allow customer to purchase it, pay for it, you expect it to be shipped!!!

This store is the worst. I ordered a gun. They did not have it ready to pick up when advertised,…read morethen when I finally did get there to pick it up they said they had cancelled my order and refunded me without notice. I also never saw a refund. Wasted my time and I still haven't gotten my money back. AVOID. Full story follows... Ordered a gun on August 17th. I live 2.5 hours' drive away from the store. Estimated pickup was August 25. I had a trip to Anchorage planned for early September so it seemed like that was fine. August 25th came and went with no update. On the 28th I contacted customer support and they said the gun had arrived but wasn't ready to be picked up yet. My trip to Anchorage came and went. While there I stopped by the store but they said I couldn't pick it up yet... OK... Fine. I don't know when I'll be back to Anchorage, but whatever. Finally I got a notice on September 4th (11 days later than advertised) that my gun was ready for pickup. Well now I couldn't get to Anchorage for a bit. Should be fine right? They delayed me so they should be able to handle a delay from my end. I can't make it to Anchorage on the regular. I went to Anchorage today October 4th, to finally get my gun. I had multiple emails (the last from September 29th) saying my gun was ready for pickup. I go into the store and they couldn't find it. Then they told me that the order had automatically been cancelled because I didn't pick it up in time. They said I should have been automatically refunded. I hadn't. I also hadn't received any notice about this. I got a little heated and they threatened to kick me out of the store. Fine. I calmed down. I asked if the gun was there today. They said it was. I asked if I could buy it at the same price that I ordered it for (I ordered it on sale). They said they could not honor that. I walked out. I just got home from Anchorage and I double-checked my credit card and I still have not received a refund. They will be getting a charge-back from me as they have essentially ROBBED me at this point beyond wasting my time and being completely unhelpful in any way whatsoever. THIS STORE HAS THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED AND I WILL NEVER SHOP HERE AGAIN.

REI Anchorage is in its third location since I started shopping here in the '80s. This one is way large. special shout out to the ski rental shop, and honorable mention to Marcus for taking the time to chat with us about what we needed, where the trails were good - etc. Rented two days for nice cc skiing at Kincaid, equipment was in great condition. ended up buying a pair of boots after great assistance with trying them on (though one does have to make oneself visible - the staffing is a little lean imo). all a way of saying, i am glad REI continues to be a great resource in my hometown. recommend you shop here.

The guys working there were all so kind and helpful as we looked through everything, asked a few questions and my son also tried on a few different boots. While we were there a gal came in looking for winter gear for someone else and while she didn't really know what she was looking for, he mentioned 'our gear is more for sitting still and staying warm' and I thought that was pretty spot on. As avid hunters know, there tends to be a lot of sitting there while looking for game. I interjected to help a girl out and sent her to check out Big Rays after chatting about what she needed. Anywho, this place is great for exactly that... High end quality gear to keep you both warm and dry when the weather is absolute crap or the fall season is turning.
