I'm both their flagship and SF stores the services has been great, attentive but not intrusive. If you're in Seattle you should definitely stop by and support a a longer term local merchant. Unfortunately there's not too many of them left. I'll keep going back 2/13/2026. I just received my repaired waxed canvas jacket back. I have worn this coat for at least 7 years and have had two repairs done on it. They do a fantastic job and I could not be happier. The jacket shows every scar from my abuse but I continue to wax it 1-2x per year and it keeps going. If they still made this coat I'd buy another, until then I'll keep getting it repaired. Their clothes are worth every penny. I continue to shop with them and and am glad to spend my money with a company that appreciates their customers.

And having programs that raise awareness of environmental and social issues. My favorite program is Worn Wear. You can either sell Patagonia your used clothes or trade them in so they can fix it. I believe that reusing is better than recycling. Furthermore, they give you credit ranging from $15 to $150.

This place had it all from sleeping bag military systems, to general TA50, tents, knives etc.... Good place to to get your outdoor gear, rucksack, bags, all necessities. Whats cool they even have a good assortment of flashlights. Great place with good service and knowledgeable staff.

The place has ample seating for people come and work. The staff was welcoming. What's not to love!

Gearhouse is amazing…read more I stumbled onto the site while looking for gear rental. My friend was flying up from the Bay Area for a break, and we were looking to go on an overnight camping trip. He'd never backpacked before, and while I'd been a few times, I'd always gone with friends who had the gear and knew what they were doing. After hours of research on spring hikes, we chose a hard first hike, the Lakeshore Trail in Chelan. It trip was 17 miles with 3500ft elevation gain, which we we had to do as an overnight trip because of other commitments. When renting gear you have a few options. There are a number of online companies that will drop gear off at your house, but they never responded to my emails. I figure they don't really exist and their websites are phantoms. The real default in Seattle is REI. REI provides a great service, but the experience at Gearhouse is way better. REI only offers a la carte options, you have to cobble together a gear list and pick the right items. At Gearhouse, you don't have that labor. You have a conversation about the hike you are doing and some preferences about the items you want, and they pick out a full list for you. The gear they carry is better, on our trail we met a backpacker that regularly does 200+ mile trips, and she had the same ultralight gear we rented. For items they don't carry they'll provide recommendations for you to buy. It's a huge help. REI also requires you to clearly specify dates for pickup and drop-off and charges per day. Gearhouse has a six-day window for members. You can pick up gear a bit early when it's easy for you without worrying about a micro-cost for one extra day. And if you get back late or want to take an extra day on the hike, you don't have to worry about missing a drop-off. Also, each tent and sleeping combo is a bit different, so we literally set up the tent in the Gearhouse space before we left. When we got to our campground we had intense wind, and without that prep it would have been frustrating to get everything together on the spot. That's not something you get with most rental companies. Finally, remember the hours I spent planning a hike. Well, if I'd signed up to Gearhouse earlier, I would have saved that time. They're experts and they will sit and listen to what you want and help pick out the perfect hike. I know this review is effusive, but I'm being genuine. This is a great service run by real experts who care about their members, the outdoors, and making sure folks have a great experience.
