'Hope Outdoors' has been a familiar browse & shop stop for us during several stays in Hope. During…read morethe most recent mid-June stay, our stop found the same friendly and helpful staff, back into the recently, totally-renovated, original downtown location of its store.
'Shiny-new' and bright quarters, with nicely-stocked, and well displayed offerings of just about "anything & everything" one could wish to see when thinking of outdoor 'wants & requirements' - including clothes, gear, and accessories re: camping, hiking, fishing, hunting, emergency/survival supplies, and so much more!
On this stop, I was seeking a jacket -- a 'shell-type', heavy enough for fall wear, but roomy enough to accommodate a heavy sweater, vest, or such for winter wear. I really liked the styles and qualities of what they had to offer, but try as I did, just could not catch a size to properly fit me. Will catch another look or two before fall sets in, and check on what might be available. Plus, my eyes caught some 'sandals' during this stop, and they definitely need a closer, second look, and try-on.
Total shopping interests at a shop like 'Hope Outdoors' are on the rather narrow side for me now. But I really like to browse this wonderful shop in Hope, even if it is just to soak in the 'feel' I get, and 'memories' it provides of many past, and wider outdoor interests, and experiences. Thanks to the staff - for their cordial, and helpful service!
