I ended up getting a glove liner for my actual gloves and it worked out well. The cold weather sock selection could be better but what I got worked well enough. I was looking for an extreme cold sock but could not find one. No one spoke but I didnt expect it either. Cashier was nice and sweet. Good experience for a dicks in the mall.

They had the product for the price I expected. I was helped by a very nice, knowledgeable and…read morepersonable man. I would give him a 5 star rating. The check-out was less than pleasant. The check-out staff spoke very quickly and was difficult to understand. I asked him to repeat a couple of times and then asked if he would speak slower as I was having difficulty understanding him. When we left, in a very exaggerated low and slow voice - think recording at a slow speed - he thanked us with the standard "Dick's farewell" line. I felt that was a rude response to a legiment request. I would give him a 1 star rating. Since it was the last impression as I left the store, it carries more weight.

I rememeber my grandfather taking me totheir old store as a child, such good memories. Very friendly and knowledgable service staff, good prices and just a great way to spend some time geeking out on projects, etc. One great thing I found in the bird (chicks, ducks, etc.) department is a sign that read "Bird's are cute, but are living things and require the correct care, please use discretion and responsibility in buying birds" That says a LOT in my book. I gotta love a place I can get a new wardrobe, a toilet and beef jerky!

We went in to exchange it and they could have not been more accommodating. She did not have the receipt and had removed the tags. They knew it was their product and were happy to make the swap for a larger size. As she made the swap, I browsed through the store with my other cousin. Oh my, the variety of merchandise was mind blowing. They had everything you'd need for a camping trip. They even sell camping packages for the boundary waters and when you check-in on Yelp they offer a 15% off coupon. If you're a fisher, they also offer live bait to help you catch that big fish. That way your "big fish" story will be truth instead of a made up one. My other cousin who was traveling with us, caught so much fish during our trip, that when we left Ely, we had to stop at Spirit to buy dry ice. When in Ely, I highly recommend that you shop, Spirit.
