That shop's manager has now opened Lake State Mountaineering with similar wares and similar values. So we're talking high quality canoeing, climbing, camping, and hiking gear from a combination of large, small, and local vendors. They have a website you can order from, but if you want to browse in person and get knowledgeable advice from this passionate crew, you can pop into the shop. They have some pretty high-end merchandise, but I'm seeing some tempting sale offers and they have a rental program that might help you get kitted out for an adventure. This storefront location might be tricky to find at first. Enter through the building's Washington Avenue door, next to the barber shop, then follow the signs through the door there and up the stairs, where you'll spot them. I promise there's a nice store up there! You're on your own for parking but it's easy enough to find metered street parking. If you want to properly gear up for this kind of activity and want the best equipment, sold to you be a locally-owned store who will give you honest recommendations that come from deep experience, this is where to go.

At the…read moretime I visited they're going through their end of season sale and practically the entire store is on sale. They also carry high quality gear like marmot and Patagonia and those are not excluded from sale which is a rarity. Definitely a hidden gem of a shop and where I will be coming back to get gear for a good value. It's nice to have a local option that caters to the outdoor market besides REI.

Never have I seen such a disorganized display of merchandise-given I thought they remodeled. Shame on the management of this store. I would not recommend this store because the merchandise is unfolded and the presentation is awful. Too bad. Nice products but high price point. The store interior would get a failing mark from me.

I saw some cute Bondi 9's. I researched Hoka website and they are a neutral shoe, but will work for overpronation, which my friend says I have. They were comfortable walking in the shoe dept. I also needed a new cover for my thrift store Stanley. I did score 20% off. What bothers me is they say they have a military discount but supposedly this store doesn't do that. Scheels offers 5% off. I'm glad I had a 20% discount for these spendy $174 shoes. Hope they are comfortable for my new side fun job this summer. I will be walking a lot and enjoying concerts.

Brad in the golf area basically stepped on the top of the putter with his filthy shoes when he tried to Aline the new grip. There was another guy in the golf area I told him you could see the shoe prints on the top of the 2 ball putter. He tried to clean it off the best he could. There is still debris in the ball on the putter. I called to talk to the manager. Basically the employee lied and told the manager that he didn't step on the putter. The manager basically told me since I didn't buy the putter there they really couldn't do much! then said bye. I'll never go back!

Just looking at the storefront says "Fun!"…read moreInside you'll find camping gear, warm clothing, silly animal slippers for all sizes, survival guides (like rope tying and more), many fun plush critters, toys/gifts/games that encourage outdoor play, etc. Definitely cool to look around and browse; I didn't have much room left in my luggage to buy much more stuff, but I'm super glad a place like this exists. Kind of gave off the vibe of an REI for kiddos, haha. Way better to get kids into going outside to play than always staring at a screen. =)

I have practically lived in my pants since the pandemic and felt it was time for some new pairs. Even though somewhat frayed in the cuffs mine still have lots of life left. There is a large variety of styles which can be confusing (at least for me) so it is nice to have brick and mortar store to actually look at the products and try them on. This store is well stocked and the staff were helpful in pointing me in right direction to find what I was looking for. I ended up buying four pairs of pants. The store is located in a shopping center at the North West corner of the intersection of 494 and Lyndale Avenue South. Parking is abundant.

I came in for a running headlight. There were tons of options as headlights double for hiking, camping, etc. I was able to get a light and be on my way. However, it was a bit overwhelming with so much depth in every area, but "REI" depth - lots of base layers, rows of Gore-Tex jackets, etc. - not a lot of variety in brands and items - seemed a bit stale. I shop a lot at Scheels and Cabela's and they merchandise very well with lots of brands across different price points. It was also hard to find someone that worked there to help me even though the store was empty, but the checkout people were nice.

After a few months of use it started to come apart at one of non-stitched seams. Obviously a manufacturing defect. I took the backpack to the store but was told they only issue refunds or exchanges for 30 days. The salesperson agreed it was a defect but told me I would have to contact Fjallraven for a repair. Contacted the company and felt like they treated me as someone who was trying to rip them off. Sent a copy of the receipt and pictures on the defect. They finally agreed to repair it but I'd have to ship it to them and eat the $28 cost. Not what I'd call good customer service. I'll be sticking with REI which stands behind its products.
