Although it's on the smaller side for an REI, it is bigger than it seems. They have decent selection of gear and brands - definitely all the essentials. You can order online as well to pick up at or ship to the store if a specific item is not available. I tend to utilize this if there is something specific (brand/color, etc) that I know I want and then it's super efficient to pick up. The staff is super nice and always happy to guide to the section you are looking for. They are also helpful if you are returning an item or exchanging and I love their commitment to sustainability in the community as well. I always see people down in the bike/repair area so that seems to be a super convenient option to have for a the cyclists in Boston. If you have an active lifestyle, this is the place for you to come on this side of the Charles River.

The folks who work here are so, so nice and helpful. Whether you're a seasoned pro looking for a second opinion or a newbie intimidated to ask the wrong question, ask away and they'll run through their encyclopedic list of knowledge with you. As you can guess from the name, they carry a million camp and hiking supplies, but even as a non-outdoorsy person, it's fun to browse. (My favorite purchase ended up being an ultra light dry bag backpack that came in handy on a trip to Bali in the rainy season.) They've got a wide selection of clothes that you'd wear everyday from Filson to Patagonia and Arcteryx. They've also got you covered for the wild outdoors of Back Bay with a great selection of raincoats and winter gear from brands like Marmot and Canada Goose. When possible, I'm really trying to shop here and support a local store instead of ordering everything from Amazon. For a small shop, they run some great sales, like 20% off all boots or 15% off all Canada Goose. It's impossible to believe HTC has only been here for a year or so -- it feels like it's been part of Central Square forever.

They aren't pushy and won't try to talk you into buying gear you don't need, but they aren't the cheapest. You pay a bit extra here for service and expertise, but it can be with it unless you know exactly what you want. One thing that I found was nice was when I finally decided on the skis I wanted, they helped me get them set up with bindings and got me out the door in 15 minutes. I had called a few other shops out in the suburbs that said their turnaround time was a week to install bindings on new skis and they were farther away too. You can't beat these guys for convenience, expertise, and speed and a generally great shopping experience. On the downside, you need to book an appointment in advance. You can't just walk in. Somebody told me they plan to stay appointment only, even after COVID.

I went to the store this morning to exchange a bag my boyfriend had gotten for me yesterday. I had carried the bag over the store to get a different color and that was the extent to which I had "used" the bag (for a 15 min. walk I was carrying the bag in my hand). I got to the store and a young lady who claimed she is the store manager looked at the bag, asked when I had gotten the bag, and after I told her I got it as a gift the night before, she blatantly went ahead and said, "no, this bag has marks on it and looks like it's been used", implying that I was lying to her and interestingly, also implying that the store sells bags that to the store manager look used (since I had not used the bag). I explained to her a few times that I had gotten it the night before and she kept refusing to accept my word. I had all the tags, but not the receipt and she even went as far as saying to me, "you haven't paid for this bag"! just because I didn't have the receipt on me and was just asking to get a different color. I think when you are paying $150 for a bag, you should at least be allowed to just exchange it for a different color the next day and not being accused of not having paid for the bag if you don't have a receipt. She refused to look it up in the system with the credit card which was used to purchased the bag and when I went over to take a look at the other colors, she went ahead and simply assumed that I will take a bag and leave the store. She came up to me aggressively and said, "I swear if you take a bag and leave the store, I'll call the cops on you". I said I won't leave the store until she addresses the problem and she said she will call the cops and pretended to have done so (although I don't think she did since I called 911 myself and filed a complaint against her accusations). She was also very inconsistent in her explanations about why she wouldn't let me have a different color. First, she said the bag has marks, then she said it's store policy that won't take returns without a receipt (although I had asked for an exchange and not a return). She then stopped talking to me and wouldn't answer any of my questions about the product, its price, or whether or not she had actually called the cops. I am very sorry that both I and she had to go through all of this just because I was taking a bag that I had gotten the night before and asking for a different color! I would not recommend this specific store to anyone, given the horrible service. Update: After a few calls and emails to their customer service department, the corporate office (the sales and retail manager for the U.S.) as well as the store manager (note that the lady I described in my previous review was the assistant manager, and not the manager, although she had identified as the manager) contacted me and tried to resolve the issue. They have offered to issue a full refund and address the problem with the assistant manager directly. The sales and retail manager was a very understanding and nice lady and listened to everything I had to say about what happened. She was very understanding and sympathetic. read more

I first drove two hours from Norwich, Ct. to come to the store and actually touch and feel the products. Yes.., some of the pricing is in the range where I would feel better to see it in person and not just purchase online. Acquiring top of the line hiking / outdoor equipment and clothing is an investment and the money spent there will be justified once you realize the product is designed to last close to a lifetime. All employees were very kind and there was no pressure in the sales aspect. One hour later I walked away with the Stubben Backpack. This pack will outlast me and will also take a beating due to its heavy duty G-1000 material. After waxing the product my hike in the rain proved how water just beads up and rolls off the product!!! My next visit.., yes.., another two hour drive, was just as pleasant. The store manager on that day ( 02/19/2018) knows and understand exceptional customer service. Left with a wool shirt with G-1000 elbow and shoulder re-enforcements as well as a pair of the Keb Pants. OOOOH.., CRAVIN THE FJALLRAVEN!!!! My Australian Cattle dog was graciously invited into the store and received love from all!!! Happy Trails to the crew at Fjall Raven, Boston.

I'm not sure what your business model is...but without more focus on service you are not going to win my loyalty. You can have pretty windows and a nice logo, but I can't imagine that pushing me over to city sports can be very good for your bottom line. I like to run and I like to do business in my neighborhood. Even though I love the idea of this business I can not give over two stars until they mature a little in their 'retail senses'.
