Given the popularity of hunting, fishing, camping, backpacking, and other outdoor activities is…read moreMichigan, you'd think there'd be more stores catering to these activities in South Oakland county, but the number has shrunk over the years. There's a Cabelas over by Selfridge, and a Bass Pro Sports up in Auburn Hills, but this is the only big outdoors store within 30miles of me. (I don't count Dunhams, which caters mainly to team sport activities.) Sportsman's Warehouse is the only big box store in the area that caters to traditional outdoor activities, and while it's no Cabelas, it's not bad. The archery selection is fair if you're a fan of compound bows or crossbows, but the last time I looked that had on,y two recurves or longbows. There's a lot of fishing gear for fans of spinning and bait casting, but not a lot of quality fly fishing gear. Selection in most departments is a lot narrower than you'll find at Cabelas, and not all sizes are in stock. Several times I've gone there looking for shoes and boots but couldn't find any 12s in what I was looking for. I went looking for a range bag a while ago and found just a handful of bags. The firearms selection is decent if you're looking for a 9mm auto or an AR clone, but you won't see a wide range of .22 rifles or pistols. The reloading equipment section is very thin, with only a handful of powders, cases, and bullets. Ammunition selection is wide in areas like 9mm and .223, but thinner in other areas. The .22RF selection is a seemingly random selection that changes, probably depending on what available. Still, I do visit regularly, and sometimes find good deals. I picked up a Frog Togs rain jacket that was on sale not long ago, and sometimes you'll see something interesting in the used firearms section. If you don't have a regular sporting goods store nearby, and you do t want to make a long trek to Cabelas, it's a hand place for many supplies.

I needed a new bike and thought we'd see what they had. As we were browsing the selection, Corey…read morehollered over to us asking if we needed help and I hollered back, "what's the price on this one?" He came over, gave us the price, we talked about its features and had a good conversation. He put it on hold for us since this was our first stop. We came back the following day to purchase it. He wasn't there but a nice, younger guy took care of us, ran the bike through their inspection and away we went. The cashier was very friendly during the purchase and the bike fit in the back of our SUV perfectly. When we got home, the seat hadn't been tightened so I slipped a bit as I got on the bike. We also had to adjust the handlebars and raise them up a bit. I thought Corey said they'd check those when we came to pick the bike up, but that's okay. We're pretty knowledgeable with bikes and took care of those ourselves. All in all it was a good experience and the bike was even on sale. To end this review... a comfortable bike was what I was looking for, the price was decent, so we ended up finding one that fits my needs.

There were many areas that I was not able to get to. The socks, which is what I came for, are on a wall at the back of the clearance area. The floor was so covered in merchandise and the displays were so close together, that I could not get near them. The clothing aisles were all diagonal and impossible to navigate. Lastly, and most upsetting to me, my daughter and I were checking out at the same time and her cashier was really pleasant, greeted her warmly and kept up a stream of converation, but the one that waited on me was rude and barely spoke. I can't say for sure that this was due to my disability, but what else am I to think? Evidently Rei doesn't care for disabled people. Or maybe they think that people with disabilities do not need active merchandise, so they don't have to cater to them. Either way it was sad to be treated negatively just because I have to use a scooter to get around.

They took the time to help me get set up with everything I needed for fishing on Lake St. Clair, answered all of my questions, and made sure I left with the right gear for the lake. What really impressed me happened after I left. I had mentioned we were heading across the street for lunch, and after we left I realized an expensive spool of fishing line that I'd already paid for had been left behind. Instead of waiting for me to figure it out, they called the restaurants across the street until they found us so I could come back and pick it up. That level of customer service is incredibly rare.

Why? Because my kids are growing fast, so they don't wear these things out, they just use them for a short period of time. We trade stuff in too. They give us money for stuff we would have just thrown out or put in a yard sale. It is convenient to bring in last year's skis and boots and get this year's skis and boots, much better than a ski swap, because you can go there whenever you want. My son gets top quality equipment, all set up and adjusted for about $150 per year. I read the other reviews and they complain about a woman that work(ed?) here, but I have never met this person and I've been to the store half a dozen times in the past year. It is always men there. They are always friendly. Oh yeah, football mouthguards are half the price of anyplace else here, so when you are picking up cleats, grab a couple.
