I came into this place twice with my wife to look at binoculars and we were greeted by the nicest…read moremen inside! Sometimes it's intimidating, as a female, to go into serious sporting/outdoors stores because people are often judgey, but this place was SO welcoming and had the best vibes because of these men! 100% this will be my go-to outdoorsy store because of the great customer service! We looked at their binoculars called "nocs," and they were REALLY good quality, and pretty! They came in different color options! I ended up buying 2 pairs, a green and a blue, and I am in love!! I'm going to use them for bird watching. They also sell everything you can imagine for rock climbing, camping, outdoors cooking, maps, and more. Definitely coming back!

Nomad always has what I need for climbing. Great gear selection, friendly staff, and just good vibe.read more

A great range of work jeans, shirts, shackets, jackets, coats, bags belts and hats. Could've spent a fortune, well, we did, but could've spent even more !! PJ provided excellent service and was very friendly and knowledgable. It's a good job we don't live in La Mesa - I'd be bankrupt.

I have called on multiple occasions to speak to the finance manager and was told she was in a meeting and to leave a voicemail, I left her 2 voicemails and NEVER received a phone call back. I even messaged either Ian or Austin and never got a response back from them after they told me I was approved! BEWARE they sent my credit to 9!!! different bank WITHOUT my approval or knowledge and when I confronted them about it they didn't even seem to care!

Came in ready to buy an echelon and some ammo. It's my go to place, remember? They always have good…read moredeals for ammo. Naturally, the guys at the counter were busy so I looked through the glass display to see if they have the echelon in stock. Sure enough, they have it. I then check their ammo selection so I can tell him exactly what I want. So I pull a number then hop in the ammo line. Shortly after, a lady comes up to the counter and waited a couple minutes. When she realized she needed to be in another line for ammo, she then goes behind me in line. Then when the clerk was ready to take the next person, he just assumes that the lady that was behind me was next or waited the longest. He says to her "you're next, I can help you". So I walked out. I'm not in the mood to try to advocate myself when I'm visibly next in line, and actively watched the lady walk up to the counter. There's other places such as Turner's and Ammo Bros wouldn't just assume and ignore someone standing in front of them. I understand the process itself takes a little bit of time, but skipping a person that's next in line is not what I'm willing to wait for, let alone be ignored. I'd rather go out of my way (Turners and Ammo Bros) if it means I at least get acknowledged that I'm there. Not coming back anytime soon.
