    Didn't even try to clean it

    I don't ever leave reviews but felt the need after my poor experience.... I took my mountain bike in after a pretty gnarly crash. As a woman I'm used to being talked down to by guys in the shop, which is what happened here and the guy taking my bike in even tried to tell me that the damage I assessed was "wrong" when it was very clear the my brake/gear shift piece was broken off. Very very rude and made me feel like it was my fault for crashing. I paid $160 for new parts and service and they didn't even clean my bike. I used to work at a ski/bike shop and we would ALWAYS clean the bike, even just spray it off with a hose. The new part they put on was loose, luckily I have the very specific star key needed to tighten it... Just an overall janky job and super rude. The guy even told me to "try not to crash again" ???? Would recommend taking your bike elsewhere, especially if you're a woman and don't want to be talked down to.

    Not too many of these types of stores seem to be left in Boise...unless I'm missing something here? Also, you'd think, Boise....a major outdoor city...would have tons and tons of outdoor stores. That's why McU is a great place! Not the only reason, but I'm happy they are here. Located downtown....which I love! I hate when amazing businesses bounce outta downtown and go to.....The Village...uggggggh. Don't get me wrong, I love the Village, but having businesses downtown is like....super important and stuff lol. Especially with all the new apartments, homes, etc popping up down there. Also, McU needs to stay because of it's close proximity to the north end....where I assume 80% of those people hike, bike etc all over the trails, lol. Ok so the store is 2 floors. Lower level is all brand new gear, clothes, everything an outdoors person needs. Be prepared to spend some of that $crilla tho because this place....is pricey. Is that a good thing? Hell no! Who likes to spend tons and tons of money? Well, I do, but I also love a great deal. You will find some amazing deals here despite their somewhat higher prices. Upstairs they have tons and tons of stuff marked down...so u know a bitch was up there for a hot minute looking through everything, hahaha! I always find something there...whether upstairs or down. The store is amazing. Privately owned business WHICH.....I LOVE! It's great to support all local businesses...especially with things like Amazon around. One thing I will say that....really grinds my gears (lol)....was, I went in for new hiking boots. There was a store here few years back, they had an amazing selection of hiking boots/gear. I love hiking. So boots don't last that long lol. That place closed. I mentioned to McU that I wish they had more mens hiking boots. Their selection was...abysmal. ok, really not that bad, I just wanted to use that word hahahaha! Their selection of mens boots tho was indeed...slim. I told they needed more and she said she would "let him know" I'm assuming the owner lol. I'd rather buy my new boots from them rather than REI (which is an ok place, buuuut...no! Story about them but not enough space here lol) or Amazon. So hopefully they get more. Either way, I will always go there as long as we have this fantastic outdoors store! Yall will love the staff and if u love the outdoors/working out like I do, you'll love this special place. You're guaranteed to find some great stuff in there! And you'll love their friendly staff. All of them so happy! It's so refreshing :) Thanks, Yelpers! Go outside!! Cheers!

    We rented our bikes while visiting Boise. They had a variety of rentals and the guys that work there were super helpful . The prices were very reasonable. We enjoyed riding on the Greenbelt .

    Dicks (autocorrected to "sucks" lol...) is the type of store everyone loves...why? Because it's a…read morebig box (sporting) store and carries pretty much everything someone who is active needs. In the past couple years, I hate how Dicks added their political views to everything. I just wish businesses and whatnot would stfu about their political views. I don't shop at a place because they're super conservative or if they ...super liberal. I go to businesses if they have what I want. So when places add their two cents, specifically on anything political...it ruins them for me. I know I'm not alone in this. Seriously, shut up. We wanna buy sneakers or a water bottle, we dgaf what side of the aisle you stand on. Ok that's my rant on that lol. I rarely go here. This was my 2nd time in this store since it opened. They opened 6 years ago, maybe? I went in right after and then this time. I was at Petco next door and needed to check out their weightlifting belts. Reasonable prices on that but everything else....priiiiicey! If you shop at Dicks, you know this tho. Checked out some of their sale items and if you can get something on sale (depending on what it is) their prices can be pretty good. Big 5 is next door...right next door. The huge corporate stores love to do that to the smaller stores like Big 5. Big 5 is a better store, but of course they don't carry as much. Their prices are certainly better and makes happy this location hasn't been forced out because of the giant Dicks (lol) right next to it. There's a Big 5 minutes from my house too, so I go there more. Dicks is across from the mall so if I am In that area I may think of going in, but like I said, this was the 2nd time in 6 years that I've been in that store. I just don't care to go in that much lol. Staff was friendly tho and super helpful. So they have that going for them. Aside from that, I know this review won't help anyone lol. You either love this place or just don't care about it. Everyone knows it exists so yeah, you either go or don't. So many just order online which when it comes to places like Dicks, it's fine otherwise I love supporting small mom and pop/local shops. Ok I'm done writing about this place lol. If you've read this far, thanks! If not, I understand lol. Thanks, Yelpederers! Cheers!

    Columbia has some good deals and I like some of their stuff…read more Disclosure - I'm not a super outdoor person but so I like functional lightweight clothing for traveling. I usually pop in regularly to check the sales and deals. On a visit last year I found this collapsible duffel bag. It's a monster. It folds into itself and has been a regular addition to my must have travel items. Their line of national parks t shirts are great gift ideas for family that lives outside of the Us as well as those who don't have a national park near them. I also like their hats and windbreakers. The staff is super friendly and what I like the most is that they are knowledgeable about their products. They really want you to have what works best for you not necessarily the most expensive thing in the store. Pro Tip. Sign up for rewards. It takes about two months to get your reward money buts it's worth it. Columbia is a great addition to the Village and I can't wait to see what the deals are next week

    I do love this store. I've been a fan of Columbia clothing for some time now, and I loved visiting…read moretheir big store in Seattle in the past. Now, with a much shorter drive, I can browse and try on a very large selection of Columbia clothing. The service here is great, and I have found the quality of their clothing to be top notch. Columbia stuff is much cheaper here than most other outdoor brands sold at my other favorite three-letter-outdoor-store. I'll be back, as I can never have too many sweaters, sweatshirts, outdoor pants, rain jackets, snow jackets, or other assorted shirts and such.
