Most recently, they had a lot of deals extended past Black Friday, but unfortunately most retail coveted items like Kahtoola microspikes were not on sale and still full price at $69.95. The store is multiple levels and the employees have always been friendly at directing me on where to find things. I do wish they carried Darn Tough Socks from Vermont, but they have a different fake-wool sort of sock brand which I don't like as much. I've had to venture to stores like The Mountaineer to find DTS. I've also looked at climbing equipment and harnesses here, but mostly found the pricing not competitive as the climbing gym, so passed on some of the selections. Despite that, I've purchased snacks and always enjoyed browsing from here. I do think EMS products are pretty high quality in general and last a while, so whether you're looking for gear, snowshoe rental, base layers or whatever you may want for some outdoor adventure, definitely check out this spot!

You know you'll be getting your value out of everything you buy here, because it Is all high quality products from shelf to shelf.

I have gotten a few patches from here, water proof hiking clothes, bear canister, rain covers & winter hiking pants. It can be a difficult task to leave without spending a few hundred dollars but well worth it!

The day before a 15 mile hike in negative temperatures, we stopped here to rent snow shoes and pick…read moreup a little bit of gear. The employees were very helpful. Snow shoe rental was $15/day and if you drop it off the following day with store open, they only charged us for one day which was great. I also picked up some socks and gloves here. The sock selection is great for winter-y sports sort of stuff and I got some liners as well as hefty mountaineering socks. The mountaineering socks were priced at a premium for $29 for one pair, but they have a lifetime guarantee and I haven't regretted buying them. I've used them outside the hike numerous times during the blustery Buffalo weather where I'm from. I also bought a pair of mittens and man the mittens here were very expensive! The cheapest pair I could find was $89, but they are indeed very warm and hopefully will last me for a very long time with many outdoor winter adventures to be had in said mittens. All in all, the staff at the store was great and honest and didn't try to upsell us on anything we may not need. I'd definitely recommend stopping into the Mountaineer -- some knowledgable staff and great equipment! They also rent hiking boots and crampons!

We worked with two gentlemen during our time at REI, both were fantastic. I wanted to share a specific shout-out to Nieve. Nieve spent substantial time with us to ensure that Paul was in the perfect boot, binding and the right ski for his level. Paul is an exceptional skier, who now lives in the Midwest with me, his average skier wife, after growing up in the ADK's and skiing every winter day of his life, when weather permitted, for 20 years. Nieve also fitted me for boats, bindings and skis too, for good measure, so I can ski with my husband and not be bothered with rentals. Nieve, thank you - you were a joy to work with and my mountain husband, who begrudgingly lives 9-months per year in the Midwest, is now a happy camper again. The Scaps.

The staff collectively assaulted and harassed me verbally for being a service dog user, and for criticizing the decline of REI. It's a leftwing business, which means that the "feelings" of the employees outweigh any and every other consideration. In fact, I asked for contact info to make a complaint, and while one employee was writing it down, another employee came along and tore up the paper! I left the store but had to go back in for something, and 8 store employees were viciously gossiping about me at the checkout area. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE FROM REI EVER AGAIN!
