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

First, I went in the store yesterday and Dena helped me find some really cool golf pants and wool…read moresocks. She was absolutely amazing! Today I went in for a return and figured it would be a quick in-and-out, but Maddy turned it into such a great experience. The store didn't have the wool socks I needed in the right size, and instead of just sending me on my way, she took the time to help me order it online right there in the store. She made sure I got the size I needed and walked me through everything. What really stood out was how genuinely kind and upbeat she was the whole time. You can tell she and Dena really care about helping people, and that's rare these days. It's easy to leave reviews when something goes wrong, but great service deserves to be recognized too. Thank you, Maddy and Dena for going above and beyond -- you made my day!

You can return or exchange items for up to a year if you're a co-op member (or up to 90 days if you're not), even if the items have been used. I absolutely love my hiking shoes from here (Lowa brand-pricey but worth it), and they carry so many high-quality brands like Vuori and Patagonia. Every time I shop here, the service has been friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. Highly recommend for anyone who loves the outdoors or needs reliable gear.

Save yourself some hassle and go to the San Diego REI for ski service…read more I dropped off my skis for a hot wax because 50% off for members. Wanted to add a safety check for skis and boots going into new season. Filled out all paperwork, passed inspection and paid for both upfront. When I came to pickup nearly a week later, and past the date I was told they would be complete, there was an issue that the heel plate was worn down just over the allowable threshold. REI will not make adjustments or anything to skis/bindings. I was told I got a voicemail, but I never received a call. Pulled up my cell phone record on the spot. Worst of it all, they did not even do the wax. So my skis just sat at this location for a week, with my money, and then I picked them up and got my money back and nothing but wasted time.

Men's, women's and kid's clothing, shoes and accessories are available at this Columbia Employee…read morestore, which is also available to the public WITH A PASS. We get the pass through my employer or at the Prana Carlsbad Outlet store. (Just ask when you make a purchase). If you're a senior you can go on Tuesdays or the military has access year round with proof of affiliation. Brands that are on offer are: Columbia, Mountain Hardwear, prAna, and SOREL. Items offered are anything from women's workout wear to fleece jackets, puffer jackets, jeans, hiking/travel pants, shirts, vests, T-shirts, beanie hats, socks, blankets, yoga mats and more. The store is located in a business park setting with free parking. They're open 10am-7pm every day of the week. You first check-in with the front desk where they will check your pass and then you're free to wander the store which is a large warehouse type setting. Fitting rooms are available to try things on. Restrooms are located at the front near check-in. We've typically been going a few times a year over the last 5 years or so. It's hit and miss -- sometimes we spend a few hundred and other times walk out with nothing. Size selections vary. Stock does change, but I also see the same staples there all the time. The merchandise is discounted, but is still pricey due to the fact the brands on offer are pricey brands to begin with. (i.e. these are not TJMaxx kind of prices!) If you're into the outdoors, camping, hiking, traveling, working out and you can get your hands on a pass (or go Senior Tuesdays or are in the military) check this store out! Note: The store is always freezing cold, so go prepared! Helpful?

The mechanics? Let's just say... clearly know their stuff on tires and cycling they bring some serious swagger to the shop Bikes coming out of there look dialed. They can wax my chain anytime! Only knock--and honestly more funny than anything--was the owner (Jerry?) trying to sell me on an Orbea like his life depended on it Respect the hustle, but I wasn't quite ready to commit!

This was months ago. I decided to try again, with a different bike and tire so I looked up hours and saw open at 9am, I was at the parking lot at 9:15 am on a Monday, and it was closed. I waited about 20mins or so and nope- no one came to open the store. I took my money down to the new e-bike store where the Jacked Up Brewery once was- but across the lot. They were quick and OPEN at the time the hours posted said. I tried to support local businesses in town but can't when they don't open for services. Boo

I've been coming here since this location opened years & years ago and this past year or so... service has changed. The staff isn't as friendly, they seem annoyed when you ask for help and when you do need assistance, *most* of them are no where to be seen. The selection also has gone downhill since they're always out of stock in certain sizes and I wait a couple weeks and still, no new inventory. The value is quite pricey for most things. I don't but certain brands from here since I know I can get the same thing at the outlets. I use to shop here more often but not as much now... it's just so different. Plenty of parking in the lot though so no issues there.

I call him prior to leaving the city and asked him if he's sure we don't need to do the alterations on the 2nd tan suit that was ordered. He assured me all is well and completed. Im busy running errands so I took him on his word and didn't check the garment bags (black bags, not translucent so i could've seen it at a glance). Ziad then calls me and asks whats the name on my 2nd suit. Red flag; the suit was for another customer and my suit is still at the store. After failed negotiations for some cheap trinkets, I tell them just refund me so we can all move on. After many attempts to speak with the elusive and disrespectful con artist "Mike" (employee Ziad claimed to not know his managers last name), spoke over me disrespectfully, disregarding the level of unprofessionalism and incompetence Ziad performed, flipping the narrative saying I threatened the employees. So now I am escalating this situation and taking it to their corporate office and the mall headquarters. Do not to business with companies that do not refund their customers, EVEN WHEN THE EMPLOYEES MAKE ENORMOUS MISTAKES IN VOLUME. TERRIBLE BUSINESS WITH SHADY PEOPLE. I hope no one else falls victim. I will now be taking legal action against the company. These pictures support my evidence.

When I came inside I was not greeted and the male employee or owner working here wasn't super welcoming, but I got what I needed so it didn't matter too much to me. I had gone to Men's Warehouse before this and they didn't have my size shirt (smaller) and they told me to come here. I needed a grey button up dress shirt and I got the perfect one in my size! The shirt cost around 30 dollars, maybe 35, I can't remember, but it was a good price for a dress shirt. They also have belts, shoes, ties, bow ties, coats, hats, all that jazz. I will definitely be back!
