Super friendly staff and plenty of parking. However the store is on the small side and did not have a wide selection.

The North Face gloves I just picked up.

I have always loved REI, and have been shopping here for many years. Although I hadn't been here in a couple years. I don't know why my husband and I hadn't been in for a while, but after this visit, we'll definitely make it a point to come in more often. My husband and I came in a couple days ago because we were in the area to pick up my mom's car from a body shop. Figured we were only a couple blocks away, let's go visit. So we did. We walked in and started wandering, not really sure what we wanted or needed. We had a couple employees greet us and ask if we needed anything as we wandered. We went upstairs to check out clothes. I was pleasantly surprised to find they've started carrying Lucy brand pants for women. It's a brand I've been in love with for many years. So to find it locally is pretty exciting. I've always driven to the Lucy store at Washington Square in Tigard. Upstairs we were greeted by an employee named Thomas. Let me tell you, this guy knows this store and then some! He's that perfect nerd you want when you have questions, and he's personable too. We chatted for a bit about the company, events they do, and several other things. I found a waterproof Columbia jacket in the women's section, but I wanted one for my husband. So we went looking. We've got a pair of matching Columbia jackets, so I was pretty sure they would be carrying the same one in men's. So I went to hunt down Thomas again. I told him I found a jacket in women's and wanted to know if they had it in men's. I take him over to it, ask him if it's more waterproof than the one I was wearing. He says it's totally waterproof, not just water resistant. He immediately knows where the men's jackets are just like what we had. We both figured a large would be the correct size, but I couldn't find one. Had my husband try on a medium just for shits and giggles. It fit! It looked amazing on him too. Even better. He recommended another brand in the same price range, but ascetically, it didn't look as good. Thomas then talked about how to care for a waterproof jacket. Some people say never wash them (gross, like seriously gross) but that's not the case. Washing it often is what keeps it working correctly. How often is often? My definition of often is weekly. Turns out that's more like constantly. Lol. He said start with monthly. He recommended a special soap, which we'll use on all of our jackets. I usually do one big load of them monthly, so that's perfect. This soap (I'll upload a pic) works for nasty stains, cat pee, and waterproof jackets, where standard soap can clog up the pours of a jacket like that. So anything that requires special attention, this soap is great for. After finding the jacket and learning far more than I ever knew I needed to know, we go down stairs to look again. They had a coupon special thing if you spend $100, you get a $20 gift card to use during a specific time frame. We were already spending $70 or so, so why not? Plus my husband was determined that I needed something in the store too. Not sure why, but who am I to stop him from buying me things? I found North Face gloves I fell in love with. My hands are small, so I've never really found a good, solid pair of gloves that fit my hands without being too big. I despised the ones that have the fingertip thing where you can use your phone with them on, because my fingers never reached that point inside the glove. These fit perfectly, and that won't be a problem ever again. Awesome. I actually was excited about these gloves. We then found the little tie things that attach to jacket zippers, for easy pulling. My mother broke one of hers on a Columbia jacket, and she shakes a lot. So this was actually important to her. I saw these and picked them up to replace hers so she could start wearing that one again. All in all, it was a great trip into the store. I love that they have a great selection of Columbia clothes. I've always been happy with that. But the customer service we got from Thomas was beyond impressive and helpful. My husband actually asked me why we hadn't been in to the store in so many years. So clearly he was impressed as well. I know when it's time to buy more Columbia or Lucy clothes, we'll be going here first. Review 15 of 2017.

Just love coming to this REI! The people that work here are some of the nicest bunch of friendly workers in all of REI land! They smile, they greet their customers, they offer helpful suggestions....I could go on and on! The store is clean and well organized. While their prices are a tad higher than a department store in the clothing dept, these are speciality items and not available just any place. And when they have clearances, hurry on in, you'll be glad you did.

2 floors at this REI location. Head upstairs to find ski equipment.

We were visiting Oregon and wanted to check out the college since my daughter was interested in…read moreseeing it, so we stopped by the Duck Store to pick up some merch. It was a little hard to find at first, but someone pointed us in the right direction. The store is a little tucked away near the Football field. The employees were very nice, and my kids found a couple of things they liked. One of the employees was even kind enough to show us the indoor field, which was really cool! We had a great experience and would definitely come back!

The U of O is pretty well-known for being a test bed for Swoosh wear and the Duck Store seems to…read morehave any & everything you could fancy. That doesn't mean that many items are wallet-friendly, but if you want to run with the big dogs, then you gotta get off the porch. The Ducks are known for green & UO Yellow (it's a thing; the color even has its own hex & Pantone codes), but that doesn't limit the Duck Store merch. Black, white, green(s), and more are splashed about the top two levels whether clothing, regalia, keepsakes, and lots, lots more. Weather gear (even a $500 'raincoat'), hoodies aplenty, hats, and athletic garb in sizes for men, women, & kiddies is seemingly everywhere. And it ain't just the big sports that are repped, no, you can support men's & women's athletics for any program at UO (shoutout women's lacrosse!). The top level is more specific for women's items, children's items, and the infrequent clearance items. The Duck Store can get cramped, so if you need to escape, upstairs is your play. The downstairs is for actual school supplies, artsy items, and more, reminding us that this IS an actual university and not just a power brand in sporting apparel. Prices are, well, pricey, because good merch costs good money. There are some non-branded items that are more budget-friendly, but the featured stuff has trademark mouths to feed, so pony up your hard-earned nickel. You are not likely to find a lot of help on the floor, or parking, but the stop is worth the time. So: wear green, be loud, and... SCO Ducks!

If you hadn't guessed it, the Duck Store is the University of Oregon bookstore. All kinds of fan…read moremerch is to be found here. The first floor is apparel and gifts, stuffed animals, that sort of thing. You'll find stuff for your game day experience down here, like your duck lips and stuff. The second floor is generally where the textbooks and school supplies are housed, so between terms it's pretty sparse up there. Kids stuff, clearance items, and women's apparel is upstairs as well. Parking is on the street only but it's really weird--I have never seen anything so strange for parking, I don't think. They've changed 13th here to diagonal parking, but it's diagonal that requires you to back into the spot. Why didn't they make them diagonal the other direction (or even better, straight spots so they could get another space or two)? It's paid parking so either download the app or look for the parking box.

I contacted the Duck store for warranty information in which the manufacturer had none. So through a serious of emails, Ryan and Alex were able to send me a new one. Unfortunately it arrived after the Ducks playoff Game, but I got it all the same. The product is iffy, but the customer serve was superb. I would shop at this place again and again when I visit every year.

I've had nothing but great experiences at Oregon Sports. They have an amazing selection of sweaters…read moreand shirts. The salesperson the last time I was there was such a sweetheart. I was scrambling around trying to find a last minute birthday gift for someone special and she took the time to ask what he liked and his hobbies to find a suitable present. She was a darling. I ended up figuring out the gift I wanted to get for him but unfortunately they didn't have the right size. It seems they run out of small sizes quickly. I prefer going to Oregon Sports vs the Duck Store in the mall because it's less crowded. I'll be back for more birthday gifts.

My husband and I stopped in here on a whim last night, not even sure if they were open, as there…read morewere no hours listen on the door. But we pulled on the door and they opened. We walk in, to be greeted by silence. Total and complete silence. I look over a rack in time to see this nerdy-looking douche staring in our direction from the cash register. We make eye contact, which is the perfect opening to greet us. Does he take it? Nope. Ok, well the Oregon Sports employees have never been famous for their customer service, no matter which location you visit. I'm in the middle of a discussion with my husband, and I hear his name yelled. Apparently he worked with our douche of an employee like a year ago. So, he's distracted. Which means I have plenty of time to wander and find things. Sadly, find things I did! We ended up spending almost $150. Apparently he was in a good mood last night and bought me everything I wanted. Lol. Failing that, he felt bad for making me go to that crappy bar I just finished reviewing. Either way I found some great Nike shirts and a hat. I'm picky about my Duck gear and wear exclusively Nike for that. I found a good selection and was impressed. Nathan found one shirt, I believe. Everything else was mine. There's a single mirror in the women's section, that's completely hidden/camouflaged, and I had to ask where it was. There's no fitting room. My only saving grace is I was wearing multiple shirts, so I can try stuff on over them if needed. I was not impressed by this though. So douche (I forget his name, as he's not important enough to remember) previously worked with my husband. There was some sort of personality conflict between him and the managers. Somehow after listening to him, I could see why. Customer service is huge in my husband's job. This guy fit in far better at Oregon Sports, where he wasn't required to have any customer service skills. I was impressed by the selection in this store, although small and cramped, it deserves 3-4 stars. The customer service is a 1 star shit show. So that's why it gets 2 stars. Will I return? Probably, but not in the near future. My husband already paid a small fortune for his whim. I doubt he'll be excited to let me in there loose again. Lol.

We actually came in twice one day to get a T-shirt for my son and the next day to get shoes for my daughter and both times he was very personable and attentive. The store was very organized. As far as price and value, maybe I wouldn't have given it five stars except my husband had a surprise birthday discount on his Nike account so we did get a discount on the shoes which was a nice surprise. The shoes she came in with were too small and we weren't going to keep them, and the salesman offered to recycle them which I thought was really cool as well.

I was a concierge at a nearby hotel and I would hear from our guests daily about how they were treated poorly. Now they have a new policy that they don't return shoes after 6 months. But on the Nike app it shows all purchases from years back. Why have the app that shows you purchases if the store won't take back brand new items. No where does it say this in stores or online. I have hundreds of pairs of new shoes that they refuse to trade in for new releases. I am done with Nike. Their clothes have lost all quality, and they are selling cheaply made designs on the showroom floor. I suggest going with an American alternative

I come in here a lot. On days when I need escape from work life, I like to come in to Nordstrom…read moreRack and look around. If you come here frequently, that's how you can get the best deals, because you never know what new product they will be getting in! Nordstrom Rack has pretty much everything clothing and accessory-wise that you could need: pajamas, exercise apparel, outerwear, jewelry, bags, shoes, and more. And oh, the shoes. I've gotten Tory Burch, Jack Rogers, and Marc Jacobs shoes here before. If there's something I've bought here more than anywhere else, it would be shoes. They have a good selection, and if you don't see what you like at this particular location, you can always order something on Nordstromrack.com, which has a wider selection. Say that pair of shoes you ordered from the website doesn't fit? No big deal; you can bring them here to return, and there's a 90 day return policy. My latest trip here was unplanned. I was out doing errands and grocery shopping, and my umbrella broke. And of course since it's Eugene, a torrential downpour started. Rather than risk the chance of my purse getting ruined from the rain, I stopped in here before I headed over to Trader Joe's to look for an umbrella. And sure enough, they had a variety of umbrellas to choose from! I ended up getting a good quality umbrella here for $12.99, whereas the cheapest umbrellas across the way at Bed, Bath and Beyond were $18.99. Not to mention, my new green chevron print umbrella is far cuter than the plain black ones at BBB. In a city with a sad excuse for a mall (the Valley River Center, that is), this is one of the few places where you can get good quality clothes, shoes, accessories, and more.

But the shoe selection was outstanding as was the purse selection for unique and reasonably priced. Kierstyn was helpful with item that was missing a tag. Looking forward to returning.
