    I love just browsing through this store. It is full of great outdoors items, and puts you in the mood for biking, camping, hiking, water sports - you name it. The best part of this store is the staff. They are helpful, friendly, and willing to find your answers if they don't have them. I was looking for a contraption to hold my phone on my bike. I was trying to figure out how one worked, when a great employee came up and asked me if she could make a recommendation. - But of course! She said although the one I had in my hand would work, she, and several other bikers she knew, preferred another they had. She then proceeded to go get it, and attach it to a bike to show me how it worked and the options of placement. That is customer service at its finest! I love that many of their items, including clothing, are made from recyclable products. I try to do my best to honor our earth, and this makes you feel good about your purchases.

    There's a first time for everything and today was my first time going into a Rei store! I guess I haven't had a reason, but today I did because they have what I can't seem to find at many stores. What you may ask? Cold weather gear!!! Forget the fact that we live in Florida, I thought all stores that regularly carry cold weather gear this time of year, still carried cold weather gear during certain times of the year no matter where the store is located...wrong! But you can count on the folks at Rei to have what you need that is for sure. Plus, the employees helped us out with trying to find the perfect snow pants and socks...and sock liners for the extreme climate we are traveling to soon. We appreciated the help! We left having to order some things online, but we still made a few purchases and are quite happy. Not to mention I had to check out the entire store! I was starting to get a little concerned about not being able to find the proper attire. Whew! So, if you're wondering where you can get cold weather gear...it's here! Other than our needs for cold weather gear, there is a plethora of different sports gear and other outdoor gear here. If you need it, I'm sure they have it or can get it! Everything seems to be of great quality too. The only downside is it's a little pricey. This Rei store is located in St Johns Town Center, so there is plenty of parking; however, there are also plenty of other stores around. Therefore, you may have to walk a little if the parking lots in front or to the sides are full. Moreover, it's not a very friendly driving area. In any case, there are public restrooms inside, just in case you spend way too much time in the store.

    We love REI and can't get enough of the good values they offer for their free membership. Don't forget to sign up! For instance, we got two $20 off $50 coupons this month alone. I was finally able to get the Offos I had been looking for, and trying them on in the store for the first time was a game changer. They are so comfortable! I also have purchased quite a few hats, clothing, and other shoes there, which have all been high quality. They sell good camping and hiking gear too. The employees always seem cheery when we visit. And if you can't find something in your size, they can order it for you or help you with an online selection. The St Johns Town Center helps with a centralized spot for convenience, and it is on the end with enough self parking to accommodate visitors. Make sure you stop by soon!

    They has Cannondales!

    I came here after a bad experience with Bike Direct down the road, and I'm sure glad I did! I usually come here for like camping things, coolers, and Yeti ramblers and have no issue. But this time I wanted to inquire on a bike repair on a new bike purchased outside of REI. They took care of me! Give my man, Blake, a raise! Not only did he fixed the flat. He also did some cable management that the original stores messed up. He fixed the breaks. He also explained the issue I had with the gears and fixed as best he could! (Which he took the time to put it on the rack and physically showed me). He also fixed what the original store did wrong during the building of the bike. The fork and brakes were installed backwards. Smh. But he fixed that too! Now my relative is ecstatic with her bike! After he fixed the bike, I stuck around and talked bikes with him, as I expressed that I have a relative trying to get me on cycling/riding. And that my relative just bough a Cannondale (which REI sells!) and that I'm somewhat on the market for one or a Trek. He gave me so much info, and educated me, on the differences between both, what to look for if I buy a used/new bike. You can tell he was was very passionate! He talked about the different components of the bike (rim breaks and disc brakes, along with other components like different gear mechanisms) and what to look for if it's a solid or faulty bike. Ultimately his knowledge and his overall kindness led me to buy a new 'toy'. I might come back to him to get the wife one if she decides Cannondale. Thanks again for everything Blake!

    This is not my first visit to a REI but this was my first to this location. I drove from Orlando to this location to attend a map and compass class that I've been wanting to take. My local REI already had the class but I unfortunately missed it. So I thought I'd make a day trip north for it and I'm so glad I did! First off the store is laid our very well. Any outdoorsy person like myself would think it was just so darn beautiful. Mens and womens wear to the left, backpacks to the right, cycles straight ahead. Boots, shoes, cold weather gear, summer gear, camping, hiking, just about anything you'd need for adventure. This place has quality gear and knowledgeable staff ready to help. I was a bit early for my class so of course I took advantage of browsing and checking out all the sale items. A few times a year REI will send out 20% off coupons to their REI members. If you're not a member and you shop for this kinda of stuff, you really should join. It's cheap and you earn your money back in dividends from your full priced purchases in a year. You also have 365 days to return anything that you absolutely do not love. I walked into class a few minutes early, signed in and was excited to see and meet the handful of other people just as excited to take the class. The instructors explained how to use your compass and read the topo parts of the maps. I won't go in depth here but they sure did. It really was a fun class with a great wealth of information. The class and interaction with other like-minded people in class made the drive worth it. I'd definitely make the drive and make the day of it again.

    Cool displays

    Quality gear and knowledgeable staff- this is my best friends favorite store! We are both avid campers, hikers and she backpacks much more than me! When she introduced me to REI a couple years ago- I was hooked! This one is so close to my house and I have a wish list and arms length long! Every time my friend visits- we must pop in! This time, I dragged my daughter in~ my family were all avid scouters and my daughter did a backpacking trek of 103 miles at a high adventure camp called Philmont and guess where we bought her backpack? Yup- REI! And boots, and a bunch of lightweight gear! I don't visit often, because I already have a ton of gear! But Every few months I buy something off my list! Love love love this store here at town center!

    Love this blanket!

    Every time we come here we get the best service you could ask for in retail. They offer suggestions regarding any questions you may have about products. The co-op membership is awesome, I absolutely love having a full year to return something I purchase. This place is great, the selection and quality of products available is top notch

    Great views on the trail

I've been wearing clothing from both over the last 4-5 years in shirts and trousers and just find them to be the best for my daily casual wear. 5.11 Tactical offers great looking clothing that fits the needs of law enforcement, first responders, and perhaps in some cases, military personnel. I find their pants and shirts comfortable, with stretch material that gives breathing room as you wear them. I especially like the various types of trousers they offer as they have multiple pocket sets (in some cases even pockets within pockets) because it gives me the space to put some small camera gear when I'm out on YouTube video shoots or doing photography for myself or my channel. Now, you won't find suits for church here but I will say their pants and shirts are certainly good enough to wear when you attend church! It's my type of wear weekly. As for value, note that 5.11 is a specialty store, which means you will pay oftentimes above what you may expect. This shop does not offer military discounts, BUT I will say that you can find great deals when they have clearance sales. I left with a bundle during my visit. Also, if you are military, you can get 5.11 Tactical apparel at the Navy Exchanges at 20 percent off or on special occasions at 40 percent off. That is to say, there are still good ways to get deals on 5.11 clothing - it's how I purchase all of mine. In addition to shirts, trousers, and shorts, you can find excellent boots and reinforced shoes designed for law enforcement and first responders here. I'd like to get a pair for trail walking - I may do that soon! The service from the employees here on this day was excellent! They took time to answer all my questions and really believe in the product they sell. So stop by 5.11 Tactical and see what you think! Hard to believe if you can't find something you like here! Recommend: VERY HIGH (even though a little pricey, but still very much worth it!)
