Patagonia is an incredible brand that never disappoints. I own many Patagonia items and I am always…read moreamazed by the quality. I recently went into the Toronto store as my down jacket had a tear in the zipper. The team at the reception desk immediately went into problem solve mode and offered a solution. They shipped the jacket off to their warehouse and I asked them to ship it to me when fixed. A few weeks after this happened I received a call from Julie at the store who confirmed the coat was fixed and she offered to drop it off at my home (instead of mailing which would take longer). I was amazed by this level of service and I have been telling everyone I know about this experience. Keep doing what your doing Patagonia and big thanks to Julie for going above and beyond!!

Oh my! This store may be small but I could spend hours in it…read more I love the quality of Arc'teryx products and I'm finding that more and more of my hiking gear is coming from this company. I came here today specifically to get new hiking pants. The service was fantastic and everyone in the store pitched in, offering their opinions and just generally helping out. I was able to find the perfect pair in the perfect size but they only had them in brown and I wanted black... but I kinda liked the brown too. The girl that was assisting me confirmed they were in stock online and suggested that I order them from the website. She then told me that shipping is only two days and... wait for it... FREE! Yay!!! :)))) So here's my dilemma... Brown, in store purchase, instant gratification. Black, online purchase, receive them next week, practice patience. Brown, black, now, then. Ah heck... my philosophy has always been... when in doubt, buy both! I walked out with the hiking pants in brown and ordered the black pair when I got home! Happy days! :)) I love this store and I will definitely be back!

Arc'teryx Beta AR -- Fails Durability Expectations…read more I expected the Arc'teryx Beta AR to last, especially at this price. Instead, all my jackets developed zipper delamination and seam‑tape failure, despite minimal use and proper storage. There is no wear anywhere else, which makes it obvious the failure is in the materials and construction, not the user. Arc'teryx Warranty dismissed the issue and offered only 20% of the original price if I surrendered the jackets. They refused proper repairs, even if I paid. This does not meet the standard of reasonable durability that consumers expect -- especially from a brand that markets itself as the best in the industry. I'll be posting this experience on consumer platforms so others can make informed decisions. Premium pricing should come with premium durability and a responsible warranty -- Arc'teryx failed on both.

I saw a pair of pants I really wanted but they didn't have my size. I checked with the cashier & these pants are sold out in my size throughout all of their stores!

A few Sundays ago, I was in the Spadina-Queen Street West area. I walked by this MEC on my way to…read morean eatery for lunch. Walking back to my car after lunch, I decided to stop by this store and check it out. I like MEC. On the first floor, freeze-dried food was in front of me. Pad thai sounded great. I then saw electrolyte tablets and waffles. If you are looking for a water bottle, there are lots to choose from. From Hydro Flask, to MEC's own line, you can find something that will suit your hydration needs. I saw lots of camping items. Tents. Cookware. LED lanterns. This store has everything imaginable. The downside is that I didn't see any sales items. I find it expensive to shop here, especially post-co-op memberships. There are two floors to this store. You can take the stairs or find the elevator. I didn't buy anything. However, it was nice to browse. (433)

If you are at Richmond Hill needing some hiking and camping gear, the right kinds of tactical…read moreclothes to go paintballing in, or some army surplus, Creative is the place to go. Tucked deep away inside an outdoor plaza complex at the northwest corner of Highway 7 and West Beaver Creek, the location is small, but not overcrowded, so you'll surely find what you need and want. Many military paraphernalia on sale are much cheaper than many army surplus stores in Toronto. Creative stocks many other new outdoor and tactical gear at decent prices. Perhaps you could also be interested in a riot helmet to go along with a machete? Mad props to the man running the store, who is not only very friendly and accommodating, he is not an intimidating military-obsessed nut (as army surplus stores tend to be staffed by military fanatics). {YRT: probably simplest to use VIVA purple line to West Beaver Creek}

Take this review with a grain of salt-- it's strictly relative to all the other baitshops we've…read morebeen to. That said, the store is objectively quite good. The people who work there are nice (which is surprisingly unusual for a baitshop in Ontario), the prices are good (ditto; its a great spot to stockup on extra tackle and such en-route to your fishing spot), and the minnows are quite vigorous. In our experience driving across Ontario, you usually get to pick one of those things. No other shop we've seen has managed to hit all three. We've gotten fairly resigned to a sizable percentage (sometimes half) of the minnows dying before we get a chance to use them, but that just isn't the problem here. Every single unused minnow we bought is still alive and well in my cooler over a day later, and aside from a few that seem to have died from oxygen deprivation while we were changing fishing spots, we didn't lose any en-route. The only cons are: the place is a little bit hard to find (it's behind the Husky, and in a little corner unit that's a bit hard to spot), and occasionally their hours change a bit. So you may want to call in to be sure they're open at times. Still, the location is handy if you're going up North from the GTA to fish, and they're near Bass Pro (their reputation is good enough that the fellows at Bass Pro were the ones that originally directed us here), so its a great one-stop spot to replenish equipment as well as bait and tackle.
