Olivia R.

Super nice and helpful staff! They had a great selection! I really enjoyed visiting this store, they had stuff that was very very affordable, and as you would expect for hiking gear stuff that was more expensive. They had a wide selection and stuff you wouldn't find at REI, or EMS, so I was pleasantly surprised. The staff helped fit a hiking backpack me and my husband could share. So we were really happy! I even found super cute headwear by Skida, a brand I had never heard of before, it's made in Vermont. It's such a pretty print. We got an Osprey backpack, which I am excited about to take pressure off my back while hiking! Awesome selection, they had mountain climbing shoes, hiking shoes, fishing gear. Very well stocked store! They even had books and gear for your dogs!

I was in the store did not see a sign about return policy of a micro spikes as the displays are full of gear. first off the prices are way higher than the manufacturer prices, 2nd I live 4.5 hrs away from this store. I tried one side crampon in store on carpet. it was a gift for my brother and found out his foot is way larger than mine. I was in the store in less than 12 hours and called to get a refund. This is poor customer service if a package and product is not used and paid an over manufacturing pricing is clearly robbery of clients. watch out for your wallets in this place. Owner didn't want to take care of a new customer that was referred to his store. I will never return and had planned to after I had left. Wow don't let the high end mentality fool you. Sad attitude towards customers on making special exceptions for returns. Wow.... And see how they play the victim in customers supposedly scamming them. Check out manufacturer current prices prior to buying. micro spikes are not considered climbing gear to the manufacturer if you call them. Seems like the altitude or lack of customer service aka fleecing is the way here.

Making good use of my Ice Axes, Crampons, and Mountaineering boots from The Mountaineer

Prepping for an upcoming trip to Mt Rainier and wouldn't go anywhere else for gear and expert advice! These folks are the best around.

I purchased a custom sleeping bag from The Mountaineer and couldn't be happier. Vinny and crew were very helpful. Thank you!

My wife and I stop almost every time we go hiking in the ADKs even if it's just to look at all the gear.

Matt was very helpful in teaching me the basics about bow shooting. He helped me choose two…read morereasonably priced bows for Christmas presents. The store is well laid out and located downtown. A valuable asset to the community.

There are two entrances and when I walked into the fishing side I was very quiet. I knew what I…read morewanted -- Filson Tin Cloth Packer Hat. Once I picked it out I started to do a little window shopping, the woman at the counter saw me and apologized for not greeting me when I walked in.... In a world where give you vacant, here was a sincere apology for not welcoming me. I could have bought it online for $45 (plus shipping). I paid $50 and had it. In the last 10 years there are new owners, and definitely the same great service and possibly better prices. If you shop enough you could find things cheaper -- somewhere --- but you won't match the service. One of the things I like the best about Blue Line (no one says 'Sports Shop') is that for a small store, family owned, they usually give you a couple choice --- high end and cheaper May 2013: Have to revisit this, went in expecting to by a 2/3 wt fly reel. I had talked to (learned later) the owner on the phone and he implied there was a reel in the store. There wasn't. I asked the gentleman for a spool price, to order, and he said only the owner was allowed to give that out.... not the best way to do service
