I stopped into Sierra in Fort Collins and it's a really interesting alternative to stores like REI…read moreor Dick's Sporting Goods. The big difference is that Sierra works on an off-price model, similar to TJ Maxx, which means they buy overstock and past-season gear from major outdoor brands and sell it at significant discounts. Because of that, you can sometimes find the same brands you'd see at REI such as The North Face, Smartwool, Fjällräven, Carhartt, and other outdoor favorites, but at much lower prices. The inventory changes constantly, so the store has more of a "treasure hunt" feeling rather than the predictable layout you get at traditional sporting goods stores. Fort Collins is the perfect place for a store like this since the whole town revolves around hiking, running, skiing, and outdoor life, and Sierra offers a great way to find quality gear without paying full retail.

Both times I've been in this store I've had bad interactions with the employees…read more First time: kid tried to sign me up for a credit card deceptively at the register. Said I'd get a discount if I put down some information, and I had to stop him once he got to my SSN. Second time: Some lady yelled at me cause I went into an (open) area that was near a construction zone. Was super unfriendly and when I said I was looking for a bathroom she answered with tons of attitude saying there's no bathrooms open. I cannot recommend shopping here. It's poor service and you'd be better off just finding their stuff for cheaper on Amazon.

Once Madison got me prepared for me 14er I told her I wanted to go backpacking too so she connected me with Danny. And he was answering all my questions and got me a nice backpack. Unfortunately they didn't have any tents that I wanted so I wasn't able to grab tents. But I got a super sweet back pack and all my gear for a 14er. Thank you Madison and Danny(:

I have lived in the state a long time, nearly my whole life and have never been to REI until today…read more Last year i did a couple of online orders with them because my daughter took up climbing and she needed some gear. I opted to become a member for $20 which is lifetime and you get to have a percentage kickback beginning of march each year if you spend money. REI online is pretty nice. You can find anything you could possibly want. If you order over $50 they can direct ship to you at no cost. I only shopped on there a few times last fall. Today was my first visit into the store. They had hand sanitizer outside if you feel like you need it. Curbside pick up spaces. A person at the front door to help point you in the direction you need to go if you are like me and need help. The climbing expert was friendly and answered all the questions i had. I had ordered some climbing shoes online for myself and unfortunately they did not fit. I was taking them into REI to exchange them for something else that did fit. I was grateful that the local store was able to refund verses my having to ship back and get a refund that way. They had quite a variety of climbing shoes in stock. Though not the size of the shoe i wanted. They ended up ordering the new shoe in for me and it is going to be shipped to my house. They had a lot of other climbing supplies as well. (and I am sure many other things) Though climbing was all i looked at. The cashier was friendly and helpful. The store was clean. While i can't afford to shop here on a regular basis. I wish i could lol. Lots of great stuff, for a bit of a spendy price but they will have what you want. Hence the 4. If their prices were just a little bit lower they would get a 5.

We were assisted by a young man named Evan, who was extremely helpful. He answered our questions, gave us great information that novices like us wouldn't have even thought of, and helped us adjust the poles to our height.
