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.

Far and away my favorite shop anywhere!…read more I've bought two rods/reels (Orvis and Abel both...hard to go wrong with that combo!), also a more budget friendly Orvis reel for a spare rod of mine (Nick recommended to go lower end on the reel...didn't try to push me into something too expensive as he knew my goal), and endless amounts of other items. Nick and the staff are awesome at listening to you and setting you up with the right stuff! It's refreshing to go to a shop and have someone not try to push you into something expensive, but instead explain it all and give you ALL the options, no-prejudgement at this shop. With that said my two rods (Helios F and Superfine), were not cheap, but are amazing! And also exactly as described by Nick. He couldn't have done a better job of educating me and setting me up! My relaxation time is on the river and I know Nick and the staff at Mountain Fly Shop have my back, understand how little time I have in my life to enjoy it, and they take care of me so well that I never have to worry whether or not I'm going to enjoy that time. The best in Fort Collins no doubt!!!

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.

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.

Eventually, I determined I needed a boot in a wide size and Jax didn't have what I wanted. So I continued shopping for other stuff. Keith found me in the store, and recommended a boot that DID come in a wide size. And since Jax didn't have it in stock, he caught me AGAIN as I was walking out the door and put the brand & model of the shoe on a piece of paper & gave it to me to buy online. I normally only leave bad reviews, but Keith really impressed me with his friendliness and customer service. I'll be back and thank you Keith!!

I had heard about Scheels for years but never stepped inside one. A friend of mine from Minnesota…read moreused to drive past the huge Scheels billboards whenever I visited, and for some reason I assumed it was more of a farm supply type place where people bought machinery and work clothes. Because of that completely wrong assumption, I never bothered to go in. Fast forward a few years and after reading the reviews here in Colorado I finally decided I had to see it for myself. Yesterday, March 6th, the weather was miserable. Cold, windy, light snow and rain. Not the kind of day you want to be outside, let alone skiing. So I figured it was the perfect day to finally give Scheels a try. I ended up spending five hours in the store and taking more than 250 photos, and this place absolutely blew my mind. There were sports and equipment sections I didn't even know existed. The store truly has everything you could possibly need and then some. What impressed me most was the staff. They were knowledgeable and helpful but didn't hover every five seconds like some stores do, which allowed me to really explore and absorb everything. The shoe selection was outstanding with every kind of running shoe, ski boot, work boot and outdoor footwear you could imagine, and the shoe staff were clearly well trained helping customers. I also spent about 45 minutes in the luggage section, which was surprisingly impressive. It's clearly a curated department run by someone who truly understands travel. I spoke with a luggage specialist who I believe is from Asia and a serious world traveler herself. She was incredibly knowledgeable and immediately understood what I meant when I told her I was tired of hard-sided luggage and wanted something built for an active lifestyle. She introduced me to a beautiful 100-liter Patagonia rolling duffel with durable wheels, strong zippers, and soft-sided construction that can actually handle real travel. These types of bags come with lifetime guarantees on the wheels and zippers, and now I'm officially saving my pennies to buy one. The store itself was alive and buzzing with families, couples, hunters, skiers and outdoor enthusiasts everywhere. The only section that felt a little thin was the women's golf apparel where most of the XS sizes were gone, while the men's golf section was very well stocked. Parking was plentiful and easy. Scheels isn't just a sporting goods store. It's an experience.

Walking into Runners Roost in Fort Collins feels like stepping into a true Colorado running…read moreinstitution. This isn't a generic big-box sporting goods store. Runners Roost has been part of the Colorado running culture since 1977, when the first location opened in Colorado Springs. Over the years it has grown carefully to about ten locations across the Front Range, while still keeping that independent, community-driven feel. The Fort Collins store absolutely carries that spirit. Even though I didn't end up buying shoes this time, I really enjoyed the energy and vibe of the shop. It's welcoming, knowledgeable, and clearly built around people who actually run and understand the sport. They also carry a serious lineup of brands. You'll find running staples like HOKA, Brooks, Saucony, ASICS, New Balance, Altra, and On, along with apparel and gear designed specifically for runners and endurance athletes. What stood out to me most was the variety. Whether you're a serious marathon runner, a trail runner, or someone who just wants a comfortable pair of walking shoes, there are plenty of options to explore. Fort Collins has a lot of great shops in Old Town, but places with nearly 50 years of running heritage are rare. Runners Roost is one of them. Definitely worth stopping in if you care about running, walking, or just want to browse a store that actually knows its craft.
