The team here is always friendly and is very helpful when looking for items and if they don't have it they work hard to find it or something very similar. They have a large variety of LSU items to choose from. T-shirts, polos, hats, visors, stickers, magnets...they have it all. They do have Saints gear for those that love Black & Gold too! They always have something on sale too. Whether it's on sale or at regular price it's always a great value and worth supporting locally owned businesses!

I am not a runner, more of a walker and weight training kind of girl. there were people in there of all different ages and exercise abilities so it's not just a store for runners. Jessica analyzed my walk, asked about my exercise activities and what I wanted in a shoe. She brought out 5 different pairs and discussed the pros/cons of each pair based on my needs. Found the perfect pair - a brand (Hoka) I'd never even heard of before my chiropractor suggested it. You can even wear your shoes for 30 days and bring them back to exchange for a different pair if they don't work out. That's customer service! Don't waste money shopping around for shoes that may or may not fit properly, go see the experts and get the right fit for your needs. Your feet will thank you!

The variety of accessories and of sizes would rival the experience of ordering online or via the app. I stopped in recently to exchange an item for a friend who was unable to find the correct size in New Orleans expecting a long wait as the store was quite busy for a Thursday morning but from assisting me in finding the correct size to making the exchange I was in and out in minutes. The staff members were nice and efficient and made the entire process a pleasure . While most of the selection at Lululemon is on the pricier side of athleisure the value can be found in the comfort, durability classical style .

It's spaced out so their apparel racks are very spaced out. I love this place....

I've been looking for a roof rack loader for my Pescador Perception so, since Thule and Yakima accessories are pretty much interchangeable, I Google search Thule and Yakima dealers in the area. Two popped up and The Backpacker was one of them. It's a dreary rainy day and lunch time. I managed to find the shop in spite of the lunch traffic on Jefferson Hwy. I parked and walked inside. I was immediately received with a friendly greeting by several of the staff with offers to help me. I told them I was "just looking around" and they left me to myself with me knowing if I needed any help they'd be there. I like that. I wandered around for about 30 minutes and I managed to find a few things. Some I needed and some I didn't know I needed. So, I carried my bounty to the register and was checking out. I asked the young man if they had a THule or Yakima kayak loader. He replied, " We don't have any T-hule loaders or Yakima loaders in stock." I always find it amusing when the folks in the outfitting shops do that. I'm not "Sveedish" so I'll continue to say "THule" LOL. In all seriousness, the shop is very comfortable and friendly. The staff are extremely helpful and not overbearing/pushy. I travel to BR often on business and I'll continue to stop by "The Backpacker" to find things I didn't know I needed. I'm convinced that if they don't have it, you don't really need it. Kudos to The Backpacker and the wonderful staff. - Rain Man "And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul." - John Muir
