(I regard it as wrong to go a store to check out the prospective purchase, then complete the deal with a rival; that's just me). I am not sure if they guarantee it, but I also have not found much of a difference if any in the cost. I write also to vouch for the quality of REI branded gear. I have not been disappointed. Their stuff is as good as any rivals. They seem to offer it for less as well. The other experience I have had is with returns. They live up to their reputation, which is positive. REI and Nordstrom are better than any other retailer. Their staff must be selected as polite or trained to offer exemplary customer service. Of this type of store, REI is my favorite. This specific venue also seems new, even though it is not.

Went to look for some bibs, waders, or rain/fishing outfit.

We stopped by to do a little shopping on our way back to the hotel. Saw some really nice jackets,…read morebut I realized I have too many jackets at home and I live in SoCal where the temps are consistently in the 70's. So, I ended up with a cute little flat bottom tote bag and the foodie sidekick bought a new hat. Friendly staff, great products, and they gave us a sticker with our purchase. All was well in our world.

The employees I have interacted with are all helpful and chill, in the not typical retail manner which is Patagonia that I admire. I definitely recommend this location of Patagonia.

This store is definitely a store for me and my son. Funko pops and lots of shirts. I love the…read morekatana selections that they have. That also have knives and daggers. You can get them sharpened before you leave the store. Service wasn't great. They don't welcome you in when you walk inside the store. I loved the ping pong that they have in the beginning of the store. The value is SF prices (highly not recommended) because you can get Funko pops way cheaper at stores in Concord.

But it's SF, thinks aren't supposed to be cheaper here. Sure enough. In the sale bin they did. They have plenty of shoes and many different types of sporting goods. Come check them out. The staff was nice but didn't need much help. Found what we were looking for.

Stopped by to pick my swag up for the Presidio Marathon. I love the set up of the place and has an…read moreold school feel to it. The people are very friendly and love the card board signs. There's tons of great variety of brands especially preparing for race day. Typically there's an additional discount on last minute items needed for race day. The only down side is you have to pay for parking which I figured because it is the city, but other than that I love sports basement.

As soon as we walked in, we were welcomed with very friendly, knowledgeable guys. Amazing what they have done in the space to have so much of a selection of gear and supply. Don't miss the fly tying supply room in the back. Very impressed with the shop and customer service! We will be attending some of their classes/ guide trips soon! Just go to the shop... you'll be glad you did!

Outstanding people who love to fish and help fly fishers! I'm a rookie fly fisherman with modest…read moreexperience and equally modest gear. I've been to their SF shop several times and they always show patience and a strong focus on making me successful. They carry the best top-line gear and will show you how to benefit from quality equipment, however I appreciate their, "Use what you have attitude." When I ask, "Can I use my XYZ"? They usually say, Yes, and don't try to up-sell me on expensive gear. That's the difference between a "Fly Shop Retailer" and a Fly Fishing disciple! Want to know where to fish? Just ask. They'll pull up a map and give you directions to exactly where to go!

I need something to wear as I only brought a vest and short sleeve shirts. Never heard of Filson, but I found a wool lightweight jacket almost right away. I am impressed by the craftsmanship and will be checking out their website for more items! Wool can be pricy so don't be sticker shocked. Based in Washington State it's got a North Pacific Style I'm digging! It's a solid wardrobe piece you'll get a lot of use from!

JUST BUTTON IT We…read morewere there at the Montgomery location getting a new trekking coat for the husband. Before we found it, I was looking at this great ultra suede type of shirt that one of the CS guys took from under my hand (OK). So we find this great jacket, about 400 dollars and I tell the hubby to put it on. He does, it fits, but he can't button it (needs to be broken in). I showed him, he trys again, so nope. I call one of the CS and ask him how to button until it loosens. He says, and I kid you not, "just button it". That was all it took after the other snub and we just walked out. Very weird, but I guess the world will be like that for women from now on.

Just in, a delicious new backpack, shrimp color, sort of pinkish orange. Of course I need a third backpack. They come in many sizes. You'll also find camping gear, such as clothing, & switchblades behind the counter. Lots of varied sizes & colors of accessory pouches & fanny packs, aka hip packs. I'd reference the store name again, but can't find the appropriate keyboard for those "a"s. Anyway, worth a detour for sure.
