I'm a long distance backpacker. I have a few things from a company called Arcteryx, and was looking…read morefor an authorized dealer. I went to their website and this shop popped up as a dealer location. I was intrigued since I hadn't heard of it before. I have to admit that when I first walked in, I thought I was in the wrong place. The front of the store isn't really outdoor gear. I lot of it is women's casual clothing. Then I started noticing things in the back. They have a pretty extensive collection of Darn Tough wool socks. Many of the styles were limited edition ones that I've never seen anywhere else. They had some other outdoorsy clothes in the back. I was impressed with the amount of Marmot items they carry. There were some outdoor gear items in a small section in the very back, but it doesn't seem to be a big part of their business. One of the items that stood out to me was the Sea to Summit Aeros inflatable travel pillow. I wish II'd had one of those for my flights to and from Hawaii earlier this year. The cost is similar to a regular travel pillow, but it's inflatable so it doesn't take up much space when you aren't using it. I asked about the Arcteryx gear. They said Arcteryx doesn't work with small shops like them anymore. It isn't their fault that they're still listed as a dealer, but I was disappointed about it. However, I expect I'll head back in a month or so when they get their winter stock in. I suspect they'll have some good winter jackets and gloves, and I really want to take a closer look at all the Darn Tough styles they had. Wool socks are so good for keeping your feet warm in the winter. And I just might pick up an Aeros pillow while I'm there, too.

And on the strength of Lindsay R.'s review, I consulted Google Maps and made my way to Beaverdale and to Back Country Outfitters. Beaverdale is a cute little area and I'm glad I made a trip to a neighbourhood I would have not normally sought out. Back Country Outfitters is kind of a mini REI, with knowledgeable staff, an interesting meandering layout, and a nice selection of outdoors gear, women's' clothing, travel bags and gifts. There's plenty of free parking and definitely worth the trip.

She was smiling and helpful and said it's fine even if I was late. Anyways disappointing experience.

But, in fact, they usually are!! I honestly believe that Kohl's offers everyone an outstanding value on almost all of the products they sell. Their prices on goods are both reasonable and fair, and offer solid value for price paid. All of their stores are exceptionally clean, well stocked and the merchandise is attractively displayed. And Kohl's does an excellent job of hiring. Their employees are courteous, professional, well informed , helpful and friendly! What's not to like about Kohl's? I will continue to shop at Kohl's well into the foreseeable future!
