They are at par or even better than North face for certain things which is a very popular brand in the US. Their most popular products are their KÅNKEN backpacks . They have a backpack for every occasion. Their extensive range has set them apart from other brands like Osprey from day packs to laptop bags, to trekking backpacks, and many more. With the great looking products ,the prices are as expected on the higher end . The products however last a very long time and are perfect for Northwest as well as bitter cold weather areas too . By being part of the Sustainable Apparel Coalition and the Fair Labor Association, Fjällräven is doing its bit for the environment as well

Once I walked into the store I was greeted and asked if I needed anything. I responded by saying no. This is totally fine. Not even 3 mins later, the same guy came and asked me if I needed anything while I was looking at bags, I again said no. The same man AGAIN asked me if I needed anything and I didnt respond. My gosh let people enjoy their shopping experience.

Once upon a bargain dream, you shined so bright and kind,…read moreBut your basement full of goodwill finds feels lost in dusty time. Those shelves once held the magic where the cheap and quirky gleamed, Now the prices sit there towering far higher than I dreamed. I wandered through the upper floor, all pristine, neat, and new, But the true delight was down below, where hidden treasures grew. Now the swell of cost has smothered that old familiar spark, And taking all the kiddos' toys? That's what really hit the mark. Sure, I found a gem or two that made my heartbeat skip, But joy can turn to sorrow with a single tightened grip. So hear my plea and soften don't make thrifters pay in gold; Bring back the charm, the deals, the warmth, the stories once foretold. Let kindness guide your pricing, let nostalgia ring its chime For something dear has vanished here, A bargain lost in time .

This is a pretty cool spot to buy local gear in a very central location. The staff is always very…read morefriendly and accommodating. There is no dedicated parking, so finding a spot to park can be challenging at times. There are also a lot of unhoused people in the adjacent neighborhood. There is a lot of stuff here! It's actually a little overwhelming to try to navigate the store because there are literally racks and shelves of stuff everywhere. So Probably not the best place if you get claustrophobic easily. My favorite part about this place is definitely the bargain basement. You can sell your stuff, find good deals, and even rent ski and snowboard equipment! This place is basically a local REI with the chance to sell used equipment and score a good deal in in their bargain area. Check it out if you have a chance.

We stumbled onto Cotopaxi about a month ago as we were taking a nice stroll along 23rd Avenue in…read moredowntown Portland. We were not familiar with the brand, but with a big trip (at the time) coming up to a small island in Nicaragua and a large SALE sign out front, well, we had to go in. Right? Cotopaxi, I learned, focused on making durable travel and clothing gear as ethically and sustainable as possible. They also donate 1% of revenue to non-profits that help communities experiencing poverty. The store, while having a lot of items, did a nice job displaying their merchandise throughout the space. The bright and multi-color products are eye catching. The quality of the products are high end and I am in agreement with their statement; durable. The staff asked if we knew much about their product, which we did not, and they were more than happy to take the time to talk to us about who Cotopaxi is, their focus and answer and recommend products we were interested in or looking for. In addition of course we asked where the SALE items were. We were lead to the nice back porch and found backpacks, fanny packs, duffle bags and both men and woman's clothing racks. We decided to check out the large back packs and purchase two (2) for our trip. We very quickly discovered their products do not go on sale frequently, so we lucked out with a great discount on the day we decided to make our first visit. The bags were perfect for what we needed on our trip. I was pleasantly surprised with how much each bag actually held. They have great capacity! Additionally the areas are distributed with different zipped contained sections which allows for easy packing and organization. These bags traveled so well, especially considering we carried them onto 2 major airline flights, one small puddle jumper flight and then a low boat ride for 90 minutes through the mangroves of Nicaragua and then served us well on the small 12 acre island on the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua. Fast forward, 5 weeks later and as we walked through the Portland Saturday market we spotted a couple with the husband wearing the same Cotopaxi backpack. We stopped and chatted for a bit. They found the store yesterday and he purchased the bag. While pricy, he was already enjoying the product greatly and happy he purchased it. All in all, high priced product, but for the quality, organization and capacity I would absolutely buy the item again. Now that said, I also would prefer to wait for another sale!! SCORE.

The price point is premium with tents priced at $1,000 and camping chairs and tables priced at $200. There's a ton of cool features and several items have a modular design like the outdoor grill and cooktop station. Each Snow Peak item is meticulously designed for function, style and durability. Table tops were made from bamboo and aluminum components. I was mesmerized at how chairs and tables folded up neatly. Snow peak is also launching a restaurant in the back called Tabiki? Hoping they offer yakitori and other Japanese cuisine. Also heard some award winning cocktails from local talent will be in the menu. Shopping and food? That's a winning combo.
