Half-Moon Outfitters is a fiercely independent regional chain of outdoor stores. Founded in downtown Charleston, it serves several states with a boutique selection of the best products the outdoor industry has to offer. The store prides itself on being first to feature new, innovative, and interesting items. While its products are noted as being a bit expensive, the quality is consistently described as excellent. Customers find the staff to be very kind, helpful, and not pushy, providing dedicated service like running back and forth to fetch multiple items. The stores often have better selections and specific sizes that others lack. Their service model is meaningful, demonstrated by staff who will call another location to have an out-of-stock item shipped directly to a customer's home quickly. They also provide helpful follow-up on orders. This commitment is why many choose to shop local and return each year, stating Half-Moon is the best. The primary critique involves some difficulty processing tax exemptions. Overall, it is considered a good stop for outfitter-type clothing and gear.
We liked this store. Great selection of shoes and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely return.

Stopped in today for a pair of Smith Sunglasses. I was immediately greeted by Jack and Brett who were super friendly and very knowledgeable. They showed great hospitality and we felt very welcome. Never experienced greater customer service than what these young men showed us.

Friendly, knowledgable staff. An eclectic selection of outdoor products with decent prices given its downtown location. Also, they’re super dog-friendly—makes the shopping experience that much better while traveling with a canine companion.
