Matt was so incredibly helpful! It’s our first time winter hiking and Matt helped us pick out all the right gear and even gave us tips on some nice hikes!

Special thanks to J.P for his help. I felt he was steering me in the right direction even if REI may no longer get that sale. Excellent experience as usual at REI.

We had a wonderful time Christmas shopping today! I was unaware of the new no bag policy but luckily they found 2 paper bags for our purchases. I forgot the girls name but she was so friendly and grabbed stuff out of my hands and brought them up front for me so I could continue shopping. Thank you!
