Fabulous local shop and wonderful to look for pre-owned outdoor gear. We were looking for pre-owned skis for our kids and this was the right place to go! The staff is super helpful and knowledgeable - not to mention they took the stress out of buying used skis as they check all bindings against the indemnification list to make sure they are safe and serviceable. We came back and forth about 10 times ? to get things right and what we needed. So happy to support a local shop! We'll be back again!

Fantastic store and staff. You will find great deals on high quality seasonal gear (kids ski, adults ski, snowshoes, climbing, boots, and tons of outwear). Unlike some other resale shops in town, you won't find surly attitudes or junk.

I have consistently found EXCELLENT deals on gently used outdoor items here - Carhartts for work, nearly brand-new Keens for play, puffy vests under $20 for *survival* - they have some gold here if you're willing to spend a little time sifting. They also offer high quality new items, this is where I was convinced to buy my Nemo sleeping pad and it's been worth every penny (especially with the lifetime warranty which Tiffany helped me access by tracking down my original receipt from 2 years ago!). The staff has always been helpful, chipper, and informative - there's a little map corner in the store and I had a fantastic conversation with the gentlemen perched there about good camping in Eastern Oregon. If you love the outdoors, and planning adventures, you must stop in to Foster Outdoor!

the value of the used items upstairs is stellar. however, it was so incredibly hot in the store that we couldn’t stay. if it’s a hot day, beware!

They have a lot of reasonably priced used outdoor wear in good condition. Everything is well organized and clearly marked. They also have plenty of new equipment. The staff is friendly and very helpful. There's only one changing room.

Not so great, avoid!!I date a person that lives just up the street from this place.1. They have consignment. It's great with lots of merch at just under market rate.ButThe dark haired woman presenting person that looks at your stuff gives a lecture every time.Three times my partner took things inThree times they took most the things brought.Three times it was a nonstop lecture and even more comments about why she didn't want something. You said no we got it the lecture has made my partner swear off this place, "We will go to Next Adventure" for recycling trail running gear.2. They have 2 people that know what they are selling. The male presenting person that claims to be the owner and another male presenting person that's never there.The rest of the people that "work" there ignore you. Even when you are the only two people in the store. No one says hello when you walk in. No one asked if you need help. If you ask for help they are always busy talking on the phone or to each other.3. Prices. This place is mostly high retail prices. Even the used stuff. But on this my partner says, "it is better than REI" and used to say "it's good for the stuff I'm selling".My partner still shops this place but complains every single time that they shouldn't. I go with them sometimes.Save your money and your anxiety... Avoid avoid avoid.

The new storefront is gorgeous, and I am so thrilled they held onto their resale items, which are on the second floor. Twice I have purchased a used backpack from them in excellent condition for an excellent price. Friendly staff as well!
