So much so that a bicycle manufacturer knows about it. I broke my chain whip on a Monday evening and decided to try and new shop on a whim and ran over to pull a cassette off a wheel. These guys took care of it instantly. Three days later, I was having some bake issues and within an hour of drop off, one of their lead techs was already on the phone with Sram having a replacement overnighted. Definitely above and beyond! Pretty stoked on their work and attention to detail!

This site is no different offering the same great pricing and inventory as the others that I've been to. The staff is super friendly, professional and knowledgeable as well. One of the things I really enjoy about big five is the incredible sales they put on on a very regular basis. I typically will purchase a pocket knife of some sort for my father for birthdays, Christmas, Father's Day and any other time that there's a gift in need. He's a very outdoorsy kind of guy and has a tendency to lose his pocket knives so it's good to know that I can get him a quality replacement at a very reasonable price pretty much any week of the year.

This is a cool store. It's in the "old mill District" of Bend, and when you see the building, you…read morecan see why they call it that. It's a great store, two stories, with lots of goods. Clothes, shoes, outdoor gear, hiking gear, freeze dried backpacking food, energy bars, if you are looking for something for the outdoors, you will find it here. I bought a bicycle sometime back at REI, and it did me very very well. I'm on a "road trip", so I didn't buy anything today. Prices are definitely on the higher end, but hey, you get what you pay for. If you are an REI member, you get offers, and discounts throughout the year, and a rebate in the form of a gift card based on the amount that you spend every year. Not a bad deal. I really enjoyed the store. Thanks.

The Sportsman's Warehouse (SW) in Bend, OR sells Columbia PFD Rambler shorts with an attached $50…read moreprice tag. An internet search revealed that many other stores currently list them at half off that price, clearly closing them out for the end of summer. SW online lists these shorts as a clearance item and offers them on sale from $31.77 - $45.00. I purchased them and another item at the store only because I had a $50 gift card from a previous promotion, and I was passing through Bend. Until the next day, I failed to notice that I was charged $85 for the $50 shorts that other stores are closing out for $22-$32 and SW online is closing out for a $31.77-$45. I then called while 30 miles from Bend, with no plans to ever return there. The answering clerk stated that PFG had raised their price. This is a questionable claim, because Columbia manufactures these shorts and offers them for $50 on their website, and SW online and other retailers are offering them at clearance prices. The clerk then informed me I could only receive a refund for their having overcharged me 70% by coming in. That would cost me far more in time and driving expenses than the $35 that SW stole from me. I escalated to a manager who claimed company policy would not allow a refund over the phone due to "risk". He could not articulate what this mysterious "risk" was despite online and phone credit transactions being a worldwide routine business practice. I claimed that SW must find it more acceptable to cheat a customer by overcharging them than to possibly expose the company to this mysterious "risk". Presumably for lack of a reasonable reply, that mid-level manager claimed there was nothing he could do. I requested to talk to someone who could make decisions. After about a minute, the manager returned to our call and stated that members of upper management weren't available, but "they would tell me the same thing." He offered me a $40 gift card and stated that is all he could do. Clearly, that solution ensures any refund I receive of the money SW stole from me be spent on heavily marked up merchandise at SW. Apparently, cheating a fixed income senior citizen (and perhaps many other customers) by overcharging, knowing that a high percentage of customers cannot economically return to the Bend, Oregon store, is acceptable business practice by SW, a corporation worth $43.7 million. Representatives of the Bend, OR SW store ensured that a "risk" does exist, but it is the customer that incurs that risk. I will ensure that my future purchases are made elsewhere. Being short of options for restitution, I will spend the $40 gift card and not a dime more, I will post negative reviews on every possible site such as here and Google and Yelp, and will be filing a complaint with the Consumer Protection Division of the Oregon Department of Justice. Please help me to ensure that SW's unacceptable business practices cost them far more than the $35 they stole from me.

A very good selection of quality used clothing. Last year in preparation for walking the 500 mile Camino Pilgrimage in Spain a light weight down sleeping bag and bag liner for under $100. plus a number of small items. Today a very nice light weight nylon belt and a new in the box pair of Yac-tracks at half price, $20 instead of $40. The staff is friendly, helpful and well informed. They carry a limited selection of good new gear. My prize find was a Vintage LL Bean 100% wool jacket with a few very minor flaws. for $50 two years ago. They also offer free clinics on outdoor equipment use and repair. They also have great end of season sales. As a outdoors person for 60 plus years all over the US and abroad I am very impressed with them.

I ended up choosing the very FIRST shoe he wanted me to try. He also found some insoles for me to try, and even some HOKA sandals to wear at home to support my feet. The BEST PART is when I finally was able to see a podiatrist she was SO pleased with the shoes he had recommended, AND she was pleased with the house sandals, AND she was especially happy with the insoles and said, "they fit me like a glove." If you are in need of good shoes you CAN TRUST the people in this store. I work 10 hours a day on my feet as a mammo tech and I have been in severe pain since October.. I am so grateful for them and intend to always buy my shoes here going forward.
