The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and eager to help get your gear back to you. In an age where consumer goods seem to end up in the landfill so quickly, it's nice to see a business giving items a second chance and a new lease on life. My favorite business in Canmore, thanks Kumpfy's!

Canada Post Strike resulted in a $65 quote from UPS or Purolator to return a jacket. Contacted Rude…read moreBoys and asked if I could wait for Canada Post strike to be over. They said no. I went through everything I could to find a cheaper method, and applied for a UPS business account and got a more reasonable rate of $28. Contacted Rude Boys on day 15 of the 15 day return period, asking to return the item the next day (on the 16th day). They refuse! They wont even consider the Canada Post strike to return an item, even if I am shipping on the 16th day, and asked them on the 15th day of the return. Never shop with these guys online. There is a reason why they are still a small business, as they do not understand customer satisfaction even when it wont cost them a cent! AVOID !

I came into Rude Boys last week to buy my first pair of snowboard boots and a pair of new…read moresnowboarding socks. When I first went into the shop I was greeted by some friendly sales people and told them what I was looking for and they pointed out the wall of socks and brought me over to the side of the store with the women's boots. I was a little disappointed with their smaller selection of socks, but I ended up with a pair of Stance Feel 360 So Fly Snow Women's socks and they were great on the mountain! They were also the only pair that I saw that were size small on the wall. I told them what kind of riding I did and that I wasn't really too sure what I was looking for since I've only ever rented snowboard boots before this. I knew I wanted to try all three of the different lacing systems and different brands as well. The man helping me was very nice and went downstairs a few different times to pull more shoes out for me. He was very patient as I tried on three different boots, and then asked for more, he brought a few more out and I went back and forth between the different pairs. I also asked questions about the fit and he was able to answer them. I ended up purchasing a pair of ThirtyTwo boots which were on sale. I used them during the week and they felt pretty good.

Located in the main downtown Banff mall as one of the flagship stores. It's got a normal selection…read morefocusing on winter and hiking gear. It was a bit short on the fishing gear but looking at the selection, prices look somewhat comparable to its American counterpart. Stores like these in the resort / tourist towns seem to be more like an advertisement storefront than actually focusing on product sales to stay afloat (looking at Banff, Boulder Pearl Street, etc).

Clothes and bear spray. And they do have a good selection of colder weather clothing. Lots of hoodies, and jackets. Vests and beanies. The staff were perfectly helpful and distant when I wanted them to be. The store was clean and well kept, and also well lit. The items here were not nearly as plentiful as I had expected and while everyone in town carries North Face, I was surprised that some of the stores nearby actually had stuff these guys didn't. I'm sure that's by design and I like it. But yea, this store is legit and I liked it.

I've had only good shopping experiences here at Snowflake for over 10 years…read more My latest visit was just to browse, but I found a couple of gorgeous fur hats and a pair of fur mittens. I had to have them. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I've worked in retail for many years, so I also know you can ask for a discount at any time. You don't have to wait for a sale. There were many items on sale at the back. Everything is beautiful. It is true that some of the accessories are manufactured in China, but the fur coats are Canadian.

We walked into the store with coffees, obviously not a good idea. This older sales woman with a…read moreRussian accent told us to leave because we had coffees, and that's understandable, but she then said that we couldn't pay for it if we spilt on anything. I said sorry and left but told her on the way out that I actually could pay for anything in that store. I advise you all not to spend money here!!

On a previous visit there, we had spotted a handmade birdhouse that we planned to send as a gift for a family member's birthday. When I called and enquired about stock a few months later, that particular one wasn't available. They offered to get in contact with their supplier and try their best to track one down for me. They took my number to stay in touch and kept me updated every step of the way. We're so grateful for the effort they put in to helping us track down the perfect gift!
