If you like name-brand outdoor clothing but not name-brand outdoor clothing prices, Marin Outdoor…read moreTrading Company should be on your radar. With a mix of consignment clothing and manufacturer samples, MOTC is a small, local shop with an enticing mix of offerings. Even though the consignment clothing would never count as cheap, every piece appears to be in great shape with no evidence of wear. The sample pieces, still sporting manufacturer tags, also sport a huge discount off their recommended sales price. I picked up a pre-worn, stylish fleece from The North Face for $30 and felt that price was reasonable and returned home to tell my son he should check the place out for the sort of outdoor men's pants he likes. The array of offerings is not dissimilar from what one finds at REI, but on a much smaller scale. There's other outdoor stuff here too - including a proprietor with whom one can engage in for everything fishing related. Despite its size, the store features clothes for all ages and genders as well as outdoor equipment. Whether you've outgrown something or just want something new or gently worn, if you're seeking outdoor clothing and like those name brands, MOTC should be on your radar.

I recently stopped by in search of new shoes for my travels, and I was blown away by the level of care, patience, and expertise that Chris and Mecque brought to the experience. They took the time to walk me through multiple shoe options, encouraging me to try on different styles and really pay attention to what felt good and what didn't. They didn't rush the process, and their knowledge and kindness made it such an enjoyable experience. It's rare these days to find that kind of thoughtful, patient service where the goal is to truly help you find the right fit--not just make a sale. Supporting local businesses like this is so important, especially when they go above and beyond to offer genuine, personalized service. I'm thrilled with my new cushioned shoes and feel so much more prepared for my upcoming travels. Huge thanks to Chris and Mecque for their care and attention to detail! If you're in the area, definitely check them out. It's the kind of shopping experience that reminds you why buying local matters.

Had such a disgusting experience shopping with this store on the SHOP app! I paid $282+ for these…read moresneakers which were a rare Nike Prototype and they really sent them in a shipper bag from CA to NY via USPS Ground! Of course, upon receipt, the box was crushed and torn in a corner. As you can imagine, I was highly disappointed and commented on their instagram page expressing my dissatisfaction. I then called yesterday on 03/22/2025 and spoke with a manager named Crystal. This woman was completely unprofessional, disrespectful and threatening! She was totally unhinged. Not only did she insult me, but she actually said I wasn't a runner (which couldn't be further from the truth as I actually run a 5k approximately 3-4x a week). She said I needed to "put on my shoes, go outside, be happy and smile." Unbelievably presumptuous and rude! Then she ended our call by hanging up on me right before calling me a scammer then she was going to report me to the Shop app. Even if I wasn't a runner, which I am, whether I chose to wear my shoes or take a dump in them is entirely my business! When I purchase something new, especially when it's close to $300, I would expect that not only the shoes, but the box arrives to me in new condition. To add insult to injury, she demanded I send the shoes back "in a box," which I found to be totally rich as they hadn't even sent it to me in a box! The woman is mentally unstable. I could even hear her shaking through the phone. Not once did I raise my voice or use profanity and her reaction was 100% unwarranted. Update: I'm changing my feedback from 1 star to 3 because apparently I was issued a refund, but unbeknownst to me. I only saw it appear on my account after the fact. As I had previosly mentioned to leadership, an apology would have gone a long way with me. No one was asking for money back or charity, but I appreciate the initiative nonetheless. I still feel the manager Crystal is problematic and should be spoken to by whoever she reports to in addition to receiving some much needed sensitivity and customer service training.

I didn't think I would buy this beautifully refurbished bike that day, but after chatting with Cesar it became clear that doing business with him would be a very positive experience. I was right! He went out of his way to make sure the bike fit me perfectly by ordering additional parts to extend the head stem and raise the seat. He kept me informed about when it would be ready and went out of his way to earn my business. While his bike shop is not geographically convenient to me, after this experience, I would travel the extra mile(s) to San Anselmo to do business with Caesar again -- in a New York minute! (Plus there are beautiful bike trails in the area). The whole experience was A-1. Highly recommend this shop.

I had never been to Caesar's but decided to try it out since I was in a bit of a pinch. I arrived as the shop was opening, and Caesar graciously put my bike on his stand and fixed it as I waited. The repair included tapping a bolt hole I had damaged on the spider. I like establishing a relationship with a shop, and I used to go to Tony Tom at Bicycle Odyssey. Caesar's technical ability and friendliness really won me over as a customer and I'll take my bikes to him from now on.
