The proprietor, Paul, was so gracious and informative. At the time, the Esopus was down , as were trout. He recommended rivers where we were actually staying, even showed us how to access them. He recommended flies and techniques. I've been out with a few guides here and there but this gentleman was off the charts superb and NICE! So nice, that we are returning in the Fall to go out with him on the Esopus. He is the kind of guide I look forward to being out with. Remember, I had not been out yet but can't wait.

The best boot fitters this side of the Rockies! It's…read moreheartwarming that Kieth's legacy lives on through his son and his very capable staff of boot fitters. The last set of boots I bought from The Pro ski and Ride was professionally fitted by Kieth more years ago than I like to admit. I realized that the time was now to purchase probably my last set of boots as I am 75 years old skier. Yesterday, I made an appointment to purchase and fit new boots, and Mary helped me choose the boot that was right for me. She guided me through all my options and we decided on Dalbello's with a wrap around lining. She took as much time as she needed to make sure the boots were perfect for my feet. After she custom fit the boot, I have to say they are the most comfortable boot I have ever owned. She was trained by Kieth and he would be so proud of her skills. Need new ski boots? Tough feet to fit? Want an incredible selection of boots to choose from? Then The Pro is the place you need to go!

After having kids and taking a 5 year break from skiing my stuff was just outdated. Giovani was knowledgeable and super patient! I wanted the perfect fit for boots and didn't have much knowledge on what skis I was looking for. They also had a great range of boots and sis to choose from. Give this place I try - I highly recommend it!

When news broke out this Kingston, NY L.L. Bean would open, I was excited. But a fire struck and…read moredelayed the grand opening. Fast forward and here's L.L. My closet isn't filled to the brim with L.L.Bean- but I do like their casual look of their clothes. The few pieces I've purchased throughout the years are neutral enough I can easily add on to my own personal style. Plus L.L. doesn't mess around with their fabric. The clothes are crisp- especially the women's button downs and women's blazers that have clean lines and are perfectly tailored - but carefree where I can funktify the look. This L.L. is super spacious with women's, men's, doggy attire, a small bedding section and of course, items for the avid fisher person. Help is everywhere here and you will not go unnoticed. The smiles and the willingness to help if you have a question or look for an item, is genuine. L.L.'s sheets and clothing I own are worth every dollar.

For quite some time, I used to come here with a friend or by myself, pick up a complementary map of Kennedy Park, and go for a little hike. The entrance to the park is right at the store's parking lot, which makes it especially convenient. The map shows the different trails throughout the park, and I would choose one and enjoy a leisurely hike. A nice lady warmly greeted me when I walked in. I browsed around the store for a while but didn't end up purchasing anything this time. I did notice their wonderful selection of hiking shoes displayed along the back wall, which caught my attention. Over the years, I've purchased quite a few items from this store, so it was nice to return and browse once again. It was wonderful to revisit a place that brought back such pleasant memories of those hikes, as well as some enjoyable shopping experiences over the years.

I came in to drop off my snowboard for repair and after looking it over the next day, they told me the honest truth that it was a bit too of a complex repair for them to trust that it was stick long term. They suggested for the price it would cost to make it perfect, given the year of the board (2017), I'd be better off getting a new board and pocketing the difference. I appreciated how up front they were and headed their advice! I'll be running the board through it's final paces this season and getting a new one come spring. Even beyond repairs, this shop has it all. From kayaks to climbing gear, skis to paddle boards, they've got everything you need to enjoy the outdoors for all four seasons.

Paula was incredible! So patient, clear, supportive and warm. She was the perfect instructor and we learned so much from her knowledge and approach. Speaking of warm, it was FREEZING when we went, snow on the ground, the whole 9. No problem for us because Orvis lights fire pits in winter right by your individual shooting sites! The clay shooting itself is very fun and challenging. Our instructor Paula gave us great tips on hitting the target, gun safety and usage. She was an outstanding teacher! We absolutely loved this entire experience and plan to go back once per season.

I still have the great Woolrich jacket (red plaid) I purchased here over a decade ago and have worn constantly--and last weekend, I got a cool hat to match it. In a time of cookie-cutter everything, I highly recommend stopping into Chauncey Stewart and picking up a few things. The folks here are very friendly and helpful; I know you'll enjoy your visit.
