05/17/26 - I love the merchandise @ North Face but I'm not crazy about the prices. They have some…read moregreat merchandise but I find their merchandise to be a little on the pricy side. I'm going to South America later this year so I'm trying to find an inexpensive light weight waterproof jacket or poncho. They have a number of jackets that are waterproof & windproof but I find spending anywhere from $160 - $300 for a single use jacket excessive. I'm thinking maybe a poncho that can roll up into a tiny pouch & be attached to a carabiner might be a good idea & far less expensive. This would also save luggage space?

In a few months I will be running an out of state half marathon in the Mojave desert and was asking…read moremy FB running community if they had any suggestions for running gear to prepare for the elements. I got a number of responses and a lot of them were things I didn't even think I would need but found extremely useful. I haven't done a half marathon in almost 10 years and I forgot how important it was to properly fuel myself for endurance runs. These days nutrition and electrolyte tabs aren't cutting it for me anymore. I don't want to hit a wall once I start hitting the 8-10 mile marker so energy gels have been helping me push through with ease and REI has plenty of them. They mostly carry the GU brand and HoneyStinger. I've been trying out flavors and found a couple that I like. REI despite their items being on the pricier side have great selection and quality gear. I was able to get everything I needed in prep for race day. I didn't encounter any issues with staff. It felt more like, "We'll leave you alone unless you need something." I'm totally fine with that. It's an upscale comprehensive sporting goods store with a good amount of items in stock. I was actually impressed with the women's shoe selection. They had more HOKAs in stock compared to Road Runner Sports in Wilmette. I know I could've easily gotten HOKAs online but I'm the type (especially when it comes to apparel and shoes) to want to test items out in person for fit. Had I known they had better availability with more colors in stock, I would've bought my shoes here. REI is granola and you'll need to bring your own bag to shop. They are officially bagless and no longer provide single-use shopping bags at checkout. Parking is easy since it's nestled within a strip mall. I was able to get a spot in front with no issues.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed my visit here. My six year old son did as well. The stores was HUGE and clean. We all enjoyed the live fish in large tanks.

I will just start off by saying clothes shopping is a struggle for me. I have little patience but…read morealas, I needed cargo pants & a belt for the range & upcoming classes. Instead of purchasing online, I decided to stop by & I'm very happy I did. The woman assisting me was so helpful! Let's face it, we're all built differently so I appreciated being shown the differences in selection & being encouraged to try them all on. It's great feeling when you find "the pair" - & in my case, I found two! They're so comfortable & hello - pockets! Also grabbed a good belt which says a lot. I don't like belts but again, I found "the one." I managed to show up during a sale so I felt I got a great deal on my purchases & the brand makes quality products. I adore my backpack I purchased online & now my clothing & accessories. I'll definitely be back for more & thanks so much again for an outstanding experience.

I stopped to look at their boots while I was in the neighborhood. They have top notch gear and…read moretheir boots are high quality with triple stitching. I was hoping to find a bargain but ended up paying full price which is unusual for me. I did find a great deal on a pair of tennis shoes though so I now have two sets of new footwear. If they had more clothing in my size I would have stocked up on those, too. Not to mention the great gear they carry. The staff was friendly and helpful and I helped me feel better about leaving so much money behind.

This has quickly become one of my favorite stores--not just for the incredible gear, but for the…read morefriendly, knowledgeable staff. I've been a loyal Arc'teryx fan for decades, working outdoors year-round, but until recently there wasn't a local store nearby. Being able to try things on in person makes a huge difference, especially since sizing can vary depending on layering. The team here is always welcoming, helpful, and patient--happy to offer suggestions and grab different sizes without hesitation. The store itself is a bit "dangerous" (in the best way!) because everything is so well made and tempting for every season. Between their excellent warranty, trade-in program, and annual cleaning events, the value really stands out. If you want high-quality outdoor gear that lasts for years, this is the place to go. Now that there's a local store, I don't shop anywhere else.

I went into this lululemon outlet store thinking that, I would finally be able to figure out what…read moreall the hype was about. What I found was highly priced , very expensive workout clothing. If this is supposed to be an outlet store then I don't know what the prices would be in a regular lululemon store. $49 stretch skort reduced from their normal price of $88? $59 for a pair of camouflage "tights" marked down from $98? $89 for a pair of red leggings that looked like they had been worn and returned? $279 for a pair of cropped twelfth leggings marked down from $398? The quality does look like it's better than your average leggings, however, i have purchased comparable workout wear from dance costume companies for a lot less money and even made in the USA. I still don't get the hype.

However, I found the inventory to be pretty disorganized and confusing, and there weren't a lot of items in my size. What there was was scattered about the store and hidden between different-sized things. This is probably not entirely due to the management and more about how there were a bunch of people looking at things and putting some back.
