Awesome place to get snow gear & equipment. They have an overwhelming large selection of just about everything you could want for the snow. I ended up buying a stomp pad for my snowboard. The workers were very very friendly, one of them gave me good advice and answered all my questions regarding snowboarding. read more

I already loved this shop, but Simo made the experience even better. He really knows his stuff and his customer service is A+. He went above and beyond to help us out, couldn't have asked for a better experience! Great hire. read more

They always have more than I need! Take my credit card away please. Hard to hold back on all the latest and greatest gear from snow gloves to boards of all type (snow, skate surf). Gifts and toys for all types. The staff always walks right up and asks what i need and walks me over to the products. Very happy every time I come here. I dropped off my board and will get it back in 2 days for a hot wax so that's a plus. read more

Whoever is doing the hiring at this place deserves an award. The people here were incredibly friendly nice and courteous. So helpful. I was really impressed the first time I went in to get my kids ski binders on correctly. I'll be definitely bringing my snowboard here also. Amazing customer service. read more

My husband is a hard core skier. I am a baby snowboarder. We both will only shop at Evo and could not love them more. Any time we need help, they have answers to everything. They are patient and kind and so friendly. I never feel embarrassed by being the newbie who doesn't know anything. Today, I brought in my snowboard boots that I bought a past season (from them) and Madee spent no less than an hour trouble shooting solutions so that I didn't have to buy new boots this year but would be more comfortable and have good control of my board. Then we talked about boots for my foot type for next season. She is a wizard, she is king. Could not be more grateful! read more

This store is fantastic, offering snowboarding and skiing gear, plus all the clothing you need to make the most of your mountain adventure. I went there to get my snowboard boots and bindings updated, and the customer service was absolutely amazing. I was welcomed right away and shown upstairs to a snowboard expert. She, (Go Longhorns), was a joy to work with and expertly fitted me in boots and bindings, so I could blast down the slopes with ease. Plus, I snagged a great deal! Again, this is a fantastic store with excellent customer service and knowledgeable experts. read more

Visited EVO for the first time, and realized I had missed something special in Portland for a long time. I got a tune up of my skis and bought googles. The ski "tune up" shop was well organized, with easy to understand packages and helpful people. The store has the best brands and highest quality merchandise (all style of Oakley googles, for instance), and the staff seems very experienced. When you walk in the door, someone is there to help you. So if are super experienced or are just learning, I'd highly recommend evo. read more

evo Portland - Inside the store. Well laid out. Beautiful design. - Outdoor Gear Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I'm beyond impressed with evo Portland! I'd not even heard of them until the day before I visited. A manufacturer website contained a link to evo to "shop for this item", and I was extremely happy to find that they had a retail location in Portland! To summarize, the customer service is unanimously top-notch! The level of knowledge, courtesy, friendliness, professionalism, and TRUE focus on the customer experience is absolutely outstanding! There is a private parking lot, lots of great signage directing customers to the front entrance (the store is HUGE), selection is gargantuan, and the store is bright, open, and inviting. If you need any ski gear, sports equipment or apparel, etc. evo will cover all of your needs! I was in the market for a decent raincoat, but didn't know what size I needed. evo's web page indicated "one or two left" at the Portland store, with a high probability of selling out, and listed a toll-free number to call to check stock. They were closed when I called, so I called back the next day. After a 30-mintue hold (the only real downside), the customer service rep confirmed that the Portland store had one of each size I wanted to try in-stock, and offered to transfer me to the Portland store to have them hold them for me. The Portland store picked up right away, and very courteously advised that they could hold them for 24 hours for me, took my name, and held them. Upon arrival, there is a person stationed at the front door to greet customers, and offer help (very cool!). This super friendly and helpful employee there was the one who took my phone call. He radioed ahead to have an employee fetch my held jackets, and directed me to the register to meet the employee and my jackets. The cashier was extremely friendly, and asked what he could do to help. I told him I had two jackets held for me. He asked my name, and fetched the jackets right away (seriously, it took less than 30 seconds). When the same cashier rang up my purchase, the item rang up at a much lower price than tagged, which matched the web site price. Immediately after he rang it, he said to another worker, "This is marked this (showed tag), but it rang up this (pointed to screen). Do we still give him the extra 20% off?" The other employee smiled brightly and immediately said, "Sure!", so I got the item at a unbelievably low price to boot! evo is one of the handful of places I've ever been that has an almost overwhelmingly sense of "We're here for the customer", and without exception, every employee completely exemplifies that. I cannot recommend evo highly enough! read more

Evo is the best one stop board and bike shop in PDX. The selection around the store is curated to perfection - only the best and most well-respected brands. Love that they serve beer so you can sip and shop and you can immediately tell that everyone who works here are avid riders - with zero "too cool for school" vibes. I went to EVO to get an entirely new snowboard setup (my last one was 15+ years old) and I couldn't be happier with the experience or the gear I got. I went in on a Monday to avoid the weekend crowds and connected with Brandon - who worked with me for 2 hours to get everything dialed in. He's a great snowboarder who knows the sport inside and out. He was able to assess exactly what I needed and helped pick out the right board, boot and bindings based on my riding style and ability. I can't wait to hit the mountain with all new everything. read more

I felt very discriminated walking in. I was asking on prices on waxing my board and right away he went to look at prices and came back with the free option or $25 option but he knew exactly what I was asking. Very racist store. He had to go back a second time to find real prices because he was discriminating me the first time and thought I wouldn't be able to pay the $95 to wax my board. Will never come back. read more

The staff at Evo is incredibly knowledgeable unbelievably helpful and easy to work with. Ozzy helped me fit my boots and now they feel like a million bucks. read more

We recently picked up two e-bikes at evo Portland with a variety of accessories that needed to be ordered and/or mounted. Andy, the store manager, helped us beforehand despite a very busy Thanksgiving weekend schedule, and Stan took over when we arrived, mounting mirrors and setting up panniers. He found a video on-line to help us with removing the battery and adjusting the seats--all done with a tremendous smile and a generous donation of time despite the cyber-Monday rush. Thanks so much to the staff! We will definitely be back. read more

Went here for some snowboarding gear: all the warm clothing for underneath, gortex material for over the top, snow shoes, gloves... I needed pretty much everything! The staff was awesome explaining the benefits of each item, comparing prices to best accommodate my budget while still keeping the quality I needed. They were quick to switch out sizes and offer alternative options when things didn't fit well. I was really thankful for that and for their patience! The store has its own parking lot which is convenient, and you check in at the door because of covid. The staff take extra precautions to keep the store covid safe, distanced and clean. They all wear masks too. I think the place was so organized and well kept. Id come here for more sports gear in the future for sure! read more

Wow. Shout out to Quinn! Snowboarding is still a learning hobby for me, and I couldn't have learned as much without Quinn's help. He was very friendly and knew exactly what he was talking about from the sizing in boots, to the best beginners, yet fun-riding boards EVO had to offer. I have a list of items that I will be purchasing soon with the comfort of knowing I'm getting the best, and the right gear! Thank you Quinn for all your help! read more

I used the service center to get bindings put on skis that I bought from them. They were able to do it quickly while some other places were quite a wait. However, when I called, I was told it'd be $15. When I got to the store, they said $20. And then I was charged $40! And I had two sets done. I was very disappointed by the more than double misquote. I would have gone somewhere else if they had told me the actual price the first time. Meadowlark will do my next set for $15 and I didn't even buy them from them! Do not waste your money at whose service dept!! *** update: the owner reached out to me and fixed this issue immediately! what a great business owner! read more

First off and most important, Evo has a fantastic service and a knowledgeable sales staff. From the person that greets you at the front door, to Nathan H. who helped us pick out the right boot, board and bindings, to those that also helped get us the right ski pants and jacket, made the whole buying experience for me and for my nephew a breeze. Sure we spent some money here, but with the added knowledge from Nathan, teaching us about the different boards, boots, and etc. I left feeling confident that we purchased the right boarding equipment and that the money was well spent! I even heard they opened up a new Evo store in Salt Lake City UT! Now that's cool. Thinking I'll also do all my own ski shopping here at Evo. They even have a $250 a year membership program that you should look into. Thanks everyone at the Portland store. Much Mahalo's! read more

So I have been shopping at EVO for at least 6 years and bought boards, boots and bindings over this period and I guess never ran into a problem until my 16 year(who weighs 125lbs) old bought a Nitro board from them this summer. He was very excited and loved the board until he took it off a jump up at meadows and the board creased across the nose of the board. EVO does not warranty the product it sells (apparently they sell stuff they do not stand behind) and when their warranty department reached out to Nitro, Nitro didn't stand by their product either... just saying if you are looking for a shop and a brand that will sell you a $450.00 product and not stand by it... REI might be the better place even if it is slightly higher in cost. My son bought the board with is own money and didn't even get more than 5 trips on it... bummed out by their response. read more

I've been in the market for new ski boots for a while now. Joe helped me with my boot fitting - After letting him know what felt right/wrong and a few alterations he was able to find a great match. Very happy with the service!! read more

I came here and already knew what I wanted. I found the board and had a question about my old ass binding from 2007 working with it. I needed a different puck but they were able to help me out for 5 bucks. If you needed to be fitted it seemed like quite the line for that kind of thing. Some guy in front of me was all upset because he got skipped over after they tried calling him multiple times and he didn't answer for his appointment but sounded like that was his own fault. They were being nice to to this guy who was being a turd. read more

evo Portland - Bought this board and used my old 2008 burton cartel bindings. - Outdoor Gear Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Great store and super helpful staff. We stopped here to pick up skis and boots for my husband. They had a great offer for skis + bindings and they were incredibly helpful in helping him find the right boots. They really took their time fitting them for him. Since none of this had been done for me at their Seattle store, they even helped me custom fit my boots for free. After 1,5 years of misery, I'm finally comfortable in my boots. Highly recommend coming here! read more

Beautiful building juxtaposed to the daft staff. Evo should invest in training the bike shop. Why is it so vastly different now than a few years ago? I used to feel confident getting my bike tuned here, but based off my questions to the person intaking my bike, there's no way I'm trusting my money and bike with these people. It's always hit or miss getting assistance in the winter. I made a boot appointment on 3 separate occasions, only to be told the time of my appointment would be pushed back 1 hour, then it was 2 hours. They focus on the upsell, not what is best for the customer. I don't recommend dealing with the tune shop in the winter. There were a couple awesome people that assisted my partner with rentals, but one nasty woman was constantly talking smack about snowboarders, which if they weren't an employee, then maybe it would be funny? I miss what this place used to be. read more

Really nice store! I went to REI looking for snowboarding boots and they only had a couple choices and not much in my size (love REI btw). Knowing that Next Adventure makes you wait in line forever, I thought I'd give evo a shot as I had read you were able to put your name on a 'waitlist' (if you did not make an appointment) and once your number was called you could come back within 15 minutes. This was just a totally different experience. Shoutout to Pat from Michigan. Very knowledgeable and helpful! He measured my foot to get the exact right fit and had me try a few different sizes just to make sure. He was able to help me get the right boot based on my skill level, type of rider I was, and budget. I would love to go back and shop and look around a bit more, but it's a bit hard to do that with covid an all. Highly recommend this store for your snowboard boot needs at minimum. read more

They are scheduling appointments to limit the number of people, nice to see this precaution in place. Took a couple of weeks to get on the schedule which was a bummer but it makes sense. The space has good flow and people are doing respectful distancing. There are plastic shields between customers and staff. Personal service level was great! I didn't know ski boots could be comfortable! Not just ones that don't hurt, but really comfortable. Custom molding was a bit expensive and took some time but now wearing the results, it was worth it. Very happy with the service and my purchase. read more

Walked in looking to do some research on skis, walked out with... skis?! I had a great experience here. Here are the cliff notes: * If you want to be helped with ski shopping, it's best to make an appointment via their website. You are welcome to browse, but they dedicate their sales staff to pre-bookings. Luckily, they were able to pair me with a sales person who just ended an appointment and I was able to get helped. * Said sales person was super knowledgeable and helpful. Out of probably 50+ pairs of skis, she was able to zero in on a few pairs that would be best for me, my skill level, and what I am looking to achieve with my skiing. And, surprise! They weren't the most expensive lines. Trust, earned! * They have a new membership program where you can get points towards discounts. It essentially boils down to 10% back once you spend $200... handy for those big ticket purchases! * I also liked their 30 day price guarantee; if the item you purchased goes on sale within 30 days of purchase, you can call them and get the difference refunded. * Finally, ski mounting is discounted when you buy skis, boots, or bindings from them. The more out of the three you buy, the heavier the discount. Thanks Evo, really excited to shred this winter! read more

Visited the store twice in the last month to pick up our new Specialized e-bikes & purchase some items - we continue over the years to receive excellent professional, friendly service in a store atmosphere that's very relaxed, nicely decorated, with quality merchandise & good value!

Great customer experience from start to finish! Emily in the rental shop was super knowledgeable and friendly. Mason, Luke, Mike in boot fitting took great care of us for snowboard and ski boot selection and Eric made the best of keeping us informed of wait time during a very busy day. read more

An update on a previous 5 star review. I took my daughter in to get a snowboard, boots and bindings. The person we worked with was maybe a little less experienced than the other salespeople I'd worked with. In any case, the boots turned out to have been 1/2 a size too big once they stretched out after maybe 20 hours of use. We went back to Evo and they worked with us for, honestly, two or three hours to make it right--first trying to see if the original boots could be altered in some way. In the end, though, nothing worked and they took the boots back; my daughter got the proper size in a different brand that was slightly more expensive. We only paid the difference. The best customer service I've ever experienced--except, maybe, SVS (the loudspeaker company), which I've only dealt with online. This kind of service from a brick and mortar store is as rare as hen's teeth, and it starts at the top: you don't get this kind of consistent service unless it's in the company's culture. I wouldn't think of going anywhere else at this point. read more

Snow way!!! evo Portland is a great source for Burton snowboard repair. I had an issue with my older Burton snowboard.

OMG I hate that I have to keep coming back here as I don't like going inside stores in general but I wanted to give a shout out to Lauren who was extremely helpful when my husband had to pick up his skis and I had to return several items that I'd ordered from their website that didn't work out for me (Seriously, why would anyone ever design a ski jacket without ventilation? You hear me, Obermeyer?!). She was helpful, friendly and made the process so quick for us. Thank you, Lauren. read more

Big shout out to MacKenzie for a great boot fitting. I'm still new to skiing, and needed a fresh pair of boots to replace my current setup. The appointment was efficient but also very informative to help me learn more about ski boots. I appreciated that she not only took the time to explain various features to find the right fitting, I also noticed she was helping out her fellow boot fitters to teach them a thing or two. Great experience and very happy with my new boots! read more

I bought skis and boots online and they were shipped right away. At the store when I tried them we quickly realized that the boots did not fit at all. I was able to switch them for the perfect pair and now my ski's are getting all set up. LOVE EVO read more

I can't say enough good things about evo Portland! I haven't bought new snowboard gear in so long, that the places I used to frequent have since closed. So, I found evo online and went in there on a whim when I needed new snowboard boots. I had no idea how expansive and how awesome the store was! I didn't have an appointment, but they were able to fit me in and give me all of the attention as if I had an appointment. The sales staff are super helpful and friendly, and I found a great pair of boots pretty quickly based on my feet. They have a huge selection and inventory, too. I'm so glad that I've discovered evo- it's is hands down my new gear destination! read more

Evo is the industry standard ski retailer both on/offline. You can research gear online and find great sales and unbeatable selection. The Portland store further elevates the experience because you can make easy returns, talk to sales experts and see/fit gear in person. Lots to like here!! read more

Trevor is awesome! Last year I bought some new ski boots that I really like, but found mid season that I had a couple of hot spots. Trevor helped me by adjusting the liner and punching out one spot. I was stunned that the service was free! (I bought both the boots and the custom orthotics here in the same store...) Couldn't thank Trevor and Evo enough! read more

From the moment we arrived to the second we left, Brandon was an excellent help. He outfitted me and my daughter for a full set up and ensured that we got what we were looking for. Not only were we fitted and geared properly, but we enjoyed the time at the mountain more than we ever have yet. My daughter is pretty fickle and he was able to educate her enough to choose the correct gear and excel in her snowboarding more than the last few years. We would highly recommend seeking any help here because these folks know what they're doing, and looking out for your best interest, not just a sale. read more
