Have been driving by this place since they opened, but this my first visit. Just looked at the clothes, which they have tons of, mostly used, but a wide range, some fine brand names, and most reasonable prices. Got a purple silk long sleeve for just 10 bucks. Folks working there super friendly and knowledgeable. Getting some great businesses on foster, just visited kitchen culture (!!) & several fine drinking and eating spots, around holgate and below. Portland can still prosper! read more

If you are looking for any type of outdoor gear this is the place to go. They have a great selection of men and women apparel of well known brands with pretty good prices. They also have camping with sleeping bands hanging so you can see what they look like and feel and also outdoor gear. Fosters has an upstairs with used product that is discounted but in great shape. read more

Great employees that are always super helpful. Great prices and quality of used gear. Staff goes above and beyond to help out. My favorite place to get outdoor clothing in Portland read more

Fosters is the #1 new/used gear supply in town. Smaller than most but every time I go they've had exactly what I want/need. Top quality, great prices, and seasoned staff. I was house hunting today and they set the tent up for me right there in the store to check fit (I'm a long person). Always an awesome experience. Highly recommend. Thanks guys. read more

This place is so amazing! I feel absolutely so lucky to live close to Foster Outdoor. They have really good gear - new and slightly used! Their staff is always really friendly and helpful. Everytime I go there, but recently I went into the shop (5/22/2023) and I wanted to find a pair of lightweight work pants. I was going to be volunteering to do some trail work, and I wanted to wear long pants for safety pants- but I didn't want to wear jeans because they would be very heavy and uncomfortably warm in the heat of summer. And, I got feedback in helping to find a pair of pants that still have some stretch and flexibility and will help protect me from the trail hazards. And, while I was there, I was able to buy a bottle of "Permethrin" to pre-treat my clothes to help keep the ticks away. It was nice to have one stop shopping, and the pants were such a good price too! I definitely appreciate Foster Outdoor, I have also got a huge bargain on a really nice Smartwool-brand jacket! And, I had good luck consigning some of my own gear, and getting some money for that deal! And, I love the building - the old Phoenix Pharmacy building! It has so much history, and how it is linked with Mr. John Leach-the historic grounds slightly more east "Leach Botanical Garden" and it is even linked further to Southern Oregon and the Kalmiopsis Wilderness- the "Leach Memorial Loop" retaliated to Lila and John Leach. They used to travel in Southern Oregon and ride around on their mules- and I think Ms. Lila Leach discovered some species of flowers down there. It is interesting and the Phoenix-Pharmacy building is just plain cool, that is the point of the story! read more

I don't know what else to say except that this place has really come through for my family multiple times. Today though, was a "snow day" and lots of local businesses shut down because it's Portland. But they were open and it was chill. We went in and were able to get some much needed snow boots for our kiddo who unexpectedly skipped a size in winter gear. They service was great. They carry good quality stuff. Sure, some of the boots might need a rinse because it's time consuming to have to do that, but the value you get for what you pay is totally fair and reasonable. Very glad to have them nearby! read more

A terrific addition to the development of Foster as a destination. The store doesn't look all very large as you enter, but there is a second room that expands the space (and the inventory) significantly. Service was friendly, and I was surprised to see how many options there were for something I've always considered to be a niche product (snowshoes). Both their new items and the variety of consignment goods were impressive. Service was friendly and knowledgeable, just what you would hope for in a neighborhood business. read more

Love this place and now in a new location makes it even better! I depend on Foster Outdoor for their great selection of consignment outdoor clothing. I believe there's enough stuff in the world and I prefer to buy 2nd hand, so this is a good place to find quality items in great shape at good prices! I live on the Oregon Coast now, but if I'm in PDX I always take the opportunity to stop in if I need something and the friendly folks there help me find it! I'll be warm and cozy this winter after shopping today! read more

Really happy to have an outdoor store in the neighborhood. Already have traded in some old gear and gotten some pretty good deals. Love the used gear room and hoping to be able to make it in there whenever I need something like that. Glad that it's owned by neighbors here in the 'hood as well! read more

Amazing family-owned business in FoPo. Always friendly, HIDDEN GEM of outdoor consignment items for the whole family, and I always find something new here. There is a small play area for littles and fun seasonal items that make it a bit easier to get the kids outside, even if it just gives you new ideas. Check this out before you head to the chain stores, you will likely find what you need and receive top notch customer service by the owner. read more

Great little store with a nice selection - and half the store given over to a used gear space! Love it! Will definitely be back.

I'd driven by this place several times and finally stopped in. It appears small from outside but I was amazed at the terrific selection. Their new products are top notch. There is quite an excellent selection of used gear mostly priced just right. Owner very knowledgeable and helped us navigate purchases for our recent camping trip. read more

The people there are amazing, truly make you feel like you belong, and the stuff they have is all priced super well. Highly recommend.

Just got back from camping in our new-to-us 3 person tent! I love having another option for used gear in town to find the treasures we need to get outlet family outside! read more
