There are several sports stores in the general area, so I'll try to rate Big 5 on its own merits…read moreand why it's different than Sports Authority, Sport Chalet, and Dick's PROS--Cheaper sporting goods than other places. Great place for recreational sporting goods, and an extra plus that it carries rifles. Always have good sales, and register your email with them for more savings. CONS--At this store, it's selection is limited because it just ain't that big. This limits the products you can comparison shop with. Shoes are mostly off-brand, which is fine if you don't care about brand names, but quality is dubious. Not that much hockey stuff. My summary is that Big 5 is the place to go for recreational sporting goods. What I mean is that it's good if you want a softball glove for those few times you play, a bodyboard for the few weekends in summer, or snow pants for that yearly trip to Big Bear. For example, I need a new camping tent. I won't be going to some expensive camping store for a $300 tent....I'll get a cheap one at Big 5 because I only camp 1 or 2 weekends a year. If you play competitively (ex: high school, college, minor leagues, AAU travel teams etc.) stick to Sport Chalet or Dick's, as they have higher end, better quality gear.

I normally don't leave negative reviews, but this experience deserves to be documented, especially…read moreafter the manager told me that writing a review "wouldn't make a difference." I came in to exchange a pair of FootJoy golf shoes I bought here one week ago. I didn't have my receipt on me, so the associate scanned the shoes to look up the "lowest selling price." Their system came back with $19 for shoes I paid $110 for days earlier. When I asked how that number made any sense, no one could explain it. No price history, no verification, no transparency just "that's what the system says." I wasn't asking for anything unreasonable, just a fair exchange based on the actual purchase price. The part that pushed me to write this review was the manager's response. Instead of helping or even acknowledging the issue, he told me that leaving a review "wouldn't make a difference." That's not just dismissive, it's unprofessional. He said he wouldn't even consider making an exception because I had dropped the F-Bomb in reference to their insane store policy and ridiculous lowball valuation. He also demanded that I apologize to the associate for using the F word. For the record, I found my receipt and will be returning the shoes properly. But the principle matters. If their system is generating inaccurate "lowest selling prices," that affects more than just me. I'll be filing formal complaints with the appropriate agencies so this doesn't get brushed aside. I'm sharing this so other customers know what to expect if they try to make an even exchange without a receipt. A $110 purchase shouldn't magically turn into $19 because a system says so and a manager shouldn't act like customer feedback is meaningless.

It was time for a new pair of Brooks. Brooks have been my go to shoes for comfort. Lately I have…read morehad a mean flair up of plantar fasciitis and my old pair of Brook's finally bit the dust last weekend when the mesh developed an obvious hole on the side. Dick's sold the pair I wanted for $164.99 and the official Brook's website charged $165. So they are competitive with their prices. They only have one shoe of each style on display so you grab the shoe you want to try on and either walk up the the small kiosk in the shoe department that has a button on the screen that says "I am ready" or the salesclerks also walk up and ask if you need help. This morning I had a young man ask me if I needed help. I showed him the 3 pairs I was interested in and he went to retrieve them from in the back. He handed me the boxes and left me to try on my shoes. It was nice to not have him hovering over me. I then decided on one pair and went to the cashier to check out. The store was clean and I didn't really look around the store as all dick's are similar in layout. But they did seem to have a lot of running shoes to choose from even some brands I have not heard of.

This flagship Patagonia store, which is located next-door to their corporate headquarters slightly…read moreto the northwest, is done so well and really exudes the same Patagonia style that you see in their products. To give some context you will see Great Pacific Iron Works written across the top of the store, which was Patagonia's first store, opened in 1973 in the former Hobson meat-packing plant, near Chouinard's blacksmith shop, which is another product line and name you'll see often in their clothing. This part of Ventura is extremely sleepy so it's very easy to find a free street spot and there is also some EV charging available as well. The staff here is very friendly and always very attentive so it's one of the best parts about visiting. There are many different rooms inside divided by product type and there is even a tiny little museum area with all sorts of pictures and facts about the former building and Ventura. One of my favorite things about coming here is they tend to have some Ventura specific, or limited run products that you won't see in some of their larger bigger city stores. So you can really find some stuff that would otherwise be hard to find online or out of state. I try to stop here every time I pass through Ventura and would recommend to anyone else to do the same. They have products for men, women, and children, so there really is something for everyone.

I had an extremely disappointing experience today at Patagonia. I came in for what should have been…read morea very simple exchange of an unworn jacket, but the interaction was immediately made uncomfortable by an employee named Maddie. From the start, she was rude, combative, sarcastic, and unnecessarily aggressive throughout the entire process. Instead of simply helping resolve the issue professionally, I was met with attitude, condescending remarks, and an overall hostile demeanor that made the experience far more difficult than it needed to be. As a customer, I expect basic courtesy and professionalism -- especially from a company that prides itself on customer service and brand values. The exchange itself was straightforward, yet Maddie handled it in a way that felt confrontational and unwelcoming from beginning to end. It honestly left a terrible impression of the store and the company overall. After being a customer for nearly 30 years and a brand ambassador for this company, I truly never expected to be treated this way. If this is the type of people Patagonia chooses to employ to represent their brand, I do not believe I will be moving forward with purchasing their products in the future. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience absolutely warranted one.

There are several models to choose from. You just have to leave a deposit. It's nice to be able to play with a paddle for a few games before you purchase one. They also have a small net set up so you can dink around a little and try a paddle out right in the store. The staff here are all experienced, high level players and can help you find the equipment you need. They have just about everything pickleball related product you can imagine, from Dink Masters to automatic ball machines. Outdoor pickleball, indoor pickleball they've got it all. If underwater pickleball was a thing, they'd probably have that gear too. When I came in to buy a paddle the Pro asked me to describe my game so he could steer me towards the right kind of paddle. The question caught me off guard and I started laughing. My game? Omg that's funny. I ain't got no game. I had to explain I'm a total noob. I've only been playing for a year, and only the last six months with any regularity. So I don't even possess the vocabulary to describe the feebleness of my "game." Lol. Of course I'm not the first noob they've dealt here and they knew just how to handle the likes of me. The Pro explained some of the differences in the various paddles, some being designed more for speed, some for power. He guided me to the exact right paddle. I was very happy with my shopping experience at 805 Pickleball Shop. The staff is dedicated to helping you improve your Game, or lack thereof. Highly recommended!
