Love Cabela's for many reasons. First, I always find something good when I'm here. They often have…read moreincredible sales. Sometimes I just wander around the store to see what's interesting. Items are arranged quite well and each area of the store brings little surprises. The camping area is fun for people who like to cook and barbecue - neat gadgets too. Wander around and you'll find that they even supply hiking poles and other outdoor gear. Often times, it does take some looking and some "trying on" when shopping for clothes. This is where Cabela's could do better. However, clothing items are priced well and have lasted many years. Sizing is not always consistent and there are only two fitting rooms in women's/men's departments. often you'll find yourself waiting just to try on items. Also, fitting rooms need to be cleaner with better lighting and 3-way mirrors. All that aside, Cabela's can be quite a joy.

I read that review about those "Darn Tough" socks and since I've slowly been collecting warm socks…read morefrom outdoor stores this winter as a 'hobby', I decided to visit Aurora Outfitters at last!! I've been itching to check out this store, and I'm really not sure why I never ventured in here sooner. Maybe it just wasn't the right time. This past year my urge to hike has kicked into overdrive and lately I've been all about outdoor activities - so going in here not only cured some boredom, but got me excited for the warmer months and getting back out on the trails. The shop shares a building with another business. Once you go up the steps and into the building, the shop is straight back (and pretty hard to miss with the signs!) This shop is pretty large, with everything and anything to fill your outdoor needs. Tons of apparel with popular outdoor brands like Carhartt, hiking boots, and other useful gear for camping and hiking. You can get snow shoes and chains here for your winter hikes, and there's even some gear for your dog! I only came in here for the socks but I also left with these cool fake "skipping stone" dog toys, and a double sided spoon/fork. Total score! Looking forward to returning in the summer to fulfill more of my hiking needs. P.S. I love my socks. They're stylish and keep my feet warm!

But most of all, thank you, present me for having the courage to admit I was wrong and seek amends. (And an honorable mention also to Hannah K. for reminding me just how much of an oaf I really am)

I regret to say I had a bad experience with Niagara Quartermaster. I hope this is an isolated…read moreincident, but I am not sure. I hate to write a bad review of any business, but the staff demonstrated a fundamental lack of care in my opinion. I am not from the Niagara region. A friend recommended NQ to me, and so I used their Airsoft part ordering service. This process took a couple months, with an extreme lack of communication. My friend would frequently contact the staff, and they would consistently not be aware of the status of our products. Apparently their parts "person" would not be in, and they would not maintain consistent contact with him. NQ would never give an ETA, citing problems at the border with the United States. When the products finally did arrive, we made the hour or so trip into St. Catherine's. Little did we know that the parts were not even ordered for one of my friend's guns. I handed over mine (CYMA M14 and KJW M9) to be fitted with a new barrel and hop up, and my friend gave his Desert Eagle to their gun technician. They then proceeded to tell me (after a week or so) that the hop up replacement was not necessary and that the barrel did not fit. They did not have access to my guns. I get that. But if they did not know something, they should have asked. I still got charged $25 for labour and my friend's gun was worse off than it came in. In terms of selection, NQ is not bad. However, DMZ does get a G&G shipment each month. I would place an order with them and get guns with them instead. I understand certain things take time, but I was never informed of the delay and was never questioned if parts would fit. They still charged me $25 and told me "this stuff happens". A fundamental lack of customer service.

First let me say this store should be called Orvis: The Adams. There are like five Adams who have…read moreworked here over the past several years. I know this because this is my husband's toy store and I hear so many stories about Adam Schroder or Adam Slavinski or Adam the big cheese manager. I can't keep them all apart. All I know is one of them just shaved his beard and my husband is distraught. I'm pretty sure my husband is thinking about changing his name to Adam. Before my husband ever started fly fishing, I used to go here with my daughter clothes shopping. They have some really great brands - made in America - excellent customer service. When my husband put down his guitar and picked up his fly rod (only one expensive hobby at a time, please), this became the go-to place for all the things. Fly rods. Reels. Bags. Shirts. Pants. You get the drift. This is where my husband was introduced to and fell in love with Kuhl pants. He also really loves the Orvis-branded hats and shirts and jackets. This year he even has some things on his wish list for the dog. They've got a great selection of dog beds and toys in wonderful quality. And as I said, made in America, which is very important to our family. And then there are the Adams. They are really knowledgeable about the area fishing spots and my husband knows he can rely on them for current information. He just got home from Orvis, as a matter of fact, where one of the Adams told him Oatka and the Niagara River are looking pretty good right now. Tip: They teach free fly tying and fly fishing classes as well. If you're at all interested in learning how to fly fish, this is hands-down the best place in the area to learn. Ask for Adam.

We borrowed poles and were able to head outside to learn how to Fly Fish. We even got to attempt (and I got one!) using Velcro flies and Velcro fish out on the lawn. It was super silly and fun. The store is neat, clean, and organized. You can get clothing, Shoes, Pet Supplies, and all imaginable gear (and there's a TON) for this sport. Prices range from $100 - $1,500 depending on the level of deep dive you plan to make into the world of Fly Fishing. We are signed up for Fly Fishing 201 in a week and I will report back!

Totally disappointing tent and customer service experience! Stay well away!…read more The truck-tent arrived a day before our camping trip (that's our bad, we should have ordered in more time), and the packaging was already damaged on the outside. Boxes on the inside were covered in what appeared to be a child's crayon scribbles, giving clear indication that we had paid almost $400 for a previously returned product rather than something new as advertised. Once we drove 8 hours away to our camp site and opened up the contents of the boxes, several tent poles were rusty and one of the poles actually showed signs it was about to split. The damaged pole would not fit into the designated holes, probably the reason for the previous return. Assembly was very frustrating due to this, and the pole eventually snapped in half. We had to just make do with the tent half assembled! To make matters worse, that night it rained and the tent leaked, allowing water into the space behind our heads. So much for it being "waterproof"! The final insult was customer service. After receiving what was clearly a defective product, we were told that they would not accept a return as the box had been opened. How exactly is a customer supposed to discover rusty, broke, ill-fitting poles and a leaking tent without opening the box and attempting to use the tent? This policy is less like customer service and more like a way to avoid responsibility for defective merchandise. I even tried to take the matter up with the BBB, and the response from Napier Outdoors was just that it was policy. No apology, no attempt to make things right - even with photos for evidence! Between damaged packaging, poor-quality materials, leaking tent and unhelpful customer service, this has been one of the worst product purchases I've made. Save yourself the frustration, and terrible camping experience, and spend your money elsewhere!
