Bright, clean and modern. There's lots of random items. We didn't have problems finding sizes in items we liked, but there wasn't a wide enough selection of what we come for, outerwear. They have an upstairs. It has its own checkout desk so unsure if they'll let you bring merchandise downstairs. They had people standing around watching for shoplifters, I assume. We had no issues checking out. The employee loved my toddlers jacket that we purchased online and was dundundun...unavailable in their store. I would return if I ran out of time to place an online order, like why we came this visit.

We stopped in because we were both on the hunt for work boots and Carhartt's. Upon entry, an awesome table with fishing paraphernalia, which was great to see since I've been tying flies to get prepped for the season. No fly tying supplies, but plenty of quality gear in the store! The staff was super nice and quick to offer assistance! We were browsing but the moment we were in the footwear section, there was someone there to assist with sizes. Excellent selection of workwear for women, plenty of Carhartt's and Dovetail clothes with sizes from 0-24 that I was able to see. A helpful gentleman mentioned that if my size wasn't on the rack, they'd be happy to check a small supply in the back and also their downtown store. That's was great to know, since I forgot about the downtown location. They have a couple of dressing rooms for trying on items prior to purchase. Although we didn't find boots for my husband, I did pick up some Dovetail work pants and overalls that are not only functional, but attractive too. Everyday clothes men's, women & children...blue collar work clothing, high vis, sportsman wear, boots & shoes and a nice selection of fishing gear to boot! They offer a rewards program, birthday coupons and veteran's discount to boot! Big Ray's is definitely worth a stop!

Michelle showed us an Instagram post from just 9 hours earlier and tipped us off about salmon fishing. She was incredibly knowledgeable and walked us through exactly what to do (I didn't totally follow but my husband did luckily). After already paying $$$$ for a guided fishing tour with no luck, we were honestly both excited and weren't sure if it's something we could do it on our own. But she was absolutely right!! We rented waders, fishing rods, and everything we needed right there, and followed her rod set up instruction and all the boys had an amazing time--ending up catching a large salmon (we could have caught more but we got to the river so late..) ! The rental process was easy and they had all the gear on hand. It was our first Alaskan trip and what could have been a pretty average trip turned into something unforgettable, thanks to Michelle and Dave. It ended up being an adrenaline-filled experience, and we'll definitely be coming back next year. Thank you Michelle and Dave!

She was kind and helpful in a situation where I felt like I could've been judged. She didn't overwhelm me with facts or talk too quickly about specifics I needed to hear...she just listened really well to me. She got me rental skis that were perfect, even though at the time I thought they wouldn't be wide enough, and I ended up buying exactly the pair that she had recommended. As an older and not incredibly knowledgeable skier, I appreciated the way Laura listened and responded to me.

REI Anchorage is in its third location since I started shopping here in the '80s. This one is way large. special shout out to the ski rental shop, and honorable mention to Marcus for taking the time to chat with us about what we needed, where the trails were good - etc. Rented two days for nice cc skiing at Kincaid, equipment was in great condition. ended up buying a pair of boots after great assistance with trying them on (though one does have to make oneself visible - the staffing is a little lean imo). all a way of saying, i am glad REI continues to be a great resource in my hometown. recommend you shop here.

The guys working there were all so kind and helpful as we looked through everything, asked a few questions and my son also tried on a few different boots. While we were there a gal came in looking for winter gear for someone else and while she didn't really know what she was looking for, he mentioned 'our gear is more for sitting still and staying warm' and I thought that was pretty spot on. As avid hunters know, there tends to be a lot of sitting there while looking for game. I interjected to help a girl out and sent her to check out Big Rays after chatting about what she needed.

If you are a fan then there's not a lot I can say that will give you new information, but that's not a bad thing. We needed to grab a jacket for my wife because, even though it was the middle of summer, we have lived in Las Vegas for several years now and AK summer is about the smae as the dead of winter in our new hometown. We were able to find her a jacket in the bargain cave to wear for our week there and probably won't wear much ever again. this made us grateful for the bargain cave price. The employees were very friendly and helpful and the whole asthetic was awesome, as always.
