I don't get the chance to visit many 'mountaineering' shops anymore for one reason... I've got a…read moreton of very high quality gear that has lasted me for many years but when I need something, like a recent pair of SCARPA boots, I visit Bent Gate. For many of us climbers, we used to have similar shops from yesteryear, Holubar, Frostline, Boulder Mountaineer, the 'old school' REI and the vintage Neptune Mountaineering, these shops had high quality gear that lasted the test of time and wear. Nowadays, fashion rather than function seems to be the selection at 'outdoor' shops. Ok... there's Bent Gate that still carries higher quality gear for folks who like to 'get at it'. Sure, you get what you pay for but the stuff does what it's supposed to do albeit at a price point a little higher than average. However, if you ever needed gear that will not fail, buy the better stuff for in the long run, you'll not only come out ahead but it might save your life. Bent Gate is such a company that strives for selling better gear... period!

I was recently going down a slide with my 3 year old, and bent the wire clip on my Para 3 Lightweight (considering it held up ~200 lbs of weight with only a bend is very impressive). After speaking with Craig, I was able to get a replacement clip and a correction on a previous order! Since I live so far away from Golden, CO, I was very excited to pick up some factory seconds online this year. Next year I will definitely have to try out their Mystery Boxes too! They've got such a huge selection, and the value of their products (even before discounts) is excellent. Hope that Spyderco might consider additional Seconds sales and Mystery Boxes throughout the year. From what I see posted online, they might be a little hit or miss at times, but in general people seem to be happy and to get their money's worth,

They even have kitchen/chef knives. They have free water and candy for customers and they give discounts for military and healthcare workers!

I recently rented several items from Slope Threads, including a jacket, pants, and gloves…read more I immediately noticed that several of the items had holes in them. These were not just small tears or imperfections, but rather large and noticeable holes that clearly indicated a lack of quality control on the part of the company which "prioritizes" usable, nice, ski wear. It was clear that the products had not been properly inspected before being shipped out, and I was left feeling frustrated and disappointed with my rental purchase as I only go snowboarding twice a year. To make matters worse, when I reached out to Slope Threads customer service the second I noticed the holes and imperfections, to express my concerns and request a refund or replacement, I was met with a dismissive and unhelpful response. The representative I spoke with seemed more interested in deflecting blame and avoiding responsibility than in addressing the issue and finding a solution such as a partial refund which i would've been happy with. Overall, my experience with Slope Threads was extremely negative, and I cannot recommend this company to anyone looking for a quality ski wear rental. The lack of quality control and poor customer service are unacceptable, and I will be taking my business back to kit lender. It may be more expensive but i'd rather pay the extra 8 dollars a day then wear sweatpants while snowboarding again. Oh and I forgot to add THEY CHARGED FULL PRICE.
