I thought the displays were bold and neatly organized. Staff was welcoming and friendly. We were clearly just browsing as locals who might only buy gifts here. I think she said the store had been open for 6 years but in the last few years u had very few options to browse thus far east on Pearl. Now that more art and collectible shops were gathering on the east end, I suspect they will have many more customers in the summer. And the selection was very extensive and many clothing items in trend colors. On the Hill you would find only CU black gold and white robes. I ones the earth tones, and blues and pinks here a lot as Colorado and Boulder itself are well represented.

As soon as I walked in the store I knew I would want to buy everything in every cut, and every color. Everything I tried on fit amazing and felt amazing, although I know I'm going to want to hand wash everything so that might not be super awesome but, all of the clothes are really well-made and the fabric is just so soft. All of the clothing I picked fit me great and then when I went to the counter to check out the woman gave me discounts on everything because I was buying so much. I still spent well over $200 on clothes but I think that the fabric is going to be really great and I'm going to want to wear the clothing all the time. I didn't buy one, but they have a really really really great selection of utility belts leather and otherwise. Utility belts look really cute and they're really well priced. Overall some of the clothes are a tad bit expensive, but everything is really freely and soft and pretty and all the colors go really really well together so you can mix-and-match almost everything in the store. It's also really cool that they sell individual people's goods and local artists crafts. I will be back here many many many times in the future.

I know a lot of Gen Z kids have become a bit of a joke for having a lack of customer service/social skills, but one of the young gals working here (last year) was so aloof, rude and unprofessional that I just started giggling bc she was scowling like a bratty teenager when I asked if I could look at a piece of jewelry under a locked case. I loved the necklace, so I bought it. But dang, please train your young staff to act professional instead of pouting bc work is no fun lol.

I once said I would follow Steve Weaver to hell and have a good time. For what it's worth, he and his excellent staff book trips only to paradise, so hell will have to wait. This shop is simply fantastic. They have everything you need for decking yourself out in top-flight dive gear, from the basic I-just-want-to-get-into-the-water-and-be-comfortable-stuff-on-my-first-dive-trip to the latest, greatest heads-up display mask/high-tech camera gear/BC that gives you a back massage for professionals. Whether you are a newbie or an old salt with thousands of dives, Weaver's can help you with engaging, fun courses and continuing ed. Their instructors are patient, knowledgeable and exceedingly competent, and they take away the mystery and apprehension to show you how fun diving can be. And then, when it's time to travel, latch on with one of their fantastic group trips or just have them book a trip for you personally. They hunt the best resorts for the best deals, and they know where to stay, where to dive and where to hang out, since they have been anywhere you want to go. Except hell. read more

These are separate businesses and Ocean First has its main location and pool in North Boulder. They maintain a retail shop here. My husband still dives and has always and will always make his travel arrangements through Dream Weaver. They are excellent and can book travel for more than organized dives. They have always found the blend of convenient connections and cost, no matter how far across the globe you need to go. Jane and her staff are easy to work with and we have always felt that we were not over paying for anything. We stopped in yesterday to just check what we thought was an anomaly on my husband's ticket for his next trip. It was merely a "place holder" for their log-in system to easily check on a ticket if necessary. Always a clear, straightforward answer from Jane, Lisa and staff. It was fun to see them in person this time as we often do most of the work by phone. But we were in the shopping center anyway, having just left King Soopers, and my husband needed some more reef safe sunblock for the next trip. He was able to buy it from the Ocean First side of the store. If you need dive and travel assistance in obtaining tickets for worldwide dive options , this is the place to get them.

After we'd paid. We spent the next 2.5 hours in the deep end of a 78 degree pool. It was like army basic training. And when I said I hadn't signed up to take all my gear off and put it back on while treading water he said I was whining. Go to Oceans First, much better.

(This is an experience with one of the staff at RMA, thank you Mason)…read more I Highly recommend RMA!! I took my 12 year old fly fishing for his first time and saw a guy catching fish down the shore from us, I told my son to go ask him what he was using but he was too shy. So I went and asked him and told him it was my son's first time and he beamed up with excitement "oh I'm gonna hook him up!" He grabbed his tackle and walked over to my son, showed him a bunch of flys and started tying them on his line. Throughout the entire process he explained every little detail!! From the fly's, to the cast, to the water current, what to look for, and about 3-5 casts in my son had bites. He taught him how to set a hook and boom, FISH ON! My son was so pumped to catch his first fish on a fly rod. He soaked up all the info he was given and was able to catch fish on his own. Mason from RMA, I can't thank you enough for hooking up my son and getting us on fish. BTW Mason was also teaching his mom and she caught her first fish too. He took the time out of his day to help out a 12 year old and by doing so he created a new angler. Well done Mason and RMA, thank you! Naturally after my son started catching fish he said "We have to go check out their shop" and of course we did. Had to stock up on flys and check out all of their gear there.

Even though I know my sizes, different styles can be a borderline choice. This is true for many brands and why I am not a fan of online shopping in general. Through all the seasons I have found something new to spruce up my closet. I have been more than satisfied with every choice. Because I am so short, most pants needed shortening which I do myself. It's a chore I have Ben faced with my whole life and I am resigned that most mainstream casual and mountain wear do not "do" petites. My choice for petites does not style this way and for dressier clothes that's where I go. But for the right category this is the best, in quality of fabric , casual style and updated performance. Gone are the days of dry cleaners for my closet. The staff here is exceptional. If they do not have your choice of size or color in stock , you can have it ordered and delivered without a shipping charge. I really appreciate brands that will do this. This store also has in person events a few times a year when additional staff from headquarters in Salt Lake City come in to show off the new season. Food and drink and sometimes music or an athletic non profit are available. It's a chance to learn more about the products. There are even giveaways. What better ways to bond with the customers ! I love my new sweater I purchased today and am waiting for another color in my favorite fall and winter corduroy pant to arrive. All around, a good shopping experience. I don't buy a lot but each piece has been successful.
