I was in search of a nice LSU Gameday shirt for my father's birthday, and my boss recommended checking out the line here. Walking in, I was immediately greeted by Maddie, and she pointed me directly to where i needed to go. They have a really great selection of nice performance material and some great button down shirts. There are a lot good pullovers as well. They have LSU logos, Sailor Mikes, Tigers, and Louisianas. Maddie was very helpful and I was happy with my quick check out and getting on my way. While I was there, it was fun to people watch the regulars and watch the interaction they were having with them. It is clear they value their customers. I look forward to going back to grab more gifts for the special men in my life. An added bonus, Dad LOVED the shirt! Thanks, Carriages!

The other night I had got a flat tire on my way home from work and I was able to make it into the Perlis parking lot. I ended up having to leave my car in their parking lot over night but first thing the next morning I called to let them know that I would be there shortly to pick it up. The lady that I spoke to, Rachel, was very friendly and understanding. When my dad and I arrived a few hours later to get my car we were greeted by who I assume was the manager of the store. He offered my dad and I a can of Fix-A-Flat, no charge. A little while later, because my dad and I were out there for quite a while, another man came outside and offered us some bottles of water. I didn't get a chance to look around their store before leaving but I would definitely recommend this store to others based on the employees' personalities alone. If any of the employees read this, thank you again!

I'm in Baton Rouge from the Houston area on business for a couple of days. It's raining and I'm…read morebetween meetings with time on my hands. I've been looking for a roof rack loader for my Pescador Perception so, since Thule and Yakima accessories are pretty much interchangeable, I Google search Thule and Yakima dealers in the area. Two popped up and The Backpacker was one of them. It's a dreary rainy day and lunch time. I managed to find the shop in spite of the lunch traffic on Jefferson Hwy. I parked and walked inside. I was immediately received with a friendly greeting by several of the staff with offers to help me. I told them I was "just looking around" and they left me to myself with me knowing if I needed any help they'd be there. I like that. I wandered around for about 30 minutes and I managed to find a few things. Some I needed and some I didn't know I needed. So, I carried my bounty to the register and was checking out. I asked the young man if they had a THule or Yakima kayak loader. He replied, " We don't have any T-hule loaders or Yakima loaders in stock." I always find it amusing when the folks in the outfitting shops do that. I'm not "Sveedish" so I'll continue to say "THule" LOL. In all seriousness, the shop is very comfortable and friendly. The staff are extremely helpful and not overbearing/pushy. I travel to BR often on business and I'll continue to stop by "The Backpacker" to find things I didn't know I needed. I'm convinced that if they don't have it, you don't really need it. Kudos to The Backpacker and the wonderful staff. - Rain Man "And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul." - John Muir

Prices weren't cheap, but clothing was well sorted and all items were special pieces that packed a punch; nothing boring here.

Bought a couple vintage-reproduction pairs of glasses that I will thoroughly enjoy- quite stylish. A really fun experience.

I was in Austin Texas on business, when I came across the Politics store on 2nd St. It looked…read more"young" and interesting. Something different from what you find in Washington D.C. Metro area. I wanted to purchased something original and authentic to Austin or TX for my fifteen yr. old son. (which most parents might agree, is a hard shop in the first place without a list from them in their writing) The clerk was most helpful, but at the same time deceiving. They must work on commission. He showed me several pieces in the the store and I settled on two T-shirts. What he failed to tell me was that the sale was final. I asked if they were returnable or exchangeable and he said yes, no problem. So I purchased the items. He didn't mention the caveat. You see 1) They have a NO REFUND policy. Only exchanges. 2) You need exchange in person or 3) you have to pay to ship the merchandise back to them. PLUS 4) YOU pay for the shipping of the new items you choose UNLESS you purchase at lease $200.00 or more with them. In my cade, my purchase was $81. and some change. So it is going to cost me shipping TO them, my exchange plus shipping TO me of the new items. This is outlandish! That is literally holing my money hostage. I will never buy from this store again! I will also let anyone and everyone know about this policy they have of keeping your money once they have it. This store is only out for your money, not out to grow clients.
