Absolutely wonderful place! They have some scrubs for all you nurses and hospital personnel out there. Not a wide variety, but the few they have are high quality and look great. They also have tons of jackets and good quality clothing great for outdoors. There are knives, shoes, and fun stickers to put on your water bottles and laptops. I will certainly be back! read more

Moving here from the lower 48 was a shock. I'm so glad I waited to buy my winter clothes because you need very specific clothes to survive up here. I went in to purchase winter boots. My "winter boots" were Uggs and were definitely not sufficient for the extreme cold. A team member helped me select a Baffin boot 3 sizes larger than my typical shoe size. I had no idea they ran so small. You should really try on boots in-person as opposed to online, and Prospectors had the largest selection of boots I've seen at an outdoors store in Fairbanks. I'm happy and my feet shouldn't get frostbite thanks to Prospectors. Go check them out! read more

Huge selection of cold weather gear. Easily found stuff to fit my 8 year old grand daughter (snow boots, snow pants and a couple sweaters). Prices didn't seem high to me, and they had very good brands. Beyond all of that, it's a really nice store, well kept up and cared for. read more

I spent most of the time at the sale racks - each department has one. Helpful staff, huge selection. Loads of sale items. read more

Prospector Outfitters - Dansko Summer shoes on sale. - Shoe Stores Near Me - Fairbanks, Alaska

I was there to buy some clothes to my baby boys and wife. Then one of the clerk name Nick told me that I had a flat tire. It was like negative 30 degree and I don't really know how to change a tire. He told me don't worry and changed the tire for me. While he changing my tire, he taught me how to do it. That was the best customer service I have ever got. Thank you Nick. You deserve a raise. read more

One of the better selections of cold weather apparel in Fairbanks. 3 floors of gear. It can get pricey so look out for sales. Dividend reward program is nice-can't say no to saving money. read more

See all

Great clothing, pretty good selection. Staff is super helpful. I'd go back here for my clothing needs. I bought a pair of Mountain Hardwear pants that I'm very happy with! read more

This place is tops! They are customer first service, great products and friendly service. Always one of my first stops when I have a clothing or outdoor gear need. read more

I know how to put on a jacket, but these kids keep following me telling me their name and trying to help me put on clothes. I've been putting on clothes for 37 years, please let me live my life read more

Being new to Fairbanks I needed help in finding a good store to frequent when the mercury dropped below zero. I was told Prospectors was a great place to go since they had a great selection. But I was warned to pay attention to the price tag. Between the prices which were high for Alaska to the two sales reps who were too busy texting to help me or my wife, it was a bad experience. I have never gone back and have found cheaper places in town that sell brands ike Patagonia and Columbia for ten to fifteen percent cheaper than Prospectors. read more

If you need outdoor clothing, this is a great place to find options. They have plenty to offer & periodically have good sales. The building may look like a plain, big, beige box on the outside but once you walk inside, it's a portal to several floors of merch. General & sales stuff on the main floor, ladies' apparel upstairs, shoes/boots downstairs. I found some great winter hat/mask combos for $10 on my last trip there. I win! read more

very very good customer service. niece was with us and enjoyed a movie while we tried on clothing- with free water. self service jelly beans were a beloved treat at the end. read more

It's the one stop shop for cold weather clothing in the great state of Alaska! They even carry Filson brand clothing which is pretty cool! They have everything and anything you could possibly think of for making your experience in Alaska more enjoyable, clothing-wise that is. :) read more

HUGE selection, much much bigger selection than the location in Valdez. I was able to find a Mountain Hardwear down jacket marked down $80, and some great Sorel boots for under $100. I can't say that their prices are reasonable but I have found it's hard to get a deal in Alaska. If you are looking for quality brand name gear and a really great selection, this might be a place you want to check out. read more

Decent selection. They have a great rewards program and the sales associates are extremely nice.

Terrible. Useless about local trail information. No maps. No books. Guy knew nothing about bear spray. Maybe it's good for hunting, but for outdoor sports: worthless ;( read more

Purchased item online and called them to check what's going on with the item. First call, "we are very busy and we need to check with the manager." I let it go the first time. The second time i called, they make you hold on the phone, wasting your time and cut off your phone afterwards. The THIRD time i called, SHE SAID SHE IS THE MANAGER/OWNER!!!!!!!!!!!!! She was bullshitting the whole time. She said she has no paperwork. She got no information at all for my order. Later she bullshit the item is out of stock. Goodbye Prospector Outfitter. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER CALLED. read more

Great variety. Love the kids section! Employees are nice, but am surprised at the super casual dress code, very sloppy. I didn't know who the customers were and who the employees were. read more

Always very helpful in this store. If you don't want any help go to big rays. The selection is awesome and the casual dress code of the employees makes me feel like I'm dealing with normal people. been going there for 15 years and I'll keep going there. read more

I had poor service in the shoe department while looking for a gift for a friend. The salesman walked past me to help a male customer. I didn't say anything, because I wasn't 100% sure the other customer wasn't there first. The salesman did it again, with a male customer who I know I was there before. The third time he tried to help someone else (another man), I interrupted and told him I was there first. When I asked for slippers in the size I needed, he went to to the back for less than a minute before coming out to tell me they didn't have my friends size. He went off to help the male customer. I went online to order the Ugg slippers from somewhere else. The rude behavior of the salesman has lost the Prospector my business. read more

I went there and saw a burton sweater that I liked. It was just a light casual wear hoodie, not a tech sweater. I looked at the price tag there was a burton price that said 50.00 and then a prospector sticker that said 100.00 there was no one on the sales floor to ask so when I went to check out I asked for a price check because I thought surely they could not be asking double the burton suggested retail. When I asked at the checkout counter the salesperson said that the 50.00 dollars was a suggested price and was supposed to be removed. I won't be going back if you do go I would do your research before you buy. read more
