I read that review about those "Darn Tough" socks and since I've slowly been collecting warm socks…read morefrom outdoor stores this winter as a 'hobby', I decided to visit Aurora Outfitters at last!! I've been itching to check out this store, and I'm really not sure why I never ventured in here sooner. Maybe it just wasn't the right time. This past year my urge to hike has kicked into overdrive and lately I've been all about outdoor activities - so going in here not only cured some boredom, but got me excited for the warmer months and getting back out on the trails. The shop shares a building with another business. Once you go up the steps and into the building, the shop is straight back (and pretty hard to miss with the signs!) This shop is pretty large, with everything and anything to fill your outdoor needs. Tons of apparel with popular outdoor brands like Carhartt, hiking boots, and other useful gear for camping and hiking. You can get snow shoes and chains here for your winter hikes, and there's even some gear for your dog! I only came in here for the socks but I also left with these cool fake "skipping stone" dog toys, and a double sided spoon/fork. Total score! Looking forward to returning in the summer to fulfill more of my hiking needs. P.S. I love my socks. They're stylish and keep my feet warm!

I read a Review of the Day from Hannah K. about "Darn Tough" socks, and it reminded me about those…read moresocks I bought from Aurora Outfitters so long ago. I must have written that review way before I gave myself enough time to decide if I liked the socks or not, but here I am 4 years later and I now EXCLUSIVELY WEAR DARN TOUGH SOCKS. Thank you, Aurora Outfitters, for turning me onto these wonderful socks. Also thank you, past tense me for clairvoyantly deciding to purchase said socks and change my life forever. But most of all, thank you, present me for having the courage to admit I was wrong and seek amends. (And an honorable mention also to Hannah K. for reminding me just how much of an oaf I really am)

Love Cabela's for many reasons. First, I always find something good when I'm here. They often have…read moreincredible sales. Sometimes I just wander around the store to see what's interesting. Items are arranged quite well and each area of the store brings little surprises. The camping area is fun for people who like to cook and barbecue - neat gadgets too. Wander around and you'll find that they even supply hiking poles and other outdoor gear. Often times, it does take some looking and some "trying on" when shopping for clothes. This is where Cabela's could do better. However, clothing items are priced well and have lasted many years. Sizing is not always consistent and there are only two fitting rooms in women's/men's departments. often you'll find yourself waiting just to try on items. Also, fitting rooms need to be cleaner with better lighting and 3-way mirrors. All that aside, Cabela's can be quite a joy.

Totally disappointing tent and customer service experience! Stay well away!…read more The truck-tent arrived a day before our camping trip (that's our bad, we should have ordered in more time), and the packaging was already damaged on the outside. Boxes on the inside were covered in what appeared to be a child's crayon scribbles, giving clear indication that we had paid almost $400 for a previously returned product rather than something new as advertised. Once we drove 8 hours away to our camp site and opened up the contents of the boxes, several tent poles were rusty and one of the poles actually showed signs it was about to split. The damaged pole would not fit into the designated holes, probably the reason for the previous return. Assembly was very frustrating due to this, and the pole eventually snapped in half. We had to just make do with the tent half assembled! To make matters worse, that night it rained and the tent leaked, allowing water into the space behind our heads. So much for it being "waterproof"! The final insult was customer service. After receiving what was clearly a defective product, we were told that they would not accept a return as the box had been opened. How exactly is a customer supposed to discover rusty, broke, ill-fitting poles and a leaking tent without opening the box and attempting to use the tent? This policy is less like customer service and more like a way to avoid responsibility for defective merchandise. I even tried to take the matter up with the BBB, and the response from Napier Outdoors was just that it was policy. No apology, no attempt to make things right - even with photos for evidence! Between damaged packaging, poor-quality materials, leaking tent and unhelpful customer service, this has been one of the worst product purchases I've made. Save yourself the frustration, and terrible camping experience, and spend your money elsewhere!
