I am an online customer, and though I never met these folks face to face, I probably had my best…read morecustomer service experience in years. An axe I ordered was delayed, to no fault of these guys; but instead of just sending a form email with new expected delivery dates they contacted me and offered several options on how I may have liked to move forward. I missed the first email (junk mail bin), but they also left a voicemail looking to get in touch over my order. I emailed them back and they sent along some sharpening oil, etc with my order when it did arrive. I've gotta say, this is not what I expected as an online, faceless customer. But besides being delighted over my new axe, I'm happy that they valued my business enough to personally reach out and make sure that the resolution over the shipping delays was tailored to me. Nice work Canadian Outdoor Equipment, I'll be sending you all my future business and recommending you to my friends and family. Thanks!

A few Sundays ago, I was in the Spadina-Queen Street West area. I walked by this MEC on my way to…read morean eatery for lunch. Walking back to my car after lunch, I decided to stop by this store and check it out. I like MEC. On the first floor, freeze-dried food was in front of me. Pad thai sounded great. I then saw electrolyte tablets and waffles. If you are looking for a water bottle, there are lots to choose from. From Hydro Flask, to MEC's own line, you can find something that will suit your hydration needs. I saw lots of camping items. Tents. Cookware. LED lanterns. This store has everything imaginable. The downside is that I didn't see any sales items. I find it expensive to shop here, especially post-co-op memberships. There are two floors to this store. You can take the stairs or find the elevator. I didn't buy anything. However, it was nice to browse. (433)

Don't buy Arc'teryx!…read more I own several Arc'teryx jackets, and almost all of them have shown the same failure: the waterproof zippers delaminated and the seam tapes started peeling off, despite extremely light use. These jackets were stored clean in a closet for most of their life, with no visible wear or damage anywhere else. The only failures were in the zippers and seam tapes, which clearly points to structural integrity issues and premature material breakdown, not misuse. When I contacted Arc'teryx Warranty, the response was extremely disappointing. They suggested the jackets needed washing every 5-20 days of use -- which makes no sense given how little they were worn -- and then offered only 20% of the original MSRP if I returned the jackets. I asked for proper repairs (even at a reasonable cost), but they refused. For a brand that markets itself as "premium" and charges premium prices, the durability is shockingly poor, and the warranty support does not match the reputation. I own Gore‑Tex jackets and non Gore-Tex jackets from The North Face, Patagonia, Marmot, and MEC that are older and still look new. None have seam tape or zipper failures. I'll be sharing this experience on consumer platforms to help others make informed decisions. At this price point, customers deserve better materials, better construction, and far better warranty support.

I've been twice this summer - early June in the evening and mid July for 9 AM kayaking. I enjoyed the early morning peace and tranquillity. We were guided by a long line of geese and also saw two egrets along the way. Very peaceful and they make it so easy as they drag the kayaks down to the launch beach. Getting in and especially out of the kayak is challenging. It would be great to have a pole or chair to grab onto to pull yourself up and out. But otherwise, a fabulous not expensive trip away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Take this review with a grain of salt-- it's strictly relative to all the other baitshops we've…read morebeen to. That said, the store is objectively quite good. The people who work there are nice (which is surprisingly unusual for a baitshop in Ontario), the prices are good (ditto; its a great spot to stockup on extra tackle and such en-route to your fishing spot), and the minnows are quite vigorous. In our experience driving across Ontario, you usually get to pick one of those things. No other shop we've seen has managed to hit all three. We've gotten fairly resigned to a sizable percentage (sometimes half) of the minnows dying before we get a chance to use them, but that just isn't the problem here. Every single unused minnow we bought is still alive and well in my cooler over a day later, and aside from a few that seem to have died from oxygen deprivation while we were changing fishing spots, we didn't lose any en-route. The only cons are: the place is a little bit hard to find (it's behind the Husky, and in a little corner unit that's a bit hard to spot), and occasionally their hours change a bit. So you may want to call in to be sure they're open at times. Still, the location is handy if you're going up North from the GTA to fish, and they're near Bass Pro (their reputation is good enough that the fellows at Bass Pro were the ones that originally directed us here), so its a great one-stop spot to replenish equipment as well as bait and tackle.
