It sells outdoor apparel and footwear as well as gear for hunting, camping, fishing, and other outdoor recreational activities. My husband and I shopped in this store one time. My husband commented that he should shop here for clothes in the future. We saw some grills, safes, fishing supplies, dog supplies, and more. The prices seemed to be OK. Employees could greet customers more.

First and foremost, they have clean restrooms. As you enter the store, you are greeted by one of their many greeters. No sneaking into the bathroom without someone saying "Hi" to you. They have lots of stuff on display. The aquariums were great to look at with the various fish on display. They had the African safari area. They have lots of fishing and hunting clothes and supplies for sale. They know how to prolong your pit stop. It's a great place to stop at. The only thing they didn't have were West Virginia refrigerator magnets for crazy road trip tourists like me. After leaving, I found a Kohl's around the corner. Cabela's is much better than Kohl's anytime!

Not only is it a shopping experience, but a museum as well. Several rooms with animals on display, and the wonderful fish tank. Friendly staff, not too busy either.

I read that this store also has a climbing wall, batting cage, field, and other interactive spaces that can be rented. Please see the store's website for a list of events. In the past several months, I have shopped for women's clothing here, and my husband has shopped for men's sneakers and t-shirts. I saw name brands such as CALIA, Nike, Under Armour, and Patagonia. I am very upper-middle-class, and I thought that many of the prices were high, such as $60 for a basic t-shirt. We bought socks, sneakers, and a t-shirt, which had high prices but are a very good quality. The cashiers promptly rang up our purchases and thanked us.

Well worth the cost to get a unique view of the city while also having a unique experience along the way!

I love REI. I tread lightly with purchases, though, cuz everything is so pricey. I didn't say it…read morewasn't worth it, but still, pricey. Today was just some small items - blister kit and energy chews. When I need hiking boots, THIS is where I come. When I need serious hiking equipment, THIS is my go-to. They will help fit you with the right shoes and backpacks, for certain. So, today, REI was my end goal walking the GAP trail from Homestead Waterfront to here in the Southside. Shopped here, ate sushi lunch nearby at Kura. Now, ready to trek back in hiking boots bought here, of course.

They carry something for the whole family, even the dogs! Highly recommend stopping in before your next adventure or just to browse around. They have many weekly and monthly events for the community. A fire pit out front that makes a great hangout spot to eat and grab a bottle from next door. They host film fests and special annual events like a chili cook off, 5 points adventure film fest, a gear swap and so much more!

If you're resolving to get outdoors more, you should definitely plan on making a trip to 3 Rivers…read moreOutdoor Company. They sell both new and used outdoor equipment, as well as maintain a calendar of various community events that people can and should take advantage of. On their website the group talks about being particularly focused on helping Pittsburgh climbers, hikers, bikers, runners, campers, paddlers, and "outdoor adventure lovers." Obviously that last bit is pretty general, but I find the statement helpful overall since it does a great job of summarizing what kinds of gear you'll find at their shop. No matter your experience level, you're welcome here, as the staff want to help people of all experience levels explore and access different outdoor activities. In other words: this is the perfect place to browse and ask questions that can help you best prepare for your next/new adventure. In addition to operating a storefront, the 3 Rivers staff also regularly coordinate outdoor events and activities that people can sign up for. Naturally some activities are more seasonal than others (looking at you, kayaking!). Others happen year-round, including monthly night hikes in Frick Park. It's a shame this shop is currently so far out of my way, because if I was closer I'd probably stop in more often, even if only to take advantage of their community fireside hours. Still, it's great that they're here in the city at all - and it just makes my rare visits that much more delightful and special!

Therefore, we went back to the store (with a receipt) to return them & get his money back. They apparently only offer store credit on a gift card for most returns.

I don't mind wearing a men's work boot, but I wear a women's size 9. For women with smaller feet, I don't know that they would find something to fit them.

WAY different vibe than different similar branded stores, in a good way! Everyone was super helpful and knowledgeable, and even though they didn't have what I was looking for this trip I will totally be back next time I have something in mind. They had popular brands like Yeti, Vuori, North Face, etc. and when I visited they had clothing items 25% off so I would call before going to ask if a specific item you are looking for may be on sale!

Everything was pretty pricey, as expected from name-brand outdoor gear, such as The North Face, Columbia, and Patagonia. I learned that you can actually rent all sorts of gear, including tents, sleeping bags, snowboards, bikes and kayaks. They also offer classes/events, mostly focused on rock climbing for now. I do feel that their climbing rates were a bit high for the limited space that they have. Their climbing wall has only 5 vertical routes with a very small bouldering area, and they charge ~$20 for one hour. As an avid indoor rock climber, I would recommend visiting one of Pittsburgh's climbing gyms instead. Their day passes cost ~$20 as well, and you can climb for as long as you like. I see the benefit of having the wall for trying on climbing shoes if you're looking to buy, but not so much for recreational purposes.

The employees were abound and I think 4-6 asked me in a short time if I was finding everything. The cashier was quick, and kind. Overall I would absolutely return here for my athletic items. I would say that their selection of head gear for women was limited.

This location is on two levels and when someone asked me what I wanted I was directed to a sales man to help me. In this case I needed heated gloves. He brought out a few pair in men's sizes but didn't seem to have too many in women's sizes. When it comes to purchasing gloves you just can't go by the measurements of your hand. My salesman was kind enough to let me try on a few for fit and I was able to get my correct size. I found that the pair I wanted wasn't available in the store in a women's size so he ended up ordering it online for me. What made it nice was that the store price was cheaper than the online price so he price matched that for me. Dick's does do price matching if you see something somewhere else. They carry all types of sporting goods for all seasons as well as clothes, shoes, and sporting goods accessories. My battery operated heated gloves has a two month return window on them which will give me an opportunity to see how they work in cold weather. Located in the mall of Robinson they have their own parking lot.
