Yup. 136 colors of Stanley cups? Also yes. A sun shirt with a hood? No. Not a chance. Running shorts with a pocket? Absolutely NOT. They do have 50 flowy shorts with built in underwear though! I say stick with online retailers or if you absolutely do not care how much padres gear costs.

After trying on multiple sizes and styles, I finally found the pair I wanted, especially because of the price that was displayed. But when I got to checkout, the price rang up higher. I brought it up, and after checking over the walkie, the cashier said it was likely a wrong insert on the display shoe. I pointed out the San Diego price accuracy sign, and instead of helping, the cashier just giggled and said, "what do you want me to do?" That response felt completely unprofessional. I ended up leaving the shoes and only purchasing a few other items. Definitely a disappointing experience this time around.

Sometimes it's intimidating, as a female, to go into serious sporting/outdoors stores because people are often judgey, but this place was SO welcoming and had the best vibes because of these men! 100% this will be my go-to outdoorsy store because of the great customer service! We looked at their binoculars called "nocs," and they were REALLY good quality, and pretty! They came in different color options! I ended up buying 2 pairs, a green and a blue, and I am in love!! I'm going to use them for bird watching. They also sell everything you can imagine for rock climbing, camping, outdoors cooking, maps, and more. Definitely coming back!

We get the pass through my employer or at the Prana Carlsbad Outlet store. (Just ask when you make a purchase). If you're a senior you can go on Tuesdays or the military has access year round with proof of affiliation. Brands that are on offer are: Columbia, Mountain Hardwear, prAna, and SOREL. Items offered are anything from women's workout wear to fleece jackets, puffer jackets, jeans, hiking/travel pants, shirts, vests, T-shirts, beanie hats, socks, blankets, yoga mats and more. The store is located in a business park setting with free parking. They're open 10am-7pm every day of the week. You first check-in with the front desk where they will check your pass and then you're free to wander the store which is a large warehouse type setting. Fitting rooms are available to try things on. Restrooms are located at the front near check-in. We've typically been going a few times a year over the last 5 years or so. It's hit and miss -- sometimes we spend a few hundred and other times walk out with nothing. Size selections vary. Stock does change, but I also see the same staples there all the time. The merchandise is discounted, but is still pricey due to the fact the brands on offer are pricey brands to begin with. (i.e. these are not TJMaxx kind of prices!) If you're into the outdoors, camping, hiking, traveling, working out and you can get your hands on a pass (or go Senior Tuesdays or are in the military) check this store out! Note: The store is always freezing cold, so go prepared! Helpful?
