| - I'm not super outdoorsy so I don't know whether the stuff in the store is overpriced or not. Some of it is $$$, but that might just be the cost. I honestly don't know. I will say that I LOVE this store. They have a great selection of everything you could want for hunting, fishing, camping, kayaking, hiking, climbing, traveling, and general outdoors-ing.
The Backpackers Shop seriously has everything you could need. Warm weather gear. Cold weather gear. Boots. Shoes. Sandals. Socks. Sweaters. Jackets. Heavy duty hiking packs. Day packs. Everything under the sun for camping. First aid kits. Stoves and cookware. Dry bags. Freeze dried meals. Knives. Kayaks. Hammocks. Fishing and hunting stuff.
I first came to The Backpackers Shop in 1998 and bought a Northface travel pack that I still use today (although 20 year me bought a purple one, and 36 year old me is less than pleased with that decision). When I need a quality product that I need to rely on, I come here. Some of the prices are high, but the quality is high as well. You get what you pay for, and it's worth it to buy something that will do its job when you need it.
The employees are knowledgeable and friendly.
It's worth the drive from wherever you are. It's a 20 minute drive from Lakewood/CLE.
