I needed a new bite valve for my generic CamelBak at 8 PM on the night before a hiking/camping trip.
At first I was a little disappointed I couldn't just buy a new bite valve...but they do carry them for the CameBak brand bladders, but not for my generic one. I ended up buying a whole new CamelBak bladder.
After my trip I was really glad I just boughtt it because it is awesome, and was much better than my old one. The new CamelBak water reservoirs are legit, although those kudos also go to CamelBak...but anyway.
I thought the staff was friendly enough to review a chain. I doubt people care about the reviews for stores like Big 5, Sports Authority, Sports Chalet, etc. because they're all chains but I cared enough to provide positive feedback for this location. I was here late, probably as they were hoping to get wrapped up for the night and they were nice and genuinely wanted to help out.
I was even able to buy my Tonto recreation pass and stickers for my watercraft here too. They sell trout stamps, permits, etc.
Thanks for bailing me out at 8 PM and being nice about it, Big 5 on Hayden Road. I'll be back.
