Love REI, was here the other day for the scratch and dent sale (members get access to used gear) the bf got a pair of vibram five fingers and sandals (BOGO + 50% off) so it was quite a deal.
I'm always going to REI for my outdoor gear needs and they always have what I'm lookin for.
Love their return policy, as a member (only $20 one time fee) you can return anything, even without the receipt (they store what you buy on your records with your membership card) anytime you want.
