| - I can NOT believe I haven't reviewed REI yet....well, at least the Boca Park REI. I come here at least once a week and I actually BUY something each time I go and USE what I purchase! I'm an avid hiker and hubby is an obsessed road racer so we never have to think hard about a reason to pop into REI. I've not encountered unfriendly staff in all my many visits here; however, staff product knowledge can be a bit hit-or-miss. But, all is said with a smile! Selection is decent if not stellar, with prices being on the more expensive side, but happily, the return policy is second-to-none (one can bring back used gear and get refunded, no questions asked. Of course, one must be a member to claim this benefit.). Life membership is only $20/year and nets you a certain % back of what you spend.
I always enjoy wandering around and looking at all the cool gear one can get for such complicated activities as sleeping outside on the ground, walking up a big hill, biking around town, or eating outside. :)
