Great customer service, awesome deal on Kayak rentals. We got 2 kayaks for 2 days for $60! which came out to be $15/day each kayak. That is the best deal around seeing as many other local places charge $30-$45 for an hour or two only. NEB will also equip your vehicle with safe transportation of the kayaks & provide paddles and lifevests too. This allowed us to take them where we wanted to go vs other rental places that require you to stay on their body of water. NEB was even okay with us returning them a little late after being stuck in traffic on our way back. Great service & amazing deals!

These guys were extremely helpful in advising me on kayaks and roof racks, convincing me to spend LESS then I intended. They showed me how to use everything and spent a ridiculous amount time answering my questions and making sure I understood the answers. Im happy to have supported a local business like this, and will definitely buy through them in the future.

Just found this place by accident. EXCELLENT selection of gear and very reasonable prices.Variety of items and brands shows that these guys are right on top of the latest trends and proven workhorses. Some of the items I looked at are the same price I got from Amazon. This place is going to get all of my business from now on.

Just bought my Vapor 10 Angler from here and the service was great. They helped me find the right boat for me because of my bad knee. Price was also 50 dollars cheaper then any where else and they had the color no one else had. Definitely recommend!

Service, knowledge and friendliness is the reason that New England Backpacker has been bringing the best gear and clothing to Central Massachusetts for DECADES! It is easy to feel good about supporting local businesses with folks like these.

By far the most knowledgeable backpacking/hiking/climbing store around. I try to purchase all my gear here and support a local business. One of the few stores I truely enjoy going too and spending my hard earned money.

Small store with great prices and a friendly atmosphere. The selection is smaller than EMS or REI but you can tell they chose quality over quantity. Staff was knowledgeable and friendly.

Robert Dumas

I have bought hiking gear, snowshoes, and cross country skis from them. Always helpful, and as others have noted their prices are very competitive with online retailers.

Adrian Lee

Not the cheapest, but the level of service and the knowledge is worth the extra cost. Good place to go to get useful tips.

They are a small outdoor shop with a big sum of experience. Quite friendly and very helpful.
