Great customer service and a better warranty than REI (or anyone else that Im aware of). They have a limited selection of typically priced non OR gear, better deals can be had online, but when they carry something I want I tend to buy it if the price is somewhat similar since their warranty is so good. As to the OR gear itself, its generally very well made and well thought out and, unlike many other outerwear brands, they still focus on the people that actually go outside, not just the people who want to look like it. Their accessories are generally better than the competition.

Having a retail background, I expect a level of customer service from the moment I walk in the door to within 5 minutes of looking around the store. I was not greeted or asked at any time during the 15 minutes I was browsing. Three sales associates without customers did not even acknowledge my presence. As I walked out, new customers were greeted as they walked through the front door. Its too bad because I thought their selection was great.

Ive been an outdoor guide for 25 years. The first gear I ever bought for mountaineering and back country skiing was from Outdoor Research and I STILL USE IT! Everything I get from OR is top quality and Im proud to support a Seattle based company that makes such incredibly durable clothing and equipment. Products we buy from other suppliers havent lasted nearly as long.

Friendly, super knowledgeable climbers and skiers run this shop. Great selection of skiing, climbing, casual, and camping gear from a lot of trusted brands, not just OR. Great sales and special events. Parking can be limited, but available nearby. Next door to Macrina Bakery, so worth a stop no matter what.

Love OR! Friendly, knowledgeable staff, and their gear and prices are far better than anywhere else. These days its hard to find womens things that are actually useful and not just to look the part- but this place is my happy place! Also, Wilson the boxer is the best doorman!

Skip REI when you are looking for OR stuff and head straight here. Better selection of all there gear and knowledgeable staff is what you get when you go to the store that started it all for outdoorsy folks in the PNW.

I was amazed to find out this place existed. OR makes great stuff and theyre so under the radar. The fact that they have a store front hidden away makes it all the better.

Staff are friendly and they have a good selection of great stuff for Cascadia sports. However they have an awful return policy, even for defective gear. Go to REI instead.

OR continues to create great outdoor adventure and sports gear that is tailored to the Northwests weather. The infinite garuntee is the best warranty in the industry!

A bit off of the beaten path. The store is small, but you get to see most of their products in one location. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.
