Don’t go! I subscribed to their “lifetime membership” for 30$ in exchange of a 30$ gift card. Apparently the gift card expired just a few days later. So just a total scam. when I went they did not accept it because it was only a few days expired. Maybe they made 30$ out of this scam but totally lost a customers that’s worth definitely more. Not a great business model imo.

In general I'm a fan of REI. Good customer service and not pushy. Overall good vibes. My three stars rating is based on 3 main criteria: sustainability, labor practices, and selection of barefoot/minimalist footwear. 1. Sustainability: I think the whole industry needs to move even more in the direction of responsibly-produced 100% natural and/or truly eco-friendly and biodegradable fibers like hemp, linen, lyocell, wool, silk (including plant-based and ahimsa silks), and many other little-known fibers like chiengora and banana fiber. This REI does have some wool and hemp/cotton blend clothes. But like almost all outdoor gear stores, the selection of technical gear is dominated by petroleum-based synthetics, and most of the other stuff is cotton, which generally isn't as good for performance or for the environment, or recycled synthetics or synthetic-natural blends. Sometimes synthetics are the only option, like when you need something super lightweight, waterproof, and/or strong, but for most use cases, natural/lyocell does fine. Synthetics require petroleum for their manufacture, and even recycled synthetics and blends release microplastics when washed or disposed of improperly, and they take forever to decompose. Plus they stink up a storm when you wear them, catch fire easily, and are generally poor temperature regulators. This may be a contentious issue for some, e.g. animals rights advocates and environmentalists who say all wool and/or silk production is unavoidably inhumane/unsustainable. There's not enough space to get into it fully here but it's an important conversation. I'd also love to see more attention to the types of gear used in bushcraft, which tend to be made from natural materials and metal. Timeless, durable stuff, not plastic, speaking to a different way of relating to nature. 2. Labor: It seems they gave their workers a hard time when they wanted to organize a union. But the workers finally won. 3. Minimalist/barefoot shoes: They stopped carrying Vibram Five Fingers and have no other barefoot/minimalist options that I could see.
J-Rocks!
Great selection of apparel and equipment for outdoor pursuits, some bargains & some top dollar stuff, but you get what you pay for. Staff are superbly knowledge and helpful.

Best outdoors store in the world!
Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.
As of early April, masks required, capacity limits with lines outside when they're "full," distancing in the checkout line, and staff monitoring people as they enter.
Yes they do.
Yes they do have a limited selection of kids gear and clothes.
How much you wanna spend?
There is a paid parking lot within a few blocks, as well as street parking.
Of course dogs are allowed. I'm sure the staff would appreciate it if they were well behaved and did their 'business' before coming in.
Yes they do!
REI does sell some wetsuits that could be used for surfing, and it looks like they even have some of them at the Soho store. Probably a good idea to check online at REI.com first. You can even check the inventory at nearby stores while you're on the site.
They did a while ago as well as Garmin.
Yeah REI isn't really a second hand store if you want to buy used stuff I would go and recommend Goodwill that's a good place that only takes very very good conditioned equipment
They do on the 2nd floor by the shoes
I don't think so, I've never seen that kind of product at the store, but they do have it online.
Yes
Yes they do
Yes, they sell Leki products. They have both trekking sticks and skiing poles.
I don't think so, but they do sell Gear Aid Seam Sure Water-Based Seam Sealer to fix leaks.
No, it's a store for bicycling, camping, skiing, ice climbing snowboarding , etc.
Yes, they have sleeping bag.( You can find almost everything you need for camping and outdoor activities)
Look at REI website, there's a store in yonkers and a couple in Jersey
Few stores sell La Sportiva in NY, but I think that specific model is not in this store, but you can go and ask one of the sellers.
You have to contact the store
You can call and check
Yes
Why don't you ask the store, I'm sure they are willing to help.
Give REI a call!
I don't believe rei sells them but please contact the store
I don't think this rei sells any permits or licenses, as far as i am aware
It has something to do with their bank. They are working on it.
Depends on the brand and model but on average are 1lb
Not sure, youcan call them up and ask.
Yes you can. Although some items and sale prices are online only.
Yes this REI has all sizes, and if it you can't find what you need paragon in union square may have what you need.
From Wikipedia: The building sports two gilded statues by sculptor Henry Baerer of Shakespeare's character Puck, from A Midsummer's Night Dream, one on the northeast corner at Houston and Mulberry, and one over the main entrance on Lafayette.[3]
