July 31, 2011. Last week my wife talked me into making the 30 minute drive to Benchmark. Reluctantly I agreed to go... I was surprised, the store reminds me of some of the better outfitters you find in CO and the people were amazingly helpful! VERY patient... Good mix of high-end gear and some basics. I bought a pair of Mountain Khaki's and she got a furry vest with a hood. Very cool, but a bit trendy & pricey. If you can afford to spend a premium and want something unique. Go here. If price is your main driver. Hit the outlets - just don't expect the same level of service or selection. Staff makes this place go 'round and I liked the manager.
