I really like REI, every store I've been to, from AZ to DC to CO has had great staff, service and selection. I bought a membership over a year ago, and since it's a co-op, the members recieve a coupon and thier dividend at the end of each year. It's a great place to get outdoor supplies, from tents to clothes. We've loved our gear from REI, and we even registered for our wedding here!
