4.0 of 5 stars. I know, I know...REI stands for "Return it immediately" but the selection of brands other than REI's own (far superior to EMS's by the way), plus the super nice and well informed staff make this place…

5.0 of 5 stars. REI is not a place to hunt for sales. EMS is a better shop for it. What REI does offer is a dedicated desk for support that no EMS offers. When I walk into REI, I accept that I will pay full price.…

1.0 of 5 stars. First of all, let it be known that I seek no pity. Many would love to be in my position, that is, with a $100 gift card to REI. The sad fact is that it's from Christmas '05, and I've been to this…
