Upon arriving I was pleasantly surprised at how much bigger the store was than I initially thought, the selection of quality gear is impressive and the prices are no doubt competitive, this IS NOT some overpriced boutique. As I said before, the selection of quality gear is excellent but above and beyond all that what impressed me most was the level of individual, one on one, service! Brandon seemed genuinely interested in not just what I wanted, but me as an individual. I could tell his end goal was to have a satisfied customer who left with exactly what I was looking for, which for me was a pair of hiking shoes. All the staff are very knowledgeable and I left with a better understanding of the gear I was looking at. I will DEFINITELY return for more in the near future! So far so good on the Altra Olympus 5 GTX I purchased! This place was a refreshing change from the usual lack of customer service elsewhere, GREAT JOB JL Waters!

Very cool store. We bought a few items. They have lots of things for being outdoors and camping. The staff were all really nice. We also got to meet a cool dog.

I've been coming to this shop since 1979, I still have the patagonia pullover I bought (doesn't fit my round body now). Anytime I am in Bloomington i stop in and visit and usually buy something and share a story and laugh. Thanks for being consistant all these years!

The guys at this store have all of the firsthand knowledge of feces. That's right. If you need any suggestions, advice, or recommendations on feces or anything feces adjacent, this is the store for you. Does your dog need to walk in the space of green near this store? These guys are ON TOP of all of the local feces news. Seriously, go to them with any questions about where you and/or your dog might need to defecate in the area. This is the cause closest to the heart of this store, and it's an important one. It really shows too! When the employees take the time away from their in-store customers and duties to run out onto the sidewalk and shout about dog poop that isn't on their property and doesn't belong to them (yet), you know their heads and hearts are in the poop game, right where they belong.

I love this store. It's like a local mom and pop REI. Cool selection of clothes. The staff is great - very friendly. I wish the clothes were more affordable, but the prices are the going rate for these brands of clothes.

I went here recently to buy hiking socks. I work in the woods so I need heavy duty, durable socks. Unfortunately, the pair I chose didn’t work out great and were damaged in less than a day. I brought them back in a few days later and had no trouble returning them. They were very understanding and even helped me choose a different brand that might work out better!

My favorite outdoor store in all of Indiana! I come in every year for a new pair of Chacos and to stare longingly at all the gear I wish I had.

This was one of my favorite shops in Bloomington while I was an IU student, and being back to visit is no different. The employees are always so genuinely helpful and kind, and it’s great to shop local. I stopped in to check my shoe size for a new running shoe, and was able to get exactly what I needed. Thank you!

I've been going here for years, and I am glad that we still have an independent outdoor store in Btown. They have a good selection of men's and women's clothing, footwear, camping equipment, climbing gear, knives, canoes and kayaks etc. They can also order items specifically for you, from the brands that they carry.
