Do not order online from this retailer. I ordered a $199 bike attachment for my 4 year old daughter. While REI shipped in a timely manner, for some unknown and irrational reason, they instructed UPS to only deliver it in person to me. I kept signing the ...

While REI's prices may be a little steep on some items, for the most part, they're fantastic. Their selection, as well, cannot be rivaled. When buying tents or other gear, you can get the whole package (tent, ground cloth, gear loft, etc) without...
