REI Coop Store: Good outdoor gear

    • Name of Shop: REI Coop Store

    The REI store on the corner of Spenard and Northern Lights is a favorite stop of mine when passing thru Anchorage. Need new rain gear? Tent? Sleeping Bags? Snow Board?

    Gear for camping, back packing, biking, kayaking, canoeing, climbing and skiing.
    Enjoying the outdoor experiences Alaska has to offer requires good quality gear. Nothing worse than getting wet and cold your first day out in the bush.

    REI is a little spendy but has good quality gear. There are higher end and lower end stores for gear in Anchorage but REI seems to balance quality and price so you leave feeling like you got a good deal. It is a coop and so it is worth becoming a member on larger purchases so you get the discount.

     I agree with your assessment of Club Paris. They also have the best prime rib in all of Alaska!    		Ericasmurf99 Sun Jul 6, 2008 22:13 UTC
     Our fingers are crossed for orders to Alaska (Elemendorf AFB). Such a beautiful state.

     A lot of very useful tips, esp. on accommodations, nightlife and restaurants. I can't wait driving down Turnagain Arm (looks pretty!). I have to read more on personal safety in case of meeting bear/moose.
