The best gear, knowledgeable staff and the best return policy ever. Being a co-op, members get an annual return and they have some killer sales. I spend way too much time and money there.

If you want something to hold your laptop, carry all your other stuff and hold up in any situation, plus be comfortable...look no further. I have had my current one now for almost 6 years and it may not look like new but not a bit of it is falling apart. (kind pricey) from gefunk

These are very good walking/hiking shoes. I own a pair and it has been two years since I bought them.

You do have to be careful about warranties, some equipment (BCD's and regs) loose the warranty if you buy it from an internet site. Do your research. from zanke sancool liked this entryThe Storm All-Weather Safety Whistle is the loudest whistle on the market. It's unique patented design allows it to be heard under water, up to 50 feet, because the sounding chamber forces all water to be purged when the whistle is blown. Made in the USA.

Got amazing service the 2 times I ordered from them. from fanfreluche
