Outdoor Outlet

They are closed down. Or at least relocated somewhere else. This store is definitely not open anymore, drove by there and saw the sign.

Wanted to support a small business for my camping needs. would’ve happily bought two tents and other supplies here. When i came in, I was literally the only customer in the place. I looked at the tent selection and was surprised that they only had one or two crappy tents on the shelves. They have kelty, north face, and mountain hardware banners outside the store but had no such tents on the shelves. I’m not sure if this place is going out of business but the shelves and sale bins are a mess. Someone clearly stopped caring at this place. After fifteen minutes of being ignored by the two employees who were giggling with each other behind the counter, i decided to leave. They even had a couple things i needed, but at that point i didn’t want to spend money here. Oh well, off to R.E.I and Sport Chalet!

A double edged sword — is probably something you wont find here. Mainly because the practical uses of such a tool while going into the great outdoors would be fairly limited. I mean, you can’t really chop down a tree with it and opening cans is just a messy en devour.
But you’ll most likely not find it here because this place has a lacking amount of product for what relatively big size it looks to be. It’s the reverse tardis. Bigger on the outside. Not so much so on the inside.
What it does have is a lot cheaper than how much you’ll find it in other locations like REI and sporting goods stores. So if they do have what you’re looking for, they’ll be the price to beat. Thus, the double edged sword of having great prices but not so great selection.
Great customer service helps keep the rating up and all around, a worthy stop if you’re gearing up for an outdoor adventure.

The best place for discounted high quality outdoor gear!

I was looking for hiking/​camping equipment and actually found this local place here on Unilocal.It is the outlet for REI. I did get a very good deal on a water camel back pack, and they have a lot of great things there, however some of the merchandise I felt was still a little pricey for an outlet. Nevertheless, I recommend this place to price check against other sporting goods and hiking stores.

This store offers all the things you will need for an active outdoor lifestyle without the frills of the mega chains. If you dig around you are able to find some great deals. I bought a camelbak insulated water bladder for $ 20. I thought that was an amazing deal since all the online retailers were selling them for $ 30. I went back a few weeks later and found that most of them have been sold. The staff is very knowledgable and extremely friendly.

Lots of selections and pretty competitive pricing! We were just browsing this time but a really helpful sales associate walked us through all our options. I appreciated that. I would definitely consider returning for some equipment for my upcoming backpacking trip.

I have a daughter who is a Girl Scout and we shop here for the various things she needs for camping. We have always been lucky and found everything we need here without having to drive out to REI.

Neat! Random in Alhambra since the closest outdoor store would be considered the rare Big5 off Valley. Doesn’t have everything but it has some pretty good stuff, random stuff too.
The customer service/​staff is amazingly super knowledgeable. Pure genuine insights.
However prices aren’t really that great. Maybe if you find a good deal but don’t expect all the items or much of it to be on sale when you could probably buy it at another store or online for the same price.
Interesting warehouse store.

Ok so you want to become more outdoorsy and dont have a large budget. You think that you are open to «irregular» or «second» quality stuff. Well this is your shop then. WOW the savings on some things are extremely enticing.
I almost bought a pair of rock climbing shoes new, marked as irregular, due to a little bit of excess glue. These are shoes that retail around $ 79.99 and they were on sale for $ 39.99. So yeah you can see what kind of difference this place makes. Its essentially a factory outlet store in the middle of Alhambra!
As others have noted, the interior is not nearly half the size as the the exterior would suggest. None the less, they have a reasonable selection of all of the basics that you may want or need for outdoor stuff from hiking, climbing, camping, etc. They cover equipment, clothing, food, event specific gear, etc.
Some of these items are on additional clearance sale when they are shifting seasons. The staff is willing to help you out unlike most places of this type.
To rehash this joint, they have all the basics at some discounted prices for your basic needs outdoorsy gear. Be forewarned that not all gear is at a discount!
The munchkin and I had fun on our visit here. Hope to go back and might just be getting those climbing shoes at a discount!

This store is dangerous! I have to remind myself that I should shop for things I need and not things I want. Gino E. told me about this place, didn’t know why I haven’t been in here before since it’s closer to me than REI. It’s quite similar to REI in outdoorsy stuff but carries a greatly paired down inventory.
This place has A-​M-​A-​Z-​I-​N-​G customer service, I felt a genuine helpfulness from staff. I was looking for some rock climbing shoes and Christine helped me pick out the right pair. She brought out box after box for me to try and gave me advice on proper fit from her own experience.
Other than shoes I bought a hydration pack for TEN smackaroos and this is including the bladder! Wow, I don’t even know if I could find that cheap of a price online. So the catch was it’s not a popular brand like Camelbak and it’s a factory second. What the hey it works and was what I needed. =p
The manager Ben was cordial and told me about their monthly sales, sign up to be on their email list so you’ll know what day. Store’s worth a stop you would be surprised at what you would find and at what price. Down side is that this place is a small store so it doesn’t have points you can earn or dividends like REI.

Wow! What a great find! The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. One chap really knew his stuff when it came to backpacking. They score major points in the customer service department! Plus I believe they are family run and I like supporting the little guy.
It’s an outlet so of course they don’t have everything all the time but they have a ton of great factory seconds, brand close-​outs and season close-​outs. And if they don’t have what you’re looking for they will point you to another outdoor store who does. On my first visit I found a $ 280 Kelty tent for $ 140! I scored a $ 100 Marmot fleece for $ 50. $ 7 on the best boot socks my feet have ever met! The prices are unbelievable! Plus they have great high-​end and hard to find boot brands like Garmont.
I think I’ll be in there every other week!

I stopped by this place right after shopping at Costco right across the street because I’m an outdoor enthusiast – Camping, backpacking, hiking, snowboarding etc. – and I figure I’d take a look at what this place had to offer.
This place has quality gear and pricing all across the board. You could find some of their same small camping gadgets at your local Walmart for less YET you could find something you would usually get at REI for less here.
Coming from a person who shops at sporting goods stores quite regularly (Big 5, Dick’s, REI, and even online sources), this place is definitely smaller and has some advantages and disadvantages (price-​wise) over its biggest competitors.
Although small, I feel like I’m in a warehouse when I’m in here – maybe because it is a bit dark and the place tends to always be empty or near empty. They have a larger selection of dry freezed foods than places like REI or Big 5 and they have the same quality sleeping bags as REI for cheaper prices. They also have good quality tarps, ropes, and duffle bags for great prices.
They also have a large selection of backpacking packs and hydration packs – probably as big as REI’s selection or at least close to it.
They have a good selection of quality outdoor socks also comparable to REI’s thick socks for surprisingly half the price!
I wouldn’t shop here for all of my camping/​outdoor equipment, but it’s definitely a spot I would check in with before a final purchase. The staff is SUPER friendly as I walked around the store in some Vibram FiveFingers shoes and one staff worker complimented on them and started a whole conversation with my mother and I on them! Right on! :)
Return policy is excellent here too! I definitely recommend this place!

We were both in search of some climbing shoes and fortunately came across Outdoor Outlet on here.
Just about anything and everything you need for your outdoor adventures, at greatly discounted prices. It was really difficult to not impulse shop, although we did walk out with some Mad Rock shoes, significantly cheaper than any online vendor.
Staff is great, helpful and knowledgeable. Plus they have one of the best return policies you’ll find at a sporting goods store! Don’t forget to purchase a couple adventure passes while you’re there.

Discovered this place only because of a friend who used to live in the area. Now, whenever we’re in the area (almost all the time), we stop by and check it out. Because it’s an outlet-​type store, the stuff changes constantly. I bought a great tent for about $ 50, but they don’t have it anymore. I guess that’s the only drawback. If you find a great deal, you have to capitalize at the time, because it might not be there when you go back.
The selections of the freeze-​dried Mountain House foods are exceptional. Far better than Wal-​Mart or any of those other big stores and the prices are cheaper as well. A lot of the gear may not be professional quality, but, if you’re planning to climb Everest, you’re not shopping at these kinds of places anyways. If you’re the recreational camper, this place is perfect. I bought all my gear here and I’ve been very happy with the quality.
Now, I would say the best part about this place is the customer service. The workers are absolutely top notch. They’re extremely helpful and very patient with everyone. Up to date, I’ve never had a bad experience with anyone.
Now, this next part isn’t very important or relevant, but they sell the Mexican bottles of Coke. How cool is that?

outdoor outlet is smaller than most of the rei stores i’ve been,
but it carries a significant range of items ranging from shoes, sleeping bags, cooking gear, balms, tents etc
you can order/​view all their items online.
check out their for sale /​clearance items … they’re pretty good with some as much as 50% off!
most of their stuff comes from kelty & sierra, though i did spy a few marmots.
plenty of parking even though it’s right across from costco. :D
btw… they do not sell park passes here (well, at least not america the beautiful ones) ;)

I finally got the time to come over and check out this place. They have a good selection of products for your camping needs. I just wanted today some dried foods that I recall eating as a kid while camping with my folks and cub scouts. I picked up some freeze dried Strawberries and tried this freeze dried Ice Cream sandwich.
I’ll have to do more research and find the tent that fit my needs for a future visit to this store. Prices look better than REI on some tents and sleeping bags.
Friendly staff and helpful too.

OK, so i’ll be honest I’ve always driven past the building while going to Costco but for some reason I never found myself inclined to visit until today. This place is an AMAZING place to shop for camping-​related gear. Although it is not as glamorous as REI nor does it have other diversified products like bikes that REI has, this place has alot of stuff to offer:
tents, self-​inflatable mattresses, climbing shoes, rock climbing shoes, some rope, sleeping bags, and TONS AND TONS of BACKPACKS!!! seriously, they have a wall just like Eddie Bauer in which they have large camping bags and an additional wall behind the counter filled with 2^nd hand bags. Hydration packs start at $ 7.99 which is a smoking deal for not having to purchase online and waiting for the product to arrive.
Really good deals on tents. Before you go to Big 5 or REI to purchase a tent, I definitely implore you to check this place out. WAyyyyyyy better deals.
Pretty much what another poster said: store is like a mini «Big Lots» and a discount «REI» store.

A campers delight…
Camping pots… pans…
Heeey…these are guy pots and guy pans…
Huge sleeping bags… for a great night out with the bears…
Well hopefully no bears…
Tents…and more tents…
Haven’t been camping since I was a kid…
But this is a cool place for me

Came in her on a whim after visiting my nemesis known as Costco. I was thinking it would be outdoor furniture but it’s more of an outdoor GEAR store. Sort of like a really small, discount REI. Or a «Big Lots» for the outdoor enthusiast.
Everything is on sale. They had a tiny selection of apparel, camping gear, tents and sleeping bags… that kind of stuff. The guy working the counter was very nice. I bought an spf shirt for my father in law for Xmas.
