The REI Co-op is a great outlet to buy clothing and gear for outdoor activities. Their retail stores have sales staff who are outdoor enthusiasts and know their products. The online store provides an extensive selection and good explanations of each item. It’s partially owned by its members, which you can become for a nominal cost. As a member, you receive an annual dividend based on how much you bought in the preceding year. They sell a variety of brands and their own lines. I bought a water-resistant windbreaker with a compartment for the hood. It has survived many hikes without tearing, such as a full day going through canyons to waterfalls in Dominica. Here’s what they offer for windbreakers.
I only recommend luggage and travel clothing that I own and have used for years. I am a stickler for value, so I feature only quality items which are worth the price from reputable brands and merchants. If you would like to discuss luggage and clothing options, contact me here.
