Easier to Shop Elsewhere
There are several REI stores in my Orange County, CA shopping area. None are well-stocked. All are stuffed with clothing at the ends of the size spectrum, but almost completely lacking in the most popular sizes. It makes no difference what style or price, sale items or full cost, the selection seems curated for midgets or giants. This wouldn't be a big deal if their online platform wasn't an absolute disaster that all-to-often leads to the wrong item or wrong size delivered late. I can get every item they sell elsewhere without the disappointments, delays, and delivery nightmares I've come to expect from REI.
