DPS Posted November 12, 2002 Posted November 12, 2002 So, I stopped by Outdoor and More just south of Lake Union looking for a pair of fleece liner gloves. Found a nice pair for a good price. I also found really good prices on ropes, like $50.00 cheaper than the other shops. I asked the guy behind the counter the merits of one rope versus another and he actually knew single pict vs double pict, handling characteristics etc and had formed a opinion based on using the products through actual use! I was so floored that I had no choice but to fork out the dough for a new 9.8 60 m dry Maxim Twill rope (single pict for longer durability and a stiffer hand!). Every time I have visited this store I have been pleased by the selection, price and service. For clothing, packing, tents and general mountaineering gear, this place is worth a look. I just wanted to mention them because they don't seem to get much lip service. [ 11-12-2002, 03:19 PM: Message edited by: danielpatricksmith ] Quote

ScottP Posted November 12, 2002 Posted November 12, 2002 I went in to look at tele boots one day. The boots in stock weren't what I wanted and I said so up front, but the guy sat me down, measured my feet, described the size I would need and even noticed where I had one tweaked foot from a third degree ligament tear that he told me how to compensate for. I wasn't planning on buying anything, but walked out with a pair of socks just because of how cool the guy was with his time. They are how all retail outlets should be. Quote
Charlie Posted November 13, 2002 Posted November 13, 2002 Not tryin' to be negative...but every interaction I've had with the owner hasn't been very good. I've always thought he was kind of a prick. The rest of the employees have been cool. Quote
