About this business

Independent businesses are the heart and soul of our little mountain town. They give Durango its unique flavor and make our community anything but mainstream or generic.

From the squeaky wooden floors to the way our staff treats everyone like family, we believe that the experience of exploring an "old school" gear store is (almost) as much fun as playing outside.

We were in town a couple weeks ago and stopped in to grab a backpacking meal. We ended up buying a new Exped mat and a backpacking meal based on recommendations from staff at the store. Both turned out to be excellent recommendations and totally worthwhile purchases. They really know their stuff at this store!

I went here to find a hiking shirt. I thought surely in Durango I'd be able to find a women's functional hiking shirt. I want a button up, vented shirt with usable pockets....not those stupid, worthless things only big enough to put a chapstick. I don't get it. This is a constant battle trying to find outdoor clothing for women that is function rather than fashion. They make it for men....why not women? And no...I don't want to purchase men's clothing. In defense of this store, I did find a couple of pairs of pants that were... read more

Thanks for helping me choose the perfect day pack (Osprey Talon 22) for me last week (04-19-2014). I will recommend your store to all my family and friends when choosing the correct hiking gear. I will sure stop by again when I am in town. 

Business response:

We sure appreciate you and your business, hope that Talon serves you well.

Awesome service from a great staff! I'm from out of town and broke an AT binding while touring in the area, and Connor stayed late to repair it for me so I could get out the following day. Thanks!
