Stopped in here for the first time today. They didn’t have the hiking boots I was looking for, but I was pretty impressed with this place. It’s similar to REI and has a nice selection of outdoor brand name apparel. They have an upstairs area, which also holds their clearance items. I ended up buying a couple things from there. What I really liked about this place was the service. We were greeted by one guy when we entered, and another guy helped us in the shoe department. They were both very friendly, easy-going, and not pushy at all. The girl who rang up my sale was also very nice. I’ll be sure to stop in whenever I’m in the area now.

I come in here often with my boyfriend and while I never buy anything, he usually always leaves with something he just couldn’t live without. This is a great little store and the next best thing to REI considering we don’t have one in Ft. Worth. I usually always take a seat in their awesome leather chairs in the back of the store(great for those girlfriends who are drug along aka me). Staff always acknowledges us, helps us out, offers advice, etc. I would recommend to anyone needing any outdoor gear!

I went in with the intent of buying all my gear needed for going skiing and was not even acknowledged. I looked around to see anyone was available and the workers seemed too concerned with getting coffee. I’m going elsewhere. Very disappointed.

Thank you Backwoods off of 7th street for going above and beyond! Bringing in my veteran’s with their service dogs in training has always been a great experience. Your employees have even voluntarily participated in training situations such as acting out a stranger’s greeting. Great staff, clean premises, all around great experience.

I can’t really say I do a ton of outdoor activities that warrant me shopping here. I mostly come here to prep for music festivals or camping. Occasionally I’ll get shoes here since they have a great flip flop selection in the summer. The staff is very helpful. I had been using Camelbak hydration packs for years and went in to buy a new one– the guy on the floor introduced me to the Osprey brand. I love it! Much better than Camelbak, good frames, easy to clean, and holds a lot more than my Camelbak ever did. Make sure when you pay that you sign up for the birthday list. They send you sweet coupons once a year!

It’s pretty good for a camping store, although everything there is a bit pricy, but that’s expected for a downtown location. It does have quite a bit of things you wouldn’t really find elsewhere

Stopped by this place one night before i went into the pour house(next to it). Found the staff to be friendly and wanted to help me with any questions i had, but they weren’t pushy. Nothing special or an over abundance of items as far as selection goes. I did find the shoe selection horrible though! If for some strange reason your into fly fishing they have the items to make your own flys which is really great, but when it came to other items such as poles reels ect it was well below par. Looks like they were holding a seminar while i was there on picking the right sleeping bag(very useful). This store is just alright, if your in the area and don’t want to drive to an REI or other outdoor this place you will find the products you’re looking for, just don’t expect a great selection of items to choose from. Sidenote: upstars to the right on the tables is items from the other stores they are trying to get rid of, so you can find some good deals on things.

I had a return trip to Backwoods to get some Eagle Creek pack-it gear the day before my trip to Ireland. I was pleased this time to find the staff very friendly. The upstairs was staffed with a very knowlegable older gentlemen who indulged my numerous questions about packing systems and what was best. He invited me to the in-store packing seminar, which, unfortunately, I could not attend. Also, the clerk at the register was very friendly. Things appear to have changed for the better at Backwoods… or I was just there on an «off» day. I will be returning in the future for my travel needs. I loved the modular packing system, would recommend it to anyone, and intend to buy more of it!
