THE STORE WITH THE BEST PRICES IN CALIFORNIA.(Sorry outlets...)Everybody is super nice over there. Theyre really knowledgeable about their products and they give really good recommendations depending on what you need and want.

Great experience. The clothing options are obviously amazing, the discounts were fabulous, and the employees were amazingly kind and helpful. If you get the opportunity (it’s generally closed to the public), you should definitely visit!

Lots of clothing and outdoor supply options. Great for shopping

Great store with helpful employees. Check out the computer kiosk to order items not available in the store. Keep your fingers crossed that they get Prana on the online ordering wagon some day. 🤞🏼

Great products, service and pricing

Extremely friendly staff and amazing prices. Sadly not open to the public. Sister got an admission ticket at a local concert, I guess they hand them out sometimes, which allowed us non employees to go in and shop. They had Columbia, mountain hardware, prana, and more. Sell clothing, shoes, tents, sleeping bags, backpacks, bottles, and much more. Great store and great discounts on everything. Need to get another ticket.

They have really good selection especially of clothes. Prices are very good. The jacket I bought was 10% cheaper then the cheapest option I found in the Internet. You could probably find better discounts on other pieces, but I liked this particular jacket a lot. Not many accessories though, like tents, sleeping bags, only couple of types and mostly the expensive one.

If your pockets are very full with $$$, then you will enjoy this store! Lots of high quality and brand name clothing, coats, shoes, and more. Good place to go once a year to pick up things like a new backpack, a new raincoat, etc. The staff are also very friendly and theres a huge parking lot. Easy to get to and worth the drive. Have the correct expectations though, dont expect to get any mind blowing sales, for the employee discount everythings pretty much 50% off, but everything starts at quite expensive prices, so in the end, its still more expensive than Target or Amazon.

This place is awesome! It is invitation only! But military veterans can go in any time! You can find some great outdoor gears with huge discounts. It is also right next to a national park.

Store carries Columbia, Prana, and Mountain Hardwear. Most items are 40% off of retail prices. Items purchased here are only returnable here, and they dont accept returns that were bought at other Colombia stores. Customer service was very helpful.

Love this place. Wonderful selection of great gear, discounted 40-60% off. Very friendly staff, and a great location! If you get a chance to go, do so!

Even with the discounts, items are still fairly pricey. Nice selection for men, women and children. Lots of free parking

Great store for those who are looking for good hiking/winter/yoga/camping gear at a discount price.

Have been here several times. Don’t go on the weekend if you can avoid it. Way too crowded. Had to stand in line for twenty minutes for the fitting room. On weekdays there’s only a handful of people. Prices are great! Even if I don’t find something I like I always find something for one of my kids or grandkids. There shoes are especially great. And ladys if you wear a size 7 or smaller the kids sizes will fit you and they’re like half the price of the adult sizes. I’ve bought 5 pairs of great hiking shoes for $25.00 to $40.00. Same with the clothes. If your a size small get the kids extra large.

Toy store for outdoors people. Quality clothing. Love this place. Great deals for the best outdoor clothing available.

Great selection of in-season clothing and hiking/camping/yoga gear from Mountain Hardwear, Columbia, and Prana. Make sure you have an actual invite to enter. You can also get one by eating at the nearby Assemble restaurant. Dont forget to stop by the Rosie the Riveter/WWII Home Front National Historical Park while youre out there too!

OMG. Wish I had taken pics. Prices are crazy good. If you can get a pass, do it. We spent over $600 and got 3 times what we would have retail.

Always a great experience. Thankful to have access to this spot for great quality clothing at a great price.

They have plenty of items in stock. Youll find cheaper deals with the Columbia branded apparel. Mountain hardwear has nice stuff, but you got to wait for their sales to make it worth it.Dont think youll get any steals, its slightly discounted highly marked up product.I still shop there though :)

Awesome deals. You can get a entrance pass at the restaurant around the corner.

I scored a nice pair of winter boots. There are a great selection of outer wears as well. Plenty of parking right outside.

Great selection of Mountain Gear. Its pricey though, but I suppose good things usually are.

My 1st time but not the last. Its definitely worth a stop in and see 4 urself. Experience and price compare the merchandise with other same brands. Its worth ur while

Very friendly and very helpful people here. While you do need a pass to get in I would highly recommend trying to go here.

Its awesome they allow veterans into this store they have fantastic deals!

Great selection of outdoor clothing. The kiosk allowed me to buy a stocking cap that I couldnt find in the store with free shipping. Friendly, expert service!

Mountain Hardwear products have become poorly sewn with falling apart seams and broken zippers and their customer service doesnt stand behind their products. They demand you pay repair costs for something that is only a month and a half old (outside of the return window for Amazon). I have argued with their warranty department and dealt with their customer service and its all a dead end. The best resolution I could get was document the feedback after hours on the phone. Mountain Hardwear is also owned by Columbia who also owns Sorel prAna. I would assume corporate policy is the same for all of these companies and that is to not care about the customer.

Invites available at Assemble Restaurant. Pre-shop online (Columbia, Sorel, Mountain Hardware), add items to your cart (log in) and then checkout of your cart in the employee store at one of the 2 computer shopping kiosks. Over half the items available online are NOT in the store, but still available at a discount via the kiosks 😉

Love the store but wish they had more sizes on the racks.

Good place of business to get all your outdoors equipment theres many of items to choose from.

Special tour and discounts on Columbia clothing and accessories. Great deals!!

Sarah was awesome she the bomb lifts bag all day hard worked.Thanks Sarah

Great prices. Current seasons fashion. They have a little bit of everything represented.

Love this place. Not open to the public. You need a pass to get in.

This is a great place to get bargains on outdoor clothing etc -- but you need to have permission to gain entry. my place of employment provided a pass. i am not sure of the other types of admission beyond the obvious be-an-employee-of-columbia-sportswear-or-subsidary-thereof.

Some staff can be more helpful with questions on sale items rather than just a blunt response.

Helpful staff, can be crowded but the prices are a no brainer

Stopped in here and found “good” prices on Mountain Hardware, Columbia and Prana cloths and gear. I will definitely come back here again in the future

Go with the understanding that your wallet will be far lighter when you exit the store, but that you’ll come away with some awesome purchases, and let’s be real, is there really such a thing as too many hiking/skiing/climbing/biking/yoga outfits?

The Mountain hardwear store is officially known as the Columbia employee store but people still refer it to the first. This store in general is a great place to browse through especially for anyone that are in the process of looking for outdoor clothing gear. This however doesnt mean that you should only focus on coming here if you need clothing gear. Their clothing in general are pretty stylish and can often be integrated into your daily lineup of what to wear. For those that are into the outdoors, this place is an absolute bargain since the the prices are usually 40-60% off, but is generally more in the 30-50%. Even so that is a steal unless youre one of those patagonia bandwagon poser which I really do not care to talk about. Mountain hardwear store has enough high end gear ranging from simple hiking shoes to jackets to tents for your occasional outdoor spur of the moment. Its a simple one stop shop with the exception of accessories of course like matches, spoons or stove...lol. There is one thing about this store that will keep most of the general at bay and that is the general invitation required for entry. Yes, this store requires you to present an invitation paper of some sort from mountain hardwear to gain access to the discount price. If youre one of those lucky few who gets an invitation from your employer or friends who receive them quarterly then youre in luck! Happy shopping and definitely keep out for their EXTRA 30% OFF event because the discount are steep! Example, a men rs stretch down usually retails for $300 which on average goes for around $200-250 at most store on any given moment. I purchased the jacket for $122.98 which made me go back just to come out with 2 jacket and 1 hoodie then I had originally intended base on my projected budget. Its also a good idea to an eye out for their websites because sales are here and there and yes the price goes down to $149.98. If you sign up for their email program which is free and Im not trying to promote them! You get an extra 20% off on your birthday. I would stay away from sites like Amazon as there are just too many knock off to figure which is real or not! Especially if you are going to spend $$$, you might as well get it from the source. There are just too color option on Amazon that I suspect this feeling of knockoff in the back of my head since I know mountain hardwear rarely offers that many color options on their website alone. Shop smart, shop wise and get more bang out of your buck! 👍💰💰💰

Best outdoor product for its price. The quality seems to have come down several notches since its purchase by Columbia. For example, the stitchings on their apparels that were made in Vietnam have fallen apart like fragile little things. However, their designs are great (seamless, sizing, pocket placements, etc.) and when there are warranty issues, Patrick in the warranty department provided me with credits for the defective items without duress. I really like the fact that a credit is issued and never expires as waiting for a repair to be made takes too long for most of us. Thanks for keeping us playing outside! Overall, this is the best bang for your buck type of a company with growth potential in the quality department. Look to Arcteryx for quality and design inspiration MHW, just dont look at their prices.

Out of the most common sizes for Prana often. Not worth the drive if coming from far away.

Needs to have more help I mean one person checking people out ..

Good selection and helpful staff. Can order whats not here as well

Really good stuff ! And the discounts make it worth the drive.

Great selection! Got all my work apparel there.

Great discounts! Some of the sizes were sold out so that was a lil disappointing.!

Mountain Hardwear is one of my favorite companies to date. They have exceptional customer service and stay true to their life time warranty promise.

If youre lucky enough to have an invitation, its worth a visit. Staff is friendly and helpful- they also have in-store computers to order items not in stock.

Great deals on seasonal items from Columbia, Mountain Hard Wear, Prana, and Sorel. By invite only if you are not an employee.

The customer service is the worst... They dont call you back even if they say they would. They got my on hold order totally wrong. I had to leave work early to get here and because one person didnt call me back, what I wanted were already gone. So I asked for what were left and now they already sold out what I asked for. Seriously!?

Kind of out of the way and not for everyone or even the enthuiast u must find a pass.....

This is the best store ever! Great prices and an awesome selection!

I purchased a Lightpath 2 Tent and enjoyed it. On a camping trip to Yosemite a few weekends ago, I lost my poles. I sent them an email asking if I could purchase a new set of poles and they told me to look on Ebay (there are none on Ebay). After this I asked if they could send me lengths and specifications on the poles so that I can make them myself. I never heard back and will have to throw away my perfectly good tent and purchase a new one. This is very disappointing. I would think that all outdoors companies would promote a sustainable gear replacement policy, tent poles being a basic replacement part.

Store was awesome, crowded because of the holiday!

Great prices and friendly service!! Take advantage if you can obtain a pass!!

Great place, lots of clothing options for outdoor people

Deals here are really good and for high quality clothing / equipment

Amazing prices and employees are super knowledgeable and helpful.

Their product is affordable and the quality is so nice.

Ive been wanting to go here to get discounted outdoor apparels. By invitation only. You get employee-discount prices. Its a little hard to find but plenty of parking.

Like the selection, but the sizes run small, and even going up a size was still tight.Swimmers who are butterflers will be frustrated

Day pass to MHW store available to diners at nearby Assemble restaurant.Great prices - quality products - Im hooked!

Still love this brand, some pieces of clothing run small.
