Cooperative, selling outdoor recreation gear, sporting goods, and clothing via some 143 retail stores in 36 states, catalogs, and the web.

At REI, we love to get outside and play, and we know first-hand the importance of quality outdoor gear. We stand behind all our products with a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and we design our own line of award-winning REI brand gear and clothing. Whether you're new to outdoor adventure or a seasoned pro, we gladly share our enthusiasm for our products—and the trails, slopes and waterways where we play.

REI's core purpose is to inspire, educate and outfit for a lifetime of outdoor adventure and stewardship. As a cooperative, everyone in the company and custom- ers, producers and suppliers, are invited in to the mission of REI and asked to play a part in creating the unique REI experience.
