The store was cool, arranged nicely. They keep it tidy. Definitely an element of hurry and anxiety when shopping there during the holidays because everyone is hustling to get their stuff. Prices are still pretty high but it's Columbia, what do you expect. If you really look deep, you could find nicely priced items. In my opinion, the shoes are really where it's at but I could be wrong. Cool store located in a nice waterfront area, very nice. :)

But it’s employees only or special invite usually thru your work place. Great bargains on apparel, very nice and knowledgeable staff .

Love this place. Great prices and selection of what is coming fashion wise and season wise

Well stocked. Easy to access the product

This is a great place to stock up on any outdoor clothing for the winter. I love that if they don't have your size, you can order it there and still get the employee discount.

I needed gear for an extended wilderness trip. Replaced rain gear, built a waterproof, layered shell, some shorts, pants and shoes for under $300, all quality stuff, well below typical retail prices. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of taking my partner there the next day. It's in a super cool repurposed industrial building. This area is worth exploring and there are no better places to view the Bay and SF skyline.

Nice store well stocked with the latest styles at a good price.

Visited on a Sunday afternoon, 2nd day of sale, and even though we were able to purchase some items, we had a hard time looking up for our sizes (women's medium sizes to be exact). There were a variety of really good products with good discounts but sizes were broken. Not sure when or if they replenish with the same items or with different stocks once they're gone. Overall, with the provided discount and friendly staff, it was a very good experience. Oh, by the way, there was a queue for entering the premise when we got there and waited nearly if not 30 minutes to get in.

Make sure to bring your invitation as that is the only way to get in because this is an employee store.
Employees are super friendly and knowledgeable.
Sizes are hit or miss but you can order off the in-store computer if they don't have your size.
Discounts are good so it's super dangerous to the wallet... I dropped over $1,800 so be cautious if you're being your significant other 🤑

Pretty good prices (still a hefty tag for some things, but presumably they are quality gear!). I ended up spending more than I planned, but I got quite a few things that I like and will use. Fairly crowded on Saturday afternoon. Fitting rooms are open.

Current styles, beautiful vibrant colors, and in every size. I love shopping here the prices are fabulous. And Rosie the Rivert is located at the far end of the property.

Always a great deal. Incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly staff. Really 10/10 spot if you have an invite.

If you're able to shop here I would recommend it (even if it's quite a drive if you aren't already in Oakland and up)! Everything in store is discounted (50%~) and during certain seasons you can even pick up an additional 10-20% off. They have a few brands aside from Columbia, which is Mountain Hardwear, Prana, and Sorel. Every time I've come, there has been no issue with checking in and checking out and I will say every staff I have encountered were extremely helpful. I will say there are limited sizes/styles for things depending on when you get there, and I have found that stock isn't also guaranteed "in the back". The dressing room situation can also get out of hand, so knowing your sizes for the brands you're shopping for would help with that.

Excellent! I hate clothes shopping, but this place is amazing. Great deals, and even better sales. Got three pairs of pants and a trucker hat. Very good quality. I will return.

This store has a great selection, super friendly staff and good prices. You need to have some form of employee access, like State, or Local government, Fire, Law Enforcement, or Military to get in. I'm not sure who all qualifies to get in, so what I'm saying is to check their website to see if you qualify for access.

It's quite a drive to get here but if you are looking for lower prices than in the stores it might be worth your visit. It has a good selection of men and women clothing and some for kids. Also a section with shoes. It relatively painless check out.

Great prices, but the signage can be confusing for additional discounts. Make sure to ask or bring things up with store employees.

Quality good as always, good sale but, selection was low. Needed light sweater jackets and rain coat. Rain coat only had XS, need S to wear with a shirt on and colors of sweaters was not my colors

If you get access it is totally worth it! Great deals on quality products.
