Re: Where to buy helmets...

[gerblefranklin]

So, the other day I went to REI for a job application, and while I was
there I asked about replacing my helmet, which has a dent in it. The
manager immediately told me that as long as I was a member, I could
return the helmet in any condition. He said i could've shattered it, and
still been able to return it. That means that from now on I'm buying my
helmets, camelbak bite valves, and possibly shoes at REI, because when I
outgrow, break, or wear them out, I can simply return them for a full
refund and buy another. I'm so happy!

Also, I was told that a lifetime membership was just $15 for an entire
membership. Well worth it for me, since helmets are around $50-60.

Man, now I know the meaning of "consumer advocate."

Don't you think it's a cruel irony that acting like a G.I. Joe in the
army can get you a Medal, while playing with one can get you thrown out?

Some people joke that REI stands for Return Every Item.

REI does stand behind what they sell. I've never used their generous
return policy, but it's there if something really does fall apart on me
or if something just plain doesn't work as I expected.
