Backwoods

I’ve been going to Backwoods for years, but somehow it had not been on my radar for a review. We recently popped in to buy some Christmas presents (Smartwool makes an excellent gift, especially when you’re not sure what to do for someone). We were also looking for some Patagonia capiliene and a few other items my husband was in search of. We ended up with a lot more booty than we intended to, thanks mostly to our excellent salesperson.
We were assisted by Christa, who helped us find exactly what we were looking for, and was also able to point us in the direction of a few similar brands and options when they were out of the sizes we wanted in a few things. She also suggested a few other fun items we might get since we were clearly on the hunt for stocking stuffer-​y type gifts. I really appreciated the personal help, especially during a busy holiday Saturday.
I had previously thought Backwoods was a big national chain, but it turns out, they are just a small regional group of stores with locations in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and Arkansas. I’m much more interested in spending my money regionally, with a small, locally owned chain, than I am going to Bass or Cabela’s.

So happy to find this place; my Colorado heart was aching over the lack of a nearby REI but this gem provided the same level of quality and customer service. One of the workers spent a good amount of time helping me size and choose a framed backpacking backpack and was extremely helpful. The price was reasonable and they offer a 15% military discount– thank you so much!
They have a great selection of all things adventure, and I will certainly be returning for any other outdoor gear.

Great customer service with a very knowledgable staff. If you enjoy outdoors adventure, this is the best outfitter in OKC. Camping, hiking, fly fishing. They have all of the best outdoor clothing, gear and shoe brands.
