The Backpacker

Really nice outdoor store. I needed a rain jacket for the LSU game and they came thru with flying colors. Knowledgeable staff, cool, clean store.

I was looking for some running shoes and I have a taste for On Cloud. The Back Packer came up as a dealer and so I had to check it out. It’s not your Cabelas or Bass Pro shop. They have a great selection of hiking camping, mountaineering, and just everyday lounging gear. Rob who was working in shoes was very helpful in taking care of my needs to even let me take the shoes upstairs and run around to get a feel for them. I would suggest a treadmill for the runners because that is how you will find out if the shoes will be a good fit. As I came downstairs Rob mentioned to show my Military credentials for a discount which was awesome that he recognized me. I also got to the counter and the clerk got me a decal that I could stick to my bike so that I could advertise the company like that. Yes I will be back for other things as they did have quite a bit to choose from. And I will recommend them to anyone who is looking for some outdoor gear.

Rob & Nick were super helpful on the purchase of my new Ivory Dune colored Hobie Mirage Outback. Rob was great over the phone and Nick delivered it the very next day. The. Very. Next. Day!!! Now THAT is service!!! Awesome guys, Awesome kayak, Awesome company! I can’t say enough good about The Backpacker!!!
