Sam was super helpful helping us find the perfect backpack for our needs. Really knows his product well. Nice selection as well. Really nice locally owned outfitter.Sam has an amazing story and was kind enough to share it with us. He is a truly inspiring person.
Well outfitted mountain store. Great knowledgeable staff!
Very knowledgeable and helpful for the Osprey backpacks and hydration packs. Also took the time to give us some tips on good hikes at Glacier.
These guys went above and beyond to get my AT boot fixed under warranty! They were there to help, not to make money off me. Awesome customer service and now Ill go there for all my adventure needs. Thanks Guys, you Rock!
These guys went way out of their way to find an obscure part for my kayak. I bet they take care of all their customers with the same enthusiasm.
Smaller selection but excellent and the staff was super helpful for my shoe shopping.
You will not find friendlier or more knowledgeable help with outdoor gear anywhere else in the Flathead Valley. Jandy and his staff are always glad to spend the time answering my questions and teaching me a thing or two. I can’t recommend RMO enough.
Great local shop with good selections
I spend a lot of time in the backcountry. I cant speak for the knowledge of other stores in the valley, but this place only hires people that know what they are talking about. The owner is ever-present and a joy to buy from also. Highly recommend.
Great stuff & staff!!
Friendly, Knowledgeable staff. Cozy downtown store. Real classic feel. Excellent selection of outdoor gear for hiking, alpine and nordic skiing. Carry lots of top brands. See Matt or Jandy
Awesome local adventure shop with all the gear I needed for a last minute bike pack trip. Staff are very knowledgeable and experienced and take the time needed to ensure you get the best set up for yourself. Not to mention they are super rad!
Awesome shop! Super nice people with great info on any outdoor adventure! We stopped here on our way to glacier np and I’m so glad we did! A great store to get gear!!!!
If you want real customer service go here. Theyre focused on the customer not just making a sale.
Absolutely the best outdoor store around. The employees know what they are talking about and test out the gear themselves. They are also super kind and always going the extra mile for people and the wilderness areas around the valley. In a world of big box stores and half baked customer service this place is a jewel full of what really matters.
Absolutely my go-to stop for any outdoor gear. They are always so knowledgeable on all of their gear, and truly take the time to get you into the perfect piece that you are looking for, whether that be skis, boots, packs, coats, cook stoves, you name it. And, who doesnt love the opportunity to shop local! Down to earth, stellar team. Love, love, love RMO!
Best place for mountaineering and outdoors in the Flathead. The employees are all amazing, knowledgeable and friendly. If you are new here as I was not too long ago, they are more than happy to point you in the direction of good backcountry, climbing, kayaking or whatever your personal fun is. As far as gear goes they always have a great selection on hand for almost everything and an impressive amount of climbing equipment.
Very helpful. Took time to explain products
Awesome place to go for quality gear, info and service! David and the folks there are always super helpful and make an honest effort to find something that works at a competitive price without hassle or pressure to sell. I’ve also made quite a few informed local climbing decisions over the years thanks to their help and guidance and lived to tell about it.A must-stop if you’re looking to get introduced to the climbing culture in Northwest Montana. Thanks everybody!!
Excellent service by knowledgeable employees. If one salesperson hasnt been there, done that, another has. Very comfortable atmosphere. Like being at your gear-head friends house. Only place I trust to mount my old-school telemark bindings. - Russ
Knowledgable staff and quality merchandise. My favorite shop for all of my outdoor adventures!
RMO is THE best sports store I could imagine. Jandy and staff are stellar and keep me returning for more kayaks! Their selection is great, knowledge is vast, and patience has been so appreciated in helping me load up my kayaks properly and safely. I come all the way up from Bozeman just to do business with them. Also love their downtown location. They were exceptionally understanding of a sale one year when I was sick and went out of their way to help me modify my order. From that they earned my undying loyalty! Dont even worry about going anywhere else. RMO is it!
Recently purchased two pairs of hiking boots. Staff was remarkably knowledgeable. They are all active experienced outdoors people who understand the sport as well as the equipment.You don’t get this level of expertise from the big box stores.
Great inventory and competitive prices. The staff is very, very knowledgeable and patient. We worked with Dave. Not only did he set us up with gear, but he mapped out a great hike for us in Glacier National Park. We will definitely return.
We rented kayak from this place and got the best service. Love the staff there. They have everything you will need for affordable prices.
These guys and girls are amazing! They are helpful, inviting, and knowledgeable. So many shops the staff seem pretentious or dont know what theyre talking about but not here. The staff at RMO know their products and know the area and theyll always point you in the right direction rather than trying to force a sale. I cant say enough about this shop.
Shopping here captures all the reasons to shop locally. You will regularly run into the owner and never know it (unless you recognize him from the magazine cover) because he acts just like any other employee helping customers around the store. Everyone is super knowledgeable, helpful, and clearly passionate about everything they sell and the activities the gear is used for.
Simply the best gear shop in the valley! I stop at RMO for all my outdoor gear related needs. The people who work there know the industry and what works - often due to their own use of the products. Their knowledge of the area is also a great resource. Im so glad we have this shop in Kalispell!
Best staff in the valley for your outdoor needs. I was dealing with major foot soreness in my ski touring boots, contemplating surgery, but David was able to solve it in one modification. It completely changed my ski season and maybe my touring career..
Awesome local store. They carry quality gear at a fair price. The staff and owner are knowledgeable and very helpful.
Super friendly privately owned business
Ive been a customer for 15+ years and provide my unqualified endorsement of this shop. Great product selection, top notch staff, knowledgeable and helpful. Customer service is a priority and they are sincere and helpful - everything a good outfit should be.
Great store and nice people. Would have given 5 stars, but they seem to ignore the needs of the snowboarding community. Has a bit of a skier only feel.
This is a great local shop. Im always searching out historical places and they have a great selection of maps and knowledge. They have a very good selection of outdoor gear and they know all the local professionals. When I was looking for cross country skiing lessons, they knew the right people and I got a great instructor.
Its a nice shop with all the gear you need for multi sport outdoor adventures. The prices may be a little higher than online but the folks are really helpful. I had called just to get some info on cycling Glacier National Park and talked on the phone with a guy for quite a long time and got very useful info from a local perspective. If you are going to be near Kalispel and need some gear, check these folks out
You need any gear for any adventure? Head here, staff is excellent, gear is quality and you feel very well taken care of here! SKI CLIMBING HIKING CAMPING AND KAYAK. Fun place to get your gear fix quick!
Top notch specialty service! Bought AT skis here and they work hard to make sure you get what you want, not just what they need to get rid of. Shop service was incredibly fast and high quality. Will absolutely be back for future purchases.
Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Good selection of outdoor gear for a small shop and good prices too. The owner actually talked me out of buying something I didnt need- now how is that for good service?
Wow, what a great store with well curated, quality items for sale. Staff is VERY knowledgeable and eager to help. We were just walking by and stopped in because we love backpacking and cant pass by an outfitter without checking it out. If youre in Kalispell, please support this quality, local business!
Good selection of high end gear with friendly and knowledgeable staff.
I went into RMO yesterday looking for information on Telemark skiing which can be difficult to find. Upon walking into the store I was greeted by a staff member who pointed me towards his co-worker. I had a wonderful conversation with him! Extremely knowledgeable about everything Telemark related! Absolutely will be returning this fall to buy a new setup from these rad people!
5+ Awesome service and helpful.
One of the best sport stores in the Flathead. These guys know their stuff and some of the best rock climbers I have met either work there or have worked there at one point. Very friendly staff!
Came in looking for rock climbing books - they have a great selection of local places to climb and a lot of first hand knowledge, which I was thankful for :)
Extremely knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. They went out of their way to find us the right product for our needs. Excellent customer service.
The best local outfitters Ive ever been to. Super friendly and incredibly knowledgable. If youre in the area make sure to check them out!
Very knowledgeable and helpful staff with a classic outdoor boutique vibe. 10/10, would recommend to a friend
Great staff. Great selection. Knowledgeable, friendly people ready to help equip you for awesome backcountry fun.
Had the pleasure of conversing with RMO on the phone for a long-distance gift card deal. RMO is friendly and has excellent customer service, and I would recommend them for any outdoor need, be it gear or a gift card for an outdoor lover.
They carry a lot of high end gear, but its the expertise of the employees that keep me coming back. I especially appreciate the owners willingness to negotiate on certain items.
Such a great place, the staff is always friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is great. Everyone who works there seems pretty happy to be alive.
God bless RMO if you need real gear this is the only spot
Really helpful staff that has a lot of experience that theyre more than willing to share. Helped me get outfitted for a trip to Glacier National Park, with advice on routes and recent conditions.
Visiting Glacier Park this was the best shop we found for getting last second gear. Staff was very helpful and knowledgeable.
Great little outdoor store with an awesome staff
Small but carries high quality gear for backpacking, Rock climbing, kayaking. Friendly staff who know the sports.Good place for beta and local guide books.
Super friendly knowledgeable folks, and a great selection of high quality gear.
Had what I needed
I was greeted immediately upon entering and asked if I needed help finding anything. Being my first time in this shop I did and I was skillfully guided and walked through my options for some things I was looking for.
Great staff! Friendly and very knowledgeable 😁
RMO is a store that has been around for a long time here. I never had gone in there until this summer because I just ASSUMED it would be a high price tourist trap. I WAS WRONG! I found that they carry only high end stuff at a great price. Remember, you get what you pay for. Since then I have bought several pairs of shoes and boots and next year will be buying all of my kayaking gear from them. They also have a knowledgable staff that is very helpful. Trust me, TRY THIS PLACE BEFORE YOU BUY ANYWHERE ELSE!
The folks at RMO are the real deal. They are knowledgeable and helpful. Great place for high quality gear and good advice.
