At Recreational Equipment, Inc. (REI), we exist to inspire and enable life outside for everyone. We believe that it’s in the wild, untamed and natural places that we find our best selves, so our purpose is to awaken a lifelong love of the outdoors, for all. Since 1938, we have been your local outdoor co-op, working to help you experience the transformational power of nature. We bring you top-quality gear and apparel, expert advice, rental equipment, inspiring stories of life outside and outdoor experiences to enjoy alone or share with your friends and family. And because we have no shareholders, with every purchase you make with REI, you are choosing to steward the outdoors, support sustainable business and help the fight for life outside. So whether you’re new to the outdoors or a seasoned pro, we hope you’ll join us.

Backcountry.com began in 1996 with two guys, a stack of avalanche beacons, and a garage in Park City, Utah. Our roots were humble, and we've grown since then, but our vision is still clear: to provide the best outdoor gear—and to be the best at doing it. We have deep roots in Utah, and we thrive on the trails and in the mountains surrounding Park City. Our corporate headquarters sits just north of old town Park City and within a quick pedal or a few footsteps of the Wasatch mountains. You can also find us playing at our other company locations in Salt Lake City, UT, Christiansburg, VA, Portland, OR, Costa Rica, and Germany. Aside from our flagship site, Backcountry.com, we operate three other specialty e-tailers (Competitive Cyclist, Motosport, and Bergfreunde.de) as well as two flash sales sites (Steep & Cheap and Whiskey Militia). At Backcountry, we value your passions just as much as your work. Much in the way that we seek out the highest performing gear on the planet, we hire the most knowledgeable and experienced employees in the industry. We offer industry-leading perks to reward a job well done. From a gear discount nearly too-good-to-believe, to boundless opportunities for workday recreation, a flexible time off policy, casual dress code, reimbursement for carpooling, and a killer lineup of local events, the list of perks is nearly endless. In addition to offering industry-leading perks, we have big-company benefits like medical, dental, vision, and disability & life insurance, paid maternity & paternity leave, and 401(k) matching to keep your family healthy and happy.

Sports Basement is a sporting-goods retailer with thirteen locations in California. We take pride in selling the best brands at basement prices. But if you’ve ever been to the Basement, you probably know that that description doesn’t really do us justice. A Hub for the Community: Sports Basement locations are a hub for local clubs, non-profits, and corporate partners. We host over 7,000 events a year, which shakes down to about 20 events per day around the Bay! Our stores in all their reclaimed glory transform into whatever the community needs them to be. We serve as meeting halls, call centers, movie theaters, art galleries, yoga studios… we could even be a wedding venue if you want. Best Brands, Basement Prices: Our buying team sources the best product from top brands, and scores us some pretty sweet deals along the way. They know what to look for in every product they’re choosing because they use it themselves. They also strive to make sure we have the best prices so that we can outfit the whole community. Our rentals, demos, deals, and more help make the outdoors more accessible for everyone. After all, they’re not just looking for the best gear, they’re looking for the best gear for our communities. Giving Back Since 1998: Ten percent of Sports Basement’s earnings are redistributed into the community through our Basementeers program, where we partner with thousands of local schools and non-profits. Through this program the community has given over 12 million dollars since our beginnings. Through it all, Sports Basement has thrived because of YOU: the California communities that support us. We strive to help those communities shine a little brighter and make our shared outdoor spaces more fun and accessible for everyone. At the end of the day we know that your gear is more than just stuff, and we're more than just a store.
