Never ordered from you before. Best price, seemed too good to be true. But perfect ski gear arrived faster than expected and all around a great purchase, thanks.
This review is specifically for Matt at the Baton Rouge location. This guy went beyond the extra mile for me when I had a major issue with a tent. For 4 months we stayed in touch while he worked with the tent company rep to ultimately resolve the issue. Whatever good can be done for Matt…he deserves it!! He displayed …
Ordered the wrong size and they are very accommodating to make the switch! Great experience!
The customer service here is fantastic! Sean M was incredibly helpful with my snow goggle order. Unfortunately, I received a case with no goggles inside and when I went back to the site, they were out of stock.

I shopped at the Baton Rouge location for years and am happy to have one in Mandeville. I love the products and the store! On a recent trip to the store an employee, Mahkai, was very informative and super friendly. I will recommend this location to everyone I know.

Now THAT is service!!! Awesome guys, Awesome kayak, Awesome company! I can’t say enough good about The Backpacker!!!

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 …
I bought a vest that I loved which unfortunately got a rip. They were amazing to work with and got me a replacement after having it for less than a year. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!
