REI Vs. EMS

i've had my 4700cuin pack for 4 years now. i take it to hell and back. i have a pic on my site i think. swear by it. bought it in concord, nh. fuck rei!
 
Yeah, they do, but you've got to fight with them sometimes. They don't do shit if you're international, which made a bit of a difference for me last year w/a shit pair of boots, but otherwise they're pretty good.

And the actual gear is usually top-quality rebrands.
 
they are probably the same, here we have decathlon and shit is almost identical quality and variety wise.
I checked ems site and their prices are a bit high , comparing to rei, no ?
 
I tried to return something with the old EMS logo on it once and they wouldn't let me take it back. I got my boots from EMS however and when it comes time for new boots I'll just return my current pair and complain about them and then buy new ones with the store credit. I've done that a couple times with succcess.
