At REI, We Believe a Life Well Lived is Spent Outside! A good life is spent outside, and we work to spread the gospel of the great outdoors to all. Since 1938, we've been on a mission to help people harness the power of nature. We accommodate everyone with high-quality equipment and clothing, knowledgeable advice, and equipment rentals. Our team also collects and shares stories that inspire us to get outside or deliver a dose of nature in another form. We're a Co-op, so when you buy from REI, you're making an investment that enables the preservation of the environment, ensures responsible business, and fights to protect life outdoors. Join us, and take the step towards the life you were meant to live. Visit REI Santa Monica, a store just one block from the 3rd Street Promenade, for gear and clothing for hiking, paddling, climbing, biking, and fitness. The bike shop at Santa Monica offers a range of services that will keep you riding and rolling all year. Ensure your ski and snowboard equipment is relocated into its rightful state before hitting the slopes with our ski shop services. We also have friendly workers ready to help outfit you for the next classic adventure in all the different departments.
