My teenage daughter needed a backpack for a 6 day trek this August. Eric at Jax in Lafayette spent over an hour with us finding exactly the right fitting backpack. Having a correctly fit pack made a huge difference in how much she enjoyed the trip (a lot) and her willingness to plan another trip (very). I dont know of any other place whose employees have the knowledge and time to help the customers select their gear. This is the very best place!
Mike is a great manager. As is the young woman behind the counter in Archery - Equestrian, Competitive Mountain Bike Rider, and back country guide, color me impressed.Jim is also a great manager across S. Boulder Rd., and Rick in OPE is very helpful. If you want to stay local I highly recommend you shop here.Finally, Bill in cycling is a great mechanic...Now, please save a steel Fat Tire Mountain Bike for my next visit!Where is my helmet?Ride and Drive safe folks...Please .
Super friendly staff (thank you Jonathan in footwear tonight) and top quality merchandise. Pricey, but not over inflated - fairly represents the quality brands sold here.
John was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. He helped me make an informed purchase and was clearly interested in providing me with knowledge, while not being a pushy salesperson. Great experience, would highly recommend!
Always great service, awesome inventory, good prices - just a pleasant shopping experience all around.
Good store, not so great bike shop. Called in asking if I need an appointment for a simple derailer adjustment. They said no thats a quick job. Bring my bike in and the tech says 10 to 15 min wait. Feel free to browse around the shop. Waited 40min. Ask for an update. Original tech gone, some new guys tells me its gonna be 30min. So I sat outside for 1hr 10min to get a simple detailer adjustment. Lol I think I will go somewhere else next time.
If you need help making a decision, or need professional advice on outdoor equipment, nothing beats Jax. Surprisingly great prices too. Huge Amy surplus section with some great stuff too.
Great warm and friendly staff. Weather your a seasoned outdoors person or just getting it to it. These people are patience and kind. They are willing to help you to find what you need for your next travel.
Great service at the gun counter. Knowledgeable and friendly. We love Jax!
Great customer service. These guys stand by their products. Had a Jax brand fly box that broke and they took it back no questions asked.
I could spend days in this place without getting bored. Such great unique selection and friendly staff.
Best store ever! I wish we had JAX in Northern California!
Always amazing! These guys have a great selection of everything from climbing gear to military surplus and anything else you need to get outside!
Best outdoor store in the area. Has everything for all you hiking, climbing, fishing, camping, running, cycling needs.
The guys who work here are very helpful and freindly, And gave me lots of assistance.
A very diverse collection of outdoor gear for sale. Like a mini REI but with a local flavor. Many Colorado produced goods in this store. All high-quality goods. The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. The goods are at a premium but they are not cheaply made Chinese goods. One can buy propane here too.
Went in to buy a pair of Keen shows. I know they are ugly but once you start wearing them your feet don’t like anything else. I had checked on line and Jax price was within a dollar. Got in the store and they were also 30% off. Very one was very friendly and helpful. Love this store.
Helpful staff, good selection of quality gear, always love shopping at all the jax stores
I get all of our camping and hunting gear here. Staff is great. Support the local companies.
Kathryn and Paula did an excellent job helping me. Great customer service. Ill definitely be back, give them a raise!
If I could give them a zero i would. Research what they tell you over the phone, youre not getting expert advice.
Always a great place. Friendly customer service and such a great variety of stuff.
This place has amazing deals, worth the drive from Southwest denver
Nice place, but didnt have what I needed.
F u jax. Drove from longmont just to find out.you close at 5pm. What a joke. No more shopping at jax anywhere for me.
Very friendly and lots of stuff. Some military Surplus stuff! And they have extra building across intersection
This is a great place to shop for your outdoor adventure needs. Staff is friendly and helpful. Jared informed me that they provide rentals of watercraft like SUPs and kayaks. On expensive gear like that, try before you buy is definitely a good idea. New organization of the gear area seems more intuitive and easier to navigate than before. It seems like they are actually able to stock more stuff than before, although thats just my unscientific observation. Either way, a great place to get gear in Lafayette along 287. No need to make the trek to Boulder or Denver for a good selection of quality gear.
Better than bass pro or cabelas
Great store.
Fantastic Bike shop and Fishing store. My first go to for both of those.
Needed a special bike part, the technicians there helped me out tremendously.
I came in one Saturday a few weeks ago and witnessed an elderly cashier screaming at a young lady most likely under the age of 20 (presumably another cashier), this is extremely unprofessional and I very much hope that the older employee was terminated for this behavior. This business has been on thin ice with me for a while with how employees act (they appear to be burnt out and overworked, they do their jobs well), lack of knowledge for products, and I’ve heard a lot that this store has a high turn over. They are still trying to convince the community that this is a “local business”, which they are now not with two out of state locations. Products are sold at an extremely high mark up, they back this up saying that it’s to guarantee quality. Isn’t that the job of the manufacturer? After that interaction with the cashiers right upon entering the store I really don’t think I will be back, I’d rather pay a shipping fee on an expensive product than witness that behavior again.
Great selection of disc golf discs
One of my favorite sporting goods stores for a wide variety of items.
If you like outdoor sports gear, this is a place to go! Great selection and good prices! The staff is very knowledgeable and its just a cool place to be!
The best outdoor shop in Colorado.
This place is sweet.Fishing Gear - CheckGuns - CheckCamping Gear - CheckBike Shop - CheckDog Gear - CheckBoots - CheckFrolf Discs - CheckParachutes? - Check
I went in looking for a sight. Found a high quality sight but cost was more than one I had reviewed elsewhere. A woman named Brandi was very helpful and even offered classes in using handguns for women. Very friendly & knowledgeable. Love Jax, great selection of outdoor supplies, and more.
Everyone in the bike shop was super helpful. I went in to put fenders in my bike thinking it would be a quick and easy process, but it turned out to be a bit more difficult than expected. The mechanics worked hard to install them as best and quick as they could. Im very grateful for their help. Thanks guys!!
The staff here is exceptional. We have purchased lots of fishing equipment as well as other sporting goods and the service is excellent.
We came today for a new bow for my son. We were very impressed with the archery department. There was a much bigger selection than the larger chain stores we had previously visited. Staff was awesome! They took their time and answered all our questions, never aggressively trying to upsell us. Great experience.
Love this place! Staff is always helpful, with a broad knowledge base. They also know how to leave people alone to peruse. Great selection of options in just about any outdoor topic you would ever think of.... Army surplus!, archery, knife and gun and fishing arts, camping (candy store,!) shoes, clothing cookware books, etc. Etc. Etc. Its worth the trip!
Great place, didn’t raise prices during pandemic.
Awesome store, a must stop if in Lafayette or Boulder. Staff is incredibly helpful and kind. Especially the guys in the bike shop answered all my questions, and help me find the perfect bike. Awesome store and awesome people!!!
One of my favorite places to shop for outdoorsy items. Top gear and good quality. Always super helpful also.
Has everything you have ever wants, needed and things you never knew you needed. Great staff that are knowledge. Awesome selection.
Great prices
The selection here is good and the products they carry are generally high quality. The service is great, someone is always available to assist you. I think this is a good place to go if you need guidance on what gear you need or the pros and cons of different pieces. You pay for that . Their prices are not the lowest. If youre a seasoned outdoors person, you can find similar gear elsewhere at better prices.
Worst customer service ever. Dont even bother going here.
Absolutely LOVE both stores. Having lived in East County for 27 years, having Jax come to town was a huge gift. Newbies dont know how we used to have to drive 20 minutes away to get what they carry. I try and do all my home, garden, sporting goods, camping, shopping here. They have great products, are fair priced and they are a local Colorado company. But one of the things I really like about Jax is how the employees love the owner. Hes one of the most decent business people a person can meet.
This place is an amazing gem of a Colorado outdoor gear store!! Youll be surprised how many brands of boating, camping, hiking, hunting, fishing, & yard work gear they offer. And they are all smiles to answer ad many questions as you have.
Nice store. My husband is 65 and has been looking for a day pack for 6 months. Because of height it has been very difficult to one that fits and is comfortable. He found one at Jax. Even on line he could not find one that fit. We would highly recommend this store. Not only did they have the pack but knowledgeable sales people and weight to put in it to see how it felt.
They have an amazing super friendly, super helpful staff. Along with an outstanding bike shop.
Great selection of hiking and camping gear as well as knowledgeable and friendly staff.
It was really good to pray for that I really kind and they help you with everything you need
Excellent experience. The woman in the shoe department was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I was looking for a pair of comfortable hiking boots, and she helped me find a perfect fit. Great customer service, nice selection and competitive prices. Highly recommended.
Excellent store and service. Staff were super friendly and knowledgeable.
Better Sporting Good shops and Cabelas and Bass Pro and honesty can great selection
I have been going out of my way to take my bike to Jax bike shop due to the excellent customer service and friendly staff. Special thanks to Richie for allways going above and beyond to take care of my bike and cycling needs!
Jax is a really cool outdoor/sporting goods store, offering well selected, yet somewhat diverse brands. They have a great selection of bicycle and other outdoor gear; definitely reflecting the range of Colorado interests. Mixed in, I often find interesting things I dont see in similar stores, e.g. sky watching equipment and kids outdoor tech toys.Jax is a real gem in Lafayette, especially when you consider the separate Jax Farm and Hardware store across on the south side of S Boulder Road.
Had out of state visitors that wanted a few souvenirs . Not a huge selection but we found some things that fit the bill and was close to the house
While I very much disagree with the policy that their employees cannot have dyed hair, (come on, do you know what year it is?) this is a great place for outdoor gear. Mostly I would like to comment on the customer service. I got a new bow for Christmas but the string was too small. I took it over to Jax and they set me up with the right string. However one of the ends (its a three part recurve bow) did not get put back in the package. I didnt realize this until months later when the weather was good for shooting. I went back to the store and they had held on to the part! The man that helped me in the archery department was very nice and I was so happy that they made an effort to hold on to the missing part. Thank you for great customer service!
Jax is my go to store for anything fishing/hiking/camping related. The guys in each department are knowledgeable and and provide insight and actually answer questions. The prices are reasonable, and the selection is great. I love the Army Surplus selection as well.
Very friendly staff and a good selection. They even have an archery range that you can use your own or you can rent equipment. This was actually a fun time for the family and of course we picked up a few camping supplies while we were here.
Very helpful staff. Definitely liked the customer service.
They have a great variety of stuff: camping gear, outdoorsy books, bikes, kayaks, games for kids, clothing, firearms and cookware. They have a propane filling station instead of exchanging which is nice. Prices are usually good but not exceptional but it is a local store which is nice. They also have 3 EV charging spots out front.
Everyone is very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable. Ive had a lot of activity in the bike shop over the last few years and theyve stood behind their work.
Was accused of having Monopoly money and rude service I’m a regular paying customer there and most likely won’t be back
Totally awesome, friendly clerks were very helpful in helping me find what I was looking for. Thank you.
The staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Their gun selection is not as big as their store on 120th, however, they are always willing to bring in whatever you want.They always have great sales and the prices are reasonable. We live close and its our go to outdoors store!
Fishing department is top notch. Usually dont have crazy sales or liquidation stuff like other big stores, but the prices are good to begin with and they have what works IN COLORADO, not a wall full of destination lures based on what works elsewhere in the country. Mike is very knowledgeable and honest.
Love Jax! They have what youre looking for and they things you didnt know you needed until you walked in.
Friendly, knowledgeable staff. They let you shop/browse without bothering you constantly.
Great outdoor gear store. Quality brands and gear you dont find at other stores. Knowledgeable and friendly staff.
I didnt get a picture but I found what I was looking for. I spent my time in the fishing be department. The person who waited on me was very nice, friendly and helpful.
Great store. Always friendly people.
Beautiful day for Archery. Always enough lanes, and they have super friendly staff store wide.
Awesome people. They really bring a great feel to the place. Get ready for your next adventure!!
Great staff. Frank in the archery range is an incredibly nice, personable and knowledgeable field expert. I like the higher quality inventory Jax typically sells and their prices are very reasonable.
Lafayette is lucky to have Jax! Huge selection, helpful service. Love shopping here for gifts or any outdoor activity needs!
Great equipment. Staff is very helpful
Wonderful archery staff and range. Archery shop sells and services Mathews compound bows and Sage recurves. Staff is very kind, helpful, and knowledgable--I dont trust anybody else to work on my compound. The archery range is outdoor but with covered shooting positions and both sides are blocked off to reduce wind. Distance is 13 yards and theres 10 shooting positions. My daughter got into archery via their kids classes; highly recommended!
Best, and really only, hunting supply store in the immediate area. The staff are all very helpful, and they carry a good variety of products.
No wonder CPW is going to electronic for tag purchases because actual human beings at a store where you interact with someone to make a purchase cant even hear probably and mess up your tag purchase and may even mess up your whole hint because of a human error. Thanks hunting section for not understanding the difference between over the counter and leftover oh wait my bad not listening and rushing the purchase then putting all the blame on the customer. Terrible service and to think I put a sticker of your company on my car, smh.
Great, helpful and knowledgeable staff. They can answer all your tenkara fixed line fly fishing questions!
Jax is an amazing store with incredibly helpful staff. I just bought a new pair of boots here. Despite the smaller size of the store, I liked their selections better than REI or Cabelas. Id highly recommend this store to anyone.
Visited the bike shop. Very helpful staff, (Bill), always willing to answer questions
Extra large hunters and clothing areas, still a decent choice of tents and camping supplies
Good place I get my bow serviced here the guys are really good at what they do and gals!
Really friendly workers all very knowledgeable and helpful, great selection!
Great staff, very knowledgeable and very helpful, and also friendly. Ive always had a good experience at jax.
Gary is and always very good in helping me with Photography needs . My go to guy . Numerous Cameras and accessories bought thru him for myself and family members .
The great selection that most Jax have as well as a little bit more great store will be going back again. As well as my old teacher works there which is kind of cool.
Best outdoors store, local, always willing to give advice. Love the fishing department, Mark has given me great spot, season, equipment and technique advice that has been spot on!
Great selection of lures and other fishing gear. Also has live bait!
