My partner and I just picked up touring set ups from Fresh Air and the service was amazing. Devon was so attentive and honest with his advice. I could not have asked for a better experience. Fresh Air your customer service has never disappointed.

I went to so many stores to find sneakers that I liked and that my feet liked... nothing had what I was looking for and I was frustrated! I drove past fresh air one day, and remembered how great my bike tune up experience was there, so I stopped on a whim. I left 5 minutes later with the perfect pair of shoes and perfect service. I’ve recommended it to everyone I’ve encountered since! Now Fresh Air will be my FIRST stop every time I’m looking for outdoor gear/active wear.

Jonny white is awesome. We came in for ski boots for my daughter and instead of trying to up sell us he fitted her for a boot rental skis and poles for less than half the price of a new pair of boots. He is kind and patient and caring. No more complaining about sore feet!! Thank you

Fresh air provided excellent and prompt service despite being incredibly busy during Covid. I am from out of town and had issues with my bike, which pretty much rendered my trip useless as it was supposed to be involving a lot of riding
Fresh air was able to assist me and resolve my issue - as well as provide professional and friendly customer service.
