"Thank you for taking the time to contact REI and providing us the opportunity to respond. REI has not endorsed the MLPA and does not take public positions on matters of public policy or state/federal legislation without a thorough review from our Government Affairs department.
Our focus is on encouraging participation in the human-powered outdoor activities that we provide products for. While our members and customers use our gear for a variety of activities, our roots and expertise are in the areas of hiking, backpacking, bicycling, skiing, snowshoeing, paddling and climbing. Our goal is to promote and grow these activities and encourage stewardship of the lands and waters where these sports take place.
We hope you find this information useful and that REI is able to continue to serve your outdoor needs.
