  Didn't believe me, caused a bike tire blowout, turned a ~$20 repair into an $84 repair that took twice as long. Only good thing was the repair guy who worked hard to get a good replacement

  Amazing rates and helpful student employees. I’m so glad this is available to families and not just students. Such a valuable community resource.

  The ORC is awesome! So much great equipment at awesome prices. The staff there has always been helpful and friendly. Just be aware— it can be very, very difficult to get a hold of them via phone because they are so busy. If you are local, it’s really better to just go in and make your reservations. We have rented the bumper balls, giant twister, flag football, skis for downhill and x-country and more.

  ADVICE: Great place to buy! Good in person service. And only rent what is absolutely needed for your trip. Finally always get your receipt!! Just in case. Preface: This review is the result of almost a year of renting different things from the ORC. Different seasons, types of gear, and different people I have met while there, so I hope it helps. GEAR: 9/10 All of the gear I have both bought and rented from here has been fantastic! They try really hard to only get good quality stuff which really does make a difference out doors! If you are buying from them it’s a really good choice! ONLINE: 6/10 This is when things don’t seem to go as well. There have been times when I’ve called and never gotten a response on the phone. Their website is more of a catalog which has decent picture which is helpful, but their gear reservation process is confusing and there have been times when I reserved gear, but they had over rented. IN-PERSON: 5/10 This is where I have had the most issues. Sometimes you will meet the most amazing people ever! I’ve had times where I knew an activity I wanted to do and they gave me some great advice on what to do or how to do it! Another time though I was late by one hour in returning my gear and was then charged an additional full day (It turned out to be an extra $50, so that wasn’t fun) Another time I walked in and there was nobody their, so I waited for about 10min and still nobody there and ended up just leaving.
