Imagine if REI and TJ Maxx had a baby.

That baby might look like Sierra, the new outdoor-focused discount store in Kirkwood, Missouri.

You never know what you’ll find at a place like Sierra.

Here’s what several staff members at River City Outdoors — and one dog — scored on a recent visit.

Adidas Puremotion Jacket ($25)
Reiss Wegman picked up this moisture-wicking top, which is perfect whether you’re slamming medicine balls, running a 5k, or standing in front of a brick wall.

Prana Wonderland Rocks Pant ($30)
Brad Kovach grabbed these versatile, four-way stretch pants, which easily move from backcountry hikes to early-morning commutes to the office.

 

(Reiss Wegman)

High Sierra 12-in-1 Multi-Tool ($10)
Need a knife, bottle opener, fish scaler, can opener, corkscrew, or Philips screwdriver for your next camping trip? Chris Geden’s new multi-tool has all these, plus six more things.

 

(Reiss Wegman)

Billabong Fleece Jacket ($25)
I added some pizzazz to my wardrobe with this relaxed-fit polar fleece. It’s a plush layer that’s ideal for Casual Fridays and weekend adventures.

 

(Reiss Wegman)

Smartwool Everyday Athletic Sock ($13)
Jarrid Snyder selected these low-ankle socks with targeted cushioning for comfort without the bulk. They’ll serve him well on bike rides, river paddles, and sales calls.

 

(Reiss Wegman)

Origin by Nat Cardozo ($15)
Sierra isn’t exactly Barnes & Noble, but Matt Green found this gem: an illustrative look at the lives of 22 Indigenous young people, from Inuit to Cherokee.

 

(Reiss Wegman)

GF Pet Alpine Puffer ($15)
Susy Bayne’s pup, Potato, will stay snuggly warm on chilly walks thanks to this coat, which has sherpa lining and Velcro fasteners for easy fitting. (Good boy.)
