Cabin Fever Outfitters

Stopped in to check it out, impressed by a well curated store. It's a good combination of things people actually need for outdoor activities, and little items that are fun to pick up while shopping. A wonderful collection of knives that would make most enthusiasts smile, including the multi colored opinels on the counter. I'll stop by again if I find myself in town, for now I'm enjoying the leather work gloves they were selling at a reasonable price.

Cabin Fever is a 'must go' in RBK. Cabin Fever and Steve the Owner are on the RBK vibe quality, knowledgeable, and understated essentials, and no 'salesie' here. My go to for gear, and a smart chat.

I have not been here in awhile but I did get my favorite arcteryx coat from Steve. His store has a great selection and he's a nice guy to talk to about gear and beyond. Rhinebeck is lucky to have Steve and his store. It's not easy running a physical retail business in this online environment and this one has been around for many years so you know the service and selection is fantastic. Go grab a new winter coat and dinner across the street or up the street. Lots of reasons to head to Rhinebeck.

We stumbled into this store a few weeks ago and I loved the selection of goods they had, such as camping items, clothing, candles, books, artwork, and so much more.

Wonderful place to get your outdoor gear throughout the year! Love the new location!

Visited on a whim. Will have to come back to get things for future camping trips!

My wife and I love this place. It's locally owned and the quality apparel shows. Great for personal shopping or unique gifts to bring home

Great place to find outdoor gear in the area!

A bit pricey, but I love finding some nice things on sale in off seasons! Really comfortable clothing!

great stuff, but a little pricy. Great to pick out a special gift for that outdoorsie person

Nice!

Summary: Rude Owner.

Decided to pop in to see if they carried outdoor research masks, as my boyfriends had fallen out of his pocket earlier that day and we only had one. I lent my boyfriend mine and I went in holding my scarf around my face. I was met with a rude remark from the employee behind the counter - "Ma'am...that's not going to work..." My boyfriend tried to explain we were actually there to look for a mask (as I was leaving without complaint). His immediate response was "I dont hand them out for free.... We have them for sale."

I'm not sure why we were greeted with such hostility. I was more than happy to leave, despite having a face covering. Perhaps elastic ear loops improve cloth filtering abilities. Who knows. Either way, my boyfriend was equally turned off by the encounter, and we decided to take our business elsewhere.

If you like rude owners, over priced pillows that are embroidered with "upstate", mixed in with misdirected self righteousness, this may be the place for you.

Response: Steve, I don't take issue with the fact that you wanted me to leave the store. What bothered me was how unnecessarily rude you were, within seconds of me walking in with a face covering (albeit, not a mask). In hindsight, I do agree that it would have been best for me to just wait outside, I concede to your point there.

I see you chose to replace your initial response to my comment with a nicer version. Perhaps using the same discretion in person would serve you well.

I'm bumping the star rating up a bit. The shop did look cute, and I recognize that I'm at least partially responsible for this negative encounter. Best of luck with the store.

Nice merch, and aesthetically pleasing shop, but cashier was totally antisocial and unwelcoming, which didn't encourage lingering, or return visits. Might want to rethink that hire...

Store is cool but the guy behind the counter was very rude. I completely agree with and support any business that requires masks but there is a kind way to ask someone to put a mask on or to not pull down your mask while in the store. I do understand that these are serious times and healthy safety shouldn’t be taken lightly, but the aggressive comments don’t solve what has already happened. Giving 2 stars just because it has a great selection of stuff.
