That is true for some things, for sure, but I have bought petite length pants in REI store brand before -- very nice quality zip-off pants for hiking and travel. Seems like I bought some other brand pants there once that happened to come in a "short" length. And I even bought a cute Prana stretchy sundress in XS that was perfect for my height. And some of the tops are fine too. And shoes. And bike clothes. Oh hell, I've bought a lot of stuff there over the years -- equipment too. Of course, since I'm in Mexico now, just the thought of browsing through an REI makes me salivate. Can't even do online shopping here since I'd probably never get it, even IF they'd ship to Mexico. Fortunately, I had a lot of stuff sent to my mom's the last time we passed through NC.
