GT: AUGUST GEAR ROUNDUP

It’s the height of summer, friends, and here at Geartrade we’re working fast and furious like a bunch of elves in an UnNew workshop, getting valuable outdoor clothing and equipment into the hands of folks like you. Our consignment program and list-it-yourself sales are humming along, and nothing makes us happier than saving the planet while saving you money, keeping gently used and hardly-used gear out of the landfill and in the hands of adventurists who will use it. A few product categories are really shining in the spotlight now. The full heat of the season is on, and we’re all savoring our favorite summer sports, from mountain biking to trail running, climbing, bouldering, river-tripping, and more. And we’re relishing the deals here on Geartrade that let us up our game without sapping our wallets. Here are a few of the products we’ve got in abundant supply right now, ready for you to take ‘em home.

Shop the drop: ORTOVOX SWISSWOOL

If there’s anything we love around here at Geartrade, it’s gear made to last. We also happen to have a high appreciation for gear that’s smartly engineered. And with ORTOVOX, those two things go together. This is one of the Geartrade communities favorite brands and we just recently received a new shipment of your favorite ORTOVOX touring packs, outerwear and more just in time for Fall. This inventory always moves fast so check it out before it's gone.

Camp chairs: Our favorite for lounging

Everyone needs camp chairs–beefy ones for fall tailgating, light foldable ones for camping and backpacking, two-seaters for lovebirds and drink-sharers, or a packable stool for the simplicity-minded. Whatever sort of chair you’re in the mood for, you can probably find it here on Geartrade, nice and UnNew. Up your campout game with chairs from brands like Yeti, Mountainsmith, Thermarest, ALPS Mountaineering, LaFuma, and more. And don't forget Camp Tables like this one here by Alps Mountaineering or here by UST.

All things climbing: Round out your kit

We know, we know—climbing gear costs so much at full price that by the time you’ve accumulated all the basics, you no longer have money to hop in the car and drive to the crag. We hear you, which is why we’ve made a point of getting lots of great climbing gear listed, really covering all the basics and then some. Here, you can find a wide array of climbing shoes for every type and style of climbing, plus never-before-used ropes, as well as harnesses, pro, slings, draws, and all the little accessories that make a rock day better. We even have a few portaledges floating around on the site right now for those looking to step into big wall lyfe.

Backpacks: Can you have too many?

We’ll admit it. We’re big backpack collectors ourselves. When you get ‘em UnNew, it’s hard to resist getting a pack for every purpose, from hiking hydration packs to big backpacking packs, cycling bags, trail running vests, and everything in between. If you’re a backpack nerd like us, you have a solid idea of the exact size, specs, and features you want in your next pack. And even if you’re just browsing, you can find some amazing goodies at a fraction of retail. Snap up a light new day-hiking pack, climbing pack, or oversized expedition pack, just because you can. Right now, we’ve got brands like Patagonia, Kelty, The North Face, Osprey, Gregory, Atlas, and more just waiting for you. As always, tag us in your UnNew gear pics on the trails and in town … we love seeing these goods out there in the world where they belong, not taking up space in a dusty closet or, worse, a landfill.
