GT: July Gear Roundup

The sizzling July weather is here. As always around this time of year, lets all be extra vigilant about fire safety. Fortunately, summer fun is also in high gear, and we’re proud to showcase the UnNew, gently-used, surplus, and right-out-of-the-box gear currently hanging out on Geartrade waiting for its new owner—you! Whether you’re heading for the hills and climbing in the cooler alpine temps, plunging into a nice river trip, or savoring the airflow on a nice singletrack bike trail, we’ve got everything you need to get properly geared up. Check out the highlights below, and don’t forget to sell any unused goods you’ve got lying around. We make it easy to sell your gear. You’ll enjoy the extra cash you earn. Keep it, save it, or spend it on purchasing UnNew goods on Geartrade that you actually need. It’s the circle of gear life.

Footwear fit for the trails and the crags

Even the best hiking shoes, trail running shoes, approach shoes, and rock shoes wear out after a certain amount of mountain time. Since you have to replace them regularly, it helps to score a solid deal. That’s why we’re happy to report that we have tons of footwear currently listed from trusted brands like Dynafit, Scarpa, Salewa, and Black Diamond. Many of them are spankin’ new or very gently used. And, you’ll want some sandals ready when you get back to the car from your adventure, so be sure to browse our current supply of hiking sandals and casual sandals from Chaco, Teva, Olukai, and Merrell. There’s plenty in stock for both men and ladies. Women's Footwear Men's Footwear

A partnership made in UnNew heaven: Mammut

Obviously there’s plenty to be stoked about when it comes to Mammut’s goods, so we’re delighted to be featuring tons of their outerwear, insulating layers, baselayers, boots, packs, and more on Geartrade right now. Many of the items are very gently used (such as samples) and others are practically new. If you’ve needed an exceptional pair of bib shell pants for skiing, a fabulously light pair of mountaineering boots, a near-weightless climbing helmet, or brilliantly featured ski touring pack … now is the time. Snap up some Swiss engineering, and take it for a spin on your local trails and far, far beyond.

Sunglasses of every shade and style

The sunny season’s a perfect time for new shades. Since you can pick ‘em up deeply discounted on Geartrade, take inventory of what kinds of sunglasses you might need for cycling, hiking, around-town, running, or fishing. There’s a wide range of sunnies for every purpose available at the moment from brands like Smith, Oakley, Goodr, Costa, Ray Ban, and Kaenon. Women's Sunglasses Men's Sunglasses Kid's Sunglasses

Clothing you can wear around the campfire or your local brewery

While you can find tons of tech clothing on Geartrade right now, like quick-drying and breathable clothing for running, hiking, and cycling, we also have an exciting number of around-town items, too. Think plaid button-downs from Columbia, Prana, Stoic, and Patagonia. And comfy tees from brands like Jack Wolfskin, Helly Hansen, Volcom, and The North Face. There are even a number of darling lightweight summery dresses from Helly Hansen, Kavu, Jack Wolfskin, and Toad & Co. (Ladies, order these up before the Geartrade gal-staff pounce on them.)

Hats to shade your face … and hide your backpacking hairdo

When it’s blisteringly sunny out, you’ll want to pack a hat. (Or, if you’ve logged some sweaty trail time and don’t have confidence in your dirt-coiffed hair … also grab a hat.) We’re lucky enough to have quite a few summer caps here on Geartrade ranging from broad sun-shade hats to good-lookin’ about-town hats for men and ladies from Brixton, Pendleton, Pistol, and Outdoor Research.
