GT: October Gear Roundup

It’s here! Fleece season! Beanie season! Leaf appreciation season! Hot toddy season! Dress-your-dog-up-as-a-pumpkin season! We hope you’re as stoked as we are for fall’s full arrival. It appears so, as y’all are sending in consignment gear and posting listings at rapidfire pace, taking full advantage of the tail end of biking, climbing, and hiking season … and ramping up strong for winter. Amid the waves of summer gear selling off and winter gear rolling in, there are some incredible deals just waiting for the right people to snap ‘em up and take their UnNew gear into the wild. Here are a few highlights you should know about.

All things Jack Wolfskin

You may or may not have heard of this outdoor brand making outstanding outerwear, active-casual wear, packs, tents, and sleeping bags—they’re a little new to the U.S. But the Jack Wolfskin brand has a 40-year legacy in Europe, with roots in Germany. Not only is their quality beyond top-notch, but they also place a strong priority on responsible, sustainable sourcing and manufacturing. They’re impeccably thoughtful about every detail, such as using recycled materials, banning harmful PFCs, and rejecting inhumane practices like the use of fur and angora wool. If you’re thinking, “Hmm, these guys sound pretty rad,” you’re right—they are. And they have a massive pile of fantastic clothing, backpacks, boots, and ski/snowboard outerwear on Geartrade right now. Yep—performance layers, snowsport jackets, cushy fleeces, insulating puffies, and fun apres items like skirts and button-downs. We’ve also got quite a few Jack Wolfskin packs and bags, ranging from overnight backpacking packs to smaller travel bags and messenger bags. Check them out. You won’t be disappointed.

Biking accessories (mountain and road cycling alike!)

Whether you’re a road cycling aficionado or a dirt trail person through and through, you know how much accessories make a world of a difference in your day. When you have the right shoes, well fitting gloves, sporty-light sunglasses, stylish ‘n’ safe helmet, and tool kit, your ride is all the better. Bike shops are notoriously spendy places to hang out, so we highly suggest finding these goods UnNew on Geartrade. We seriously have everything you could ever need for biking, often between 30-70% off, from every brand in the book—Specialized, Giro, Oakley, Dakine, Smith, Pro Bike Gear, Lezyne, and many more. Prices are low right now and inventory is high, as people (and gear manufacturers) everywhere are unloading extra goods now that fall is here. It’s time to swoop! You'll be stoked come spring.

All shoes, all types, all seasons

So. We find ourselves awash in shoes. Everything from trail running shoes to hiking boots, climbing shoes, approach shoes, mountaineering boots, river sandals, winter boots, and even rain boots. For men, women, and kids … and even dogs. If you wore down your hiking shoes, trail running shoes, or hiking/river sandals this summer, scoop some fresh ones up now at a deep discount so you’ll be all set come spring. The same goes for climbing shoes and mountaineering boots. And, it’s time to start thinking about your winter footwear needs. Do you have a great pair of waterproof boots you can use for everything from snowshoeing to snow shoveling to wintry trail walks with the dog? Time to get crackin’ and stock up on a pair. We have an exceptional supply of UnNew shoes right now—including lots of hardly-worn samples from suppliers. You’ll find brands like Salewa, Adidas, Dynafit, Hoka, La Sportiva, Black Diamond, Merrell, The North Face, Sorel, and many others. Men's Footwear | Women's Footwear | Kids' Footwear | Dogs

Ski and snowboard clothing from outerwear to inner layers

Last season’s leftovers are this season’s treasure—that’s how we feel about it, anyway. Tons of exceptional ski and board outerwear was listed last spring and just hasn’t sold yet. That includes puffies, ski and board jackets, shell pants, softshells, puffies, insulating fleeces, touring-specific layers, and gloves … A bevvy of goodness, in earlier seasons’ colors. We’re keen to dig in ourselves, as these goods are now marked down at upwards of 60-70% off. You’ll find items from the likes of Stio, Helly Hansen, Jack Wolfskin, Armada, Serius, Ortovox, Dynafit, Burton, and Black Diamond. All great stuff, and all at a price you can’t pass up as you count down the days till winter. Have a blast browsing all the wondrous UnNew goods on Geartrade right now … We’re excited and honored to be helping everyone gear up for the upcoming seasons and doing so in high style.
