Out with the old, in with the summer:
This is really a split-personality season, weather-wise and sports wise. But … around here, we love that. We’re still busting out our rock skis to carve the last few corn turns to be found. Then, on the drive home, we’re slipping on our climbing shoes and cruising the glorious crack systems of lower Little Cottonwood. It’s not even summertime, but the living is indeed easy.
And, it’s not only prime multi-sport season, but it’s also an ideal moment for gear buying and selling, too. Tons of gently-used or basically-new inventory is listed on
Geartrade’s digital shelves, spanning both warm and cold seasons, from ski jackets to bike shoes to camp cookstoves to climbing pro.
Friend, it’s time to take inventory. What do you have, what do you need, and what do you need to sell? Because whatever it is, it’s the right season.
If we’re being honest, skiing and boarding are our first loves. We like prepping ahead for the next season, taking inventory of what we’ll want to replace, repair, or upgrade gear-wise. As we clean and store our gear for next winter, we pay careful attention to our upcoming needs (and what we might want to sell off).
And if you know in advance that you want to snag a new-to-you hardshell, touring pants, lightly insulated mid-layer, gloves, helmet, or anything else, now’s the time.
All last year’s winter listings are now deeply discounted. Choose from brands like Ortovox, Spyder, The North Face, Arc’teryx, Helly Hansen, Patagonia, Mountain Hardwear, Outdoor Research, and Fjallraven.
When the first snow flies in the fall, you’ll peek out the windows psyched you laid your gear groundwork already—and at a bargain price. Your first day out shredding will be highly prepared and highly stoked.
We recently teamed up with Jackson-based
Stio to help them land the perfect home for spare products among our community. Let’s just say, they delivered, listing an incredible array of casual attire, activewear, and outerwear on
Geartrade.
Whether you’re in the market for a nice performance button-down, a year-round baselayer, a casual pair of summer shorts, puffy vest, or burly hardshell, you’ll be highly pleased to see the current goods.
The bummer: climbing shoes cost too much. The salvation: UnNew climbing shoes don’t.
We’re over the moon about the sheer volume of
rock climbing shoes (and mountaineering boots) on Geartrade right now. Whether you’re into long multi-pitch days, short sport routes, bouldering power-bursts, or ultra-technical steeps, there’s definitely a pair of climbing shoes for you on the site right now.
Do your homework and narrow down to a brand that fits you, then explore the wonderland of gently used and right-out-of-the-box climbing shoes waiting to tackle new routes with you. From La Sportiva to Scarpa to Five Ten, Black Diamond, Evolv, and Mad Rock, we have all the big names covered—and waiting for people to swoop on ‘em.
If there’s an outdoorsy (or outdoors-aspiring) kiddo in your life, you’re always on the hunt for outerwear, footwear, equipment, and casual clothes for them. We’re glad to report that, right now, there are
heaps of kids’ listings on Geartrade.
Prep for your fam’s upcoming adventures and plan ahead size-wise. You can find casual tees from Pataonia, Helly Hansen ski jackets, Obermeyer snow pants, Burton board jackets, and even cute little boardshorts from O’Neill.
Bike clothing for prime-time trail and road biking season
The trails and mountain roads are
just hitting primo temps, and it’s time to
rally. Naturally, you’d better pause and take inventory of your current rig and clothing. If it’s time for a new jersey, pair of shorts, helmet, or shoes, act quickly while there’s plenty of
UnNew goods in stock.
We’ve had plenty of helpful items come in, like packable wind shells, vests, gloves, arm warmers … you name it. You can even find accessories like repair kits, tubes, pumps, lights, and more.
We told you it would be a fruitful shoulder-season, and we mean it! Start prepping now for your fall and winter needs (at a deep discount) and get stoked for summer. Whatever your gear inventory says you need, we have it … and at a wallet-friendly, planet-friendly price.
