Outdoor Gear Exchange

Outdoor Gear Exchange has traded from its single independent shop in Burlington, Vermont, since 1995. It sells new and pre-owned equipment for hiking, camping, biking, skiing, climbing, paddling and trail running, and it is best known for its consignment shop, where gently used kit is inspected by staff and rated for condition before it goes on the floor. The edit leans towards outdoor and gorpcore with a sportswear streak, with labels such as Club Ride, Icebug, Lems, Evolv and Yeti Cycles on the shelves. Its online side, The Exchange, sends that same hand-vetted pre-owned stock across the country, and pre-owned orders qualify for the standard free shipping threshold.
