One of the best parts of owning this business has been meeting new people and fostering relationships with customers and consignors. We are grateful to have met the Rider family in the very first few months of opening the doors. They have been incredibly supportive and a joy to see in the shop ever since...
"When we moved from Carbondale, CO 12 years ago, I couldn’t believe that a town this size, with so many outdoor opportunities, did not have an outdoor consignment shop. Little did we know that a guy who grew up just up the road from Carbondale would soon open a shop that would fill that gap in Durango. As our kids grew into and out of ski clothes, sandals, jackets (and everything else really), it has been perfect to have Chase and Jen’s shop to move them up to the next size. I can’t, admittedly, say it has just been good for the kids. My wife Jen and I have benefited from the great selection of clothes and gear at the shop and it has been an amazing place to practice “out with the old, in with the new”…well, new to us anyway. Chase, Jen, and the entire staff are so easy to work with, they’ve really created a great atmosphere where everyone feels welcomed."

Public lands need your help now. Durango Outdoor Exchange has compiled this handy list of regional organizations that you can support while federal budgets are slashed and land stewards are laid off.
We’ve all read the disappointing headlines and shocking Facebook posts, and we maybe have even encountered problems of our own–national parks and other public lands in the U.S. are being impacted by severe federal budget cuts. These cuts have resulted in locked gates, reduced services, and loss of support for these lands that mean so much to us.
This means more than longer lines at entry stations. In some cases, there is legitimate concern that budget cuts will lead to impacts on historic sites and natural landscapes. This is a scary time to be someone who dearly loves our public lands, but there are ways that everyone, including you, can make a difference.
It happens to all of us–we accumulate a few too many pairs of skis, a bike saddle we took off an old steed but never found another use for, pants we **might**have, um, outgrown, and shoes we loved but just never fit right.
It’s nice to accumulate old gear in closets and sheds, but it’s nicer to sell it. Much nicer.
Selling your used gear to Durango Outdoor Exchange is a great way to pass on the good vibes and build store credit that you can use for upgrading your quiver(s). Best of all, selling your used outdoor gear is a super chill and easy experience. Read on to learn how.
