Summer is here and folks are ready to get outside! With the new recommendations of social distancing, more people are trying out new-to-them outdoor activities than ever before. And a great way to try a new sport, is with used, more affordable gear. They can make sure they love it and then invest in upgrades and dial in their preferences.
If you've recently upgraded or you just have used gear collecting dust, we are here for you! You can sell your old gear and make money back for your next adventures! We make the process of selling used gear and apparel simple. No appointment necessary, just swing by anytime we are open. Currently Monday through Saturday, 9am-7pm. One of the consignment managers will talk you though the details and one quick piece of paperwork. If you have prices you hope to get back on an item, we will discuss it with you and do our best to get you the best return we can. We do keep our shop seasonally relevant so right now, we are only accepting summer related gear and apparel. Skis and boots will start rolling in around September 1st. Not too much longer winter lovers!
So bring in those old hiking boots, kayak you've got in storage, and the one out of five bikes we all have after years of living in Durango. Make someone's day with a great deal and save your time an energy by letting us do the work for you!
The time’s come. You’ve got your lightweight backpack, a comfy sleeping bag (of quilt), a sleeping pad that doesn’t (yet) leak air, a cool tent, a nifty little stove, and a hankering to get out and use it all. Let’s go!
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.
