we're giving gear a second life
WE WANT TO CREATE A MORE SUSTAINABLE, ATTAINABLE OUTDOOR EXPERIENCE FOR EVERYONE
CONSIDER THIS: 85% of clothing ends up in landfills or gets incinerated 1, when these items end up in landfills, the chemicals from the textiles can seep into the surrounding area’s groundwater2. Petroleum-based plastics can take more than a hundred years to decompose3.
The most sustainable item you can buy is one that is already in use. That’s why we aim to keep gear on the trails and out of the landfills.
HOW DO WE GET GEAR BACK ON THE TRAILS?
RECEIVE
We buy secondhand gear from individuals and brands
REVIEW
We look over every item we receive to assess quality and condition
REFRESH
We wash and repair as needed to make sure each item is ready for its next adventure
RESELL
We sell that gear to get in the hands of outdoor enthusiasts like you
MEET THE ARCTIC TERN
Earth's champion of migration, embarking on an annual odyssey between the polar extremes, the tern is a testament to resilience. It’s born with the endurance to withstand both short and grand voyages.
In many ways, the essence of the Arctic Tern mirrors our purpose - keeping outdoor gear circulating longer.
Just as the Tern undertakes its annual migration, so does our gear. A journey
defined by the attraction of the unknown and marked by shifts and occasional diversions along the path. Our interpretation of the Arctic Tern involves a backward glance, a symbol of a journey fulfilled, reminiscing on past adventures while positioned to pivot forward, embarking on a fresh chapter of exploration.
