I don't like how the consignment stuff is mixed in with the regular items. And it's hardly a consignment store when everything is still soooo expensive. I can get a better deal on Facebook marketplace. Why is a pair of shoes that are new $110 priced at $80? Ridiculous. Waste of time coming here if you're looking for a good deal. Just play the Facebook marketplace game.

Goose & I came here yesterday looking for a tent & a few other things. We used to come in here all the time when we lived in West AVL on our walks. So it was cool coming back to actually buy something this time lol. Everyone is cool & we found a good used tent with a discount. If you're looking for anything outdoorsy, they will probably have it (new or used). I have a picture of the tent partially set up, but it's all there. Thanks for the super chill vibes. Y'all be good ?✅️ (dog friendly)

I have repeatedly had some of the rudest and most condescending experiences w retail staff at second gear that I have ever had in any retail setting. FTR, I have shopped at second gear many times at their various locations over the last decade or so, and I've gotten decent products at occasionally really good values, but the reason I have gone to second gear is because I cannot afford to buy high-end gear at full sticker price. Almost every single time I have asked an associate for help finding a lower-priced item to fit my budget, regardless of whether a lower-priced option is available in stock, staff has been dismissive and condescending and aggressive in trying to upsell me to something higher-end. I get that cheaply made or well-used gear is obviously not going to last as long or work as well as something newer and more expensive. Just because I can't afford top-dollar does not mean I am not experienced and knowledgable about my outdoor interests. If you can afford to spend top dollar, just save yourself the rude service and go to REI instead. If you can't afford it, try Sierra online or maybe just craigslist and save yourself the insulting attitude of elitist snobby gear gurus.

I have been shopping and consigning at Second Gear since they were located next to Harvest Records. Staff has always been friendly and efficient. Like any second hand store, what you find will vary from day to day. I can also say, they are selective (in a good way) about what they will take for consignment.

My wife and I love with this store, and whenever we're in Ashville we always stop by there. I've found some great deals on camping & hiking gear, and the staff have always been very friendly and helpful.

Had to come and leave a review for Connor. So helpful and knowledgable. This store is great. Best outdoors store in Asheville hands down.

I have spent thousands at this store over the course of almost 2 decades. Recently, I was accused of stealing (by a manager) when I went to the bathroom with my own jacket in my arms. I'll never shop there again after this

Such a great shop. We were looking for a baby hiking carrier and DMed them on Instagram to see if they had any. Within a few minutes, they sent us a link to what they had in stock. We popped over, tried one out and bought it for such an amazing price! They had so many other nice things in there too. Definitely recommend checking them out! Thanks for the amazing service!

Ryan and Mitch are great guys at the Asheville 2nd Gear store. They went above and beyond to help me with a consignment issue. This is a great store to shop in for anybody. It's clean and well organized. Parking is good-front and back of the store. The location is very easy to find.

Second Gear is my go to shop for everything outdoor. They always have a great selection of consigned clothing, gear, and equipment. They also keep a good rotation of new items in too. Second Gear is incredibly fair with taking consignment which makes it such a good option for selling your old gear or clothing. They have monthly nonprofit partners too! I love that they recently added their online shop with makes it even easier to find what I'm looking for. Be sure to sign up for their email list for special coupons to and know when all the best sales are! I will always shop Second Gear first for myself and for gifts! Thanks for being here guys!
