Second
Gear, Asheville's answer for affordable outdoor gear, held its last day of
sales in their downtown location on Sunday, January 4, 2015. In 2015
Second Gear will continue to serve Asheville's outdoor community through their
West Asheville location at 444 Haywood Rd. Second Gear offers a way for
consignors to get excellent rates for "recycling" their
lightly-used kayaks, canoes, bicycles, outdoor clothing, hiking boots, and
camping equipment. Discerning outdoor enthusiasts can get quality used
gear without paying full retail prices.
Second Gear has grown steadily within the West Asheville
community for over ten years. Over that time period Second Gear has
written $1.5 million in consignment checks to their more than five thousand
consignment partners.
"This consolidation represents a recognition of where our
customers are and where they prefer to shop" said managing partner Eric
Smythers. "With so much growth and energy focused on West Asheville
in general and our section of Haywood Road specifically, we're simply putting
our time, energy, and staff where they are best invested."
Along with used gear, Second Gear also carries a selection of
new items including guidebooks, maps, disc golf equipment, climbing gear,
and an array of dealer samples at low prices.
Second
Gear is conveniently located at 444 Haywood Rd in West Asheville, just off of
I-240 with free parking. Second Gear is locally owned and operated and is
a certified Living Wage employer.
