I went to Second Gear to begin my search for hiking equipment. I had no intention of buying anything today, I just wanted to look around. Because of the knowledge and great customer service from Jack, I now have almost everything I need to spend a week on the AT. He answered all my questions and gave me some great advice based off of his camping experience. I spent a lot of time hiking with a pack during my 22 years in the Marine Corps, but it was really nice to get some solid recommendations from Jack today. Thanks!!!

This is such a great place! I went hunting for rafting gear for my boyfriend and had no clue what to get and Colt showed me all the best things and was just incredibly helpful and patient with me not knowing anything about rafting loved my experience can’t wait to come back! Found a ten dollar rafting paddle! Like what a great price!!

My family loves Second Gear. We visit every single time we got to Asheville or the surrounding area, which is quite a lot! They have an wide selection of products, both new and used, all affordably priced. They are dog friendly and carry many different types of dog products as well. You can also consign gear there, which is a good way to give a new life to your old outdoor supplies.

I love the concept of this store, but they don’t really pull it off. I purchased a sleeping bag liner and used water 1 liter water bladder from second gear last week and they are both faulty. The sleeping bag liner had a broken zipper, and the bladder a leak. Sure, they’re used, but I’d hope that a consignment store would check for defects before selling. And sure; I could have checked more thoroughly, but sometimes it’s hard to find defects until you put them to use (such as the leak in the bladder lining!) After returning home, I looked these products up online and realized I could purchase them new, full price, for cheaper than I paid at second gear. Whaaat? Wish I’d had my phone to look up the equipment and compare prices! Really disappointing to see the price gouging, as I’d hope for better deals as a second hand shop. Might just be a slip that I got two faulty pieces of equipment, but I think the prices aren’t truly a discount like you might expect from a second hand store. ReGear (in Boone) has much better prices with the same concept, though a drive for many in Asheville. Regardless, I won’t be returning: I’ll look online for used pieces.
