Second Gear is Asheville's premier outdoor gear consignment + retail shop. Shortly thereafter we moved across the street to 444 Haywood road!

Second Gear began in West Asheville, and has been the local neighborhood consignment gear shop for over ten years. We opened our doors for business in the spring of 2004 in what is now part of Harvest Records' expanded store space. Now we fully reside in the River Arts District at 99 Riverside Drive in a shared space with Asheville Adventure Company and Sugar and Snow Gelato. We've enjoyed steady

growth, and have been steadily improving our operations and systems. For example, we recently got a new web-based consignment software, which allows us to show our inventory online in real-time at www.secondgearwnc.com. This means that as items are entered into the system or marked as sold, they are reflected as such instantly on the website! With this new software it is also possible to see which store an item is located in! As a business, we strive to create a win-win-win scenario, in which our consignors, customers, and we win. Our consignors win because they find a home for their gear that they no longer need to use, and they find a good price for their items as they sell. Our customers win through the monthly discounts, in which every month something doesn't sell it gets 10% cheaper, up to the point where it could be half off! We win because we get to continue to serve the Asheville community, and like customers and consignors through our business. Our most recent growth has allowed us to consign more items, and has allowed for continued improvement of our store space and facilities. This year we expanded into a 10,000sq building in the River Arts District which we now share with Asheville Adventure Company and Sugar and Snow Gelato. The now renovated space has more square footage, higher ceilings, and more natural light - all combining to give the customer an improved experience in the shop. Come see us at 99 Riverside Drive in the River Arts District. Feel free to share feedback with us so we can continue to improve as one of Asheville's many unique small businesses. And thanks for stopping by, and/or consigning with us!

Haaaaave you met Cat?

Well if you haven't had the pleasure of her help picking out the most rad mountain bike ever, then you have at least have seen her amazing handy work from visiting our website that she expertly manages, or the killer marketing emails she sends monthly.

A valued Marketing Team member, Cat comes already with years of experience -- not only from her managing marketing at Jesse Browns, an outdoor sports store in Charlotte, but also from her extreme outdoor sports lifestyle. Because with this baddie Cat, adventure is a high she loves to chase...

Whether it's shredding any snowy mountain from Colorado to here on her snowboard, getting muddy on a mountain biking path, walking any water to fly fish, or spending the day relaxing on the lake or on a big hike, Cat is amped and ready for the thrill or the extreme chill. It's what makes her such a great source to all of you when you're looking to follow the same path. With her help, all intremidation goes away and is replaced instead with measured excitement as she pumps you up with confidence and all her insider information -- because nothing makes Cat happier than sharing that adventurous high with others. 💪

One of da boys, but definitely one of the girlies, Cat makes best friends with everyone she meets. Always beaming with a bright smile, down to clown, and a forever hype girl, you'll always feel that much lighter, loved and supported having her by your side. She's the one cheering you on trying that new trick move on the slope, or the one ready to give you the hug when you need it the most. Our team would never be the same without that infectious chill and love she brings on the daily! 💜

One year ago...

On a Camino de Santiago trail far far away in Spain...

Our teammate Rhea (left) had the most serendipitous encounter upon her and her partner's very last day of their 150 mile journey.

Caught "bahhing" at some nearby sheep, Rhea turned to explain to a passing solo Pilgrim (the name of those who walk "The Way"), that she was just trying to make friends with the fluffy locals. It was at that very moment that both ladies lit up with excitement...they both knew each other!

Not from earlier on the trail, but amazingly enough, from the month before when Rhea helped this intrepid Pilgrim pick out her backpack for the trip from here at Second Gear!

In store, they had discussed how they were going nearly at the same time, yet on different paths -- but it was fun to share the excitement of each woman's upcoming adventure. With no backpack seemingly perfect for the trip on our wall, Rhea was determined for a solution and scoured all the consignment bins in the back, which ended up producing the absolute perfect purple pack for the journey. 💜

Well, come to find out, with a few delays on the Second Gear customer's adventure, and with the two separate Portuguese paths they both were on meeting up towards the end -- magic came together over a couple of well placed sheep and an overly excited "bahhing" 2G teammate.

And just as it goes for many strangers turned friends on the Camino de Santiago, the two walked the way together for a while -- sharing stories and reveling in the amazing sequence of things that brought them together...

We love these type of stories.

For every adventure we go on, with every customer we help with that knowledge, it's like we get to go along with you all over again.

We are not just a gear shop, and we certainly do NOT consider ourselves "Sales Associates". If we don't have what you need, we don't try selling you something else, we exhaust our search in the store and then will give you the guidance to find what you need.

Because at the end of the day, we're just a bunch of outdoor adventure nerds that love to share that excitement and knowledge.

Cause who knows? Maybe we'll run into each other on the way...
