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

TOP 5 REASONS TO SHOP SECOND GEAR ⛰️❤️

Countdown style... 😎 

#5: We believe great gear deserves a second chance.

Every jacket, pack, paddle, and pair of boots has stories left to tell. Keeping gear in use means less waste, more adventures, and a little extra love for the planet. 🌎

--

#4: Your old gear can fund your next adventure.

Whether your kids outgrew it, you're looking to upgrade, or it's just collecting dust, consignment helps turn unused gear, apparel and footwear into extra cash while helping someone else get out on their next adventure! 🏕️

--

#3: The deals have deals. 😂

Every month, consignment items get marked down even further on the 1st -- then stack on top of that any 'Deals of the Week' or 'Flash Sales' and you could be saving up to 70% off already discounted gear!! 

Sometimes we watch people walk out with armfuls of amazing finds and wonder...did we just pay them to shop here? 💸

--

#2: We're a gear shop, but people are the best part. ❤️

Whether you're planning an epic thru-hike, a family camping trip, your very first paddle, or just need a warm jacket for a mountain evening, we genuinely love helping people get outside.

No adventure is too big. No adventure is too small.

Our goal is simple: make sure everyone feels welcome, comfortable, and excited about wherever they're headed next.

Even if it's just to go grocery shopping at Earth Fare next door... 🥰

--

And #1: The magic is real. ✨

If you've never been to Second Gear, it's hard to explain.

One minute you're "just looking."

The next minute you've found the exact piece of gear you've wanted for years, somehow in your size, somehow in great condition, and somehow at a price that makes you do a double take.

It happens every day.

--

So if you've never visited us before, this is your sign.

Come say hello. Meet the team. Browse the racks. Hunt for treasure.

Who knows? Your next favorite piece of gear might already be here waiting for you.

With all our love,

The Second Gear Team ❤️

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! 💜

So please, join us in wishing everyone's bestie adrenaline pumping baddie Cat, a most wonderful and adventure filled birthday today!! 🎂

WE LOVE YOU CAT, HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOVE!!
