GT: March Gear Roundup 

March goods are dropping like spring pow, and we are here for it. Thanks to everyone listing and consigning their seasonal goods, there’s a glorious supply of outdoor clothing and equipment ready for you to snap up and bring on your adventures, wherever they take you.

Here’s a little sampler of some of the items we’re most excited about.

Spring apres-ski supplies 

It’s parking-lot tailgate season, and you know what that means. Camp chairs, portable grills, coolers, funky sunglasses, and your finest party-ski attire.

You can find all of the above gently used—or even still in its original packaging—here on Geartrade, plus one little-known secret. If you search for vintage ski stuff on the site, you can often find amazing one-piece ski suits and jackets straight out of your dad’s 1987 closet. Spring is the perfect time to don these bad boys and take ‘em to the slopes—and the apres hangouts.

Luggage and bags for your ski and snowboard trips 

If you’ve got an adventure on the horizon, be sure to check out the duffel bags, ski/board bags, roller bags, and travel packs on the site right now. 

Paying full sticker price for a bag is a bummer, but when you pick one up UnNew, it’s quite painless and even fun. So take inventory of your current travel bag situation and get strategic about what you could improve for more comfy, efficient, and stylish adventures. Whether you need a sturdy old gigantic duffel you can lug around or a sleek new roller bag big enough to schlep all your ski layers through the airport, you can find it here.

Paddling goods for the spring flow 

You’ve put in your permit requests for spring and summer paddle trips. Now it’s time to perfect your gear situation. Browse wetsuits, water booties, paddles, roof racks, boats, and stand-up paddleboards on the site, and get psyched about saving money while plotting adventure.

There’s a little something for everyone, from the recreational flatwater canoeing enthusiast to the kayaker getting ready to rage down Cataract Canyon at high water.

Spring jackets for skiing, boarding, and just about everything else 

You’ve probably put your heaviest insulated coats away for the winter and are prepping for slightly warmer—but still brisk—temps. It’s a perfect time to browse breathable soft shells, light shells with zipper vents, and wind jackets to fend off the breeze while running, hiking, or skinning.

There are a plethora of such jackets on Geartrade right at this moment, so dive on in and nerd out on your spring layering system. Do a little research and a little browsing, and you’ll set yourself up for that Goldilocks zone of spring comfort—not too hot, not too chilly, not too sweaty, and not too clammy.

Desert-trip gear for biking, climbing, and camping 

Not that we ever tire of the snow, but we do love a good desert trip in the spring to warm up, soak in a little sun, and commune with the dirt.

So dust off your mountain bike and assess which parts and components could use improvement. Maybe pick up a new-to-you hydration pack. Snag a new length or diameter of climbing rope to round out your kit. Throw down for an UnNew family-sized tent that fits your entire crew for a desert night under the stars, or up your game on your camp kitchen gadgets.

Whatever you need, there’s loads of it on Geartrade right now—so gear up, get out there, and send us your pics of UnNew stuff in action!
