Why Second Send
At Second Send, we believe premium outdoor gear can—and should—go further. By giving outdoor apparel and equipment a second life, we’re reducing waste and helping protect the wild places we all love and depend on. Choosing pre-owned outdoor gear keeps high-quality products in circulation, lowers environmental impact, and supports a more sustainable outdoor industry.
We’re also striving to make the outdoors more accessible through Second Send. Not everyone can invest in brand-new gear, and that shouldn’t be a barrier to getting outside. Whether you’re looking to sell outdoor gear you no longer use or shop secondhand outdoor gear at a better value, Second Send creates a more approachable entry point for climbing, skiing, hiking, and camping.
As a trusted outdoor gear resale shop in Boulder, Colorado, we’re proud to support our community with a place to buy and sell outdoor gear, extend the life of premium equipment, and keep more people outside—without compromise.
