By partnering with Geartrade, DPS is lengthening the lifespan for their products, reducing the carbon footprint created by new gear purchases, and increasing their brand market share among active outdoor enthusiasts.

Every product on Geartrade is thoroughly examined and rated for quality, and each listing includes detailed descriptions of visible wear or other material issues.

Used gear purchases and sales are steadily growing in popularity, based on Geartrade internal metrics. Compared to 2021, Geartrade gross sales from individual sellers are up more than 50% year-to-date through the start of September, and up 82% in the last three months.
