4/11/2008 While our new space at 444 Haywood Road is being renovated, we’ve opened a scaled-down, small storefront within the Ace Appliance store in the building. In this interim space we’re open Mon – Fri, 12 – 4, cash or check only. Please hold on to your items to consign until we’re in our new space. Thanks.

3/28/2008 Second Gear is on the move! We’re headed across the street to 444 Haywood Road in a portion of the Ace Appliance building. More space. More parking. More great used and new outdoor gear, clothing and accessories. We expect to be in our new space in mid-April. Thanks for your support!

All of these items are priced 20% below MSRP. So as you’re out and about, shopping for the holidays, drop in to see us. We also have a good selection of outdoor guidebooks and offer gift certificates.

10/29/2007 We recently received a great selection of dealer samples of Lowa and Teva hiking, trail running and casual styles for men, women and kids – priced way below MSRP. The Lowa samples are a mix of hiking boots, trail running shoes and low-cut hiking/walking styles. Sizes are mostly men’s 9 and and women’s 6.5 and 7. There are also several kids styles. The Lowa samples are priced 30% below wholesale, so a pair of hiking boots that retail for $180 are available for $69! The Teva’s are a variety of fall styles for women and kids in a mix of sizes.

8/24/2007 We've just received a great selection of Fall/Winter '07 dealer samples from Under Armour mountainwear. This is a relatively new product line from Under Armour, and no other store in Asheville is currently offering it. These samples are a mix of base layer items, outerwear and shorts. It's great stuff for cool and cold weather trail running, road running, hiking, skiing and snowboarding. Sizes: men's large and women's medium. Everything is priced below MSRP. It won't last long!
