Tahoe Gear Exchange

Tahoe Gear Exchange is a sporting goods store in South Lake Tahoe, California, focused on used outdoor gear and consignment. Founded in 2022, the shop carries a broad and rotating mix of pre-owned equipment spanning weekend basics through full expedition outfitting, and now accepts summer items alongside its year-round inventory. Recent stock has included Ruffwear dog life jackets, Kavu bags, Kore hiking poles, whitewater kayak paddles, Saucony trail running shoes, Athleta running shorts, Lululemon leggings, and Backcountry hiking shorts, with bigger-ticket pieces such as Fliteboard Pro Series 2 e-foils in both 67L and 100L configurations, a Bulls Lacuba EVO E45 e-bike, a One Wheel XR, and waterproof monocular and binocular sets. Customers can buy on consignment, bring in their own gear to see if it will sell, and use store credit through the online shop with in-store pickup.

The storefront occupies more than 3,200 square feet of combined consignment and retail space, a layout the owners describe as jam-packed since opening. They added the online shop so shoppers can browse from home, apply store credit, and pick up purchases in person as the business continues to grow and expand. The store is open seven days a week, Monday through Sunday from 10am to 6pm, and can be reached by phone at 1-530-600-0303 or by email at [email protected].

The shop sits on Emerald Bay Road, about a third of a mile from Lake Tahoe Boulevard and roughly the same distance from the South Y Transit Center, the Tahoe Valley neighborhood, and the Mtn Postal post office.

With a rating of 4.80, Tahoe Gear Exchange reflects the kind of feedback that comes from a steadily returning local and visitor base finding deal-priced outdoor gear in South Lake Tahoe.
