Why we exist
Innovation to Create & Connect Community
Setting the stage for gently used outdoor and apparel to intertwine with its wide selection of new gear—waterproof bags, paddlesports equipment, hiking packs, performance wear, and more—sourced, inspected, and ready to get back out there.
Every piece of gear carries a story. A river run. A summit push. A week-long float trip. A trail that went farther than planned.
Shopping pre-loved means supporting the outdoor community that makes the wheels go round. It extends the life of well-built gear—keeping quality equipment in use, passing it from one explorer to the next, and allowing us to give back to the spaces we love through community initiatives. We do it because we believe simple human kindness is the ultimate sustainable resource.
Why PreLoved?
The outdoor industry makes some incredible gear — much of it engineered to withstand years, even decades, of hard use.
Yet too much perfectly capable equipment spends its life sitting in garages, buried in gear closets, or discarded long before it has reached the end of the trail.
We think that's a waste.
A waste of materials. A waste of craftsmanship. And, frankly, a waste of perfectly good adventures.
PreLoved G+ exists to put that gear back where it belongs: outside.
Whether you're gearing up for your first river trip or your fiftieth, we're building a marketplace around more adventures, longer gear life, and less waste.
Good gear was built to be used. That's PreLoved.
What We Carry
The best in pre-loved outdoor gear, plus a curated selection of new gear sourced from the heart of whitewater country.
Our roots run deep in the river and outdoor communities — from East Tennessee's Ocoee, through the pristine rivers and backcountry of Idaho, down Grand Canyon lines, and west to the Animas in colorful Colorado.

- WatershedAir-tight, submersible duffels and backpacks trusted by military elite and wilderness guides.

- Jackson Kayak & AIREElite whitewater kayaks, paddles and durable, high-performance inflatables.

PreLoved didn't begin with a website. It grew from seven years of brick-and-mortar outdoor retail in Ocoee, Tennessee, where second-hand gear became one of our favorite corners of the shop.
Years spent alongside paddlers, guides, travelers, suppliers and our own community taught us something pretty simple: good gear keeps going.
