The real deal. Great selection of used but usable gear, and at great prices! We scored a couple items that had been on our wish list for a while. We will certainly visit every time we're in Durango. read more

Great place for nearly new/gently used items of all kinds. I've been most happy with hats/caps, gloves, boots/shoes, sun glasses, and clothing I've purchased over the years. I grew up in Durango and wish this place would've been there decades ago. I was so happy to find it during one of my many annual visits a few years ago. I stop by nearly every time I'm lucky enough to get some heavenly Durango time! read more

I went in to put some good things on consignment at a few minutes after 5 (6 mins to be exact) , I busted butt to get off work and get things there in time as they say they stop consignment listing at 5 and would not help me sign in my items. The store was empty and they close at 6. Two workers at the desk chatting it up, they said I would have to come back tomorrow to list items. .... really!? not busy, 2 people doing nothing, 6 mins after 5 ... I am a long time buyer and seller at store and this is the "millennial- dude-we cant be bothered mind set" that Durango gets the rap for! I really want to support the small town, small -local stores but when this BS attitude surfaces .... these types of workers need to done with and/or owners need to teach them how and what "customer service" is really about if they want to survive and thrive in times ahead! Society is hungry for great customer service these days! People who want to help provide in a consignment partnership business need to be better supportive to the people who are supporting them, its a real team effort. I have worked a great many service industries in my lifetime and nothing is more frustrating to see how this generation of laziness with attitude thinks they are above the rest. I dont normally write in this manner but if small local shops what to keep playing they better up their "customer service" game. This episode does not favor this shop as a seller, buyer or for referrals... not in the least! So I guess its back to ebay to sell used things.... DOE you lost my support in more ways than one!!! Giving this a one star is one more than I wanted to give it! read more

Durango Outdoor Exchange is awesome for cheap, reliable gear. Staff was super friendly and knowledgeable, as well. Definitely recommend this place! read more

This place literally made our entire trip to the Durango/Silverton area WORTH it. I want to give a huge shout-out to my man Carl at Durango Outdoor Exchange because he gave my friend and I the best recommendation of how to spend backpacking our last 4 days. In addition to making a strong effort to follow social distance guidelines, they provided exactly what we needed (buffs and lightweight ponchos). You'll come for the gear, leave with AMAZING ADVICE. THANKS, CARL! read more

This place is the bomb. I love the mixture of new and used items. everything they have there is high quality very reasonably priced. The employees are also very chill and friendly. That speaks volumes to me. Awesome place, highly recommend shopping here before you head out on your adventures. read more

Ok first off they shouldn't even be getting one star from me. I got a good jacket but they stole my card number and started buying stuff on Amazon and chime and all sorts of other places. They tried to charge over $1,000 to my card. They also told my dad to use his credit card because that's all he could use and he couldn't use anything else thankfully he finally got them to take cash. If they didn't take the cash he would be in the same situation as I am in right now. This place is the worst place ever. If you want to get your card number stolen go there. I WILL NEVER BE GOING BACK!!! read more

Has a small selection of old, used-up bikes, used shoes, etc. Long way from downtown. Not worth the drive.

We were in need of a pair of ski pants after realizing mine didn't make it with us on our trip. I wasn't in the market to spend hundreds of dollars on a brand new pair knowing I had a pair back home. I was given the suggestion to go to a secondhand store and after looking around found Durango Outdoor Exchange. It's a small shop with difficult parking in the snow but that's part of the deal in a ski town- and quite frankly the only negative I could come up with. The staff is friendly and helpful. The store isn't "full" of stuff but there is plenty to look through. I not only found a pair of pants quickly, but we also found a new jacket for my 2 year old daughter for a great price. Plus, we happened to be there during a sale so it was even better. We would definitely visit here again if we ever were in need for a quick ski supply or gear fix while on vacation. read more

Found a osprey backpack cover for half of the price and still in good condition. They also have brand new stuff. It's a hit and miss to find great bargain. read more

I always go here FIRST when I'm looking for any type of gear. They've got a great selection and even better prices! I'm very impressed and surprised durango never had a gear exchange store before. Keep up the good work guys, I'll keep coming back! read more

Do not ever patronize this place. I left a perfectly good, functioning e-bike for consignment and went back to explain the functionality to them and they had broken the bike. Worst was that did not care. Sell your equipment on EBay or Facebook Marketplace. read more

Think thrift store for outdoor sports equipment- bicycles (a lovely red + yellow Cannondale Caad2 frame 9-speed w/Shimano 105s for $300); 2 kayaks; rock climbing shoes; a wall of packs, with + w/o frames in varying conditions; a rack of bike jerseys; another rack of ski jackets; some racks of used clothing/street shoes for men + women (I didn't see much for kids); 2 pairs of rollerblades!; 1 pair of what I'm pretty sure were ice hockey skates!! Friendly + helpful staff. I'm sure their inventory changes all the time, but it's worth stopping by if you're around, just for the fun of poking around all the gear. read more

Got a great deal on a nice commuter/hybrid bike...

This place was a game changer! Our tent broke on the first night in Great Sand Dunes so we stopped on the way to Mesa Verde. We were able to get a great used tent for a great price! They guys working were very helpful and let us put the tent up out front before we bought it. They really saved our trip!!! read more

Durango Outdoor Exchange is your one stop shop for any outdoor or camping gear. came through Durango for lunch and to look for raincoats but found nothing under 150 in the downtown stores. we were shocked to find fairly priced jackets (5-30) dollars that were perfect for our needs. on top of the jackets we stayed to look at the rest of the store and talk to the wonderful staff. it's hard to walk out without a million other things because everything is so fairly priced. Be sure to visit next time you are in Durango. read more

This is the place to go! We bought a great used bike (and are going to buy another one), Chase is super helpful and knowledgeable. I haven't bought (or ridden a bike) in years, so he walked me through what I needed to know and didn't try to upsell me on something I didn't need. They also have a great selection of gently used outdoor clothing. Check back often! read more

I go here every time that I visit Durango! They have really well-priced used gear and clothing, but they also sell new items that are made locally in Durango. I always find something to buy here. I definitely recommend checking this place out. If you're lucky, the shop dog Tyson will be there to greet you. He's super chill and always happy to meet a new face. The staff are amazing as well. They are super knowledgeable about the inventory and always willing to answer any questions and help you to decide which item will best meet your needs. read more

This is the place to go for used outdoor gear! The people that work there are great and very helpful. They usually have a good selection, and it's nice to sell things there as well. A very cool business - we are lucky to have them in Durango. read more

UNBELIEVABLE! Someone living in Durango found my husband's cell phone and helped return it to him. I called this store to send the good samaritan a gift card from the store, and even though they usually don't do this over the phone they immediately made arrangements for me to get my thank you out to this person.Give your business to this store.. they deserve it!! read more

I would avoid any business transactions with Durango Outdoor Exchange. You will be much better served by donating to or purchasing from the Durango Humane Society or even Craigslist. For a business that relies on the community to provide them with inventory, I was completely shocked by the rudeness of the owner. Clearly, he doesn't follow the Axiom of the customer is always right. I guess he must have missed that chapter in business for dummies. read more

This store is great and the people that work there are awesome. Always quick to help / educate you on different gear I always go here first when I'm looking for gear. Check it out also they make selling your used gear easy and fun. read more

By far one of the best stores in Durango, incredible concept, greatly needed, wonderful employees, great atmosphere, awesome gear and great prices!! Great place for ballers on a budget as well as those wanting to lower their carbon footprint and impact on our planet by giving life to others unwanted or outgrown equipment and gear!!!!!! read more
