Gear Hut

Reno


If you're gearing up for an adventure, this should be your first stop. The friendly couple who runs this bustling outdoor shop, full of almost-new top shelf gear for sale on consignment, knows what they're talking about and are eager to get you set up (and keep used gear and clothes out of landfill).

The entrance is behind the old gas station on the corner of S Wells Ave and Wonder St; look for the sign.
