Proudly Independent

We started in 2019 as a small community gear-sharing co-op, where members could store their lesser-used outdoor gear for others to rent at affordable prices.

In 2022, based on community feedback we pivoted to used gear sales and moved into our first retail location.

In 2023 we launched our online shop to serve the outdoor community nationally.

Through it all, we're committed to staying independent and community-focused, with no outside funding or investments that may compromise or water down our mission.

More Footprints, Less Footprint.


Outdoor gear and wild spaces are inseparable. The mountains you ski, the walls you climb, the trails you hike — these places are worth protecting, and protecting them takes sustained funding. Conservation often gets reduced to a marketing footnote in the outdoor industry. We built Pando around it.

As a "used first" and "mission first" company, we measure success by the impact — both fundraising and otherwise — we're able to have:

Used First

Before resorting to new gear, we work with our community to provide everything you need for the outdoors, pre-owned and ready for a new adventure. You can contribute too, by selling your gear through Pando. New gear has its place, and we're happy to provide options from select high-quality brands, but we want to make it easier to choose used.

Conservation Club

We do retail rewards programs a little differently. Status and rewards come not from spending money with us, but from committing to making monetary donations to preserve wild spaces. Your donation gets you access to shop perks, like 10% back end of season on most purchases. Learn More

Gear as Fundraising for Wild Spaces

We make it easy to turn your old gear into conservation action. When you donate your gear (either by mailing it in or dropping it off locally), proceeds from its sale go to one of our nonprofit partners working to protect the wild spaces you care about.

Leave a Tip, It's on Us

When you make any purchase, you'll find on your order confirmation page the option to dedicate $1 of your purchase to one of our nonprofit partners. We'll cover the tab.

We get it — your belay device purchase won't save the world. But we think a gear shop that genuinely funds conservation — rather than just talking about it — is worth building.
