  • No team or corporate-branded apparel.
  • No socks or underwear, unless new with tags.

Winter Sports

  • No skis or ski bindings older than the 2015/2016 season. No ski boots older than the 2013/2014 season.
  • No helmets older than 5 years, or that have experienced a significant impact.

Frequently Asked Questions

I'm not sure if my gear qualifies.

Feel free to email us a couple pictures along with any details you have, and we'd be happy to look at it with you.

If you've got extra room in your box, you're always welcome to add non-qualifying gear and we'll do our best to find it a new home. These items would be considered a donation.

Can I get a trade-in estimate before I mail in my gear?

Of course! Email hello@pandorefitters.com with the brand, model, and estimated year of your item, along with some pictures.

Can I get cash for my gear, or just store credit?

Our trade in program is primarily for store credit.

However, if you've got lots of quality gear to sell, we'd be happy to discuss switching you to our consignment program, which qualifies for cash payouts and higher earnings.

Consignment and cash payouts are also available for gear dropped off in person at our Provo, UT store.

I have a lot of gear. Can you help?

Absolutely. We love to work with brands, retailers, sponsored athletes, rental fleet managers, and anyone else who just happens to collect a lot of outdoor gear.

As a high volume seller, we can get you set up with a consignment account, which gets you higher earnings, plus the option to take cash payouts. Send us a note at partnerships@pandorefitters.com and we'll help you get started.

Can I drop off my gear in person?

Absolutely. We currently have drop off available at our Provo, UT location.

What if I don't like my trade-in offer?

If you think something might be off with your offer, just let us know and we're happy to take another look.

Please note we're pretty confident in our pricing and don't typically make adjustments.

If you change your mind and want your gear back, just let us know within 48 hours, and we'll happily ship it back (you'll just pay return shipping).

We issue store credit 48 hours after sending your trade-in offer (or earlier if you tell us everything looks good). Once credit is issued, we're no longer able to send anything back.
