Should I Buy or Rent My Gear?
Here’s a quick breakdown to help you decide:
When to RENT outdoor gear:
Suppose you're new to the sport. You’ll want to try before you commit — renting lets you test brands, sizes, and styles.
If you only go occasionally, there’s no sense in buying gear you’ll use once or twice a year.
When traveling, renting at your destination saves you from having to haul bulky gear.
When you don’t have storage. No garage? No problem — rent and return.
High-end bikes, stand-up paddleboards (SUPs), and tents can be expensive. Rent first to see if it's worth the splurge.
BUY outdoor gear:
When you're out there every weekend. Buying saves money fast.
If you want a perfect fit, personally sized boots, bikes, and packs are worth investing in.
If you're all about performance, rental gear is a solid option, but it's not always top-tier.
When you want long-term savings, because after a few uses, gear pays for itself, especially if you buy used or sell it later.
If you're plan is to rent it out, SENDY.io lets you earn cash by sharing your gear when you’re not using it.
Bottom line?
Rent to explore, buy to commit.
And if you're on the fence, try renting the exact item you’re thinking about buying!
