Overview of Outdoor Gearzine booth

Store Project 1: A huge sale of used outdoor gear that has been tested

*The photo is for illustrative purposes only!

At the Outdoor Gearzine booth, we will be selling off some of the outdoor gear we have acquired and tested for review over the past year at a huge discount. We will not reveal the specific names of the items on sale, but since many of them are items we have reviewed, you can be sure that they are all recommended by our editorial team!

Please note that there will inevitably be some variation and limited availability in terms of size and condition, so you will have to come and see for yourself

This time, we will not be releasing all items at once at the start of the event, but will be spreading out the sales dates and times depending on the type of item in order to spread out the customers who come, so we will announce the schedule at a later date

*When apparel or gender distinctions are made, all models are men's.
*Size guide: Sizes for a man with a height of 176 cm, weight of 62 kg, back length of 49.5 cm, and a size 26.5 cm with socks.

Continuing from last year, we will also be selling the all-purpose 8oz Original Dynex Cup, which has a double-layered construction that keeps things cold and warm without condensation, from BSKK hometown of Masuda Kobo, which produces websites, and which offers unique ways to enjoy the outdoors.

We will also be selling (again this year) Outdoor Gearzine original tenugui towels that can only be purchased here

We look forward to seeing you there!

This is your chance to get your hands on some of the finest mountain gear that Outdoor Gearzine has ever recommended at bargain prices. There are also many other stylish and attractive items at other stalls and events, so why not just drop by and check it out?
