Nice store helping reduce waste while saving the outdoor enthusiast money. Lots of merchandise so be sure to take your time to look through everything. Very reasonable prices and knowledgeable staff that can get you set up with the proper gear you need.

Fun store to spend a couple hours searching for treasures in.

Great deals. I love that theres a store for used sports equipment.. so much less expensive than buying new.

The best people, this place is pretty sweet for getting good gear. They have knowledgeable folks ready to help and new variety all the time.

I love this place and make a point to stop here nearly every time Im in the area! Great selection of outdoor equipment and clothing to sift through, the majority of which are for phenomenal prices (especially if youre willing to wait)! The staff is always very friendly and helpful, and the consignment process is easy and rewarding (including 10% off in-store with store credit!).

I go there whenever I can because you can get the best deals on amazing gear for hiking camping kayaking climbing biking and basically any outdoor activities the people are very nice too and I believe they aslo have a bike shop for fixing bikes in there too

Long-time customer and consigner, but what happened to this place? Victims of their own popularity? In any case, the selection seems to have gone way downhill..maybe folks got tired of paying a middleman such a high cut when other online now options charge way less. Wish I knew, because this place used to be THE BEST for steals and deals on gear. But now feels more like a flea market and vintage clothing store where all I see is the same beat-up stuff, some of it decades old, that just hangs around indefinitely. Like who’s buying wetsuits from the 80s, synthetic sleeping bags and Thermarests from the 90s, or down jackets in the middle of summer? Equally confused by the high prices for well-loved stuff like footwear or even helmets. A steady churn of staff also all seem to think whatever outdated info they can dig up on the internet justifies an absurd asking. Disappointed to see a staple local business that I supported forever sorta lose itself in this pumped-up pandemic market.

If you love the outdoors, this store is a slice of heaven. If there is gear, or clothes you need, you will find something you need here. Many thanks to whomever established this store!

I went to this store just to look around and as soon as I walked in I didnt want to leave. They had a huge selection of high quality, name brand outdoor clothing. They also have prices that drop on certain dates which let some things get so cheap its hard to not purchase. The staff is super helpful and nice. I will definitely be going back since they had anything I could ever need! I highly recommend checking here before buying something new.

This is the greatest place in the world. Great people, unbelievable pricing.. if you don’t shop here, you don’t support the troops.

Usually find awesome stuff here, nice people and pretty relaxed environment. Giving the 2 stars because it’s not a good spot for sellers. Lots of small details are kept out. If you’re rich and can donate a lot of stuff, awesome. If you’re trying to make a little something off your used items, better luck on a market place. Hate to be a complainer, but just be wary! Make sure to ask a lot of questions, because their website and store attendants keep a lot out.

I was looking for a high quality hiking boot for very little cash, man. They had it. They have what you need, too.

Really good gear at ridiculous prices comes through, swing by often

Great people great operations really enjoy the store

The bomb. Great sportswear thrift store in the fit hipster’s capital of America. You’re bound to find some great brands. Prices are moderate because they only accept the best items. Employees are friendly and helpful. Come in here and risk finding a treasure.

I love this place! They always have great gear, equipment and clothes for outdoor enthusiasts like myself. I almost always check there first before buying new gear.

I came through here twice on a road trip to Boulder. Got a ton of cold weather gear - most prices starting around $10-$30. Do not miss this place if youre looking for amazing deals on high-quality, name-brand gear!

Great selection, friendly staff, good prices!

This place is by far the Best place to go by and consign gear and Boulder. They have an excellent selection for purchase and if you can sign there they have the highest split of any store in Boulder for the consignor

Best place to get gear. No cap.

Great selection, good prices, nice and knowledgeable staff.

Awesome used gear store. Sometimes you can find new items with tags or hardly worn. Its the perfect spot to stop at before committing to buying new. My boyfriend is always at this place, not only does he sell but digs around for used gear for both of us. It is a great asset and we often find hidden gems (looking at you Black Diamond Guide Gloves!). 10/10 recommend this place to anyone who spends time hiking, biking, climbing, running, skiing, and camping.

Great used sports gear shop, doing an excellent job with COVID social distancing and mask enforcement. Will definitely be back

Great people and deals. Stop by every once and a while to see if there is anything I need. From bike parts to clothes, bags, and camping gear, there is a bit of everything. Stop by before you buy and see if this local buisness has what you need

I wish I had one of these closer to where I live! The prices were blowing my mind for the big brand items, super affordable and very friendly service

So many options from every type of ski/snowboard gear (boards, skis, gloves, jackets, pants, boots, bindings, etc. I saw a few longboards too, they have it all) They also had some various outdoor gear like sleeping bags, cool outdoor mugs and likely a lot more. Real friendly staff and a free easy parking lot. I’ll definitely go back & highly recommend.

One of the places we always are sure to stop by when we are in Boulder.

Great place to find used gear at reasonable prices. As a consignor, I was not satisfied with their communication and payment for items sold. I dropped several items off before moving abroad, and after seeing that I had items sold I contacted the shop several times to find a way to get paid. I never heard from them, and when I returned to Colorado I found that the pay-out period had passed.

The name says it all

Great and diverse selection of products!

Love this place. Great to drop off or get rid of old gear. Stop by every few weeks to check out inventory- always find something to get excited about. Plus staff is cool and always helpful. I send friends here all the time.

Major rip off place. Took in my partners skis on consignment and then said they couldn’t sell them because the bindings were too old. When she went to collect them they said they gave them away so they were obviously good for someone. Just remove the bindings and the skis were fine. But they gave them away without her permission. Sounds like theft maybe? In addition, they sold a pair of ski pants of hers and so far have refused to give her the money they owe her for it. Theft again? This place is clearly a scam and should be shut down by the DA as such.Beware doing business with them. Unless you enjoy getting ripped off.

Friendly staff, great selection of outdoor clothes/gear at *amazing* prices. Their date-based system on all the tags makes it easy to decide whether to wait for the price to drop or if youre getting a great deal already! Highly recommend.

Not a bad shop. Theyve got cool employees and a ton of stuff, but had very little snowboard gear (which is what we went for). The 8 boards they had were either super cheap or super expensive, (25$ or 200$). They did have a lot of biking and rock climbing items though.

A best-kept secret of Boulder! I visit frequently to see what new stuff is in stock. Really great for equipping kids with the next size up, and recycling what they can no longer fit. If it was any less expensive, it would be an equipment library...!

This place is amazing!!! Friendly, educated staff that will give you their honest opinion and not just try to get a sell. My boyfriend and I got our first pair of snow shoes and Dusty was really helpful and knowledgeable about the product. Unbeatable prices! So thankful for local businesses like this one. Keep up the good work guys!!!

Great place! New owner, Mick, is friendly, knowledgeable, and personable. The staff is, too. It is MUCH better organized than it was with the old owner 2 years ago. Highly recommend it.

There is such a HUGE selection of things there. I was in a hurry so i had to put on my blinders but you could absolutely get lost exploring tons of great gear. The staff was really really helpful (like above and beyond helpful) so i would totally look here for any adventure needs before going to a store and spending full price on something that is already in this store.

Under new management as of 2019. Fresh vibe from the staff and the layout. Looks like they will are slowly putting in the effort to refresh the BSR brand. There were gems before, there still are. Break that habit of buying new, just stop here every week to see what’s new.

Ive always been a big fan of this place - both as buyer and seller. But added bonus now with new folks in there with real positive attitude and energy. Highly recommend!

I have been there a handful of times and I agree with others comments about the staff being unhelpful. Also I feel like it would be helpful and they may even sell more if there was more organization. Other consignment and thrift stores around Boulder do a much better job. I dont want to look through 50 jackets to rummage for a size small.

In a town of overpriced sports gear, this place can help you find some slightly reduced pricing on goods. If you’re looking for a good deal on used gear, look elsewhere. Found a Mountain Hardware jacket that was $190 and googled the same jacket new and it was $200

New ownership is great. New energy and online system is awesome but the old business hours are frustrating. Ive shown up a couple times and realized it was Monday (theyre closed then) or the handwritten sign announced being closed for whatever reason. Itd be good to have that info on their website...

Such a refreshing place to shop! Has been a favorite store for years, but the new ownership and vibe make it all the more inviting and welcoming. Would recommend it to anyone looking for affordable used gear in Boulder!

New management is way better than the old. Their system is now online and organized and they keep the shop fairly clean and orderly. Nice folks there too. I think we should all support these types of stores and buy used gear as much as possible.

I found some GREAT deals on outdoor clothing that is way overpriced elsewhere. The staff were great. It is important to me that an employee or owner knows their own inventory and their products. I will go back.

Similar to other reviewers, most the times Ive been in here the staff has been very rude and off-putting. It is however a decent place to consign and buy soft goods. Honestly, I would recommend you look for any other alternative.

Went here with tons of questions and a bike in pieces. The staff was so friendly and helpful. They took the time to show me how to replace the tires and put my bike back together. I will definitely be back!

Wow, what a change. new ownership and staff are super-friendly and helpful. Ive gone to this place for 17 years and in the past put up with the grumpy attitude. now I can actually recommend it to friends.

I have been consigning and buying at BSR for around 20 years. With 3 children who climb, cycle & backpack, its been indispensable for ridding ourselves of outgrown stuff and getting more great stuff. And now under Micks direction, the shop carries more gear, is digitized and is better organized. Indeed the jewel of Boulder.

This place is nothing but amazing! They have so much gear in great condition! There really is no reason to pay full price anymore. I bought a compression sack somewhere else and then compared prices and kicked myself. Recycler had brand new compression sacks in various sizes for much cheaper! Doh! also the staff is great and knowledgeable!go go go! to Sports Recycler! you will not regret it.

I actually had a great experience with the staff as they helped me buy and get fitted for my first road bike a few years ago. I got the road bike for about $125 and it still works.I also got an almost brand new, beautiful ping pong table for about $100 (online it was going for about $600). Love this place.

I came in for a bouldering crash pad, found what I wanted pretty quickly, and got a good deal. Im happy and I will go back.The guys were pretty busy when I came in, so I didnt get immediate service, but nothing like the other bad reviews listed here

I just moved to Boulder yesterday and I stopped by Boulder Sports Recycler, Inc on a whim to see if I could get a decent bike. I was beyond impressed with both their customer service and selection. One of the employees there talked me through the different bike options they had available and I was able to select one in my price range without a problem. They even let me test ride it as long as I came back before closing! This is definitely a place worth checking out if youre in need of any sort of adventure sports equipment. They may not have exactly what youre looking for but the savings make it totally worth the trip.

Awesome place and awesome people. They will help you however they can, and will ensure you leave satisfied. Cool spot to stop by occassionally to see what hidden gems are there.

Have had repeated great experiences here. The staff is knowledgable, and excited to share the bounty of their vast outdoor gear. I have had nothing but excellent experiences, and the used stuff is in clean and good condition. Awesomeness. I will be back.

I am sure there is good deals in the store! I have been there twice and had rude, uninviting experiences. I think this matters a lot as a consumer and will never return due to principle. Why pay 92$ for something when I could get the same thing for $125 online, new, with a warranty, without the hassle of feeling out of place, without the snarky attendants, and be happier. Again, maybe the dude, bros just had a chapped ass today but who cares this is the customer service industry...I walked out after asking about pricing and feeling like I got spoken to in a rude manner. I left the two stars cause it has the potential to be spectacular, but a consignment store first needs to be that a consignment store...not retail with 15% off...especially with rude device...double get outta here bro.

Go here before going to REI. The manager, I believe her name was Sam/Summer, was an amazing help finding a used sleeping bag for my summer. The deals you find there are second to none.

Its always exciting to check out what they have. With used gear and clothing you cant beat actually touching and feeling it before you buy. The quality of the stuff has consistently improved over the years and youll be sure to find good stuff.

Before dropping off great kids gear by high end name brands for resale, I decided to read the reviews for this recycling place. There were several one star reviews describing terrible experiences. But there are always going to be people disgruntled with some things…right?… .Well, believe the bad reviews on this one! My experience is that the place is in a terrible location to receive much traffic, their hours are not conducive to sports enthusiasts, heading off in the morning, or on certain days, and we found that their products are priced extremely high on the onset.We, too, found the personnel to be rude and curt. I was to read and sign the rules of sale basically stating that all the footwork and record keeping would be on my end. We dont call you, you call us policy.After stopping by to pick up my last check that was due me, I found store closed sign--not once, but twice--during daytime hours. When asking if they would mail my small balance due me, he stated there is a $1.00 mailing FEE.I guess they feel their customer base is good enough, because they wont be adding too many more!!Look on Craigslist….youll definitely do better!!!

These guys have always been great to me. It never hurts to have some idea what you are looking for but even when I dont they have been nothing short of helpful- even if it means sending me to another retailer for something they dont have. Seems like the naysayers may just be suffering from bruised egos. I have never experienced any attitude from any of the staff here, but I havent come in with any either. Cant wait to get in this fall checkout some skis!

Awesome. Wish something like this was closer to us.

Same experience as other reviewers, super rude customer service. If they would have been at all friendly and a little helpful on the phone I would have made the trip there from Broomfield during their limited store hours. In the future, it may be better to just not answer the phone. It seems many have the same unpleasant experience in person.

Super knowledgeable and helpful staff. Dusty at the counter was very friendly and everything was priced perfectly. Thanks! Definitely coming in again.

Always great gear & good prices. Sold a lot of stuff here, but always hard to leave there with the money. New management is an improvement.

This place is amazing. The prices are great and I could not believe the variety of gear, bikes, parts, clothes, etc. The staff was really friendly, helpful and knowledgable. Boulder Sports Recycler will now be my first stop when looking for gear.

Great staff and amazing clothes, gear, backpacks whatever you find its usually at an incredible price!! Love stopping in you never know

Under new ownership! Mick has a passion for great customer service and is excited to enhance your outdoor adventurous spirit to a new level!! (Friends dont let friends pay retail)

I was really excited to go to this place however my experience wasnt as great as I hoped it would. The guy behind the counter was knowledgeable and helpful. Great customer service, however, the experience wasnt so great trying to sift through disorganized merchandise, especially the clothing gear.

Great prices on used gear. Can find used climbing equipment here. They also have a free bin out front.

You can find ridiculously high-end sports gear for ridiculously low prices, and the staff care more about equipping you with the right gear than making sales, which is why I chose to start working there. BSR is a well-known Boulder secret and a favorite for both beginners and professionals. There should be more consignment shops that reliably recycle outdoor equipment, and BSR is a progressive step towards making adventure accessible to the hungry student and every-budget adventurer.

They are now under new ownership and the customer service, lighting, and overall vibe in there have improved a lot. Great selection of hiking boots and backpacking bags!

Really helpful staff-- gave me a ton of advice to help me pick out a great set of first-timer skiis and boots! For a crazy good deal, too

Terribly disappointed with their customer service. They gave away some skis that I had brought in to consign. They told me theyd call me to let me know if the bindings were obsolete - but no call. So I called them and said Id pick them up when I got back from going out of town and when I showed up, they were gone!I sold something on consignment and asked for the pay out - but they didnt have any checks. Im still waiting for them to mail me the check. With such poor customer service, Im surprised they can keep their doors open.

Whoa, this place has the most polarized ratings that Ive ever seen. I went here to look for my first pair of climbing shoes. Its not the most accessible location by bike and the selection around my size was limited (i.e. there was a single pair), but the shoes were a close-enough fit and cost all of $18, so I ended up with an amazing deal and cant complain.

Sweet shop with superb deals, definitely check em out!

I love this place for climbing gear, bikes, books, and camp stuffs.

Lots of great bargains. The staff tends to be a bit too unhelpful. But, digging through the large variety of good is fun!

Great opportunities to buy high quality equipment at amazing prices, on consignment gear.

Cool spot. Some solid deals to be had

BSR is a great place to find deals. I have always found the customer service to be quite good. The employees are knowledgable about all sorts of outdoor gear. From climbing pro to clothing, it is where I go first.

My daughter and I both live this place!!

Has some fantastic gear and clothing and great prices

Very friendly staff will help you consign and shop! Many different types of gear and clothing are available for your next outdoor activity.

My first visit to Boulder Sports Recycler couldn’t have been better. I went in searching for a backpack; not only did BSR have a huge selection, the super helpful staff even put new bungee cord on it for me (I didn’t even ask)! I was feeling indecisive about purchasing a messenger bag because I wasn’t sure my laptop would fit, and the owner found his own laptop so I could have a reference. After they looked up the specific dimensions of my laptop online, they measured the laptop slot to make sure it would fit before I took it home. WOW. Great service, great selection & great price – this’ll be my first stop for all things outdoors from now on. Thanks so much!!

Great deals. Friendly and helpful staff

Awesome deals on great gear. Every time I go in I learn something new.

Good stuff at a great price with knowledgeable employees.Weve been there twice so far and it has become our first stop for sporting gear.

Super chill place. Got a rack of cams and stoppers for half of what Id pay elsewhere.

Since getting a new owner, this place has really turned around. The staff is friendlier and its a much more enjoyable experience when you pop in to check out the local deals.

Awesome deals. Place keeps it simple, rugged gear no frills.

Well-established establishment. Great place to get high quality sports equipment for pennies on the dollar.

Great place to find bargains. Hit or miss selection but cant beat the prices.

Favorite store in Boulder! Awesome staff, great prices, and a huge selection of gear.

Im not too sure why some people are upset with BSRs customer service. #1 I have not had any bad experiences over the past ten years, and #2 this is not the same type of store as McGuckin or REI where there is help with a smile at every turn and in every aisle (more an attribute of McGuckin than REI anyway). I dont really expect that at a place like this nor have I ever been treated poorly. Theyve been friendly and helpful and I really appreciate this place as a hidden gem in Boulder. They dont do electronic records, just old school paper, which I find kind of quirky and refreshing and nothing to complain about. Ive consigned stuff a few times there and theyve sold my stuff and Ive gotten decent money every time. Ive purchased nice items at a great bargain another handful of times at least. No complaints here. We need stores like this.

Its really too bad the service is so horrible. Ive been there three times, purchased over 200 bucks worth of stuff, yet Ive only had a good experience once. I keep wanting to give them another shot, but I give up. The last straw was being in there alone but for three employees (including the manager) behind the counter who, despite my explicit request for help, refused to even come out from behind the counter. I guess Ill stick to any one of their local or internet based competitors.

Have to agree with the negative posts. The staff (though Im generalizing) by and large are extremely unhelpful. When calling to inquire about a nordic boot, the guy couldnt have been more put off to answer questions. Though they had the boot I was looking for, I almost had to beg to get this guy to see if they had my size. / Bottom line, Ill go elsewhere, even if I have to pay double!

You can definitely find some treasures if youre patient and know what youre looking for. Dont expect to be helped or even respected by the condescending staff.

This place is rad. lots of awesome gear

Dusty and the whole crew at Boulder Sports Recycler are laid back, friendly and honest. Ive been there a lot lately and theyve always been a pleasure to chat and do business with.
