Trade-In/Consignment

Where Good Gear Keeps Going

Not everything valuable needs to be new. Trade-In and consignment makes room for gear with life still in it, which means you get access to pieces that are often well-made, well-timed, and worth a closer look. It’s part of what gives the store its character and keeps the floor from feeling predictable.
01

A chance to come across quality pieces at the right moment

02

Better odds of finding something useful, uncommon, or well-priced

03

More variety than a store stocked from one pipeline

It’s worth a visit when you like the idea of finding gear with plenty left in it and a little more story behind it.

Shop

Something New Worth Walking in For

Located just ten minutes north of the Homer Spit, this is a place for people who like finding gear the smarter way without the 9-hour round trip to Anchorage. Instead of settling for whatever shows up first online, you get the chance to see what is in front of you, compare your options in person, and come across pieces that make more sense for your needs, your budget, or the way you actually get outside. And if you want help narrowing it down, we can point you toward gear that fits your plans and your pace.
01

See what is here now instead of ordering blind

02

Catch one-of-a-kind finds before they are gone

03

Compare gear and try on in person before you make the call

Our stock is always changing, so stop in to see what we’ve got. You might find exactly what you needed, or something that makes even more sense once you have it in your hands.

Rentals

Outfitting Made Easier

Some gear makes sense to own. Some only needs to show up when the plan calls for it. Rentals give you a flexible way to get outfitted for the moment without taking on the cost, storage, or long-term commitment of buying everything outright. It’s a practical option when you want to stay ready, travel lighter, or get what you need without making the decision bigger than it has to be.
01

Try the activity before you commit to the gear

02

Get equipped for a trip, or one specific need

03

Spend less time figuring it out and more time getting outdoors

It’s worth a visit when you like the idea of finding gear with plenty left in it and a little more story behind it.

Service and Repair

Packraft Repair and retrofitting

We are just one of three certified Alpacka Raft dealers in the world that are able to replace zippers, valves, and retrofit Alpacka Rafts. 

Ski and Snowboard Maintenance

Well-maintained skis and snowboards make a noticeable difference on snow. We help keep them running the way they should with service that supports better control, better glide, and a more dependable day out.

Skateboard Set Up and Replacement

A board should feel solid beneath you. To keep you rolling, we maintain a well-stocked inventory of essential skateboard parts, including bearings, trucks, wheels, and decks. Our commitment to skating also goes beyond the shop; our team is actively involved with the addition of a new concrete skatepark for our local community. Feel free to ask us for details next time you are in.

Ice Skate Sharpening

A good sharpening can change the way your skates feel the second you step on the ice. We sharpen for different styles of skating so you get cleaner edges, better bite, and a more dependable feel under you. To keep you on the ice all season long, we offer Loyalty Punch Cards for pre-purchased quantities of sharpening - buy 6 and receive 25% off!

Clothing and Equipment Mending

Some gear is too good to give up on just because it has a tear, a loose seam, or some hard miles on it. Our mending and sewing services help you keep using the pieces that still have plenty left to give. For those who prefer to fix things themselves, we also carry mending and repair supplies.

About Us

A Store People Have a Reason to Come Back To

Trying a new sport or hobby is much more approachable when you have affordable, pre-owned gear options. Old Sterling Outfitters was built on the belief that getting outside is simply better when you have the right equipment and a helpful guide to point you in the right direction. We wanted to create the welcoming feel of a community gear library: a space with friendly faces, a warm wood stove, and reliable advice. Because most of our inventory comes from locals who use it in our own backyard, it’s the perfect place to find exactly what you need. By encouraging you to bring gear in, get credit, and buy what you need, we’re building sustainable access to the outdoors for our somewhat remote community. Ultimately, this shop has become a place where good gear keeps moving, honest advice still matters, and the shop dogs make it feel a little more like home. It’s practical, welcoming, and built for people who would rather get outfitted by experienced hands than guess their way through it.
