We think everyone should be able to hike, climb, paddle, run, explore, and relax in the Carolinas’ outdoor paradise. We use decades-long relationships to get samples and first-run clothing, gear, and accessories from top outdoor brands at unreal prices. Friendly experts help you in our organized store, not a messy bargain basement or on a website that doesn’t let you try things on. They’ll even help you explore new adventures with personal tips and advice.
The styles and inventory of our store change rapidly so you won’t find much of it on this website. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube to keep in touch.
Here are some ways you can explore your backyard with Frugal Gear
Go Hiking
With Friends
Grab the boots, poles, and apparel you need to explore some of the world’s oldest and prettiest mountains. Nothing amazing ever happened in somebody’s comfort zone.
Float
The French Broad
Canoeing and kayak fishing to whitewater and tubes — and everything in between — are better when you’re in fast-drying and stylish performance gear. It’s a proven fact.
Enjoy
Snacks & Brews
In Asheville, we wear the same clothes and shoes on the trail that we wear on the town. There is no separation of outdoor life and life-life.
Camp Out
Under the Stars
Some of the greatest moments happen when we escape the hustle and bustle. Find your special place in the woods, on your patio, at your local joint, or in your backyard.
