Should I Buy or Rent My Gear?

Should I Buy or Rent My Gear?

The answer depends on how often you play outside, what kind of gear you need, and how much storage space (or budget) you have.

Rent if you're new, trying a sport, or traveling. 
Buy if you go often or want your ideal setup. Platforms like SENDY.io let you do both affordably.

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.

If you're trying something expensive. 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 the perfect fit. Personally sized boots, bikes, and packs are worth owning.
If you care about performance. Rental gear is solid, but not always top-tier.

When you want long-term savings, after a few uses, gear pays for itself, especially if you buy used or sell it later.

If you plan 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!
