Winter gear swap coming up at Patagonia
Got ski or snowboard gear you’d like to clear out? Patagonia's Newbury Street store is now accepting skis, snowboards, poles, and boots ahead of its winter gear “swap” on Oct. 28th. You’ll be able to exchange your gear for new-to-you items or sell it; even if you have nothing to unload, you can stop by the event to score gear at a discount. The advantage of dropping items off early is store staff will promote it through Patagonia’s social media pages. Patagonia is at 346 Newbury St., Boston, 617-424-1776. Find more details here.
