Arc'teryx ReGEAR takes used gear back in action: http://regear.arcteryx.com/.

- 7 things all Arc'teryx newbies should know
If you have an Arc'teryx gear in good condition which you no longer use, then you might want to trade it in to get a digital gift card in return (valued at 20% of the item's original list price). You can then use that amount in your next Arc'teryx purchase.
If, on the other hand, there's a bunch of Arc'teryx items you'd like to own (welcome to the club, I'll be your guide), but you can't afford them, then definitely take a look at ReGEAR. You can even shop Veilance in there, which is fantastic.
One thing to note here is that ReGEAR is currently only available in US & CA. So stop reading right here if you're based somewhere else.
Until Feb 28th, use code CRUNCH25 to get 25% off the entire basket (excluding insulated and shell jackets, though). ReGEAR is also running free shipping all month.

Here's a pretty cool marketing video they dropped a few months ago:
The video is obviously for marketing purposes though I still think it's still pretty cool.
Purchasing a ReGEAR item
You know how they say "Quality is not an act, it is a habit"?
We all know how obsessive Arc'teryx is when it comes to quality and design - which is why we fell in love with it in the first place.
They're no different when it comes to repairing a product for ReGEAR. They meticulously inspect and repair all the items before they put them up for resale on regear.arcteryx.com.

This might sound ridiculous to you, but my personal belief is that even if Arc'teryx purposefully wanted to see their mass production systems to manufacture something of low quality without intervening them... It still wouldn't happen. Obsession on high quality output is just how all of their systems are built.
Now with all that said, despite Arc'teryx's care and attention, down jackets are still the most fragile type of jackets out there. This isn't about Arc'teryx but the jacket itself.
This is not to say you shouldn't get down jackets from ReGEAR. You can very well get them and be perfectly fine. Just make sure to do your due diligence.
Warranty and returns
As I said earlier, all items are refurbished carefully by ReGEAR. This is why they're not afraid to cover ReGEAR items with Arc’teryx Limited Warranty (source on arcteryx.com).
However, ReGEAR purchases are final and non-refundable (source at arcteryx.com). Considering for how cheap you can find the items on ReGEAR, this sounds fair to me.
Until Dec 31st, use code CRUNCH25 to get 25% off the entire basket (excluding re-panelled Alpha SV's). ReGEAR is also running free shipping all month.

Besides that guys, ReGEAR or not, before you get any Arc'teryx, do not forget to check out OutdoorCrunch's in depth tables like you always do.

Trading in your used item to ReGEAR
First requirement for an item to be eligible for trade ins to ReGEAR is that it should be completely functional and in "good enough" condition.
Using your common sense should be sufficient to judge this. A rule of thumb here is that if you'd give your Arc'teryx jacket to a friend, then it's probably in well condition and it'd fit ReGEAR's standards.
Besides that, the items must also have their inner labels in good shape, and shouldn't belong to one of the categories that are excluded from ReGEAR.
These can be listed as follows:
Items accepted:
- Gore-Tex 2L
- Gore-Tex 3L jackets and pants
- Non-GORE-TEX jackets
- Insulated jackets
- Mid-layers & Fleece
- Pants & Shorts
- Blended Shirts & Tops
- Dresses & Skirts
- Footwear (less than 2 years old)
- Packs
- Arc'teryx Veilance
Items not accepted:
- Gore-Tex Paclite jackets and pants
- Gore-Tex ShakeDry jackets
- Any product with custom embroidery (special make-up units)
- Cotton T-shirts
- Pack water bladders
- Headwear, Accessories and Gloves
- Base layers and Underwear
- Air bags
- Harnesses & Climbing Gear
- Ski boots
- Footwear (older than 2 years old)
- Arc'teryx LEAF
In the end, the exchange will get you 20% of the original retail value of the item you traded in, which will come to you in the form of a digital Arc'teryx gift card.
For example, Atom LT Jacket, which is originally priced at 259 USD, gets you 51.80 USD in return once traded in.
- Here are other examples to ReGEAR trade in values of Arc'teryx Jackets: https://www.regear.arcteryx.com/trade-in
Online vs in-store trade ins
One of the good news here is that you can trade in your used jacket online or in-store.
If, however, you opt for the online option, then the total shipment cost will be deducted from your card.
In other words, you're the one who's paying for the shipment cost for online trade-ins, not Arc'teryx. The amount obviously varies depending on where you live. I, however, am told that the average shipping cost is 12 USD.
Until Dec 31st, use code CRUNCH25 to get 25% off the entire basket (excluding re-panelled Alpha SV's). ReGEAR is also running free shipping all month.

Another thing to consider for online trade ins is that if the ReGEAR team happens to turn down the item you shipped for trade in, they do not return the product back to you!
I was wondering if Virtual Advisor can step in here to help about this and provide online guidance whether the product in good condition or not before you make the shipment happen. So I asked my Arc'teryx contacts about this.
It, unfortunately, turns out that this isn't possible as the virtual advisor is available only for arcteryx.com.
As mentioned earlier into this article, even though your item confirms to all the requirements, it still must be completely functional. So make sure it indeed is in good condition.
For in-store trade ins, however, it's a different story. The staff there are able to tell you whether the product you brought is eligible for trading in or not. So, as a result, if it turns out that it's not, then you can take it back home with you.
In short, if there's an Arc'teryx store nearby, then trading in your items from there is recommended over online.
If there isn't, then you can still trade them in online perfectly fine, but make sure it conforms to requirements.
