Keep Great Gear Outside Longer

ODSS accepts a wide range of eligible kids’ and adults’ outdoor gear, including outerwear, base layers, mid layers, boots, backpacks, and other approved gear categories. Not every item or brand qualifies, so please review our approved brands and condition standards before sending items in.

Click Start My Trade-In to open the ODSS (Re)PLAY portal. Follow the prompts, choose eligible items, send your gear back, and receive ODSS credit once your items are reviewed.

Yes. ODSS (Re)PLAY accepts qualifying gear from approved brands, even if it was purchased somewhere else. You can also trade in eligible items purchased from Outdoor School Shop by logging into your account in the trade-in portal, reviewing previous purchases, and following the prompts.

ODSS accepts a wide range of kids’ and adults' outerwear for trade-in—including base layers, mid-layers, and outer layers—but not every item or brand will qualify. Please check our list of approved brands to guide your trade-in.

Just fill out the trade-in form, send your gear back to us, and receive ODSS store credit once your items are reviewed. It’s an easy way to size up, clear out, and keep quality outdoor gear in use.

We’ve kept the process quick and simple. Just click the Start My Trade-In button above to head to our portal, where you’ll be guided through each step. During the process, you can request a prepaid mail-in label; the $7.99 cost will be deducted from your trade-in value.

Don't worry—it happens. If we receive a brand outside our current buying program, we'll review it individually. Exceptional items may still be accepted. Otherwise, unless you request a return (return shipping applies), we'll donate eligible items to help keep quality gear in use and out of landfills.

Please use common sense when selecting items for trade-in—ask yourself, “Would I feel comfortable buying this used for my own child?”

ODSS cannot accept the following:

• Items outside our approved trade-in categories
• Unlaundered or soiled items.
  
• Damaged items that have not been repaired. We do accept outerwear with credible, functional repairs that restore the item’s use. If you’re unsure about the quality of a repair, it’s best not to submit it.

Follow the prompts in the ODSS (Re)PLAY portal to see an estimated trade-in value. Final credit is confirmed after ODSS receives and reviews your items. Values are based on brand tier, wear level, and size.

Currently, ODSS can only accept trade-ins from within the 50 United States.

There are no program fees. If you use our prepaid mail-in label, the $7.99 shipping cost will be deducted from your final credit.

Anyone – yes! But everyone needs a customer account established with ODSS. Don't have one?  Open here.

Use any sturdy, still-serviceable mailing bag or box you already have on hand. Choose packaging that fits your items well—too big and the label may not cover the cost (plus it increases the carbon footprint); too small and it may not hold up during shipping.

Tip: Reuse a sturdy bag or box that fits your gear just right—safe for shipping and better for the planet.

You can use your credit at ODSS exclusively and it will not expire. Your credit can be used towards any item that ODSS sells, including books and toys.

We’re a small but nimble team, and we do our best to process trade-ins as quickly as possible. Please allow a little patience as we review your items. Once your trade-in is processed, your credit will be issued right away. If you have questions at any point, reach out to us at theteam@outdoorschoolshop.com—we’re happy to help.
