Equipment & Gear Available for Sign-out / Rental

We know not everyone brings a garage-full of outdoor gear with them to college, so Mainely Outdoors offers an ever-growing inventory of equipment for sign-out / rental. We really, really want to get you out there — safely and properly equipped.

And to help keep your gear in safe working condition, Mainely Outdoors also does ski tuning, bike tuning and more — right on campus in the Mainely Outdoors building.
