Requipped

Have a look at this post to see why there's a delay in the sale of Requipped gear! We hope that you will continue to trade in gear so we can open up soon :)

♻️ Do you have any outdoor gear that you no longer use? ♻️

💰Over the past few months lots of people have continued to trade in outdoor gear they no longer use for discounts. But as we are getting ready to start selling the gear, we are still looking for more outdoor gear!

🥾So if you have camping gear, outdoor clothes, watersport equipment, hiking gear, or anything else that you might need in the outdoors but that you no longer use, trade it in so others can have access to affordable, sustainable and high quality outdoor gear! ⛰️🏕️

❔Get in touch with any questions!❔

Fog and an old mine, it's like walking through a scene of the Lord of the Rings! 💍 No matter the weather, Donegal never fails to deliver spectacular views 👌

What's your favourite place to hike?

🍀

There's lightweight adventures, and then there's not so lightweight adventures.. What's your favourite outdoor activity?

Due to safety reasons, we can't take in any protective gear, but lot's of other adventure gear is accepted! Please consider trading in gear you no longer use, so others can bring it on new adventures 🚵‍♀️

At the very beginning stages of Requipped, we sent out a market research survey which also asked for name suggestions. Shane Halley provided us with the name Re-Quipment, which lead us to come up with the current name: Requipped! Congratulations Shane with your voucher for Booley and Requipped, and thank you all for your great suggestions and input! 🍀

We love sunsets! 😍☀️What's your favourite way to watch a sunset? From the top of a mountain watching over the sea, or watch the sun disappear behind the hills?

Let us know in the comments! ⬇️

After a break in 2020, the is back! 📢🥳

In 2019, the campaign reported record breaking numbers with over 300 clean-ups taking place around all of Ireland, engaging approximately 8,000 volunteers who removed at least 45 tonnes of marine litter across the country.

Now are calling people around Ireland to join us again and make this year's Big Beach Clean the biggest yet!

This year, the will take place on 17th-19th September and once again, we are delighted to have joined forces with and , who will help us support our volunteers with free clean-up kits.

During the Big Beach Clean, volunteers are encouraged to be part of an excellent round the world citizen science data collection project and to carry out marine litter surveys to quantify the amount and types of litter on Irish beaches. These surveys are aimed at heightening awareness about the issue of marine litter and serve as an indicator of the magnitude of the problem.

Over the next couple of weeks we will share more info on the initiative. For now, register on our website. (Cleancoasts.org)

At requipped, we have some values that are at the core of everything we do 🏞️

♻️ Sustainability: The idea of Requipped was born as Booley was looking for a way to become more sustainable as an outdoor store. Of course, by trading in or buying used outdoor gear, you lower the impact the item has on the natural environment. But we also aim for social sustainability, as we want to give back to the local community (stay tuned, more on that later!)

💰 Pricing: We also think it is important to make the outdoors accessible to as many as possible. High quality and sustainable gear can be more expensive, for example because everyone along the production line gets paid a fair wage (as it should be! 👏). At requipped, we will re-sell the stuff for maximum 50% of the new price, as we hope this encourages more people to go outdoors and afford sustainable outdoor gear!

🪟 Transparency: We are not in this to make a huge profit. Instead, we want to give back by organising various projects and events that benefit the local community and environment. And we stand by this! If you are wondering what we do with any of the money from the sales, how sustainable a brand really is, or anything really, just ask! We are here to help and inform❔

This truly is Ireland at its best, we wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the world right now 😍 Beach & sea 🌊 mountains ⛰️ climbing 🧗 cycling🚲 camping 🏕️ something for everyone!

Trading in your old gear is not only good for the environment, but also makes going on adventures more affordable for others. You will be able to buy high quality gear for a maximum of 50% of the new price, even if the item is like new. We are hoping that more affordable high quality gear will encourage more people to get outdoors and active! 🚣‍♀️

Consider trading in your unused gear to help others get out and about. Or as we like to say, gear down so others can gear up!

Have a look at the stuff you can trade in at Requipped! The list is definitely not exclusive, so if you have something that you're unsure of, just send us a message 📨

We take items from any of the brands Booley stocks (booley.ie/pages/brands), as well as brands of similar quality; think of Haglöfs, Kathmandu, Montane & Marmot. We want to make sure that what we sell in Requipped lives up to the same standards, both environmental and quality-wise, as what we stock at Booley! Not sure about the brand? Just ask!

In our previous post, we explained what Requipped is about. But how do you trade in gear? 🔧

We can't run Requipped without your help; if you don't trade in the gear, others can't buy it. So we encourage all outdoorsy people to dive deep into your wardrobes and sheds, to find the gear you no longer use! Think clothing👖, camping gear⛺, water sport stuff🌊, anything outdoors really 🌞

When we evaluate and price the item(s), we find out their new price in case you haven't included it, and categorise it into a quality category: Excellent Condition, Lightly Worn, or Well Worn. Once the value is set, you will receive Booley Buillions on your email. Booley Buillions are points which can be spent online or in store, on both the Booley and Requipped collections! One Booley Buillion = one cent.

Introducing: Requipped! 🍀♻️

It's hard to avoid the topic of climate change. But being involved in the outdoor industry means climate change action is extra close to our heart. We know exactly what we'll lose if we don't take action right now. 🏕

Therefore, are exited to introduce Requipped: A second hand outdoor gear store! Stay tuned for all the info needed to get involved, or have a look at booley.ie/requipped
