Why do we do used gear?
-
sustainability
Buying used gives perfectly good gear a second life, reduces waste, and encourages a circular economy.
-
affordability
It allows people to purchase high-quality items at a fraction of the original cost.

the story
The West Hump story begins with a girl’s lifelong obsession with finding second-hand treasures and a heart that beats for the environment. The multi-generational entrepreneurial spirit that runs through my veins led me to discover a niche waiting to be filled in Port Alberni - a gear shop that would not only cater to adventurers of all kinds but also promote sustainable practices and a strong sense of community.
With all my love,
Tia
