LL Bean Women's Merino Sweater - Wander Longer

92 million tons of textiles are added to landfills every year. that is the equivalent to a garbage truck full of clothes being dumped every second. This is equal to 81.5 pounds per person, per year.

The amount of times a piece of clothing is worn before it is discarded has decreased by 35%, meaning it's only worn 7-10 times in its lifetime. By buying used we are able to extend the active lifespan of an article of clothing, keeping it out of the landfill.

According to ThreadUp, if each consumer replaced one purchase of a new clothing item with a preowned one, it could lower carbon emissions by 2 billion pounds every year.

Not all brands are the same. We only carry specialty brands known for their durability and quality in the outdoor industry.

We take detailed pictures of all of our 2nd life and consignment gear to show the quality and wear of the products. You can always ask for additional pictures or reach out with any questions or concerns you might have to ensure you're confident in your purchases.

All of our items sold are clean and ready to be worn off the rack. We use NikWax Tech Wash or other technical gear cleaning products when needed. We always inspect every item for visible damage or wear that could affect the performance of the products. Every item will be evaluated and fall into one of the below grades:

• LIKE NEW - Original tags still on item
• EXCELLENT - Clean with no visible wear, fading, or usage
• GREAT - Clean with slight visible wear or fading that does not affect performance
• GOOD - Clean with possible wear or repairs that do not affect performance or function (We DO NOT accept most products in GOOD condition with an exception on vintage or specialty items)

Due to the way products are made, it is impossible to tell if a product's waterproofing or insulation is still functioning properly. Despite checking seams, lamination, or baffles, it's not always possible to tell. That is why we will never certify any insulated or waterproofing equipment as "excellent" unless it comes new with tags.
