Rent outdoor equipment instead of buying - sustainable adventures

03/29/2025 by Fabian Altmann
Outdoor and mountain sports fans know that the right equipment can make or break the success and safety of a tour. But do you really have to buy every piece of equipment needed for a particular adventure? We posed this question to the Alpine Club a few months ago. Today we present Eddy's Adventure, who have a clear answer: No! Because with its rental model, the company offers a sustainable and cost-effective alternative for anyone who enjoys being out in nature.

From the idea to the outdoor revolution

Eddy's Adventure was founded out of a passion for being outdoors and experiencing unforgettable moments. The two managing directors Marissa Heinrich and Frank Hinrichs are enthusiastic outdoor fans themselves and realized that many people buy expensive equipment that is rarely used in the end. The solution? A model where you first rent, test and then decide whether it's really worth buying. This is not only easy on the wallet, but also on the environment.

The right equipment for every tour

The company relies on high-quality branded products that have been specially developed for extreme conditions. Anyone planning a bivouac adventure in the Alps, a ski tour in the Western Alps or an expedition lasting several days will find the right outdoor equipment to rent here. The range includes sleeping bags from EXPED, Pajak and Mountain Equipment, sleeping mats from NEMO Equipment or Therm-a-Rest, crampons and ice axes from Petzel, avalanche equipment from Ortovox, tents from MSR, Nordisk, Nemo Equipment, Wechsel Tents and bike bags from Ortlieb and Cyclite. GPS navigation systems are also part of the range.

Sustainability through rental and re-use

The outdoor industry is facing the challenge of becoming more sustainable without compromising product performance. Eddy's Adventure has internalized this idea from the very beginning. Instead of high-quality outdoor equipment lying unused in the cellar, it is optimally utilized. And if a customer falls in love with a product, there is the option of buying it at a reduced price after the rental period. At the same time, the company offers a re-use category in which used but fully functional products are offered directly for sale - another step towards a circular economy.

The future of outdoor equipment: renting instead of owning

The Eddy's Adventure concept is ideal for anyone who wants to use high-quality outdoor equipment flexibly and cost-effectively without having to buy it outright. It is particularly exciting for adventurers who are regularly looking for new challenges and for families who need equipment for their children. Thanks to the option of renting first and buying when you like it, you are always optimally equipped without having to make a long-term commitment.

PowderGuide interviewed the Alpine Club on precisely these topics at the beginning of the winter. You can find the interview here. Eddy's Adventure is a proud cooperation partner of the Alpine Club and supports its members with high-quality outdoor equipment for a wide range of mountain and nature adventures. Through this partnership, outdoor enthusiasts benefit from flexible rental options and a sustainable alternative to direct purchase. More information is available at: www.eddysadventure.de.
