A circular initiative for the outdoors

Outside In Common

A community of partners who keep gear in use and keep outdoor life grounded in responsibility and circularity. We are repairers, cobblers, upcyclers, consignors, and gear libraries. Together, we’re supporting a culture where gear stays in motion and the work of craft strengthens the wild places we move through.

Good work Starts here

Repair

The repair community keeps outdoor gear going longer. From sewing studios to ski shops, your craft preserves the gear people already own and anchors circularity in real, hands-on skill. Repair is where durability meets care.

Upcycle

Upcyclers and downcyclers turn spent materials into new possibilities. Your work reimagines what outdoor gear can become, keeping resources in circulation and creativity at the center of the circular economy.

Resole

Resole partners give adventurous soles a second life. Your precision and craftsmanship keep footwear out of the landfill and back on the trail, strengthening a circular outdoor culture one pair at a time.
