Consignment Astral Footwear & PFDs: Built for the Nantahala Gorge

Astral is the gold standard for river performance, and at Nantahala Gear Xchange, we bring you their "Nature First" gear for a fraction of retail prices. Whether you are looking for the legendary grip of Astral Loyak water shoes or the industry-leading safety of a Green Jacket PFD, our consignment selection is curated for paddlers who need gear that performs when the river gets technical.

Score 40-60% off on technical footwear and life jackets. Known for their "sticky" G-Rubber and sustainable design, Astral products are built to survive the wet, rugged terrain of Western North Carolina.

Locals from Bryson City and river guides from across the Nantahala Gorge trust our used Astral stock because every piece is inspected for hull-scrubbing durability. From the Brewers and Hiyaks to high-float life vests, we help you gear up for the Cascades or a casual float down the river without the "new gear" price tag.

Inventory rotates fast—Asheville locals and Atlanta paddlers know that used Astral gear is a rare find. Grab your trail-to-river essentials today; because as we say, it’s even better the second time around.
