Try Before You Buy

Try Before You Buy. Keep What They Love.

Why spend $300 on a fly rod your kid holds twice? Rent it first, use it for real, and buy out only the gear that earns a permanent spot in the truck.

Try it in real life.

Your kid actually uses the gear — on the water, on the trail, on the course. Not in a store.

Love it? Make it theirs.

Buy out any piece at a member discount. No markup, no hassle.

Not the right fit? No problem.

We swap it out and send what's next. You never get stuck with gear that doesn't work.

Our Story

Why We Built This

HeyBuddy Outdoors started in our garage-literally. After buying, storing, and eventually donating gear our kids outgrew in months, we realized there had to be a better way. We're parents of three who believe the best childhood memories happen outside, not in front of screens, and that too many families are fighting devices, clutter, and cost at the exact same time.

So we built HeyBuddy Outdoors as a premium kids outdoor gear library - not a subscription box. We help families try the right gear, in the right size, at the right moment, without filling the garage with stuff they'll outgrow by next season.

Every piece we send out is gear we'd feel good using with our own kids. We're starting in Atlanta because this is home, and because we think more families deserve an easier way to choose campouts, creek walks, range days, fishing trips, and backyard adventures over one more screen.

FAQ

Questions? We've Got Answers

HeyBuddy Outdoors is Atlanta's first outdoor gear rental library built specifically for kids. We deliver clean, properly-sized gear directly to your door — fly fishing rods, camping equipment, hiking boots, golf sets, and more — serving Atlanta and surrounding suburbs including Alpharetta, Roswell, Marietta, and Buckhead. No store runs, no shipping maze.

HeyBuddy plans start at $39/month for the Explorer tier, which includes curated gear for one activity, right-size guarantee, seasonal swaps, and free delivery and pickup. We're straightforward about what's included — no hidden fees, no contracts. If you want to see the full plan breakdown, it's on the pricing section of this page.

We’re a kids’ outdoor gear rental library for Atlanta families. Pick a plan, tell us what your kids love, and we deliver the right gear — clean, sized right, ready for the weekend. They outgrow it? We swap it out. No buying, no storing, no guilt.

Every plan includes warm-season and cold-season swaps — when the calendar turns, so does your gear. Growth spurt? Our Right Size Guarantee covers a free swap to the right fit. Want more swaps? Add them for a small fee, or go Trailblazer for unlimited.

That's the whole point. Every plan includes seasonal swaps — when the gear stops fitting or your family is ready for the next activity, you request a swap and we handle it. Wrong size? Our Right Size Guarantee covers a free fix. Kids grow fast and we plan for it.

HeyBuddy is built for kids ages 5–10 — the years when they're growing fastest, trying everything, and outgrowing gear every season. We size and curate specifically for this range, from first-timer kits to step-up setups for kids who are ready to go further. If your kid is slightly outside that range, reach out and we'll tell you honestly whether we can help.

Camping, hiking, fishing, fly fishing, biking, archery, field sports, hockey, golf, and even spectator gear like sideline chairs and canopies. If it gets kids outside, we’re adding it.

Yep. No contracts, no penalties, no hard feelings. Just return any outstanding gear in good shape and you’re free.

Mid-June 2026, starting right here in Atlanta. Jump on the waitlist to get early access and a heads-up when we’re ready to roll.

Not yet — we're starting in Atlanta because it's home, and because we want to do it right before we expand. If you're not in Atlanta, jump on the waitlist and tell us where you are. We're tracking demand by market and will let you know when we're headed your way.

We love when that happens. Let us know and we’ll work out a purchase option at a member discount. The whole point is helping them find gear they’re obsessed with.

Kids are kids — normal wear and tear is totally covered. If something takes serious damage, we’ll figure it out together case by case. No surprise fees. Just treat the gear like you’d treat a friend’s.

All our gear is safety-checked, properly sized, and age-appropriate. That said, adventure means a little risk — that’s part of the fun. We’re happy to help with gear fit and activity readiness. For anything activity-specific, we’d point you to a local guide or instructor.

That’s exactly what the HeyBuddy Compass is for! It matches your family to the right spots based on ages and interests. For Atlanta-area families, we love the Chattahoochee, Lake Lanier, and North Georgia mountain streams.
