Simple, Flexible, and Reliable
At Gearshop Hire, we make renting outdoor gear easy and stress-free — so you can focus on the adventure ahead.
✔️ Book your gear online for the dates you need — and that’s all you pay for! Whether it's a weekend escape or a week-long mission, you only pay for your actual hire dates, not for any time the gear spends in transit.
✔️ Pay securely when you book, including a fully refundable $50 security bond*. This bond is simply there to help us keep our gear in top condition for you and the next adventurer. Once your gear is returned in good shape, we’ll refund your bond straight away — no stress.
*$100 security bond for Personal Locator Beacon.
Two Easy Options for Pickup or Delivery
1. Pick up and drop off in-store (Nelson):
If you're local or passing through, you’re welcome to collect and return your gear directly from our Nelson store — and meet our friendly team of outdoor specialists while you’re at it!
2. Nationwide courier delivery and return:
No matter where you are in New Zealand, we’ll courier your gear out to you ahead of time, so you have everything before your hire period starts. Please note that when using the courier option, there is a minimum of 3 days from ordering to the start of your hire to allow for processing and delivery.
When you’re done, just pack it back up using the pre-paid return courier ticket we provide, and call the courier for an easy pickup — simple as that!
✔️ You only pay for the days you’re using the gear — not for any days it's in transit.

Maximum performance, minimal size.
The technology-packed EVO5+ fits in the palm of your hand. Compact and intuitive to use during a search, both everyday and occasional backcountry enthusiasts will love this device.
The EVO5 is the smallest avalanche transceiver ever designed by the ARVA brand. At only 11 cm in height and 7 cm in width, it is one of the most compact detectors on the market. Its size and lightweight 170 g make it easy to forget you're carrying it, without compromising performance in an emergency situation.
The EVO5+ capitalizes on ARVA’s 40-year expertise to fit in the palm of your hand.
Our R&D team pushed the size/performance ratio past the edge of the envelope to create a device that fits perfectly in your jacket pocket. With a 50m search strip width, group check, marking function, and an automatic revert-to-transmit mode, the EVO5 is jam packed with all of the essential functions needed to rescue an avalanche victim.
Equipped with a backlit screen and a speaker that emits a precise, modulated beep, this transceiver will efficiently and effectively guide you to the burial zone.
The EVO5 holster is designed for you to more efficiently and effectively use your avalanche transceiver. The EVO5 keeper cord is equipped with a carabiner that allows the user to easily clip their device to the holster. This holster allows users to choose between wearing the shoulder strap on the right or left. The waist strap detaches from the holster and can be used as a belt.
