Welcome to Village Outdoor Shop!

Thanks to everyone who supported the first annual Trey Jones Gearhead Expo on March 1, 2008. 

Five of our sales representatives were on site to discuss their brand’s latest equipment and apparel for spring 2008. Brands represented included Darn Tough, Deuter, Icebreaker, Ibex, Keen, Lowa boots, Mountain Hard Wear, MSR, Native Eyewear, Osprey packs, Pacific Outdoor, Sea to Summit, Sierra Designs, Smartwool and Thermarest.

We were overwhelmed by the response from our customer base and we met some new friends. Our sales representatives are already planning their booths for next year. Expect an even broader turn out from other brands as this event grows.

The needs-based scholarships to Philmont were further endowed by nearly 50% (48.5% to be exact).  To link the Trey Jones Philmont website, please click here.

Our new tent offerings for spring include Sierra Designs Velox, Electron RC 2 and Bedouin 4+2 Annex- a really nice family tent. The Mountain Hard Wear Helion 2, Lightpath 2 and Casa 4 (family) are new for spring. We welcome back a classic, sturdy 2 person tent in the Mountain Hard Wear Lightwedge 2.

New sleeping bags are available in the Sierra Designs Nitro 30 in 800 fill down with Flex Technology and Wild Bill 20 in synthetic- a great value at $109.99 for a 6’ long version. Kids will enjoy the built in pillow and mattress stabilizer straps in the Dragonfly 40 for girls and Big Dog 40 for boys. Kids bags fit to 5’0”.

Our new packs include an updated (longer torso and extended hipbelt) Deuter Futura Pro 42 and Futura 32. The GoLite Pinnacle and Jam offer a unique compression system for the ultralight hiker. They would also work well for a family mountain biking on the nearby New River Trail or Virginia Creeper Trail. These packs can house extra jackets and blankets for chilly spring or fall evenings and will also compact small for summer travel.

Mountain lifestyle and technical apparel are arriving weekly from Cloudveil, Ibex, Icebreaker and Mountain Hard Wear. New Salomon hiking and running shoes are in store now. Keen and Chaco have arrived. Kids Keens go fast- as they did last spring.
