Gear Rentals

Eastside Sports offers bear canister rentals in Bishop, California for backpacking trips in the Eastern Sierra, including Yosemite, the John Muir Trail, and Inyo National Forest.

We also rent a wide range of outdoor gear for climbing, backpacking, and Sierra adventures.

Need a key piece of gear too big to travel with? Did you arrive in the Eastern Sierra and realize you forgot a key piece of gear? Decide you want to try a new activity or piece of gear, but not yet ready to spend a lot of money for the full-price item? Trying to send that highball boulder project in the Buttermilks and need more crash pads? We are local outdoor professionals ready to advise and help...and cheaper than common major retailers!

Pricing is by the day. Reservations accepted online, in store, or by phone. If you have any questions, please use the contact form or call the store for inquiries (760-873-7520).

All rentals are done in accordance with this policy for acceptance of risk, condition of gear, cancellations, refunds, etc.
