AUTC gear can only be borrowed by AUTC members. On non club trips (trips not offered on the AUTC mailing list) each club member may only hire one persons worth of gear. There is no limit on gear hire for club trips, see the full gear loan policy for more details.

​

• Gear is given out on a first-come, first-serve basis, giving priority to club trips. All you will need to do is fill out an intentions form, then come to the gear locker in Hiwa on Monday (no excuse to miss the social nights!) at the following times with your intentions ID

  • AUTC club trips: 18:00

  • Non-club trips: 18:15

• We will then give you whatever gear we have at the time. Gear will only be given out the week before your trip, i.e you can't rent gear for a trip going out later than the following Monday.

• Gear return will be at 17:45 on Monday. You are expected to return gear in a clean and dry state. If this is not possible (like in the case of drying tents) you can return those items the following week. You are not able to rent gear if you can not guarantee it can not be returned (either by you or someone else) at this specified time.

• By borrowing club gear, you are agreeing to everything listed under the AUTC Gear Loan Policy.

​

If these times do not work for you, please flick gear@autc.org.nz an email and we will see if we can find a time to get gear to you, however this will only be possible in exceptional circumstances. The conditions under which circumstances are considered exceptional can be extended by offerings of chocolate.

​

Disclaimer:​ All members of the AUTC gear team are volunteers and likely are not going to go massively out of their way to get gear to you if you cannot make a specified time. Similarily, we cannot always guarantee that our gear system works 100% of the time and you will need to bear with us through various hiccups that our system can have. Please email gear@autc.org.nz if you have any questions.​​​

Alpine gear can be collected at the same time as AUTC gear.
