How the Trybe It Program Saves Families Hundreds on Sports Gear

Outfitting young athletes isn’t cheap and a recent study showed the amount continues to rise — and when your player is growing, changing sports, or switching positions, that investment adds up fast. Bats, gloves, bikes, cleats, and gear bags often come with hefty price tags and zero flexibility.That’s why smart families are turning to Gear Trybe’s Trybe It program to save money on gear — a modern, flexible way to access elite-level sports gear without paying full price upfront. With low monthly payments, the ability to switch anytime, and the option to buy only when you’re sure, Trybe It is helping families across the country save money on sports gear while still giving their kids the best.


💸 Save Money on Sports Gear With Real-Life Flexibility

Instead of spending $400 or more on a single piece of gear you hope your athlete likes, Trybe It lets you:

  • 🏠 Try gear at home or during real games

  • 💳 Pay only a portion upfront — as little as $0 down for members

  • 🔁 Switch if it’s not the right fit

  • 🛍️ Buy anytime — and apply lease payments toward the total


🙌 Real Story: How Jerry D. Saved $200+ With Trybe It

“I wasn’t sure if the used Louisville Slugger Atlas was the right bat for my son. But I found a gently used one on Gear Trybe and decided to Trybe it first. My son loved it. I only had to pay a portion up front, and when he was ready to commit, I just paid the difference. We saved over $200 and got a bat he actually wanted to use every day.”
Jerry D., Florida

Jerry’s experience is exactly why the Trybe It model works. No guesswork. No financial regret. Just elite gear, on your terms.
