Outing Club Gear
One of the main functions of HOC is to provide the College Community with gear to borrow for personal outings.  Over the last few years HOC has begun to accumulate a large stockpile of quality new gear and will continue to add more gear in coming years.

There is currently no up-to-date inventory of the gear available at HOC.   We hope to have an inventory done in the near future.  When one becomes available it will be posted here.

In the mean time this list will provide you with a general idea of what HOC has to offer.

XC Skiing
(XC Ski packages can be rented for the entire winter.  This is from the first significant snow fall until April 1st.  There is a $60 deposit required to rent the ski package (skis, boots and poles).  HOC will accept check, credit card, or cash, although we prefer not to take cash.)
3-pin, NNN and SNS Skis and boots Poles

HOC does not charge a rental fee or require a deposit on any equiptment (except for XC-Ski packages).  We do charge late fees on all gear of $1/day that HOC has open hours.  In other words if the gear is due Monday and it is returned Thursday, that is $1.  Please help is keep our gear free to borrow by returning your gear on the day it is due, and in the same condition that you borrowed it.  That way everyone can enjoy the outdoors in the same way that you did.  Thanks, The Officers.
