Gift Ideas for Your şÚÁĎłÔąĎÍř-Obsessed Loved Ones

Coleman 1900 Collection 3-in-1 Propane Stove ($230)

Coleman released a collection of car-camping products that hearken back to the 122-year-old company’s original designs, but with more than a century of tech upgrades, like burners that can crank 24,000 BTUs and a rotary ­igniter to light them without matches. The three-in-one grill, griddle, and stove turned out perfect burgers and pancakes.


Arc’teryx Alpha Parka ($999)

We tailgated in this 850-fill, RDS-certified goose-down parka after a nighttime skimo workout in temperatures near zero with 20-mile-per-hour winds. The liquid-crystal polymer ripstop shell made short work of hoary gusts, while ample loft left testers feeling invincible in the freezing cold.


Petzl Nao RL Headlamp ($170)

Petzl updated its ultra-endurance headlamp to deliver 750 additional lumens (1,500 total) via a 3,200-milliampere-hour lithium-ion battery that sits comfortably at the back of the user’s head. The result is a lamp with a balanced feel that’s 35 grams lighter than its predecessor and can last long enough for an evening of running in the dark when set to energy-saving reactive mode.


Yeti Roadie 48 Wheeled Cooler ($450)

Yeti created the most agile large rolling chest we tested, thanks to a taller profile and a burly telescoping handle that’s more akin to overnight luggage than what we’d expect on a cooler. That, coupled with the brand’s legendary durability and ice retention, made this our favorite car-camping container.


Danner °Â´Çłľ±đ˛Ô’s Douglas Boots ($260)

Danner °Â´Çłľ±đ˛Ô’s Douglas Boots
(Photo: Courtesy Danner)

If you have room for only one boot on a mixed-bag adventure, make it this one. It’s good for hiking and so much more. The Douglas has a 100 percent full-grain leather upper, so it dresses up with a nice pair of jeans, but it’s also a respectable day hiker, aided by a grippy Danner Wedge outsole, supportive steel shank, and Gore-Tex liner.


SS22 Snow Peak x Pendleton Towel Blanket ($135)

SS22 Snow Peak x Pendleton Towel Blanket

Two great outdoor-style powerhouses came together to create this 70-by-40-inch towel-blanket hybrid, which is larger than a beach towel but portable enough to throw in a daypack. ­Pendleton western patterns hide silhouettes of simple Snow Peak Takibi stoves on a durable loop-cotton knit.


MiiR Cold Brew Filter ($14.95) and Tomo Insulated Vessel ($59.95)

MiiR Cold Brew Filter and Tomo Insulated Vessel

MiiR’s stainless steel Cold Brew Filter slips easily into the 33-ounce Tomo, and steeps lovely cold brew through micro-perforations that were so tiny, nearly no sediment was let through—even when grounds were extra fine. The result is a delightfully crisp cold brew in an insulated vessel meant for two happy campers.


Exped Megamat Max 15 Duo ($460)

Exped made the thickness of their already-warm and cush Megamat 50 percent greater, resulting in a car camping pad so luxurious our testers found themselves preferring it to their mattresses at home. On top of an impressive R-Value of 10.6 (they suggest it for temps down to 70 below zero) and perfectly firm cushioning, we fell in love with how supple and quiet the 50-denier stretch fabric was on the sleeping surface.

The Tin Cloth’s every function aligns with Filson’s classic aesthetic, from saddle-grade leather straps and tear-resistant waxed cotton to the comfortable quilted back and spill-friendly nylon interior. Bonus: the front pouch is sized just right for a wallet, phone, and passport, with a large flap enclosure that adds a layer of theft protection.

High-quality binoculars can help you spot routes and wildlife, and they generally bring added detail to your adventures. At only 4.5 by 4.6 inches, and an impressively light 12.4 ounces, this dependable pair comes with a lifetime warranty.


State Bags Logan Suitcase ($220)

Giving your kiddo their own suitcase lightens your load and offers them ownership over what they bring on a trip. This purpose-built carry-on boasts two compartments made to house clothes, plus an exterior side strap that will hold a stuffy. There’s also an easy-access front pouch for coloring books and markers. We fell in love with it while watching our kid deliberate for nearly an hour over the right combination of sleep-time companions to pack in the main compartment.


Mountain Hardwear Stretchdown Light Shacket ($230)

It looks like a beefy flannel, but this shacket has some serious technical chops: a stretch-woven, 20-denier nylon-elastane exterior and 700-fill RDS-certified down insulation, which, despite its soft-shell-like construction, delivers plenty of protection on cold hikes and stands up to snags, so it’ll keep pace no matter how ambitious or chill the itinerary.

We strongly believe that a comfortable outdoor après-ski situation is one of the great joys of cold-weather travel. The large-area heat array inside this USB-chargeable outdoor-specific butt heater folds down to the size of a file folder when not in use. Trust us—it will keep your bum cozy as you tailgate for hours on your coldest ski vacations.


Nice Seats Airplane Seat Covers ($59)

Any seasoned traveler who has had to dig into an airplane seat for a lost phone or earbuds knows that those things are just plain gross. Stretchy elastane sides and a 100-percent cotton base make this cover super easy to slip over any airplane seat while delivering sheets-at-home comfort. These aesthetic seat covers will upgrade the frequent flier in your life to a first-class feel of cleanliness and luxury.

Never get stuck on the road without a reusable drinking vessel. This 12-ounce lidded silicone cup holds its structure when filled with liquids, but accordion folds down into a 2 by 3.5-inch disk that can squeeze into the smallest spaces, from a stuffed backpack to a pants pocket. The tough part? How to pick between the twenty fun colors.

A slightly relaxed fit and large kangaroo pocket give this ­vintage-inspired anorak some serious Scandinavian style. And the 700-fill down insulation and high neck will keep you warm in Swedish-level cold.


Toast Cashmere Scarf ($270)

Toast makes everything to withstand both the elements and the whims of fashion. This scarf is no exception: created from 50 percent cashmere, 50 percent sheep’s wool, it provides plenty of real estate to keep the luxury seeker on your list cozy this winter.


Tecovas The Doc Boots ($295)

You don’t need to attend a rodeo to wear western boots. These have double-stitched leather and were constructed with a process that involves over 200 steps. The flexible upper means they’re exceptionally comfortable and so durable you’ll want to put them in your will.


Hestra Nordic Mittens ($60)

Fewer than 100 people in the world are certified master glove cutters—a 400-year-old title earned after years of mentorship—and two of them work at Hestra. These Nordic mittens fit like they were custom-made for your hands. Plus, the soft, blended outer and wool liner are warm enough for 20-degree walks about town.

Citizen Promaster Dive ($356.25)

Citizen Promaster Dive

Aquatic adventurers, this is your next watch. The Citizen Promaster Dive is the perfect device for expeditions on land or at sea. With a color scheme and shape to resemble the majestic features of an orca whale, you can dive up to 200 meters in impeccable style. The watch is powered by any light with Eco-Drive technology, and never needs a battery.


Sitka Ambary LS Shirt ($89)

The Ambary LS sports a classic look that will age well. That’s good news, since it’s made from hemp, recycled polyester, and elastane with four times the tensile strength of cotton. The material becomes more relaxed over time, so it will remain in rotation for decades.


Block Shop Textiles Parasol Robe ($155)

Block Shop Textiles Parasol Robe

The fabric of this unisex, organic-cotton full-length robe is made by master printers in Jaipur, India. The fifth-generation ­artisans use hand-chiseled blocks to create unique designs, delivering an aesthetic that only care, earthy azo pigments, and a little elbow grease can produce.


DUER Performance Denim Tailored Jumpsuit ($159)

This Denim Jumpsuit from Vancouver, Canada based Duer is a true utility player. It’s built from cotton, polyester, and lycra, which means it moves like athleisure while delivering refined aesthetics that are respectable in the office and for drinks after. Testers found it just as comfortable during an eight mile day of touristing as it was for sitting at a desk for nine hours.


Sweaty Betty Mission Waterproof Parka ($258)

Sure, this insulated puffy’s oversized profile looks like something you’d see on a New York City fashion blog. But don’t let that fool you. The recycled polyester shell fabric boasts three-layer waterproof-breathable construction and sealed seams, so you’ll stay dry in snowstorms and in busy, slushy intersections.


Patagonia Down Sweater ($279)

The Down Sweater has been a staple in outdoorspeoples’ closets for decades, for good reason. Its handsome symmetrical baffles and light insulative layer make it a perfect standalone jacket on mild shoulder season nights but can also be layered with a shell to rip pow on a ten-degree ski day.


Astrid Wild Wool Fleece Jacket ($199)

The recycled Italian wool mix makes this fleece wear more like a sweater than a jacket—which means it can dress up for date night. The Astrid Wild Wool Fleece Jacket is light enough for a respectable adventure, while the oversized collar and soft touch are all about comfort.


Bombas Slipper ($45)

If a slipper and a sock had a lovechild, it would be these ridiculously comfortable footwear pieces from Bombas. A super supple interior brushed liner delivers all of the comforts of your most beloved sock, while the bottom is texturized with grippy silicone so you won’t find yourself sliding around your hardwood floors to get your morning coffee.

Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar ($599.99)

“The sheer number of features the 955 solar watch can support is just bananas,” raved one tester, a professional ultra-running coach. It boasts a staggering seven clock features, 15 health monitoring features,19 daily smart features, six safety and tracking features, and 54 (yep, 54) training and analysis features. Highlights include access to full-color built-in maps and a nuanced training readiness score. All of this, and the watch can still track in GPS mode for 49 hours on a single charge thanks to its ability to harness solar energy.


Under Armour Flow Synchronicity Running Shoe ($140)

Female testers delighted in a shoe that legitimately felt like it was built specifically for women thanks to their dialed-in fit and ride that absolutely ripped. The single-piece midsole and outsole proved remarkably resilient, which testers noted felt like a spring propelling them forward with each step. That extra pep was enhanced by the bantam 8.3-ounce weight, while seamless integration with the MapMyRun App made keeping track of those smoking-fast runs a breeze.


Rapha Pro Team Training Jersey ($125)

Elastic grips at the sleeves and hem kept the Pro Team close to our bodies while we hammered. Meanwhile, its airy weave was super breathable, making it our favorite jersey for our hardest gravel and road biking workouts. This preference was reinforced by the handsome, bold colors and contrasting sleeves.


Chirp Wheel 4-Pack ($129.99)

These four massage wheels are purpose-built to relieve aches and pains in your neck or back and for muscle recovery anywhere on the body thanks to the spine-friendly channel running along the center. The pack ranges from the downright relaxing 12-inch gentle wheel—ideal for releasing low back tension at the end of a work day—to an ouchie-yet-therapeutic 4-incher that a tester used to unfreeze his neck when it was in full spasm.

Endure Gore-Tex Jacket ($230)

Endure Gore-Tex Jacket

Rain or shine, the Endure Gore-Tex Jacket from GOREWEAR is your ticket to more time outside. With a lightweight and durable waterproof design, this jacket will maximize your adventures and eliminate the off-season blues. Plus, the jacket’s compact packability and stow-away pocket are perfect for travel, destination adventures, and life on the road.


DAEHLIE Coverage Jacket ($120)

This ultra-light softshell jacket has just the right weather-repellency to breathability ratio, which allowed users to get after it during highly aerobic, rainy, snowy runs without sweating out. Light mesh insulation in the interior helps move moisture away from skin while delivering a nice thermal bump for the coldest workouts.


Flora Code Trio Bundle Probiotic Supplement ($165)

Don’t let the fancy ingredients—flora dust, golden tonic, and supra violet—distract from the fact that these probiotic supplements are all about business. That business is building an active healthy colony of beneficial bacteria in your gut by delivering 100 million colony-forming units in a dormant form of Bacillus. Those little organisms wake up once they reach 98.6 degrees in your body. Once fired up by that heat, they reproduce like crazy.


POC Omne Air MIPS ($160)

Testers loved the extremely low profile of the Omne Air MIPS which delivered both high breathability and an incredibly light weight. While light in material, it was heavy on safety tech with integrated brain rattle-preventing MIPS along with a hearty PC shell that delivered structural integrity throughout.


Alo Airlift Intrigue Bra and 7/8 High Waist Airlift Legging Set ($176)

Alo’s high-stretch polyester Airlift material wicked moisture with aplomb during hot outdoor HIIT workouts and hot yoga. Its four-way stretch proved supportive for larger busted testers while still moving handily as a fitness piece. As an added bonus, the leggings can be worn sans underwear with confidence thanks to a smoothing panel on the front.


Alo Warrior Yoga Mat ($100)

We came for the super rad colorways like light green Honeydew and the self-explanatory Hot Pink, but stayed for the super luxe polyurethane leather top that hugged our legs like an old friend in savasana. The supportive upper is paired with a sticky rubber made from all non-toxic substances and clung to wood floors.

Jackery Solar 1500 Generator ($2,699)

Looking for a long-running generator that can power most appliances, including a blender or a computer—but loathe the obnoxious growl of a combustion engine in the wilderness? The Jackery Solar 1500 generator pairs a portable power station with four powerful solar panels to deliver a staggering 1,534 watt-hours. Translation: you can keep an entire household running for weeks if you have to.


Nebula Cosmos Laser 4K Projector ($2,200)

Powerful lasers allow this lunch-box-size 4K projector to produce crisp, detailed images at a wildly bright 2,400 ISO lumens. That means you can watch a movie outside during the daytime. It also delivers near theater-quality sound through dual ten-watt speakers and dual five-watt tweeters.


Sonos Roam Wireless Speaker ($179)

Sonos is known for incredible sound in a sleek package, but we were more than a little impressed with the quality and volume of this Coke-bottle-size speaker (which weighs less than a pound)—from crooning highs to powerful bass drops. It’s waterproof, dustproof, and designed with internal shock absorption, so we felt safe taking it rafting down the Rogue River.


MoMA Design Store TEAC TN-400BTSEWA Bluetooth Turntable ($550)

Lo-fi, meet high-tech: this turntable connects to any Bluetooth-compatible speaker, so you can listen wirelessly to your parents’ vinyl collection. Regardless of what speakers they prefer, the audiophiles in your life will rejoice at the precise tracking produced by the low-torque DC motor and the ­S-shaped tone arm.

Insta360 built on the significant feature set from the brand’s One X2 by adding a sensor and massive 2.3-inch touchscreen. It can shoot at 5.7K in 360-degree mode and lets you edit footage in the field. An “invisible” selfie stick (meaning it won’t show up in the frame) and stabilizing technology guarantee you won’t miss a ­moment of your wildest backcountry days.


Knog Quokka Run 150 Headlamp ($35)

This USB rechargeable headlamp boasts a Translucent silicone strap with a red-halo effect for improved visibility from all angles. On top of winning you cool points, those features elevate this four-mode, 150-lumen headlamp into an incredibly visible tool for night running.


Pale Blue USB-C AA and AAA Rechargeable Smart Batteries ($30/each pack of 4)

Rechargeable batteries are not new, but we are losing our minds over these from Pale Blue. They’re incredibly easy to use and reliable. Each one plugs into a USB-C cord (no pesky specialized charging station) and has a built-in LED light that lets you know how much juice they have. They have a lifespan akin to 1,000 traditional batteries and charge five times faster—just two hours.


HigherDose Infrared Sauna Blanket ($599)

Do you know someone who is obsessed with the benefits of using a sauna but lives in a place too small to ever build a full-sized one? This 420-watt, 5-amp, sleeping bag-shaped blanket will deliver them the same benefits that a cedar addition to their house would at approximately 1/20th of the price.

Classy Winter Gifts for the Foodie in Your Life

Hydro Flask Serving Bowl ($55)

Every outdoor-cooking enthusiast needs a bowl big enough to throw together salad for four. This three-quart container includes a lid, and its double-walled construction keeps hot dishes hot.


Golden Rule Spirits Canned Cocktails ($20 for four)

The canned-cocktail scene is out of control, which is why we are thankful for this deliciously simple 3.4-ounce margarita and old-fashioned from Golden Rule. They slap like real cocktails, boast a high-octane alcohol-by-volume rating, and contain fewer than five ingredients.


Kati von Lehman Rose Coffee Mug ($32)

This hand-thrown mug is so bespoke that the maker can’t confirm exactly how many fluid ounces each one holds. That wonderfully imperfect handmade geometry, coupled with the matte rose finish, creates a mug as beautiful as it is comforting.


Our Place Perfect Pot ($165)

Our Place Perfect Pot

This 10-by-5.5-inch nontoxic enameled cast-iron pot handily replaces eight single-use cooking devices (a stockpot, a Dutch oven, a saucepot, a roasting rack, a steamer, a strainer, a braiser, and a spoon rest) and does a better job than each of them. Give the best gift of all: declutter the kitchen of the chef on your list.

uKeg GO 64 Carbonated Growler ($119)

uKeg GO 64 Carbonated Growler

Go ahead and consider yourself the most popular member of any camping, ski, or hiking trip when you show up with a GrowlerWerks 64-ounce uKeg GO topped off with carbonated goodness. Affordable, lightweight, and easy to use, the genius carbonation system automatically maintains freshness and optimal carbonation for weeks. Plus, the double wall stainless steel vacuum insulation keeps beverages refreshingly cold all day.


Gray Whale Gin ($40)

Unexpected ingredients like kombu and almonds give this gin an umami kick. We loved this remarkably balanced drink so much on the rocks that we didn’t bother mixing it with tonic. Once empty, the bottle made an attractive impromptu vase on the kitchen sill.


Omsom East Asian Sauce Sampler ($29 for six sauces)

Omsom East Asian Sauce Sampler

Buckle up for wildly flavorful, easy-to-nail East Asian meals. Each of the ready-made dinner-sauce packets—like Japanese yuzu miso glaze, Korean spicy bulgogi, and Chinese spicy mala—will help you bring these favorites into your repertoire.


AplĂłs Hemp NA Spirits ($48)

AplĂłs partnered with James Beard honoree and master mixologist Lynnette Marrero to create a non-alcoholic spirit that delivers nuanced flavors with yuzu, rosemary, basil, cucumber, and dandelion. Perhaps the best part is that it provides a slight head buzz that leaves you with none of the ill effects of drinking booze: Its 20 milligrams of broad-spectrum hemp delivers a light lift without the heavier high of its THC counterparts.


Wonder Valley Olive Oil ($36)

Wonder Valley Olive Oil

A beautifully thought-out meal can be quickly ruined at the last step if finished with bland olive oil. Thankfully, Wonder Valley created this peppery and herbaceous olive oil from sustainably grown young olives. It livens up everything from simple greens thrown into a bowl to a soup cooked for days.


These Are The Days Heirloom Wheat Pancake Mix ($15)

Pancake mix is the perfect adventure companion. It’s high in activity-fueling carbohydrates, a breeze to transport, wildly easy to make, and objectively delicious. Unfortunately, many of these mixes are an over-processed gut bomb. In contrast, all of the grains in this heirloom wheat pancake mix are 100 percent stone ground, so they retain all of their nutritional value and the mix stands out for its depth of flavor.


Shaquanda Will Feed You Hot Pepper Sauce ($10)

We’d wager one bottle of this delicious hot pepper sauce that you won’t find a savory food its spice won’t elevate. It is a true put-on-everything sauce thanks to a completely balanced mix of ingredients: hot chili peppers, onions, ginger, lemon juice, horseradish, turmeric, mustard, and apple cider vinegar.


CamelBak 25-ounce Wine Bottle ($30)

The slowed-down pace of camping makes it the perfect setting to enjoy your best bottles of wine. Do those bottles justice by decanting them in this vacuum-sealed 750-mil container. It will keep them at their ideal temperature, regardless of the weather, and is much less likely to fall over thanks to its grippy silicone base.


Acid League Big League Vinegar Kit ($60)

Do you have someone you are buying a gift for that loves to cook, and already has a completely stocked kitchen? Blow their minds with the truly unique flavors—Meyer Lemon Honey, Garden Heat, Apple Cider Maple, Mango Jalapeño—in this cooking vinegar kit that can dramatically change any flavor profile.

Almost anywhere in public—from the gym to the the store to the classroom—you’re likely to see folks leaning into the athleisure trend, which focuses on comfort and performance ahead of all else. Luckily, gone is the era of schlubby sweatsuits. Now you can look good and feel good all day long. These are some of our favorite picks from the booming category.

Adsum Classic Logo Sweatshirt ($165)

Your athleisure drawer would be understocked without a durable cotton sweatshirt. This heavy crew is beautifully simple, and the brushed-cotton interior made it cozy enough to keep on for an entire three-day weekend. (S–XL)


Fjällräven Abisko Tights ($175)

These don’t look out of place in any hip coffee shop, but they’re decidedly high-tech. A polyamide blend, plus reinforcements in the knees and rear, make the Abisko the only casual wear testers will be using for ski mountaineering come spring. (°Â´Çłľ±đ˛Ô’s XXS–XXL, men’s XS–XXXL)


Rabbit ˛Ń±đ˛Ô’s EZ Tee Shirt ($45)

The EZ Tee was the plushest and highest-performing shirt we tested, thanks to its ridiculously supple and stretchy polyester-spandex fabric. Although it looks like a casual cotton tee, it kicked butt on runs over ten miles. (S–XXL)


Prana °Â´Çłľ±đ˛Ô’s Electa Shorts ($59)

Deemed the best Lycra shorts reviewers tried this year, the Electa impressed with several features: an extra-wide waistband, a midthigh length, a pair of cleverly designed two-compartment pockets to stash various valuables, and a triangle gusset that facilitates deep yoga poses. (XS–XL)


Vuori °Â´Çłľ±đ˛Ô’s Halo Performance Hoodie ($89)

As soft as a week-old puppy, the Halo delivers all the positives of a classic hoodie, minus the schlub factor. Testers loved how breathable and stretchy the polyester-elastane blend was beneath a shell. (XXS–XXL)


AllBirds R&R Sweatpants ($98)

AllBirds’ shoes are known for comfort, and these joggers follow suit. A magical amalgam of cotton, hemp, and Tencel moves like a synthetic but still has the feel and durability of natural materials. (XS–XXXL)


Coal Provo Hat ($32)

We had a hard time taking off this airy cap. Made with synthetic materials and a simple elastic adjustment system, it fits a variety of different head shapes.


Bömbas Black Hive Collection Quarter Socks ($12.50)

Thanks to elastic arch support, these socks didn’t slip during our longest runs, and the weight was just right: warm on cold mornings without feeling bulky. (S–XL)


Bn3th ˛Ń±đ˛Ô’s Entourage Underwear ($35)

Details like the wide waistband and chafe-free seam placement made the Entourage so comfortable that testers wore them to sleep, as well as for hours after their toughest workouts. (XXS–XXL)


NoBull Quilted Pullover ($98)

This sweater is the most aesthetic use of synthetic insulation we’ve seen in ages. The bumps of loft generate incredible warmth under a shell but are still breathable enough for kettlebell sessions. (˛Ń±đ˛Ô’s S–XL, women’s XS–XL)
