What’s the best present for under $150?

I need the perfect present for my boyfriend's birthday! He's a cyclocross racer, mountain biker, skier, rock climber, and camper, and loves all outdoor gear and tools. Any great ideas within the $150 range?? -Sara Las Vegas, NV

So here’s what I’d like. You can buy two of any of these things, so you’re boyfriend gets one, too:

  • Reactor stove. Incredibly fast-boiling stove/pot combo that runs on canister fuel. OK, it’s $160, but you love us…I mean him…right?
  • Meteor III climbing helmet ($99). Cool and light, and a great way to protect our…his cranium from rock damage.
  • Sprinter Headlamp ($80). Powerful, 68-lumen headlamp specifically designed for running. The trails are dark around here—he and I both could use it! Rechargeable battery.
  • Kestrel 32 pack ($129). Excellent 2,000-cubic-inch-capacity pack that’s perfect for day hikes, climbing, even when on a mountain bike.
  • Silca Super Pista floor pump ($75). The perfect garage accessory for inflating bike tires,road or mountain.
  • Neo Jacket ($109). This soft shell is cut so we look good around town, but it sheds rain and wind, and has enough warmth for aerobic activities.
  • Arete Gloves ($89). Modular gloves with Gore-Tex inserts. They’ll keep our hands warm and dry while skiing!

So there you go. I’m looking forward to being surprised!
