  • My brother, is a huge outdoors nut, he loves hiking in the summer and snowshoeing and cross country skiing in the winter. This is a really great list with lots of items that I believe he would love and find so useful. Since he wanders so much I am leaning towards the compass and chain as I think it would look great on him and he can use it all the time. I also really like the idea of adding an inscription to the back that would remind him of me! Thanks again, great ideas

    • Hi Sharon, thank you for the nice comment about the post; 10 Cool Gifts for Outdoorsmen. I am glad that you found the perfect gift for your brother, the compass does make a nice gift, I think he will really enjoy it. Since he is a hiker and snowshoer please check out 20 Winter Hiking Essentials for more gift ideas.

  • Hi! I’m shopping online. I have to make up my mind concerning the proper gift for a girl that loves outdoors. So your post has come in very handy. It has been difficult for me to make up my mind because all the options you present here are cool. I struggled to pick up just one. But I have finally decided. And I believe she will love the ARRIS Heated Vest! Seeing her happy will make me happy too! Thank you very much!

    • Great choice Henry she will love the heated vest! It's so useful and she will find reasons to wear it all the time!

  • The watch is really cool. The  vest is very nice too. There are three things I like there. The watch, the vest and the slippers. As for the vest, I like the black color, but is this the only color available coz I may want to buy two different colors for myself and my friend. How is the vest washed since it comes with battery.

    • Hi Kenechi so glad you liked the gift ideas.  The ARRIS Heated Vest is awesome and keeps you nice and cozy. It does not come in other colors but it does come in two different textures and cuts. One vest has a higher neck (with a heat panel) and is made of a soft fleece material. The other vest has is an open vee neck design made of smooth, windproof material. So you can't get in in different colors but it does come in two different styles. The vest is very easy to clean, just remove the battery, then hand wash or machine wash on a cool and gentle cycle. Enjoy!

       

  • This is really cool. I mean, these are simple and awesome gifts for anyone who loves to spend time in the outdoors.

    I am gonna give that Timex Ironman sports watch to my husband, he is a triathlete who enjoys training and he has spoken highly about this particular item in the past, so it will be perfect.

    I love the rechargeable hand warmer and think it will be awesome to use on cool evenings camping to really cold days while skiing.  it looks super versatile and I love that it is not disposable.

    Lastly, the picnic backpack is something we will both enjoy as we love to hike and have lunch in beautiful, quiet spots throughout the summer.

    Thanks for some great ideas!
