I know your delima. You think, \u201cWhat gift can I get for a rock climber?\u201d, \u201cWhat gift does a mountain biker need?\u201d, \u201cWhat gift can I buy a hiker?\u201d. Our adventures include equipment and preferences that vary widely. But, here are some gifts that should for almost every outdoor adventurer.<\/p>\n

LAST MINUTE GIFTS FOR OUTDOOR ADVENTURERS<\/strong><\/h7><\/p>\n

 
\nHOT HANDS – $<\/h7>
\nHot hands are perfect for ANY outdoor adventurer! From hiking to biking to rock climbing to hunting, you can\u2019t have too many Hot Hands! For rock climbers, hands are hard to keep warm. We do well with clothing, but our hands are still on cold rock! We put hot hands in our chalk bag and in our jacket pockets to keep our hards warm while climbing. You can never go wrong with Hot Hands for a winter gift! And, they are cheap! <\/p>\n

\nEPIC WIPES – $<\/h7>
\nBaby wipes are an essential product for outdoor adventurers. Trust me, we get dirty! Instead of using A LOT of wipes to clean, Epic Wipes offers the opportunity to use and manage one towel-size wipe!<\/p>\n

\nADVENTURE SOCKS – $<\/h7>
\nKeeping your feet dry and warm is the key to being happy on any adventure! Cotton socks keeps our feet sweaty and cold. But, adventure socks are made from materials like wool, and other products, are vented, and wick moister away from your feet. There are many adventure sock companies on the market. Smart Wool is one of the largest. Adventure socks brand Stoke Signal adds reflectors for visibility while riding bikes in the dark or low light conditions. <\/p>\n

\nARC’TEREX BIRD HEAD TOQUE BEANIE – $$<\/h7>
\nOn an adventure, a standard beanie from the mall doesn\u2019t work! They are too thick, too thin, or not vented properly. I recommend the Arc’terex Bird Head beanie. It has warm fleece insulation on your lower half to wicks sweat and moisture away from your head. But, it is not insulated on the top of the head to let excess heat escape.<\/p>\n

\nPACKPILLOW – $$<\/h7>
\nThis product can be used as a super lightweight seat, a pillow, and\/or to carry gear in. For me, using the PackPillow<\/a> as a pillow is great because I like a low-profile pillow. But, if you like a thicker pillow, the PackPillow unzips to add t-shirts and other soft clothes in. It is surprisingly comfortable! <\/p>\n

\nLANDER MOAB PHONE CASE – $$<\/h7>
\nProtection provided by phone cases vary from case to case. Lander, using ThermoLine technology, claims its “Moab” case keeps a phone’s temperature far more stable and its battery from being drained as fast in cold environments. If you spend time in the outdoors when it is cold, you will notice your battery drains extremely fast. My testing of the Moab has shown a slight boost in battery life.<\/p>\n

\nREI FLASH PACK – $<\/h7>
\nThis very affordable and light pack would work for any adventurer! It’s a small backpack without a frame and includes a pocket for storing a hydration bladder. <\/p>\n

\nOSPREY SIRRUS 24 (WOMEN) STRATOS 24 PACK (MEN) – $$$<\/h7>
\nSimilar to the REI Flash Pack, these packs are light and small. But, they offer more room than the flash pack. Perfect for day hikes, carrying water and snacks while biking. When climbing, a harness, shoes, and other gear fit perfectly. <\/p>\n

\nSALEWA HYBRID 2 JACKET – $$$<\/h7>
\nBeing dry and comfortable in the outdoors can be difficult. Puffy coats keep you warm, but sometimes too warm. Vests keep your body warm, but arms wet and cold. Salewa has introduced the Hybrid 2 Jacket<\/a> with Primaloft insulation on the torso and a stretchable and water-resistant fabric on the sleeves to keep arms dry and protected without excess insulation or weight.<\/p>\n

\nACCESS FUND AND LOCAL CLIMBING COALITION MEMBERSHIP – $$<\/h7>
\nAs rock climbers, we love access to great climbing crags. The Access Fund works as a team with local climbing coalitions to gain, or keep, access to local climbing areas. These organizations are vital for access to climb. You can purchase a gift membership to Access Fund for any climber. Plus, for only $15, you can add membership to his or her local climbing coalition.<\/p>\n
