The Patagonia Nano Puff Hoodie is my go-to insulated jacket for outdoor adventures. Lightweight yet impressively warm, this jacket boasts PrimaLoft Gold Insulation, ensuring you stay cozy while still packing down small enough to easily fit in your daypack. Not only is it efficient at trapping heat, but it’s also windproof and water-resistant, making it your best companion for unpredictable weather.
I’ve been recommending this jacket to all my fellow outdoor enthusiasts (you can see my other synthetic jacket favorites here), and if you’re on the hunt for a gift that screams both style and function, the Nano Puff is your answer.
Shop at:
The REI Co-op Sahara Shade Hoodie is one of the best outdoor sun shirts I’ve tried (you can see the full list of my favorite sun shirts here) that makes the perfect holiday gift for outdoor lovers. I wore it for a week straight in Maui without washing it and found that it didn’t stink, and the loose fit kept me surprisingly cool even in warm weather.
If you prefer hiking in short sleeves, the Sahara T-Shirt is a great choice as well.
Shop at:
The REI Co-op Flash Hybrid Tights make a great gift for the hikers, backpackers, and campers in your life. The stretchy material is comfy for outdoor wear, yet the fabric is more durable than your typical yoga leggings, plus these have stretch side pockets that fit an iPhone. The water and wind-resistant panels are perfect for inclement weather and they are warm without trapping too much heat.

The Vuori Halo 2.0 Performance Hoodie is the perfect layer whether you’re camping, road-tripping, lounging, or going for a stroll.

This sweatshirt is incredibly soft (really, one of the softest I’ve ever worn!) and comes in a bunch of colors, so be sure to snag one.
Shop at:
The REI Rainier Rain Jacket offers fantastic value at a budget price. It’s lightweight and does a great job blocking out wind and light rain. It has all the features I look for in a rain jacket, like pit zips, an adjustable hood, and pockets in all the right places, plus it also comes at a great price point. BFT’s Director, Linda, loves this jacket so much that she even snagged the men’s version as a Christmas present for her husband. Check out our full roundup of the best women’s rain jackets for more gift picks.

Base layers are essential for any outdoor lover from hikers and backpackers to skiers, snowboarders, and other outdoor enthusiasts.

I have worn Oboz hiking boots since 2017 and I truly believe Oboz makes the most supportive, comfortable, and durable hiking boots on the market. Plus, the people behind the brand are just as great as their shoes, and they plant a tree for every pair sold. The Oboz Sypes Mid Leather Waterproof Hiking Boots have quickly become my go-to hiking boot — you can read my full Oboz Sypes review here. They’re comfortable right out of the box, look great, and make an excellent gift for hikers. Looking for a different style of boot to gift? See our team favorites in the women’s hiking boot roundup.

The Cotopaxi Teca Fleece Jacket is one of the best gifts for outdoor lovers. It’s a Cotopaxi favorite of ours and I highly recommend it for anyone who spends a lot of time outside. Made from repurposed microfleece and durable water repellent polyester leftover from other companies’ production runs, it’s a great (and colorful!) eco-friendly gift.
Shop at:
Socks are a great gift for outdoor adventurers because good socks make such a difference on the trail. Without high-performing socks, you risk getting blisters or wearing through the soles after just a few uses. That’s why the entire Bearfoot Theory team loves (and swears by) the Darn Tough Micro Crew Cushion socks. They’re made from moisture-wicking materials and have some cushioning underfoot to guarantee comfort on the trail. Plus, all Darn Tough socks are guaranteed for life!
Shop at:
I ditched a purse for a fanny pack years ago and have never looked back, and the REI Co-op Trail 2 Print is one of the fanny packs on high rotation in my closet (you can see my other favorite fanny packs here). The vibrant print options add a bit of flair, while the 2 spacious compartments guarantee enough room for all your essentials.
From trekking mountain trails to navigating city streets, its durable build can withstand the elements and daily wear and tear. Plus, the adjustable straps ensure a comfortable fit, whether you’re wearing it around your waist or as a crossbody. If you’re searching for a gift that combines practicality with a touch of flair, this is the one to bag!
Shop at:
This REI Co-op Wallace Lake Flannel Shirt is the perfect gift for your outdoor-loving man. It comes in a variety of colors and patterns, is made from organic cotton, and has buttons down the front so it can be easily layered depending on outside temps. Wear it as a hiking outer layer on crisp fall days or to cozy up by the campfire at night.
Shop at:
Any seasoned adventurer will attest to the value of a trusty down hoodie, and the Outdoor Research Helium Down Hoodie truly sets the gold standard. The first time my partner Ryan wore this, he was astounded by how it felt feather-light, yet offered the kind of warmth that’s usually reserved for much bulkier jackets.
And if you’re caught in a surprise drizzle? No worries! Its fabric ensures top-notch water resistance. If you’re hunting for a gift that screams durability, performance, and sleek design, the Helium Down Hoodie should be your top pick.
Shop at:
Comfort meets functionality with the Vuori Sunday Performance Jogger Pants. Tailored for both the athletic sprint and the at-home lounge, these joggers boast a soft, moisture-wicking material that adapts to every move. Ryan’s been living in these pants since our son was born in February and they’re perfect for staying at home and taking our dogs out for walks around the neighborhood.
The tapered design strikes the perfect balance between relaxed and refined… these don’t look like your typical baggy sweatpants. For the man who values a blend of style and high performance, the Vuori Sunday Joggers are a stylish gift that’ll be worn time and time again.
Shop at:
I love REI’s women’s base layers, so it’s only natural that I think the men’s REI Co-op Merino 185 Base Layer Top is one of the best gifts for outdoor lovers as well. Base layers keep you warm until you warm up, then they wick sweat to keep you comfortable when you’re on the move. Check out the men’s REI Co-op Merino 185 Base Layer Bottoms for a matching set.

REI Co-op Merino Boxer Briefs make the perfect holiday gift for every man in your life. These anti-roll, naturally odor and moisture-wicking boxer briefs are perfect for hitting the trail, the ski slopes, or just watching TV at home. Snag a pair for a great stocking stuffer!

The Darn Tough Micro Crew Cushion Sock is our favorite women’s hiking sock out there, so I’m pretty sure your outdoorsy guy will like them as well. Made from moisture-wicking and temperature-controlling materials, they are cool, comfortable, and soft and Darn Tough’s lifetime guarantee makes them a gift for many years to come. Plus a good pair of socks is always a good idea and one of the best gifts for outdoor lovers in general.
Shop at:
For the outdoorsy man who values a blend of comfort and style, the KUHL Engineered Hoodie is an absolute must-have. This is another favorite of Ryan’s because the technical fabric regulates body temperature really well in both mild and cold temperatures. The ergonomic fit ensures freedom of movement, making it ideal for both intense workouts and laid-back weekends.
Shop at:
The Gregory Jade 28 has been my latest go-to day hiking backpack. It’s very comfortable, has a very supportive waistband, and has an adjustable torso you can customize the fit based on your torso length.
There are lots of pockets for organization and the side pockets are big enough for a Nalgene. I really like that access to the main compartment is through a zipper rather than a lid with clips. It makes it really quick and easy to get in and out of the pack – this is especially important for me because Ryan can quickly grab the camera out of my pack without having to deal with a bunch of clips.

Buffs have so many useful purposes on the trail from shielding your neck from a biting wind to protecting your face from the sun to using as a headband. That’s why the original Buff is a great gift for outdoor lovers and will surely be useful on their next hiking and backpacking trips. I wear mine on every hike.
Shop at:
A headlamp is one of the most valuable backpacking and camping tools, so I’m pretty picky about which ones I choose to take with me on the trail. I’ve found that the BioLite Headlamp 325 not only delivers on brightness, but it’s also super reliable, lightweight, comfortable, and can be recharged via USB so you can leave those disposable batteries at home. I especially like how easy the band is to adjust, so it’s no hassle to let your friend borrow it to go to the bathroom. If you’re looking for more options, read our roundup of the best headlamps.
Shop at:
This nifty little handheld device keeps you safe on backcountry expeditions by tracking your location, providing 2-way texting, and sending out SOS signals should things go wrong.

If you want some peace of mind, gift this to someone you care about this year.
Shop at:
Get your hiking or backpacking enthusiast a pair of trekking poles – it’s an absolute game-changer! Trekking poles help distribute the weight off your knees and ankles and help you have better posture while hiking. These REI Co-op Trailmade Trekking Poles are lightweight, telescope for easy transport, and they are adjustable so you don’t have to worry about fit. I bought my parents each a pair of these, and they’ve made a huge difference and even made them want to hike more. You can find other trekking pole gift ideas in our trekking pole gear guide.

Give the gift of ultralight backpacking gear this season with the Sea to Summit Ember Ultralight 25F Down Quilt.

Every camper knows the challenge of keeping sand and dirt out of your living space, and the CGear Multimats Original Sand-Free Mat addresses this issue brilliantly. I keep one of these mats outside the entryway to my van so we can slip off our shoes before tracking in too much dirt. Designed with a patented multi-layered weave system, this mat filters sand and dirt through its layers, ensuring a perpetually clean (well, as clean as the outdoors can be) surface, unlike your typical outdoor rug that just collects dirt on top. Plus this folds up much smaller.
