These Are the 15 Best Travel Watches of 2018

While any watch can accompany you on a journey, there are certain types of timepieces that are particularly suited to travel. GMT and other types of dual-time watches, analog or digital world timers and even simple date watches can be particularly helpful when trying to keep track of multiple time zones. While these types of watches can be incredibly affordable or wildly expensive, the good news is that there’s a great travel watch for everybody. So when you’re looking to buy someone the perfect watch for that next adventure, do yourself a favor by starting here:

Casio AE1200WH-1A

The AE1200WH-1A features a world timer with 31 time zones, city code display, daylight savings feature, LED screen with afterglow, 10-year battery and 100m of water resistance, all for $25. Pretty much the most watch you can possibly get for the cost of a salad and a soft drink in NYC, and perfect for the traveling adventurer.

Timex Navi Ocean

The Navi Ocean may have a fairly standard field watch look to it, but it’s the 12-hour bezel, which can be used to track a second time zone, that makes this a great, inexpensive travel companion. With its grey leather Nato strap, quartz movement and quickset date, this black-dialed watch can go just about anywhere with you.

Dan Henry 1963

It’s not all that difficult to guess who made the watch the 1963 is based upon (hint: it rhymes with Schmeitling), but the benefit of this modern quartz version is that it’s distinctly affordable, and the additional strap, canvas strap roll and bi-directional 12-hour bezel make it perfect for travel.

Citizen Men’s Eco-Drive Promaster Nighthawk

A highly technical dial with an integreated slide rule inner chapter ring operated by an extra crown, the Nighthawk clearly takes inspiration from the pilot’s watches of yesterday but improves the feature set with a quartz analog display, second time zone, Eco-Drive light-powered movement and 200m of water resistance.

Orient Polaris GMT

Orient consistently delivers incredible value for money, and the Polaris is no exception. You get an automatic movement powering an independatly-adjustable GMT hand, power reserve indicator and date function, all housed in an elegant, white-dialed 42mm case with blue steeled hands for $415.

Luminox RECON Nav SPC-8832.MI

A 46mm case may be large, but Luminox fit a ton of watch in here: you get a 24-hour bezel, a tachymeter scale in miles, an alarm function, a GMT function, 200m of water resistance, a countdown quadrant, and a black rubber strap with raised scale and compass. To want anything more for $500 would be a heavy ask.

Junghans Max Bill Mega

The Mega may look like any other Bauhaus-inspired watch in the Max Bill line, but this latest version, which is available in four dials, features a radio-controlled movement with perpetual calendar, accurate up the year 2400 without manual adjustment. Probably the perfect travel dress watch.

Mido Multifort GMT

The Mido Multifort is one of our favorite affordable, automatic GMTs. With a dual-crown design, inner rotating bezel in two colors and dial featuring a Geneva stripe motif, the Multifort GMT melds different influences to bring a fresh look to the dual-time zone complication.

Hamilton Jazzmaster GMT Auto

Hamilton consistently comes through with great value propositions, and the Jazzmaster GMT Auto is no exception. With a 24-hour hand and an inner, rotating city ring with 24-hour scale, this is the perfect complicated travel watch. Features include a 42mm steel case and automatic movement (a version on a bracelet is also available for an additional $50).

Farer Lander GMT

Probably one of the most beautiful GMTs of the last few years, the Lander combines a gorgeous sea-colored sunray dial with the workhorse ETA 2893-2 automatic GMT movement in a 39.5mm case for the perfect dual-time watch. Farer’s GMT is available in two other dial colors, but there’s something about the way the Lander catches the light that makes it special.

Monta Skyquest

If you’re looking for a technical, tool watch-GMT, look no further: the Skyquest is one of the best. Available in multiple bezel, dial and strap combinations, the Skyquest is water-resistant down to 304m and can actually give you the time in three different time zones thanks to the presence of a 24-hour rehaut on the dial.

Sinn 857 UTC VFR

Most modern pilot’s watches are really pilot-inspired watches, but the Sinn 857 is the real deal. Tested in accordance with a DIN standard for pilot’s timepieces, the 857 UTC features a 24-hour hand, countdown bezel and integrated de-humidfying technology for increased legibility. One of the toughest travel watches you can buy, hands-down.

Tudor Black Bay GMT

The Tudor Black Bay brought the functionality and look of its Rolex big brother to the masses at a much more stomachable price. With its COSC-certified, in-house GMT movement, beautiful dual-color bezel and 200m of water resistance, the BB GMT could potentially be the only travel watch you ever need.

Rolex GMT Master II 126710BLRO

The travel watch, or at least the latest iteration of it, in steel again — praise be to the Watch Gods! Featuring a new and improved movement, a Jubilee bracelet and Cerachrom bezel, this is the watch to wear in 2018, and the prototypical jetsetter’s timepiece. Good luck finding one available at MSRP, however.

The Best Gifts for the Urban Outdoorsman

Every outdoorsman dreams of living in a place like Jackson Hole or Chamonix, but the vast majority of us aren’t that lucky. It’s often the case that places with unparalleled access to mountains, forests and rivers have significantly less access to industrial and economic centers. That’s why the urban outdoorsman — also called a weekend warrior — has evolved. He may live in a human-made world of brick and concrete, but his heart longs for hills; give him a gift that he can use in both environments.

Cordura x Mystery Ranch In & Out Summit Pack

Stuffable daypacks allow for quick, easy jaunts — which is how the urban outdoorsman operates. The Cordura x Mystery Ranch In & Out Summit Pack is a 19-liter daypack designed to stuff into its own front mesh pocket. Made from 100D Cordura, it features upgraded contoured shoulder straps and a sternum strap not seen in most stuffable packs. Lightweight and highly packable, it’s a legitimate carry solution when space is at a premium.

Field Notes Expedition 3-Pack

Inspiration can strike anywhere, and Field Notes built its Expedition Notebook with 48 tear-and waterproof Yupo Synthetic paper pages so that it can be as suitable for jotting down thoughts during a multi-day camping trip as it is for use in the office.

Fisher Space Pen Cap-O-Matic

Fisher Space Pens can write underwater and in space. Maybe that seems unnecessary for the city-based outdoorsman you know, but it’ll also write just as well in a neighborhood cafe (and it works well with Field Notes’ waterproof paper).

Topo Designs Small Accessory Bag

Topo Designs’ pouch comes in a style that’s suitably retro-outdoor, and it has enough space for the things needed around town and in the woods; stuff like cash, a credit card, a small notebook and a tiny roll of duct tape (you never know).

Yeti Rambler 10oz Lowball

Yeti’s version of the lowball is unbreakable, which truly makes it a go-anywhere vessel that’s ready for whiskey by the campfire or coffee at the office.

Bialetti Moka Percolator

Bialetti created its now-iconic percolator in the ’50s, and since then it’s become a household staple in Italy and across Europe. Its rugged aluminum construction is handsome enough to leave out in the open on your counter and also makes it suitable for campsite use too.

Snow Peak Titanium Silverware Set

Nobody should be using plastic utensils anymore, but especially not self-proclaimed outdoorsmen. This set from Snow Peak is light enough to stash in any backpack — whether it’s for hiking or commuting around town — and isn’t overly outdoorsy.

L.L. Bean Cliffside Cordura Jeans

Denim is the original rugged fabric. It was beloved by miners and loggers when it first hit drygoods stores over a hundred years ago, and it hasn’t lost its outdoor application since. If anything, it’s only gotten better for use outside now that companies like L.L.Bean are giving it additional durability and stretch.

Mission Workshop The Spec Laptop Sleeve

Mission Workshop built this laptop sleeve with materials more commonly found in super-rugged backpacks. It’s fully-padded and has an exterior pocket for whatever other essentials need to be carried along with a computer.

Lander Cairn XL Lantern

Not all backcountry lanterns are suitable for use at home, but Lander’s Cairn is an exception. It’s waterproof, rechargeable and uses a convenient anchor system that gives it the versatility needed to function as a camp light, a bike light and more.

The James Brand Folsom Knife

The Folsom is the James Brand’s workhorse pocket knife; it features a 2.75-inch CTS-BD1 stainless steel blade that opens with one hand and a grippy G10 handle. It’s as capable of preparing a meal or making a repair in the backcountry as it is at opening boxes in the office.

Helinox Chair Zero

While some camp chairs aren’t comfortable enough to use anywhere but camp, the Chair Zero, which weighs less than two pounds and packs down to a size that’ll fit in your backpack, is perfect for backyard hangouts and waiting in line for tickets.

Biolite CampStove 2

Unlike other camp stoves, BioLite’s uses organic fuel and a big (smoke-free) flame to prepare meals. It’s also tech-integrated — campers can charge their phones or other devices with heat-generated power, straight from the stove.

Kammok Mountain Blanket

The best outdoor blankets are also indoor blankets. Kammok’s uses a ripstop nylon shell so that it can be sat on at the park as well as a fleece backer that’s perfect for curling up on the sofa.

Nike ACG Ruckle Ridge Boot

Following trends set by other outdoor companies, Nike’s crossover hiking boot is aimed more at the urban adventurer than the hardcore outdoorsman. It’s perfectly suitable for light hiking and will draw jealous stares from sneakerheads around town.

Rivendell Mountain Works Mariposa Summit Pack

City dwellers have to give style as much consideration as technical features when choosing a backpack. Rivendell’s core hiker following runs deep but its Mariposa isn’t too much function for everyday use. Plus, it’s sure to stand out from the crowd of commonly-found big brand bags.

Goal Zero Sherpa 100

When electrical outlets aren’t available — as at crowded cafes or remote campsites — a backup battery is essential. The Sherpa 100 packs enough power for phones, cameras and laptops, and it’s airplane-friendly.

The 15 Best Inexpensive Mechanical Watch Gifts of 2018

Mechanical watches (which include both the hand-winding and automatic variety) have seen a huge uptick in popularity in the last several years, and this considering that battery-powered quartz movements are more cheap and ubiquitous than ever, and smartwatches are seen on more and more wrists as time goes by.

While producing a mechanical wristwatch can be an expensive proposition, the proliferation of relatively inexpensive but high-quality Japanese movements has meant that smaller boutique brands finally have a way to craft affordable hand-winding and automatic timepieces, while the larger brands can make this technology affordable with large-scale production. Whether you’re looking to gift someone a diver or a dress watch, there’s an affordable mechanical watch out there for everybody.

Seiko 5 SNK805

The Seiko 5 has long been a staple in the Japanese brand’s line, offering inexpensive mechanical goodness to the masses. The SNK805 features a military-inspired dial with day/date function, an automatic movement and 30m of water resistance. With its 37mm stainless steel case and matching nylon strap, the Seiko 5 is the perfect mechanical watch for the field.

Swatch Sistem 51 Cream

Famous for being the world’s first mechanical watch made completely via automated assembly, the Sistem 51 offers an automatic movement with date visible through a transparent case back. While there are numerous dial and strap options available, this black variant with cream-colored strap and case are neutral enough to pair with most casualwear.

Timex Marlin Mesh

A more casual take on the Timex Marlin, this collab with Todd Snyder pairs a svelte 34mm mechanical watch with a versatile mesh steel bracelet. An attractive silver dial, thin handset, acrylic crystal and handwound movement give the Marlin vintage vibes, while a 34mm stainless steel case lends the watch to both male and female wearers.

Dan Henry 1970

Dan’s Henry’s 1970, available in both 40mm and 44mm sizes and two dial colors, is a tribute to the compressor-cased dive watches of the late 1960s/early 1970s. Featuring an automatic movement and inner rotating bezel as well as a vintage Tropic-style dive strap, the 1970 is a modern homage to a classic case style from the height of scuba diving’s popularity.

Orient Sun & Moon V.3

Finding an affordable complicated watch based upon a mechanical movement is significantly easier said than done, but the Sun & Moon V.3 from Orient manages to integrate a day, date and day/night indicator into a 42.5mm case along with the time. Available in several dial colors, it’s an entry into complicated watchmaking that won’t break the bank.

Seiko Presage Mechanical SARY055

While the Seiko 5 offers great value in a mechanical field watch, the brand’s Presage line does the same for dress watches. The SARY055 features an automatic day/date movement against a cream dial with stainless steel Oyster-style bracelet, while a set of blue-steeled hands completes the elegant look. Perfect for the office or after hours.

MVMT Arc Automatic

MVMT may have made a name for itself as a maker of fashion watches, but their most recent offering is a handsome 41mm mechanical timepiece available in several dial colors that utilizes an automatic date movement. A simple design that ships on a leather strap, the Arc is a lot of watch for $300, and the perfect entry into the world of mechanical timepieces.

Bulova American Clipper

Boluva’s elegant American Clipper is a simple design that’s perfectly suited to dress watch duty. With its black dial, day/date function, automatic movement and black leather strap, this is an affordable mechanical piece that’ll go well with any look.

Brew Watches Retrograph

The Retrograph actually uses a mecha-quartz movement, a sort of hybrid mechancal-quartz movement, which means that it’s not technically a mechanical watch. Looking at its sweep second hand, however, you wouldn’t necessarily be aware of this, and the vintage styling cues and espresso timer functionality mean that this is one cool throwback design.

Unimatic U2-B

This limited-edition timepiece from Italian watchmaker Unimatic packs an enormous amount of field watch punch into 38.5mm watch. Features include the automatic Seiko NH35A movement, oversized screw-down crown, Super LumiNova C1 lume, 2.7mm-thick ultra double-domed sapphire crystal and two straps, including a 2-piece grey nylon model and a black rubber version.

Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical

A reimagining of Hamilton’s military watches crafted for the U.S. Army, the Khaki Field Mechanical is a modern field watch built with clasic mil-spec design cues. A hand-winding movement from ETA and a 24-hour dial help to retain the vintage design influence, while a 38mm case brings the watch firmly into the 21st century.

Nodus Contrail 39 Black Sand

The Contrail 39 is a handsome everyday watch with 200m of water resistance, meaning you can wear it just about anywhere without having to baby it. Available in four different dial colors, the 39mm-cased Contrail features the Miyota 9015 automatic movement regulated to four positions for added accuracy as well as a steel H-link bracelet with micro-adjustment clasp.

Junghans Max Bill Hand-Winding

Max Bill was an iconic designer whose Bauhaus-influenced designs live on in the Junghans watches that bear his name. The hand-winding variant features a glossy dial with Arabic numerals, ETA 2801 hand-winding movement, 34mm stainless steel case and a black leather strap. Whether paired with eveningwear or jeans and a t-shirt, this is a watch that never looks out of place.

Autodromo Group B Version 2

Truly original designs in modern watchmaking seem few and far between, but Autodromo’s Group B certainly fits the bill. The Version 2 upgrades the original look with a funky integrated bracelet, which can be removed and replaced with a pull-through strap. One of the coolest automotive-inspired watches out there.

Zodiac Jetomatic

Available in several dial colors with different strap options (inclyding a steel bracelet), the Jetomatic is a beautiful homage to a vintage Zodiac pilot’s watch from the 1960s. An automatic movement with date, sword hands, gorgeous multi-colored dial and oversize winding crown make for a timepiece that looks great with casualwear.

The 17 Best Gifts for Skiers

Given the amount of gear needed for a full day of riding chairlifts in the cold and careening down a mountain, skiers are easy people to shop for. They beat the hell out of their gear, and chances are they’ll need something new going into winter. The list goes far deeper than skis too (although those are very important) — base layers, après footwear and snacks are all appropriate and appreciated.

Black Diamond Boundary Pro 107 Ski

Having a pair of versatile skis to handle a variety of conditions is how serious skiers optimize time on the hill. Black Diamond’s Boundary Pro 107 Skis are pro-approved big-mountain freeride skis with increased torsional stiffness for aggressive, powerful skiing. The Austrian-made skis are constructed with pre-preg fiberglass and a poplar wood core for big lines and high speeds in just about any sort of snow.

Blackstrap Hood Balaclava

In cold weather, a balaclava is essential. But it can also be cumbersome beneath a helmet and goggles. Blackstrap makes its Hood as low-profile as possible with a fabric blend that protects from the sun (and unwanted odors). But the best part is the articulating design that lets you pull it down off your face without scrunching up everything else.

UnTapped Organic Maple Waffles

No skier will ever opt for a frozen energy bar when UnTapped’s delicious maple-infused stroopwafel is available as an alternative. It’s made with organic flour, pure Vermont maple syrup and sugar, and sustainably-produced palm fruit oil.

Dissent Ski GFX Compression Hybrid Protect Sock

Skiers need to take their feet seriously; not just any sock will do — certainly not a cotton crew that comes in a pack of 12. Dissent knew this and designed its ski sock with targeted compression for optimal blood flow in mind (read: it’ll keep your toes warm).

Teva Ember Moc

There’s nothing like sliding out of cramped ski boots and into toasty slippers at the end of the day. Teva’s Ember Mocs have a grippy rubber sole that can handle all the snow and slush the resort can throw at them, so you don’t have to wait to get home for that moment.

Patagonia Capilene Air Bottoms

Patagonia’s Capilene Air Base Layers are constructed with a seam-free 3D knit that blends polyester and merino wool in a sweater-like pattern that’s optimized for warmth and breathability in a wide range of temperatures. Long johns have never been comfier.

Oyuki The Pep Trigger Mitts

Oyuki designs its gloves to handle the never-ending blizzards of Hokkaido, and it worked with pro skier Pep Fujas to make something that’ll function around the world. Chances are, it’ll work anywhere the skier in your life plans to go.

The North Face Snowmad 34 Pack

Backcountry skiers have a unique set of tools that they need to haul up and down remote peaks. They need backpacks designed especially for carrying a shovel and probe as well as additional layers, snacks and of course, skis.

POC Obex SPIN Helmet

POC’s latest safety tech is called SPIN, and it consists of a series of gel-like pads that comfortably line the inside of a helmet and help negate the effects of multi-directional impacts. It’s best applied in the Obex — the little skull protectors are barely noticeable.

Db Equipment Douchebag Snow Roller Ski Bag

Despite its name, this ski bag is no joke. It can fit two pairs of skis along with lots of other gear and uses a unique strap system that converts its volume to fit ski lengths as long as 205 centimeters. Best of all, it rolls up into a compact bundle that’ll fit comfortably in a closet or under a bed when ski season ends.

Smith I/O Mag Goggles

Smith was first on the scene with its interchangeable lens goggles, so it was a bit of a surprise that it took so long for the company to get into magnets. But it’s a good thing that Smith took its time, because the I/O Mag is exceptional, and can be relied upon by skiers who want to be prepared for any light condition.

Kuat Grip Ski Rack

Keep slush out of your car. Kuat, a company well known for its bike racks, just made an easier way to throw skis on top of any rig with an easy-to-install ski rack that includes a slide-out tray.

Picture Zephir Jacket

Picture gets that skiers need powder skirts, taped seams, wrist guards and blizzard-worthy waterproof fabrics. But it also knows that they want lots of pockets, a slightly loose fit and a nifty curved zipper that gives your chin a little extra breathing room.

Backcountry x Flylow Mill D Bib Pant

Backcountry took 22 years of customer service intel only a gear retailer can have and used it to team up with Flylow and create an awesome pair of bibs. They’re super light, waterproof, breathable and include never-before-created features, like a strap for securing climbing skins beneath your jacket.

Mammut Barryvox S Beacon

An avalanche beacon is a required article for backcountry exploration. Mammut’s latest is for the most serious of that group and comes with the most technologically advanced feature set available in a beacon (it includes a 70-meter range and a smart search mode). But it’s fit for beginners who are just starting to wander beyond resort boundaries too.

Salomon S/LAB Shift MNC Binding

Salomon figured out how to make a touring binding that goes downhill as well as it goes up; it’s essentially two bindings in one, and perfect for the skier who only wants to own one pair of skis.

Dynafit Hoji Pro Tour Ski Boot

Developed with professional skier Eric “Hoji” Hjorleifson over four years, Dynafit’s latest boot is a lightweight touring boot that achieves the performance capabilities of a downhill boot. Its highly-engineered lock system uses a single lever that transitions the boot from walk mode to downhill mode, and the goal achieved is simplicity; no more messing around with buckles and switches, just one, easy-to-access lever.

Over 15 goal-based exercise modes also give real-time stats for reaching targets. With a touchscreen and water-resistance to 50m, the Fitbit Charge 3 is a perfect fitness gift.

Manduka GRP Yoga Mat

Everyone can use a bit more stretching in their lives. A yoga mat at home is one basic tool you can use to help do yoga, stretch and even foam roll. Increase your flexibility and mobility with a daily (or even weekly) practice. This all-natural rubber mat comes in a standard or extra long size, so if your favorite part of yoga is to lie down, you don’t have to worry about your feet or head hanging off the mat. For guys who do hot yoga, this mat is essential. Don’t bother grabbing a grippy towel, this mat will keep your hands in place, even during down dog.

The New Power Eating

Nutrition is a key piece in the fitness puzzle, and when you workout regularly, it’s likely that you’re pretty hungry. There’s a lot of information about what to eat and when to eat it, but that can be a lot to try and get through yourself. Dr. Sue Kleiner, a PhD and registered dietician, has worked with professional athletes, teams and Olympians for years, helping them to eat and drink for peak performance. Bring her knowledge into your kitchen with The New Power Eating. If your workout routine calls for a rest day or a sprint day, you can eat to power through each session.

Jabra Elite Active Earbuds

Whether you listen to Spotify, podcasts or even your workout through headphones, you need a pair that moves with you. The Jabra Elite Active Earbuds stay put through high intensity workouts thanks to multiple different types of ear attachments. Once the battery reads low, pop the earbuds into the charging case for 15-minutes to get a one and a half hour charge. The case itself will power the earbuds for up to 15 total hours of playback. Alexa, Siri and Google assistant also respond to your prompts, so if you get lost on a long run, just make sure to ask the right one for directions.

ProSource Multi-Grip Chin-Up/Pull-Up Bar

This easy-to-install pull-up bar is a great addition to any home gym. Pop it in any doorway and get moving on your pull-up or chin-up challenge. If New Year’s resolutions are looming, this steel bar can help you work everything from your shoulders to biceps, core and back. It’s built to hold up to 300 pounds, and will be your new visual reminder to workout.

Science in Sport Energy Bundle

During exercise longer than 2.5 hours, it’s imperative that you fuel your body. After a certain point, your body depletes its stores of carbohydrates, and you need to top it off, so you can continue pushing yourself. SiS Go Isotonic energy gels provide 22 grams of carbs per gel and they don’t need to be washed down with water. The energy bundle lets you pick from ten flavors with and without caffeine. Go harder for longer with a quick hit of carbs and see what limits your body can push past.

Technogym MyRun

Looking to seriously upgrade your home gym? Technogym creates high-quality and incredibly sleek workout machines, including a treadmill. The MyRun combines the power of a moving cushioned belt with intelligent technology that knows when you step on the treadmill, how fast your step frequency is and how long your stride is. MyRun digests all that data to give you actionable tips like increasing your cadence to keep you healthy and running for longer.

Compex Wireless 2.0 Muscle Stimulator

Muscle stimulation has been shown to help your muscles warm up and recover faster. Typically, it’s found at physical therapy and rehab locations, as well as in the trainer’s quiver for pro athletes. The Compex TENS machine is quite the splurge, but will seriously help you recover. The muscle stimulator not only helps reduce the risk of injury and promotes faster recovery, it can also help improve your speed and power, as well as endurance. Simply place the pads where you want them on your body, pick the program that works for you, and go.

Hyperwear Hyper Vest Pro

A weighted vest ups the ante on your workout. Vests are sometimes used by the military to help prepare for the amount of weight they’ll use out in the field. This one is civilian-friendly. It comes standard with 10 pounds of steel weights that you can add or subtract, depending on how you feel. The side lacing adjusts to all body types and works for running, walking, hiking and more.

No Bull Dark Denim Trainers

No Bull pairs a simple design with a high-quality and durable sneaker. A seamless upper, made from just one piece of SuperFabric, is abrasion resistant to glass, knives and even barbed wire, yet is still breathable. The outsole grips in all conditions, and the high carbon lateral and medial guards support your feet during side to side lunges and pivoting movements.

BalanceFrom GoFit All-Purpose Weights

Pick up this rubber-wrapped kettlebell in weights ranging from five- to 100-pounds. The solid cast base and color-coated vinyl protect your floor and feet. A wide handle means deadlifts and catches have a wider room for error than some smaller kettlebells. And the non-slip grip comes standard. Kettlebells increase the intensity on a variety of arm, leg, chest and back movements, so you can fit in a tougher workout in less time.

Onnit Ballistic Medicine Balls

Medicine balls can be found in weight rooms across the country. Slams, throws, V-ups, twists and overhead presses are just a few of the ways you can use one. It helps challenge your core and increase power through explosive movements. The Onnit Ballistic Medicine Balls have a high-tack surface (that’s ballistic grade) so grip is solid and the ball stays spherical for many years. Pick from a 10, 15 or 20-pound ball.

Rogue SR-1 Speed Rope

Sign up for a jump rope class at Equinox or other boutique gyms and you’ll quickly be reminded just how exhausting jump roping is. It challenges your cardiovascular system as well as increases endurance. Other gyms, like CrossFit, use jump ropes before and during class to keep your blood flowing between high pressure weight exercises. The Rogue SR-1 is an adjustable speed cable in eight colors that doesn’t weigh much, but packs a serious fitness punch.

The Best Gifts for SCUBA Divers

If you know someone who just can’t wait to get in the water at all times, and plans his vacations around the closest ocean and next dive spot, then you know that they can be tricky to shop for. Most divers keep a mask, fin and snorkel on them when planning bigger trips, but if you’re a beginner or have never invested in your own equipment, the holidays are a great time to stock up. Start with a reliable watch, add a warm and flexible wetsuit and then work your way down the list. These 13 gifts are sure to help get them to the oceans faster.

Zodiac Super Sea Wolf Automatic Two-Tone Watch

SCUBA divers know the importance of a dependable dive watch. While plenty offer passable capabilities, the Zodiac Super Sea Wolf Automatic Two-Tone brings both high-end performance and a superior luxurious look. The 44mm stainless steel case offers a unidirectional mineral crystal bezel and is paired with a distinct five-link, two-tone bracelet. While it’s water resistant to 200 meters, this proficient diver is a fashion timepiece that can elevate any look on land.

Cressi Lens Mask

The inclined inverted teardrop lens mask features a high seal silicone that does exactly what you want a mask to do: keep water out and air in. These work best for SCUBA diving, snorkeling or freediving. The special shape of the mask allows for more field of view as you look down into the big blue sea.

Cressi Diving Fins

Every aspiring diver needs a pair of fins. Pick up a pair of black, blue or yellow fins made of a non-slip material. The longer blade helps you move faster with less effort and the full foot pocket-style keeps your feet locked in during dives.

Qamea Luxury Dive Resort

Fiji can seem like a faraway spot, but it’s the perfect place for a SCUBA diving adventure. A dive trip to Qamea offers 15 different dive sites so you can enjoy a dive trip, finish up your PADI certification and more. Prices depend on how many tanks you want, so plan around that.

Suunto EON Core

An analog gauge with a clean color display and up to 20-hours of dive time makes this an easy-to-use dive computer. With just three buttons and five dive modes, the Suunto EON core is a fresh upgrade.

Yeti Camino Carryall

You can spray this bag down after a long day at sea, so dump all your wet gear inside to transport home, then hang out to dry while you rinse the Yeti carryall with water. It’s large enough to hold a wetsuit, mask, fins and a dive computer, so you can keep everything in one place, then grab it right before you head out.

XCEL ThermoFlex TDC SCUBA Wetsuit 3mm

Depending on water temps, you might want a little added protection. Even if the water is warm at a surface level, that doesn’t mean it’s going to be warm down below. The 3-millimeter suit is a pretty bare minimum amount of neoprene to keep you warm in water that’s 68 degrees and up, so not very cold. A full back zipper makes it slightly easier to get on and off.

Wetsox

Wetsox are designed in the USA to make your life easier when trying to wiggle into a wetsuit. Slip on these calf-height socks then “slide” into your gear. The Wetsox diminish the amount of friction between your legs and the suit so it’s not as sticky getting it up over your waist. Just as it helps to get the suit on, it works just as well to quickly get the wetsuit off your body.

Tovatec Fusion 1000 Light

Even at depths of 100 meters, you can flash this light for up to three and a half hours. Recharge it after the dive so you can see everything you want deep down in the ocean. Whether you’re trying to nail the perfect shot, or see something amazing, this flashlight will do the trick.

Chaco Z/1 Classic

Chaco sandals are a solid purchase to keep your feet protected while you’re heading to a dive site and back. The pull-through adjustable webbing makes fitting slightly different sized feet no big deal, and the ladder lock buckle stays put even if you get thrown through some waves.

Sipwell Stainless Steel Drinking Straws

An easy way to save the earth’s oceans and make everyone happy is to invest in a reusable straw. Starbucks, American Airlines, Hyatt and more have already pledged to phase out plastic straws, so now is a good time to hop on board. SipWell stainless steel straws come in a set of four and include a free cleaning brush, which is very useful in case you try a smoothie one morning and iced green tea the next.

Reefsafe Mask Defogger

If the old spit and rub tactic isn’t appealing to your SCUBA diver, try this mask defogger and cleaner. It’s biodegradable and non-toxic to the animals and plants under the ocean surface, so you don’t have to worry about adding to any pollution or harming anything. As an added side benefit, it also works on swim and ski goggles, so you can truly use for all eye-adventures.

A Donation to Oceana

If your SCUBA diving friend is already set with everything he or she could possibly need, a donation to the oceans is a welcome gift. Oceana protects the world’s oceans and has already helped with over 1.2 million square miles of ocean. Oceana pledges to restore the sea life to its original state, making the oceans as healthy as possible.

Mizu 360 M9 Everyday Kit

The stainless steel design on this Mizu water bottle is BPA free and 100 percent recyclable, so you can feel good while drinking.

Art of Sport Essentials Kit With Deodorant

Runner’s High Chill AF Plus+ Muscle Rub

This all-natural muscle rub acts like IcyHot but features hemp extract, sunflower oil, menthol crystals, essential oils of wintergreen and beeswax. After a tough gym session, rubbing this onto sore arms, legs and back muscles is a good idea. The pinon, arnica flowers and peppermint essential oil are said to be anti-inflammatory, which athletes can always use.

Headspace Membership

You’re guaranteed to breathe a little deeper.

Roka Transition Pack

Roka knows how to make top-of-the-line wetsuits, sunglasses and goggles that allow triathletes to focus on peak performance instead of the details. The new Transition pack is engineered to help you focus on your commute rather than what bag you’re packing to get to the gym the next day. It’s a 38-liter pack that’s water-resistant and features loads of pockets. There’s even an external helmet carry and spot for your bike pump, so there’s no excuse for not getting to the gym.

Hari Mari Dunes Flip Flops

A good pair of shower shoes will keep bacteria from creeping up off the tile floor and onto your feet. These water-friendly nylon sandals are plush to the touch thanks to a memory foam toe post and a foam insole with a firm arch. If light blue isn’t your color, try a navy, black or brown.

Vega Sport Protein Powder

Finding the perfect protein for post-workout nutrition needs can be a minefield to navigate. Sometimes ingredient labels can be tricky to read. Vega makes it simple with its chocolate plant-based vegan protein powders. Thanks to pea-protein, organic pumpkin seed protein, organic sunflower seed and alfalfa, you get 30 grams of protein per scoop. It’s easy to throw this into your smoothie, muffins or shake. And don’t worry, if you prefer vanilla, there’s a flavor for you, too.

Jaybird X4

A good pair of gym headphones can be hard to find. These Jaybird X4 in-ear headphones are sweat-proof and waterproof in case you get caught in a downpour while out on your run, plus the sound quality has improved from the previous models. Hopping on the treadmill or indoor cycling bike with these mean you never have to worry about a stray hand getting caught in the wires, causing you to pause the tread or bike to get re-situated.

Lululemon City Trek Crew Socks

If you’re looking for a sharp pair of socks that can go with you on urban commutes and keep your ankles looking good during squats and lunges, these soft and stretchy socks are ideal. The foot-specific design and seamless construction mean no chafing and some much-needed arch support for however many miles it takes for you to get into work and to the gym.

TRX Original Strong System

Some days, it’s too tricky to get to the gym. So why not bring the machines to your home? With the TRX, you can make any space a gym. Secure the straps to a tree, door frame or playground set and get to work. It packs down to the size of over-ear headphones, meaning you can throw them in your carry-on bag and never miss a day.

RYU Core Crew

This sweatshirt goes from the gym to the brewery thanks to its minimalist look. Throw it on over gym shorts or jeans, and you look put together.

The aluminum body is easy to use with gloves, so no matter how cold it gets or how frozen the wood is, you’re able to stay warm and eat a tasty meal.

Loksak Aloksak Drybag

Never worry about humidity, sand, snow or water affecting your gear again.

BioLite SunLight

BioLite’s SunLight charges in seven hours while outdoors, or just two via a micro USB, and then you can enjoy up to 50 hours of light inside your tent, next to the fire or anywhere else you could use a bit of light. The hanging clip is ideal for use in a tent, and the built-in kickstand works great on picnic tables or the ground.

Gear Aid Tenacious Tape Mini Patches

You’ve used the same puffy down coat for years when all of a sudden you catch it on a crag and it rips. If you can’t part with it, but it needs a second life, Gear Aid tape will hold it together. Tack these on tents, rain jackets and snow gear to extend the life of some of your favorite items. It sticks to everything: nylon, polyester, vinyl, even Gore-Tex. To make each patch last longer, cut to the exact size you need and save the rest.

Soto Pocket Torch

This pocket torch weighs just 2.4-ounces so it won’t add much to your pack and total weight of the trip, but it will give you the power to light camp stoves quickly, fires and more. While a lighter is functional, this pencil torch is an easy stocking stuffer that every guy is sure to find integral to his new outdoor EDC.

Kinco 901 Pigskin Ski Gloves

Whether you’re skiing, snowboarding, chopping wood or hiking, these waterproof leather gloves are sure to become your new staple. The durable pigskin leather will outlast your typical cowhide and fabric gloves and will keep the feeling in your fingers all day long thanks to a thermal lining.

Beyond Coastal Active Sunscreen

Sunscreen should be an essential part of your everyday skin routine, especially if you’re outside. Beyond Coastal’s SPF 34 sunscreen protects your skin for up to 80 minutes during activity. Whether you’re hopping in the ocean for a late-season surf or heading out on a trail run, this non-greasy lotion quickly dries so you can smear and go.

AeroPress Coffee and Espresso Maker

If you need a good cup of coffee to get you going every morning, an Aeropress is the right way to make one. From start to finish, the process takes just 60 seconds, so that you can go from grinds to brew quickly. Each brew makes about one to three cups of coffee, depending on how big your mug is. The microfilter keeps grit out of the final product and once you’re done, every piece stores in a nylon bag so you can toss it in your pack.

Good Candle x Gear Patrol Campfire Candle

For the days when it’s just not possible to get outside, strike a match and let the scent of a campfire fill your home. Each candle is hand-poured into a brown glass container that’ll burn for up to 25 hours. Close your eyes, breathe deep and imagine you’re sitting in front of a campfire — there’s no better way to relax.

And they sound terrific. If AirPods don’t fit in your ears, these definitely will; they come with silicone ear tips and ear wings in a variety of sizes.

2018 MacBook Air

This is the first MacBook Air — Apple’s most popular beloved laptop — with a Retina display and Touch ID. It’s beautiful, slim and has two Thunderbolt USB-C ports. It essentially feels like a slightly less powerful MacBook Pro, but it’s thinner, lighter and more affordable. For most people, this is the new laptop to buy right now.

Anker PowerPort Atom PD 1

This is 27-watt USB-C wall charger that’s roughly the same size as the 5-watt puck that comes with your iPhone, but it can charge your MacBook Pro or new MacBook Air.

Schiit Audio Jotunheim

For anybody searching for the ultimate desktop audio setup, they should seriously consider the Jotunheim. It’s a really nice headphone amplifier, but you can also customize it to add an internal DAC or phono preamp. And even though $399 seems expensive, all Schiit Audio’s stuff is shipped direct to consumer, so it’s actually worth a lot more than that.

BenQ SW271 Monitor

For photographers, graphic designers and other creatives, this is one of our favorite 4K external monitors. It’s a 27-inch IPS monitor that supports HDR and really wide color gamuts. And there are wide-range of ports built right into the back, including USB-C, USB 3.0, HDMI, DisplayPort and an SD card reader. It also comes with a light hood.

Nikon Z7 Mirrorless Camera

Nikon’s first full-frame mirrorless camera manages to match Sony’s renowned mirrorless models, but Nikon is giving photographers upgrading to pro-am gear a little bit extra to consider: including fast 493-point autofocus capabilities that cover over 90 percent of the frame, 4K video, 9fps shooting and a top-mounted display that gives photographers better access to exposure and battery life. Then there’s Nikon’s new Z Mount System — it’s the first time Nikon has used an interchangeable lens mount other than the F Mount. The good news is Nikon will offer a first-party adapter so all F-Mount DSLR lenses will have full functionality on the new Z system.

LG B8 4K Ultra HD Smart OLED TV

Sony WH-1000M3 Noise-Canceling Headphones

The Sony WH-1000XM3s are the best overall noise-canceling headphones. It’s as simple as that. If noise-canceling ability and sound quality are the two priorities in headphones, than these are our hands-down favorite. The kicker is that they charge via USB-C, which not a lot of wireless headphones do yet, meaning you can use charge them with the same cable you use with your MacBook Pro or new MacBook Air.

Google Wifi

A mesh router system is a simple solution for all those “dead zones” in your house. Plus, this one by Google comes with a bunch of modern perks. Through its app you can easily monitor which devices are using your home’s wi-fi. You can quickly share wi-fi passwords. You can set specific times when devices can use wi-fi. (For instance, you can disable wi-fi after 10pm so your kids can’t play Fortnite anymore.) And you can make sure your kids aren’t watching porn or accessing violent websites. It’s like a security system for your digital home.

Twelve South AirFly

How many times have you wanted to use your AirPods to listen to in-flight movies, only to realize that those small TVs support Bluetooth? This little reciever solves that. No more purchasing those $2 wired earbuds from the flight attendent.

Best Gifts for Hikers

Hiking is a simple activity. Really, it’s just walking, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t call for a vast array of apparel, equipment and accessories you might not use in other aspects of life. This is especially true when trekking farther through the woods and higher up mountains becomes the goal. It’s arduous and requires a particular mindset. Luckily though, this makes hikers especially easy to shop for — they’re always in need of something, be it a new backpack or an additional pair of socks.

Powderhouse Titanium Omni-Heat 3D OutDry Boot

Winter hikers need a boot that can withstand the elements. Columbia’s Powderhouse Titanium Omni-Heat 3D OutDry Boot does that better than most with advanced thermal-reflective lining and a high-grip Michelin outsole. It’s also constructed with OutDry waterproof leather to keep feet warm and dry. The hiker on your list can stay on the trail all winter long with the Powderhouse Titanium Boot.

Alltrails Lifetime Membership

Hiking hasn’t lost pace with technology, and while you should always carry a paper map as a backup, smartphones have become helpful tools that aid in exploration. Alltrails crowdsources trail maps, reviews and photos from its community of nine million so that you can find trails wherever you go (and download and print maps for use in areas with no service).

Naglev Unico Hiker

Born in the Alps, the Unico brings the heritage of hiking together with contemporary materials in one high-performing trail shoe. It has an upper made of a single piece of durable Kevlar fabric and contains a sock-like wool liner for a conforming fit. It’s as tough as hiking footwear comes.

Parks Project National Parks Candle

The experience of being in the woods and hills shouldn’t have to end when you get back to the parking lot. Parks Projects’ collection of National Parks-themed candles bring the scents of cedar forests and Rocky Mountain lavender into the home, so the hiker in your life can at least pretend to be out in the trail, even when napping on the couch.

America the Beautiful National Parks Pass

In the outdoors, there’s no better gift than that of access, and while we’re all collectively the owners of our nation’s National Parks, they do cost money to get into. An annual pass provides entry to all federal lands for its holder and might be just the thing to inspire next year’s big trip.

Osprey Stratos 24 Daypack

The Stratos leaves nothing to want — outfitted with all the pockets, compression straps and access points you’d expect, but surpasses all other hiking packs with its floating mesh back panel that’s both comfy and incredibly breathable. It’s our favorite daypack for hiking, and we think everyone will agree.

Patagonia Houdini Jacket

Hiking is an inherently peaceful activity, but it’s also strenuous, and doing it in a jacket can be a sweaty affair. That’s why Patagonia made the Houdini as breathable and lightweight as possible. At 3.6 ounces, it’s barely noticeable, except when it’s protecting you from wind and drizzle.

Good To-Go Mexican Quinoa Bowl

Just because you’re in the woods doesn’t mean you have to eat like a barbarian. Avoid the rehydrated slop and reach for something made with ingredients like raw organic cacao powder and ancho chiles.

Darn Tough ATC Socks

Proper hiking socks are as essential as boots, but they can also be expensive. Thankfully, Darn Tough backs up its peds with a lifetime guarantee, so no matter how many miles are put on them you know that they’ll be good for just as many more.

Kammok Firebelly Trail Quilt

Unfamiliar with trail quilts? The best, like Kammok’s Firebelly, are lighter, more versatile alternatives to sleeping bags. Wrap up in one inside a tent or hammock or just use it to keep warm while watching Netflix at home.

Hilleberg Nammatj 2 GT

Hilleberg’s bomb-proof tents have accompanied expeditions across the globe and are standard-issue at the National Outdoor Leadership School. The all-season Nammatj 2 GT sleeps two, has a vestibule for gear storage and is very easy to pitch with a handy one-piece design, all of which make it suitable for the weathered pro and the casual weekend warrior alike.

BlackYak Modicana Jacket

Blackyak categorizes the Modicana as a “midshell” — it’s neither an outer- or mid-layer, but both at the same time. The jacket is soft to the touch, breathable and stretchy, but it’s also waterproof and warm with a merino wool lining. It’s about as technical as a shell can get, and versatile enough for activities beyond the hiking trail too.

Black Diamond Stormline Stretch Rain Pants

Hardcore hikers know that it’s a rain-or-shine activity, but the former calls for some additional thought to apparel. Black Diamond has made its Stormline pants as comfortable as possible; they’re waterproof (as required), but they’re also stretchy, allowing for enough freedom of movement to make walking in the rain a pleasant experience.

Oakley Frogskins Lite

In the eighties, Oakley created the Frogskins, its first lifestyle sunglasses, and asserted that its eyewear wouldn’t just be about sport. But the shades, which have endured through the decades, contain all of Oakley’s up-to-date performance optics to supply more clarity and contrast in shifting light conditions.

Western Rise Icon Camp Hat

Any ballcap will help provide that bit of much-needed shade from the sun during a full day outside, but the Icon Camp Hat goes a step further. It’s constructed with a durable cotton ripstop fabric in a five-panel profile that functions on the trail but looks good in town too.

Picky Bars

Hikers who still buy the same old energy bars that have been on shelves for decades are missing out on the current golden age of trail food. Picky Bars, which were dreamed up by a group of athletes and come in flavors like “Chai and Catch Me” and “Cookie Doughpness,” are crafted with real food ingredients to provide clean energy before and during long jaunts.

The James Brand Ellis Tool

The Ellis is The James Brand’s reinterpretation of a Swiss Army-style tool; it comes with two locking implements in one sleek package that’s worth its weight (only 2.8 ounces) on and off the trail. Use its tool to open bottles at the summit and turn screws on your gear and its partially-serrated blade to make repairs and cut rope (or sharpen sticks for marshmallow roasting).

Accidents happen. It’s best to be prepared, and wilderness wanderers don’t need an entire backpack’s worth of supplies to do so. Adventure Medical Kits makes carefully-considered medkits for all types of outings — from a day hike to a 28-day expedition.

GSI Outdoors Essential Travel Spoon

Forks don’t exist in the backcountry. Seriously, you can eat anything with a spoon, and tiny-tined sporks never really work anyways.

Petzl Tikka

Sunsets and sunrises are best viewed from mountaintops, with a companion and a warm beverage. Hiking in the dark is no excuse to miss one with a headlamp as affordable and powerful as Petzl’s classic Tikka. It boasts 200 lumens of light that can be utilized in separate modes for proximity, movement and distance vision.

Reebok CrossFit Nano 8 Flexweave

The Nano is one of the most recognizable sneakers in CrossFit gyms. It’s also one of our best gym shoes of the year. The Flexweave upper is strong yet flexible so you can do all the power-lifting and rope climbing you want without losing grip or catching a toe.

Trusox Sock

Soccer fans might recognize this nylon-cotton-spandex blended sock. It’s built to help prevent blisters in both old and new shoes, as well as providing your toes with a more sturdy grip inside the toebox.

SKLZ Pro Band

These bands have the power to make every move harder. Place above your knees to work laterally and feel the burn in your glutes. You can also work with a partner to wrap around your waist and have them hold the opposite end of the band as you sprint forward. Nothing like a little power play to keep your competitive spirit up.

SKLZ Quick Ladder

It’s time to think about dexterity and speed. A ladder helps every athlete progress their explosive power and acceleration. Run through with quick feet, double step in and out or play a little old school hopscotch with it.

UE Megaboom

Outdoor workouts need a soundtrack. Blast the Ultimate Ears Megaboom, or carry it with you on group runs and you’re sure to attract a crowd. The battery lasts for up to 20 hours, and it’s a breeze to connect more than one.

Aer Fit Pack 2

This Aer pack is one of our staff’s favorite work bags that doubles as a gym bag. The slim zipper down the middle streamlines all your clothing and gear. Slip your sneakers in the ventilated shoe compartment and grab your laptop out of the padded pocket and you’re ready for work.

Acme Sledgeworks Triad Bundle

Based in California, Acme Sledgeworks creates one of a kind weight lifting pieces that should earn a place on your wall as well as in your workout. This bundle includes the 5, 10 and 20-pound cast iron triads. You can use them while on an indoor cycling bike, when walking or even while doing plank push-ups. The world is your oyster.

Strava Premium

If you’re a runner or cyclist, Strava is the legit way to document your miles. Whether you’re competing against a team or signing up for another virtual 5K race, Strava provides you with all the tools you need to explore more, train better and share your data easily. The premium version also includes real-time location so you can go off on a trail run and ping your important contacts while you’re safely being tracked.

Hyperice Hypervolt

A cordless, relatively quiet and powerful handheld massager is the perfect gift for an athlete. It’s an easy tool to use on legs, arms and back for up to three hours on one charge. Everyday use can help improve your warmup and recovery, in addition to your range of motion.

Naked Vanilla Whey Protein

Nailing the WOD a couple times a week or more and you’re going to need some help recovering. Your body needs protein to re-build muscle fibers that are torn during workouts. Less Naked Vanilla Whey protein has only three ingredients and 25-grams of protein.

Sufferfest FKT Beer

After an intense workout, you’re going to want a drink. Sufferfest is the beer made by athletes, for athletes. It’s gluten-removed with black currant and salt added into the brew, so you’re getting some much-needed electrolytes after a sweat. While we can’t attest to any gains you’ll see after this, we can totally agree that a good can of beer is much needed after a Tough Mudder, Ragnar Relay and many other activities.

Manduka EKO Yoga Mat

Whether you’re into hot yoga or you just sweat a lot, slipping on a yoga mat can ruin anyone’s practice. Having your own mat is a good way to prevent that. This one made from biodegradable tree rubber is long and weighs eight pounds, making it one of the more durable mats today.

Zolo Liberty+ Headphones

You’re about to bump up the treadmill to hit a new high running speed when your hand grazes the wires on your headphones and out they fly. You proceed to stop the treadmill, collect them, and hop back on. It’s time to stop that. These relatively inexpensive earbuds fit great in most ears and have an impressive battery life.

Tiger Balm

Whether you’re just starting a new workout routine or hit the gym five days a week, it’s likely that you need a quick fix to muscle aches and pains. Rub the non-staining Tiger Balm on your skin and feel a warm tingle. The herbal blend contains camphor and menthol to elicit that “ahh” feeling.

TriggerPoint Foam Roller

The pros know that even 10 minutes a day of foam rolling can help ease sore muscles and stretch out muscle fibers. When you think of recovery and the tools you need to ease any tension, TriggerPoint is the brand for you. The hollow core means it’s lightweight enough to throw in a gym bag, but still provides enough pressure to help you really dig into those IT bands.

Endeavor Athletic 9-Inch Short

These stretchy gym shorts work for runs, indoor cycling, Pilates — even yoga. The deep side pockets are an ideal place to store your phone so you can stream a workout or music while you’re on the treadmill. Leave your workout sweaty and watch as the shorts bead it all off.

The 15 Best Gifts for Dog Lovers

The dog lover is the dog owner. Simple as that. Anyone who owns a dog is actively invested in its well-being, and our guide aims to improve the lives of both dog and parent. If you like getting outdoors and long, cozy naps, read on.

The Lifetime Leash

Cheap leashes will burden dogs and their owners. Which is why Atlas Pet Co. built a better one in the Lifetime Leash. The Lifetime Leash is handmade in the U.S. with premium-grade climbing rope and the woven structure provides greater resistance to chewing. But if a pup does somehow destroy it, Atlas will replace it for life. All that makes it a perfect gift for the dog lover (and their best friend).

K&H Pet Products Crate Pad

Out of Colorado Springs, Colorado, K&H Pet Products is most known for making versatile, vet-recommended pet gear that doesn’t break the bank. Its crate beds embody this to a tee — they start at $8, you can get them in self-warming or odor control varieties and they come in a few different colors.

Honest Kitchen Beams Treats

When buying dog treats, or just processed foods in general, less is more. The Honest Kitchen’s Beams treat has one item on the ingredients list: dried salmon skin, which are naturally packed with Omega-3s, high in protein and good for dogs of any age.

Wild One Tennis Balls

Wild One is a new brand with cutesy branding and cutesy products — like this these tennis balls. As it turns out, most match-ready tennis balls are not great for a dog’s mouth since they’re made of an abrasive felt that can damage gums and teeth. These aren’t, and they’ve got a rubber core for extra bounciness — because why not.

Qalo Mountain Silicone Tags

The solution to dogs with jingly collars is here, and it looks better than any jingly collar ever did. Qalo’s 100 percent silicone tags come in more than ten designs and can be engraved with dog names, parents’ names, phone numbers, addresses and more.

The Original Goughnut

This circular chew toy has no weak points. It also floats in water and bounces on the ground. But the best part is that if your dog somehow manages to chew through the durable outside layer, Goughnuts will replace it. It’s about as safe as chew toys get.

Nordic Naturals Omega 3 Pet

There’s a great deal of misinformation on the internet about many things, and for whatever reason, fish oil is one of them. Nordic Naturals fish oil, which is made using the same stuff as its human fish oil supplements, makes an outsized impact for a pretty simple addition to a dog’s diet.

Bow Wow Travel Food Bowl

There are only a few things you really need from a travel bowl — durability, affordability, water resistance and a lightweight build. This one from Fish Pond USA is just that. It’s made with a waterproof nylon interior, a jacquard mesh exterior, a heavy-set base to stay upright and priced at only $20.

Well & Good Oatmeal Dog Wash

Yes, oatmeal. This one moisturizes dry skin, alleviates itchiness, softens dogs’ coats and smells pretty decent (for dog shampoo). It’s ideal for dogs with sensitive, itchy or dry skin, but works just like any other vet-recommended wash on dogs without skin issues.

Ruffwear Float Coat

All dogs who find themselves in water regularly should have a PFD, and Ruffwear’s is one of the most-recommended out there. It features a back handle to yank your pup from the water, reflective lining to spot them during night swims and, somewhat rarely, plenty of both sizing and color options.

Blue Plant Based Poop Bags

If there were ever a time to use clap emojis, this would be it. Pick. Up. That. Poo’. And do it with these bags from Blue — they’re made with eco-friendly plastic, won’t leak and come with a nice message printed on them.

Filson Large Dog Bed

There are the people who buy a dog bed to fit their dog, and there are the people who buy their dog an enormous bed to curl up on just because. Filson’s big dog bed appeals to the latter. It has a quilted top, a supportive and comfortable polyfill and is completely liquid- and stain-resistant.

Favorite Portable Carrier

Most people don’t need the enormous, bulky, hard-topped dog carriers of yesteryear. What most people need is a dog carrier that can be broken down quickly and doesn’t weigh 50 pounds. That’s what Favorite’s carrier is — simple, easy to tow around when in-use and in between uses and reasonably affordable.

WagWear Wellies

WagWear’s Wellington-style dog shoes are dead-ringers for Hunter’s iconic rain boots. They’re fashioned from 100 percent rubber, which is ideal for overly wet environments.

Nite Ize SpotLit

Anyone who has owned a dog and lived near a treeline knows the dog will inevitably sprint into the woods at night. This is where Nite Ize’s handy, cheap collar light comes in. The $6 waterproof LED bulb is about as low-maintenance as useful dog gear gets.

The Best Gifts for Adventurers

Adventurers take risks in the pursuit of their passions, embarking on journeys that require grit and resourcefulness. They need gear that will not fail them in heightened moments. So the gifts you get for the adventurers in your life carry a different kind of magnitude. These gifts need to focus on utility, purpose and durability. And a curated list of these sorts of items, all available from Huckberry, is a great place to start.

Danner Vertigo 917 Boot

For decades, Danner has designed the best hiking boots around. And the company drew on that wealth of experience to build something with the urban explorer in mind. The Vertigo 917 is outfitted with all the technical details that make Danner’s trail boots popular, but offers a lightweight sole and twin gores for easy on-and-off. The Vertigo is as ready for the city streets as it is for the far-yonder mountainside.

Proof Heatseeker Flannel

The Heatseeker Flannel is where performance meets extreme comfort. Constructed from a brushed thermo-regulating fabric, it keeps body temperature in check similar to the way merino wool does. While it might look like your favorite flannel, it’s softer and packs a technical punch, making for a mid-layer any adventurer would wear on a hike.

Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket

Tough, timeless and made in the USA, this jacket is constructed with a waxed and weather-resistant Martexin 7 oz. sailcloth that only gets better with age. Unlike most other waxed truckers on the market, this jacket is soft out of the box and can be worn with just a tee underneath due to the comfortable blanket lining. For the price, you simply can’t beat the quality, construction and versatility of this bad boy.

Flint and Tinder 10-Year Crew

Flint and Tinder’s 10-Year Crew is a truly American product, passing through the hands of 20+ American workers to become one heck of a sweatshirt by the time it gets to you. The uncompromising design starts with a beefy 23oz. fleece from South Carolina that is expertly cut, sewn together and comfort-washed in Los Angeles for a premium sweatshirt that’ll last through every expedition.

Howler Brothers Merlin Jacket

Howler Brothers’ clothing honors the soul, passion and timeless style of sporting goods past. Those iconic silhouettes and designs are then updated to fit the modern explorer’s needs with the best of today’s technology. The Merlin is a hearty cold-weather layer that’s insulated to keep the core nice and toasty, whether you wear it as a standalone jacket or under a weatherproof storm shell.

Evergoods CPL24 Backpack

The CPL 24 is designed for the city but still features the comfort, access and durability demanded by tough outdoor gear. Perfect for any adventurer’s commute or just running errands around town, it’s an undercover workhorse that’s comfortable for all-day carry. With an ergonomic fit and versatile good looks, it’s designed for staying on the move with all your gear securely stowed away, no matter how deep into the urban jungle you go.

Arcade YOSAR Guide Belt

The fearless members of Yosemite Search and Rescue (YOSAR) save an average of 236 lives every year in Yosemite National Park. They rappel, climb or just plain run into dangerous situations without a second thought, in the name of saving the lives of others. To commemorate their bravery and continued service, Huckberry teamed up with Arcade Belts on an exclusive collection to help fund YOSAR’s rescue and safety efforts in the park (10-percent of each sale goes to YOSAR).

The Solo First Aid Kit

MyMedic was born from a simple question: “What if the tools required to save a life were made to be simple, accessible and affordable?” MyMedic first aid kits are specifically designed to help everyday people save lives in specific situations in the outdoors. Each one comes packed in a super durable carrying case that’s built to take a beating, keep first aid supplies safe from the elements and make everything accessible at a moment’s notice.

The Mehlville by The James Brand

The Mehlville carabiner, like everything else The James Brand makes, is an exercise in precision design and flawless execution. This base piece for your small EDC is carved from a solid block of sturdy 6061 aluminum, with hinge action so sweet it’s reminiscent of flipping open your favorite blade.

Field Notes Expedition Notebooks

Notebooks are really one of those things in life — what you put into them determines what you get out of them. Whether it’s a grocery list, a journal entry or a quick note for later, having a place to write things down is a crucial part of the adventurer’s life on the go. So grab a few of these US-made notebooks for your favorite adventurer and watch how fast they get filled up.

Nemo Equipment Galaxi 2P Tent

Nemo’s mission with the Galaxi tent was to make Nemo quality and innovation available to customers of all experience levels and budgets. Whether it’s your first overnight hike or you’re a seasoned veteran, this tent will provide the shelter you need. The Galaxi features a suite of great fabrics and hardware in an intuitive tent design, with a few unique embellishments to set it apart and deliver the true Nemo camp experience.

OtterBox Venture 45 Hard Cooler

OtterBox’s coolers are adaptable and ready for action for everything from a chartered fishing trip to a weekend in the woods. Built to last and backed up by a lifetime guarantee, the Venture 45 is a worry-free ice box to keep provisions cool during weekend trips in the outdoors. Take our word for it: it’s an understatement when we say this cooler means business.

Black Diamond Spot Headlamp

Black Diamond has been dedicated to developing and manufacturing the best in outdoor gear since 1957. The Spot headlamp is a versatile, fully waterproof headlamp that excels at everything from late-night tent lighting to rappelling missions in the dark. You can’t go wrong with this trusty headlamp.

BioLite FirePit + Solar Cover Bundle

Adjustable intensity, cooking capabilities with two different fuel sources, portability — it even charges phones in a pinch. The list of features for the BioLite FirePit can go on and on. The bottom line: this is the most engineered and advanced fire pit you’ll ever encounter. Yet BioLite somehow managed to keep it simple: insert wood, light a fire, and turn on the fan for the warmth of a wood campfire without the smoke of one.

Glerups

Hailing from Denmark — a country that knows a thing or two about how to stay cozy when it’s cold outside — Glerups are a favorite of anyone who’s had the good fortune of trying them. Each pair is handcrafted from toasty 100-percent pure, natural wool, which naturally wicks moisture from your feet so they’re always warm and dry.

Santa Fe Stoneworks Black Mammoth Tooth + Turquiose Vein Damascus Knife

Huckberry teamed up with Santa Fe Stoneworks for these exclusive knives, featuring mammoth tusk recovered from the icy depths of the North Sea. Around 15,000 years of fossilizing under the icy waters leaves these tusks with incredible, one-of-a-kind coloration. The polished tusk accented by elegant Sonoran turquoise veins elevates these small utility knives from handsome everyday carry items to unique works of art.

Bellroy Hide & Seek RFID Wallet

The Hide & Seek Wallet is a natural starting point for those looking to slim their pocket bulge. It’s conventional, yet loaded with hidden features and compartments that will whisk away your extra bulk. Cut from premium vegetable-tanned cow leather, it’ll protect bills and plastic for years to come. This version of the Hide & Seek sports an RFID-blocking upgrade that protects your personal information contained in identification cards, passports and smart credit or debit cards.
