For the gal whose adventure bug is year round. Here are a few of our top gifts to keep her cozy and warm, and stylish while exploring in the city or wandering on the trails.

Patagonia Nano Puff Mitts

When having a puffy jacket just isn’t enough, puffy mitts are a must. Made with the synthetic down you know and love, the Patagonia Nano Puff Mitts are a warm and water-resistant glove that lets you take on the elements with ease!

Kari Traa Lokke Half-Zip

Free hugs, Nordic style. The Lokke Half-Zip is a 100% Merino wool women’s baselayer top that throws a warm, Nordic-pattern hug around your shoulders on cold days.

Kari Traa Lokke Pants

Perfect for the trails or the slopes, these Kari Traa Lokke Pants keep you outdoors all day long. With 100% Merino wool, these women’s baselayer leggings breath and naturally prevent odor. These leggings are a must-have for winter adventures.

Kavu Mini Rope Puff

Adjustable, comfy, simple, and stylish, the Kavu Mini Rope Puff is a mini sling pack with attitude. The unique diamond quilted pattern won’t get lost in the crowd. Two side-zip pockets, a cell-phone pocket, and a security pocket keep all your gear on hand. Wander in style with everything you need.

Grabber Hand Warmers

If you have never used these before, thank us now. Be ready to hit the slopes with warm hands all day long! Our air-activated Grabber Hand Warmers keep hands and fingers toasty for up to 10 hours! No shaking or kneading is required; just open the package and put the “Original” Warmers in your glove or pocket for a few minutes to start the process. How easy and awesome is that?

Patagonia Women’s Honeycomb Knit Beanie

Our favorite accessory for those chilly days, or just when you want to be cozy by the fire. A classic look with some modern upgrades, the Patagonia Women’s Honeycomb Knit Beanie is a great winter accessory. A toasty-warm, low-profile beanie made of a recycled wool/recycled nylon blend and lined with a cozy recycled fleece headband.

Forget Grandma’s knitted Holiday sweaters and matching pajama sets. This year’s family holiday card is getting an upgrade. Here are our favorite cold weather collections to outfit the whole family! From quarter zips and jackets to vests, there is a style fit for everyone! So go ahead and match, without being too “matchy, matchy”.

Patagonia Better Sweater Collection 

I say better, you say sweater. The name “Better Sweater” says it all. Once I finally joined the Better Sweater bandwagon, it quickly became my go-to sweater. It is lightweight, yet it provides enough warmth for those crisp winter days. Functional designs, timeless styling, and proven durability: These are the goods you will never get rid of. Made with our beautiful planet in mind, the Better Sweater Collection is made of 100% recycled polyester fleece. Patagonia knows it’s a fan-favorite so they have delivered fresh new styles in our favorite fleece to add to our collection. Thanks, Patagonia!

Patagonia Los Gatos Collection

The Los Gatos collection is probably the fuzziest piece of clothing you will ever wear. Enough said, right? Also made from 100% recycled polyester fleece, it makes us love it even more. These are perfect for Mom and Daughter to dress up or throw on to relax around the house. Our favorite is the new Los Gatos Hooded Pullover as it provides extra warmth with the kangaroo pocket and hood. You don’t want to go through winter without this piece.

Patagonia Down Sweater Collection

Talking about better sweaters (pun intended), here is another- made with down. Yup. The perfect warmth for just about everything, the Patagonia Down Sweater is lightweight and windproof with a 100% recycled polyester ripstop shell and 800-fill-power Traceable Down. Everyone else flocks to warm rock, relishing t-shirt weather, but you are chasing early-season ice in the mountains. The shell on this down jacket does more than look sharp; it’s snow-shedding and windproof.

Patagonia Nano Puff Collection

  An iconic jacket and recently redesigned to reduce the environmental impact as the Nano Puff insulation is made of synthetic fibers. This year Patagonia transitioned to using a 100% recycled PrimaLoft Insulation which reduces carbon emissions by 510,000 pounds annually. High five to that! Our favorite feature of the Nano Puff Collection is the internal chest pocket. It keeps your items safe and doubles as a stuff sack for the jacket for space-saving packing. Highly compressible, it re-stuffs with ease, every time. 

Patagonia Lightweight Synchilla Collection

Retro, soft, and styled with versatility. The classic Lightweight Synchilla fleece is the luxury line of fleece. Perfect for the trails on a brisk day and a night around the campfire, bundled up with a blanket and a hot insulated cup of something. Pairs well with your favorite jeans, adventure boots, and socks to keep you cozy and fashionable.

The North Face Gordon Lyons Collection

You could say this is the battle of the brands. Very similar to the Patagonia Better Sweater is The North Face Gordon Lyons series. As both styles are made of a sweater-knit fleece, they are very versatile for a wide range of activites. We like the stylish two-tone colorway options North Face delivers as well as the more relaxed fit. Another plus? The Gordon Lyons is slightly heavier making it warmer when the temperature drops even lower. We think you will like the price, too.

What’s even better? A single application lasts 6 washings or 42 days of sun exposure which is great for your longer backpacking adventures.

 
Sawyer Mini Water Filter

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Possibly the most ultimate tool for the outdoors that even fair-weather day hikers should carry is a water filter. The Sawyer MINI Water Filter weighs only 2 ounces, and filters up to 100,000 gallons! The MINI can be attached to the included collapsible drinking pouch, inline on a hydration pack, on a standard soda bottle, or simply use the included drinking straw to drink directly from the water source. How is that for versatility?

From bandages and duct tape to allergy and pain medication, this has everything any adventure could need all packed in a small pouch.

Black Diamond Spot Lite 160 Headlamp

Keep the light on and hands free when you need them. This is one product I can’t have enough of as they are that useful. The Black Diamond Spot Lite 160 Headlamp is one of Black Diamond’s lightest and smallest headlamps. Its waterproof body can handle the rain or sleet. Perfect for pre-dawn or post-dusk adventures. Small enough to stash in your pack or car just in case.

Whether the camping enthusiast on your list is a seasoned backpacker or they are just getting started.
We have picked out a few top essentials that will make their next camping trip their best night under the stars.

Helinox Chair One 

This is no ordinary soccer mom folding chair or basic camp chair. The Helinox Chair One was voted the best outdoor adventure accessory at the prestigious ISPO awards in Munich on January 26, 2015. Yes, a chair! Ultra lightweight, super strong, incredibly compact, simple, reliable and wonderfully comfortable. It is the perfect portable chair for hikers and beach goers alike. So use it during those sunset hikes or anywhere you want to sit back and relax.

Kelty All Inn 2P Tent

We all remember our first camping trip when it seemed it was more work than camping is supposed to be. The All Inn 2P Tent is Kelty’s premier backpacking tent and it puts the simple back in camping. It is made up of strong yet lightweight nylon and has innovative tent pole designs that make this tent feel like a real room, and of course, it keeps you safe from the elements. The backpacking tents are great as they are so lightweight that you won’t feel like you’re hauling equipment around.

NEMO Fillo Luxury Backpacking Pillow

This pillow changed the camping game for me and every memory I had growing up about camping and compromising comfort for a night in the wilderness. With the comfort of your favorite pillow at home and the ability to pack it down and travel light, the Fillo™ is perfect. It is soft and yielding, yet substantial enough for side-sleepers. It’s amazing in the backcountry, but also great on an airplane or as lumbar support. It’s everything you want in a sidekick pillow for all adventures.

SOL Origin Survival Kit

The name says it all, Survival Kit. This is your ready-when-you-need-it kit for anything you might need amongst the elements. From simple things like safety pins to fire starters and knives, it has all the essentials in case of emergency. With its compact waterproof case, this one is a no brainer as it is small but mighty! The two key features we want in all of our gear.

Marmot Nanowave 35° Synthetic Sleeping Bag – Regular

Outdoor fabrics have come a long way since I started camping when I was just a young explorer. Much like any equipment we recommend, this bag is lightweight, packable, and it will keep you warm even when the temperature drops as low as 35°F. Its synthetic insulation will keep you warm even when things get a little wet. The Marmot Nanowave 35 Sleeping Bag is a must for your next outdoor adventure under the stars.

MPOWERD Luci Outdoor 2.0 Inflatable Solar Light

The Luci lantern is one of my all-time favorite camping accessories. Its lightweight and collapsible design make it easy to take with you. All you have to do is set it out in the sun to charge, inflate the lantern when you are ready to use it, and press on. It comes with four different light modes to brighten your trail or dimly light up your tent. Pack a few and hang them around camp to give your site a true outdoor patio vibe. What makes it even better for your outdoor adventure? It’s waterproof.

United States Forest Service Map

I can hear it now, “this is so 1990”, right? No. Every explorer should bring a map no matter how long the journey is! While technology is great and sometimes life-saving, an old-fashioned paper map (and compass) will show you the way even when you are off of the grid with no signal around. Sure, bring your phone for some fireside tunes, but test out the true explorer in yourself with these great maps from the United States Forest Service. Both Bankhead National Forest and Talladega National Forest offer miles of trails and many sites for camping!
