Working in the outdoor industry has some major perks. We get to spend our days around like-minded people, share our experiences and knowledge with our community, and we are in the know about the latest gear. While we’ve been cultivating gift guides for you and your adventure buddies, your local Alabama Outdoors managers have been adding to their own personal wish lists and saving their pennies to make their gear wishes come true. Here are the top items on our staff wish lists this season.

 

 

Vuori Women’s Performance Joggers

“Can you go wrong with the softest, comfiest pants around? I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say anything negative about these joggers. In fact, oftentimes after purchasing their first pair, they’re back to collect all the colors (myself included in this count). They’re the perfect gift for nearly everyone – including yourself. These are my go-to joggers for all activities including a light hike, running errands, going to the gym, and relaxing at home. I suggest getting the size you would typically wear in most things if you want them fitted and sizing up if you’d prefer a looser, more ‘loungy’ fit.” Click to shop Vuori Performance Joggers in Men’s and Women’s.

The North Face Men’s Thermoball Eco Jacket in Monterey Blue

The “it” jacket of the season. The North Face Thermoball Eco Jacket is a lightweight softshell that provides warmth above its weight class. Made from insulated post-consumer recycled content for superior lightweight and packable warmth on cold hikes, it’s as light on the earth as it is in your pack. “I use it almost everyday during the winter time and even use it as a mid layer while skiing. You can’t beat the versatility of the Thermoball.” Click to shop The North Face Thermoball Eco Jacket in Men’s and Women’s.

Alabama Outdoors Apparel Women’s Performance Tech Joggers

The only pair of joggers you’ll ever need and about to be your new favorite. The new AO Apparel Performance Jogger is the ideal pair of do-anything “sweats” that’ll keep you cool and comfy no matter the weather. “I want the AO Apparel Performance Joggers because this year is all about comfort for me; and, these are the coziest pants in the building while offering top notch performance for a nice day hike!” Click to shop Alabama Outdoors Apparel Performance Tech Joggers in Men’s and Women’s.

Vuori Clean Elevation Leggings

“My Christmas wishlist item is definitely some Vuori Clean Elevation Leggings. They come in so many cute colors and are currently some of my favorite leggings to run in. They do a great job of staying up around my waist while also being made of the softest material. I think they’re a great gift because many of the different colored leggings have matching tops to go with them!” Click to shop Vuori Women’s Clean Elevation Leggings.
