Echo Hoody — Men’s & Women’s: $65

Ferrosi Convertible Pants — Men’s & Women’s: $80

These pants make a great gift for the outdoorsmen and women wanting versatility and style in their wardrobe. The pants come in a variety of styles, but we like the zip-off convertible version built with 90-denier stretch-woven ripstop and multiple zippered pockets. These are quick-drying, high-quality pants for any outdoor occasion — what more could you need?

Hemisphere Jacket — Women’s & Men’s: $599

While definitely a higher-end gift, these jackets are worth it due to the design and features. The Hemispheres collection from OR has won several accolades for its “stretchy, bomber, all-weather protection.”

Tested by GearJunkie (you can read our review here), this waterproof-breathable shell would make a great gift for the outdoor-loving, high-alpine adventurer in your life. Put simply, it’s a great jacket to both give and receive. To round out the kit, check out the Hemisphere Bibs as well, available for both men and women.

Crocodile Gaiters — Men’s & Women’s: $85

If you’re looking for a great gift for your adventurous friend or family member, these gaiters are it. Built with 1,000-denier foot panels and 70-denier leg panels, the Crocodile Gaiters work just as well keeping you dry crossing creeks in summer as they do keeping you warm and dry on any snowy hike. It’s a practical product for all four seasons of adventure.
