Gifts for adventure Travelers

Adventure travelers are tough to shop for. They generally prefer experiences to objects, and are more likely to spend their own money on plane tickets than stuff. But even minimalist globetrotters need gear, and our online shop is full of exactly what they’re looking for.

These affordable items are designed to perform in all corners of the globe, from the local campground to the mountains of Tajikistan.

Gear to carry

To adventure travelers, luggage is far more than just a way move clothes from one city to another. These folks live out of their backpacks and suitcases, so they need stuff that will hold up to jungle rainstorms, long bus rides, and whatever else the world throws at it.

We’ve torture-tested all the Carry gear in our shop, and it all held up. But for adventure travel, we’re particularly fond of these three pieces:

Gear to hydrate

From tap water in Mexico City to streams in the French Alps, adventure travelers are often faced with dicey water options. So veteran globetrotters generally bring some sort of water purification system on their travels.

Our preferred system is the E-Z Clean filter cartridge from Katadyn, which uses a 0.1 micon hollow fiber filter to clean out parasites like Giardia and Cryptosporidium. That cartridge can fit onto any of the Katadyn or Hydrapak bottles sold in the Hydrate section of our shop.

Gear for gear

It’s now the year 2017, and like it or not, we’re all hopelessly addicted to our gadgets. So even on a high trail through the Karakorum mountains, adventure travelers need some way to keep their smartphones running. Those Instagrams aren’t going to post themselves, after all.

We sell a whole host of off-grid technology workarounds in the Power and Light section of our shop, from solar panels and power banks to battery-powered Bluetooth speakers.

Check out our online shop to see the rest of our gear collection. Each item has been field tested and approved by our team of outdoor adventure experts.

We offer free shipping on any order larger than $98.
