Hiking Gift Guides
Hiking gear can be expensive, but sometimes it’s important to put quality over quantity. The good news is you can slowly chip away and purchase your hiking gear one piece at a time.
This next section includes only brands and products we use ourselves. We often wait for black friday sales or other special sales during the year to purchase new hiking gear.
Here are a few of our favorite outdoor brands:
- Patagonia – Upscale outdoor clothing made with environmental sustainability
- REI – Outdoor gear including camping, hiking, climbing, biking, etc.
- Osprey – Hiking and travel backpacks
Browse our hiking gift guides, but then bookmark or save the guide to return anytime.
