55+ Best Outdoor Gifts for 2024

The best outdoor gifts for outdoor lovers, adventurers, and the outdoorsy people in your life are gifts that help extend their outdoor recreational experiences.

If you know which specific kinds of outdoor activities they like to do most, you can look for camping-specific gifts, fishing gifts, skiing & snowboard gifts, hunting gifts, hiking gifts or, for example, water play gifts for paddle boarding, kayaking or beach lovers.

If you’re looking for great gifts for nature lovers who just like to get outside and do all sorts of things in fresh air, you still have a lot of outdoor gift options for 2024 and beyond.

 

55+ Outdoor Gifts for 2024

The great thing about outdoor adventurers is they usually enjoy new outdoor gear gifts and outdoor apparel — and there are a lot of options that could fit their outdoor hobbies. This year we have 55+ great gifts for outdoor lovers and we even give you a few extra bonus outdoor gifts down below to help you find the right gift for the outdoor enthusiast in your life:

1. Kelty Low Loveseat Nest

Best outdoor gift for summer 2024!

Kelty has been killing it with their multi-person camp chairs! We were big fans of the two-person Kelty Low Loveseat, then the company introduced a three-person Kelty Lowdown Couch, which was in our top ten last year. Now the design crew at Kelty has come up with something even better: The Kelty Low Loveseat Nest. It’s basically a rugged, comfortable and just awesome two-person camp chair . . . that now has two built-in lap blankets! Look, if you’re an outdoor lover who spends time outdoors, you know the value of a good blanket when you’re sitting around a campfire in a camp chair on a chilly, starry night.

* Editor’s Note: Here’s the deal on this one: If you like the Kelty Low Loveseat Nest, better act fast before it sells out. Alternately, the non-nest multi-person Kelty camp chairs are great, too — you’ll just have to nab a camp blanket to go with them. Try the Rumpl blankets at #4 below. They’re outstanding.

2. L.L.Bean Sunbuster Pop-Up Sun Shelter

Best beach gift for summer!

Our favorite fast and easy beach pop-up sun shade is the L.L.Bean Sunbuster Pop-Up Sun Shelter. It deploys quickly, is surprisingly roomy, and it has built in sand bags to help keep it from blowing away. It not only provides shade protection, it helps you carve out a more personal spot on the beach. The floor even attaches upward to provide a private space to change clothes. To learn more, check out our full Sunbuster Review here.

 

3. Solo Stove Roasting Sticks

A classic outdoor camping gift — but ruggedized! 

While a nearly smoke-free Solo Stove Fire Pit makes a great gift for outdoor lovers, there is an even better option that is a good fit for most outdoor adventurers: Solo Stove’s roasting Sticks. These ‘Sticks’ are made from rugged stainless steel and they’re stout enough to roast hot dogs without curving into an anxiety-inducing bend. They come in a 3-pack in their own rolled case. If your outdoor lover likes to roast marshmallows and make smores, these are the roasting sticks they’ll use for years.

4. Rumpl Original Puffy Blankets

It’s hard to beat Rumpl style!

Rumpl has been one of our top ten best outdoor gifts for multiple years running, and for good reason: The ever-popular Rumpl Original Puffy Blanket comes in colorful designs but has the outdoor-ready soul of a sleeping bag. Our favorite is the popular Original Puffy. Most sizes are 52″ x75″ but Rumpl makes some bigger patterns in 2-person versions. Due to Rumpl’s raging success with outdoor enthusiasts, other manufacturers have started making competitive options — but Rumpl’s style remains hard to beat:

• Rumpl Original Puffy Blanket
• L.L.Bean Puffer Camp Blanket
• REI Co-op Camp Blanket

5. BioLite AlpenGlow 500 Lantern

The BioLite AlpenGlow 500 Lantern is one of our favorite camping lanterns. The feature most people notice is the colorful party modes, but the crisp and warm white light modes really caught our attention. The light produced is so clean and never glares — it makes it seem as if these lanterns are even more powerful than the 500 lumens suggest. As for those playful lighting options, you can start them just by shaking your AlpenGlow. They’re great for hot summer camping when campfires aren’t allowed, and they’re just as great for backyard get-togethers. Read our full AlpenGlow review here for more detail.

6. myCharge Waterproof Power Bank

Handiest affordable outdoor gift for most everyone!

If you’re outside and off-grid, a good waterproof battery pack like the myCharge Waterproof Power Bank is great for recharging phones and GPS or satellite communicator electronics. We’ve taken these chargers on many outdoor adventures and they’ve never failed us.

7. O’Brien Runway Flag Edition Inflatable Swim Dock

The O’Brien Runway Flag Edition Inflatable Float is a semi-rigid inflatable swim dock that delivers a great vibe on the water. Better yet, kids will play all day on it — and when they finally tire and need food and more sunscreen, adults enjoy chilling on it, too. We tested an early prototype last fall and found that it was surprisingly great. To learn more, check out our full O’Brien Runway Flag Edition Review here.

8. RTIC Ultra-Tough Wagon

The RTIC Ultra-Tough Wagon is built to haul up to 250 pounds of outdoor gear — and it will even transport RTIC’s 65-quart Hard Cooler, full of ice and drinks, no less. Better yet, this handy wagon has a quad-collapsible frame for easy transport and storage.

 

9. Sea to Summit X-Mug with Cool Grip

The Sea to Summit Cool Grip X-Mug is a collapsible silicone-based 16 oz mug that’s ready for hot drinks. The specially designed ridged sides let you hold the mug without burning your hands. This gift is great for any outdoor adventurer, and it’s a particularly great stocking stuffer gift for backpackers, hikers, campers, skiers, and anyone who likes to drink hot chocolate, coffee or tea out of the back of their pickup, SUV . . . or far off the pavement. So good.

Smaller Option: Try the 12 oz Sea to Summit Cool Grip X-Tumbler!

 

10. Kane Revive Shoes

Chris Maxcer first tested the Kane Revive as a recovery shoe and found it pretty great — particularly for those who aren’t keen on the clog style popularized by Crocs. However, the Kane Revive is far more versatile as an outdoor gift for outdoor enthusiasts: Maxcer particularly likes it as a water shoe and iSUP paddleboarding shoe. The Kane Revive not only drains fast, floats, and dries near instantly, it offers great toe protection over rocky ground.

11. L.L.Bean Adventure Mesh Gear Tote

The L.L.Bean Adventure Mesh Gear Tote is great for packing wet gear home, which makes it a handy gift for beach goers and paddlers. Plus, the mesh makes it easy to see what’s inside. The draw string close-top system lets you seal the top for security on the go, but if you don’t need the top, it folds down into the tote and out of the way.

Waterproof Option: If you’d rather give a fully waterproof adventure tote, check out our review of the RUX Waterproof Tote Bag here.

12. BOTE Inflatable Docks

While inflatable stand-up paddleboards are awesome, you can’t beat floating docks for family and friends summer fun. Like the sunshade, floating docks give you a space to hang out on a public beach without fighting the crowds for a prime bit of sand next to the water. BOTE offers an extensive line of high-quality drop-stitch inflatables with multiple shapes, configurations, and packages — including inflatable chairs!

Recommendation: If you’re not sure where to start, it’s hard to go wrong with a BOTE Inflatable Dock.

13. Bote Inflatable Chairs

We tested the BOTE Inflatable AeroRondak Chair this summer and it was an instant winner with friends, family and passers-by. It is fantastic for the beach and everyone wants to sit in it. Better yet, we set it on an inflatable dock and it was everyone’s favorite place on the lake. The photo at the top of this guide shows a Man Makes Fire gear tester enjoying a hot mug of coffee early one morning in the AeroRondak Chair on a floating dock with her dog. Such a cool photo and great way to start the morning!

Alternative Option: While we’re fans of the roomy AeroRondak Chair, we think the best buy would be to nab two Inflatable Aero Chair XL chairs instead for more versatility — or maybe even the sweet Inflatable Aero Couch, which is big enough for two outdoor lovers!

14. Grundéns Deck-Boss Ankle Boots

The Grundéns Deck-Boss Ankle Boots are comfortable, grippy and ready for long days on the water. Grundéns has added thicker insoles to these handy boots, giving them very competitive shock absorption in their class. Razor siping on the tread helps give you traction on slick decks and docks. Grundéns also offers some super cute women’s versions, too.

15. Stanley Adventure All-In-One Boil + Brew French Press

Best outdoor gift for coffee lovers!

It’s hard to go wrong with the simple and effective Stanley Adventure All-In-One Boil + Brew French Press. If you’ve never used a french press to make coffee, don’t worry, it’s surprisingly easy and makes outstanding coffee. With this kit, your outdoor enthusiast can boil the water in the stainless steel shell then add coffee grounds, wait four minutes, and press to filter out the grounds. So good.

16. Kelty Camp Galley Deluxe

If your outdoor lover likes camping, the new Kelty Camp Galley Deluxe makes storing and accessing camp kitchen essentials easy! The only drawback is that finding the Kelty Camp Galley Deluxe still in stock might be tough — look here too:

Backcountry.com | REI | Sportsman’s

17. YETI Camino 35 Carryall Tote

Most versatile outdoor gift!

YETI self-proclaims the YETI Camino 35 Carryall as the “GOAT” (greatest of all time) tote bag . . . and we don’t think that’s hyperbole at all. The newly updated YETI Camino 35 is super rugged and now features deployable dividers that let you organize the contents . . . or push them out of the way to the side. Plus, you get two interior zippers for important little items like car keys or your phone. Not sure about a “tote” as a gift? Don’t be. They’re fantastic for the beach and are great for any day trip. So handy. Plus, YETI offers multiple sizes and lots of great colors.

Budget Option: RTIC Tote Bag (simple & rugged)
Hunter Option: L.L.Bean Hunter Tote (for camo lovers)

 

18. The North Face ThermoBall Traction Booties

One of our all-time best outdoor gifts!

For anyone who appreciates some cozy warmth, it’s impossible to ignore The North Face ThermoBall Traction Booties. They look like a puffy jacket for your feet — and they pretty much are. They use the same ThermoBall Eco insulation The North Face uses in its popular jackets. While the ThermoBall Traction Booties are great for wearing around inside, the rubber outsole is rugged enough to let you walk around at base camp or put on for the drive home after a hard day of skiing. They’re available in men’s, women’s and even kid’s versions. Highly recommended.

19. REI Co-op Trail 25 Backpack

Best outdoor gift for hikers

This popular and affordable REI Co-op Trail 25 Backpack is a well-built, well-designed trail-ready day pack. It’s made from recycled materials, has plenty of pockets, includes a rain cover, and features an internal HDPE framesheet to give it structure and protect your back from whatever gear you want to carry.

20. Cotopaxi Batac Del Dia 24 L Pack

Also works well as a carryon travel pack!

Cotopaxi assembles its packs and bags from brightly colored swatches of recycled and remnant fabrics. The result are playful, jaunty, fun-loving and unique packs.  The Cotopaxi Batac Del Dia 24 L Pack weighs in at just 1.1 lbs, and it’s great for light hikes. It’s also sized to work as an airplane carryon bag, which makes it a great travel pack. Worried about the color options? Don’t be. Cotopaxi has an eye for complimentary colors and they always seem to come out great!

 

21. Swiftwick ‘National Parks Collection’ Vision Impression Socks

If your outdoor lover is a fan of America’s National Parks — or even just one National Park — the Swiftwick National Parks Collection Vision Socks pair majestic landmarks with high-performance socks. Swiftwick socks are ready for the hike, ready for the run, and ready for kicking back and relaxing at camp.

22. YETI Yonder Water Bottle

The YETI Yonder Water Bottle is rugged yet refined. A flatter side makes it easier to grip than similar competitive water bottles while the Yonder Cap lets you sip, chug, or add ice. The cap is also a handle and is carabiner/clip ready. And it’s dishwasher safe!

23. Kelty Backroads Shelter

Outdoor gifts for sun and rain!

When we first tested the Kelty Backroads Shelter, we were blown away by the versatility and easy setup. Better yet, if your outdoor lover uses their vehicle as a base camp or picnic place on backcountry pullouts, the Kelty Backroads Shelter gives you cozy weather protection and bit of extra privacy.

Lighter Option: If you don’t need the sidewalls and rear door, the Kelty Sideroads Awning is fantastic too:

24. RovR RollR 60 Wheeled Cooler

When we took the RovR RollR 60 Wheeled Cooler on a multi-day camping trip this summer for testing (full RollR review here), the RollR’s playful design style made a good first impression for setting the tone for a great trip. The RollR’s outstanding overall performance over gravel trails and the innovative ‘Deep Freeze Dry Bin’ impressed us with its usability and versatility. Plus, as we note in our guide to the best wheeled coolers, the RovR RollR has the best accessories!

25. GCI Outdoor Kickback Rocker Chair

The GCI Outdoor Kickback Rocker Chair uses innovative piston engineering to replicate a rocking chair that’s camping ready. You get all the benefits of a relaxing rock . . . but it all folds up into a packable bag not much larger than standard camp chairs. The only drawback to this gift idea for outdoor lovers might be the result: having to share the rocker chair with friends and family!

Upgrade Option: If you like the idea of a camp chair but not the rock, the YETI Trailhead Camp Chair is ultra-rugged and ultra-comfortable. We’re big fans (full Trailhead review here).

Alternate Design Option: Consider a hammock-style chair like the Ascend Hammock Chair (budget) or Nemo Stargaze Recliner Luxury Chair (super awesome).

26. Sea to Summit Aeros Inflatable Pillow

Great outdoor gift for backpackers and campers!

Sea to Summit makes some of the lightest, most comfortable inflatable pillows in the world. The company’s Aero line of pillows come in multiple size and and weight options, which means you should be able to find a great option for a backpacker, camper, or traveler. The Aeros Premium Pillow is Sea to Summit’s bestselling pillow — and it’s light enough for backpacking while being cushy enough for camping. For a packable yet full-size wonder, choose the Aeros Premium Deluxe Pillow.

Multiple Outdoor Gift Pillow Options: To learn more about Sea to Summit inflatable pillows, read our Aeros ‘how to choose’ review guide here.

 

27. Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3 Waterproof Speaker

The Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3 is a small, rugged, and surprisingly loud waterproof, Bluetooth speaker. We take ours camping, rafting, fishing, and to the beach — and it even does its job in the garage.

Upgrade Options: Ultimate Ears Boom 3, the larger Megaboom 3, or the extra-rugged DemerBox.

28. Patagonia Black Hole Duffel

Rugged duffels are hard-to-beat outdoor gifts

The legendary Patagonia Black Hole Duffel won’t actually suck ubp everything you stuff into it, but it is roomy and surprisingly well designed (full Black Hole Duffel review here). Patagonia uses lightweight, rugged fabrics and includes backpack straps for those times your outdoor traveler needs to navigate airports or long hauls to a yurt or campsite. For a more travel-focused outdoor adventurer, be sure to consider the Black Hole MLC 45L — it’s perfectly sized for carryon and its organizational design is superb.

Burlier Option: The North Face Base Camp Duffel

29. CGear Sand-Free Outdoor Camping Mat

It looks just like any other mat, but the CGear Sand-Free Outdoor Mat uses a patented weave that keeps sand from coming up through it while letting grains of sand pass through and under it. The military has created helicopter landing pads out in the desert with this stuff. For regular outdoor-loving humans, it’s great for the beach and camping.

Budget Option: Bass Pro Shops Eclipse Multi-Purpose Mat

30. BOTE Inflatable Bag Toss Classic

While we’re big fans of BOTE’s inflatable furniture — more on that down below — the BOTE Inflatable Aero Bag Toss Classic ‘corn hole’ game set brings the fun to the beach or BBQ with ease. BOTE says the Aero Bag Toss Classic has a patent-pending design. The interior is made with thousands drop-stitch fibers that result in a rigid board when inflated with the included pump. If you haven’t played the game, it’s a heckuva lot of fun for both kids and adults!

31. Remind REMEDY Heat Moldable Insoles

Remind Insoles are go-to insoles for action sports. They got their start with skateboarders who often suffer through flat-soled shoes with lousy support, but outdoor hikers and backpackers have also found Remind Insoles. They’ve learned they work great for hiking boots and most any other shoe, too. Remind uses multiple layers of responsive foam with excellent rebound characteristics. You can take Remind’s Insole Finder Quiz to dial in your arch type and needed thickness . . . or you can just buy the do-everything heat-moldable REMEDY insoles to give you a custom fit. Gear tester Chris Maxcer popped a pair of the REMEDY insoles in the oven for a few minutes, then into his Zamberlan 996 VIOZ GTX elk hunting boots. He tested them by hiking through rugged Idaho terrain for more than 100 miles during archery elk season and wore them while packing out elk with 90-lb backpack loads. He reports: “The REMEDY felt great from my first step, and they’ve held up remarkably well. I had no foot pain and very little fatigue, even after difficult hunts. I have no intentions of removing them anytime soon!”

32. L.L.Bean River Tube

The L.L.Bean River Tube features a 600-denier polyester cover with a 1000-denier bottom for excellent durability. It has a heavy-gauge PVC inner tube with a one-way fast valve for quick inflation and deflation. For travel, it packs into mesh bag with shoulder straps. It’s one of our favorite outdoor gift idea for families who like to float rivers and play on the beach.

33. Outdoor Gifts: Counter Assault Bear Spray

With more people getting outside for outdoor recreation than ever before, bear-and-human conflicts have risen. While the best policy is to avoid bears, particularly sows with cubs, Counter Assault Bear Spray is an easy-to-use proven deterrent that saves lives. It’s a great gift for hikers, backpackers and backcountry trekkers.

34. Coleman Screen Canopy Sun Shelter with Instant Setup

This outdoor gift idea won’t let pesky insects ruin your day!

If there’s one thing that can ruin an outdoor picnic or camping trip, it’s pesky mosquitoes, no-see-ums, biting gnats, and worse — yellow jackets and hornets. The best screen houses have insect-proof walls and tops that provide shade and shed some rain. The Coleman Instant Screenhouse gives you a 15′ x 13′ zone of protection. It fits over the top of most picnic tables and it sets up in under a minute!

Smaller Packed Size Option: We’re big fans of the roomy-yet-affordable Bass Pro Shops Eclipse Refuge Screen House. It’s not the fastest to set up, but it’s so packable that you can take it along on most any trip.

 

35. YETI Panga Waterproof Backpack

Go anywhere no matter the weather!

YETI makes this list a lot because the company has built its whole brand upon building ultra-rugged outdoor gear. The waterproof YETI Panga 28L Backpack is no exception. It’s burly, roomy and ready for anything. Read our full Panga 28L review here for more detail, as well as our YETI Panga Duffel Review.

Alternative Option: Grundéns 30 Liter Rumrunner Backpack

36. ENO DoubleNest Hammock

Here’s another can’t-go-wrong outdoor gift idea: The roomy Eagles Nest Outfitters DoubleNest Hammock. It’s sized for two and still cozy for one. Plus, it comes in a wide variety of colors and has its own attached stuff sack.

37. Kammok Swiftlet Hammock Stand

Hammocks make great gifts for outdoor lovers, no doubt, but what do you do when you can find suitable trees? The sturdy-yet-portable Kammok Swiftlet Hammock Stand lets you take your hammock just about anywhere. And when you’re stuck at home? It works on the back deck or yard, too!

38. First-Aid Kit

The best outdoor-ready first-aid kits are from Adventure Medical Kits. The company creates packable kits in different sizes set up for hikers, backpackers, kayakers, hunters, and even dog-lovers. Our favorite all-around firzt-aid kit is the Adventure Medical Kits Mountain Series Explorer.

 

39. Leatherman Signal Topo Multi-Tool

The Leatherman Signal Topo Multi-Tool is the boss of multi-tools, and it’s the one multi-tool we like to have with us just in case we’re in a survival situation. The blade, saw, pliers, and even safety whistle are all great . . . but the built-in fire-starting ferro rod is what we want with us in true emergencies. Plus, the laser-etched topo map lines on the blade just remind outdoor enthusiasts of the things they love.

Lighter Option: Leatherman Skeletool Topo Multi-Tool and the ‘best value’ Leatherman Sidekick Multi-Tool.

40. L.L.Bean Bean Boots

The L.L.Bean ‘Bean’ Boots are handmade in the state of Maine and come in dozens of variations and styles for both men and women. There is light leather, dark leather, insulated, shearling-lined, flannel lined, and canvas options in different heights. It’s hard to go wrong with any of them: Bean Boots deliver classic good looks with a rugged build that can handle the great outdoors.

41. DryGuy Force Dry Portable Boot Dryer

Our favorite portable boot dryer is the DryGuy Force Dry Boot Dryer. It folds down for easy packing yet delivers a blast of warm air that quickly (yet gently) dries boots, shoes, gloves and even ski boots! Don’t need a packable version? Choose the four-port DryGuy Force DX Boot Dryer for home use.

42. YETI Rambler Colster Can Insulators

If you know the type of canned beverage your outdoor lover likes to drink from most, the YETI Rambler Colster Can Insulator will keep their drink surprisingly chilly on even the hottest summer days. The standard 12 oz version handles standard soda and beer cans while the Colster Slim version is perfect for all the super popular hard seltzers. YETI even offers a 16 oz Tall version for big cans. As outdoor gifts go, it’s a solid option in an affordable price range.

Alternative Options: There are many competitive options that work nearly as well as the YETI versions. Try RTIC and even Ozark Trail at Walmart.

 

43. L.L.Bean Scotch Plaid Flannel Shirt

The bestselling L.L.Bean Scotch Plaid Flannel Shirt — available for both men and women in a variety of sizes, including relaxed, slightly fitted, and tall — blends a super soft long-lasting flannel with classic bright plaid patterns. If you’re thinking flannel as an outdoor gift, you can’t go wrong here.

44. ISLE Pioneer 3.0 iSUP

ISLE’s popular do-it-all, beginner-friendly ISLE Pioneer 3.0 iSUP is sure be on sale this holiday season, making a good buy positively great. If your adventure lover will likely want to cruise shorelines for miles rather than hangout near base camp at the beach, choose the longer Explorer 3.

Meanwhile, if you’re a ‘Go Big or Go Home’ kind of adventurer or gift giver, check out the multi-person paddling awesomeness of the monster ISLE Megalodon 2.0:

45. Cascade Mountain Tech Carbon Fiber Trekking Poles

Trekking poles aren’t just for aging hikers — the cool kids who like to cover ground over rough terrain and packing trekking poles these days, too. It’s hard to go wrong with the popular and affordable Cascade Mountain Tech Carbon Fiber Trekking Poles, which come with multiple baskets and feet.

46. L.L.Bean Mountain Classic Down Vest

The L.L.Bean Mountain Classic Down Vest has, as the name suggest, classic outdoor-ready good looks. It’s available in versions for both men and women — but that’s not all. If your outdoor lover is more of a hard-charger outside, consider L.L.Bean’s Ultralight 850 Down Vest.

Shop Patagonia, Cotopaxi & Arc’Teryx vests at REI can get FREE Shipping on orders over $50!

 

47. Solo Stove Bonfire Fire Pit

The stainless steel Solo Stove Bonfire fire pit series use a unique Solo Stove Signature 360° Airflow Design that creates an efficient burn that produces less smoke than standard fire pits. The Solo Stove Bonfire and larger Yukon are particularly great for the backyard, but the Solo Stove Ranger (pictured above) is small enough to pack to the beach or campsite.

48. Outland Living Firebowl Deluxe Propane Fire Pit

The Outland Living Firebowl Deluxe Fire Pit is an astoundingly good deal. It runs off of clean-burning propane, which means you can take it most anywhere — and sometimes even use it when wood-fired campfires are banned due to drought conditions. This fire pit puts out a whopping 58,000 BTUs per hour. It comes with a handy lid and strap to hold it all together for travel!

49. Bottle Bash!

Bottle Bash is outdoor game that is simple yet challenging and a heckuva lot of fun: You basically play frisbee while trying to knock a plastic bottle off of the included stands while catching both the frisbee and the bottle. You can play it on the beach, in shallow water, at your campsite, at the park or in the backyard.

50. BioLite BaseCharge 600

The BioLite BaseCharge 600 is a portable rechargeable power station, capable of delivering plenty of power while camping in awesome off-grid public land locations. And when your outdoor adventure enthusiasts is stuck at home, the BaseCharge 600 is perfect for home emergencies when storms knock down power lines.

Alternate Buying Option: Shop the new BioLite BaseCharge 600 or 1500 at Amazon! 

 

51. WeBoost Drive Reach

The weBoost Drive Reach in-vehicle cell phone signal booster is legit. We tested the Drive Reach in deep Idaho canyons and far off the pavement in the mountains of Nevada, and wow, it delivers extended service to your smartphone. If there’s a signal available at all, the weBoost can pick it up and make your cell phone usable. For outdoor enthusiasts, road trippers, and backcountry explorers, the weBoost is great for added safety . . . and just all-around connectivity when you need to check-in with the modern world from afar. If you’re shopping for a an outdoor lover who drives away from cell towers, the weBoost Drive Reach is one of our favorite outdoor gifts.

52. Uncharted Supply Co ‘The Zeus’

The newly updated Uncharted Supply Co ‘The Zeus Pro’ Jump Starter is one of the most powerful and reliable portable battery jump starters you can buy. The previous version, the original The Zeus, saved us in the backcountry — 80 miles from the nearest town — after a pickup battery lost its charge at the trailhead. With no other vehicle around to provide a jump start, The Zeus saved the day. The newly upgraded Zeus Pro version has 20,000 mAh and modern USB-C ports that you can use to charge larger devices, like laptops. Our publisher keeps one in his pickup at all times.

Alternative Option: The slightly smaller 16,000 mAh The Athena is arguably the best buy — and it’ll still jump start a 6.0L gasoline or diesel engine at least 15 times on a single charge! (We believe in Uncharted Supply so much, Man Makes Fire just bought two for testing and more in-depth reviews.)

 

53. TRUCK Gloves

Outdoor gifts for work or play!

TRUCK makes direct-to-consumer work gloves, ski and snowboard gloves, and even mountain biking gloves. All TRUCK Gloves we’ve tested have excellent and boast superb price-to-value ratios. For snow, the M1 Pro is hard to beat for the price — and it just gets better the more your wear it. Perfect for outdoor lovers who like to get after it. We’re big fans.

Classic Heritage Option: Filson Original Lined Goatskin Gloves

54. UCO Stormproof Match Kit

Every outdoor enthusiast who treks beyond the beaten path should have some sort of fire-making tool. One of our favorites is the UCO Titan Stormproof Match Kit. You get monster waterproof, windproof matches that burn long enough to start even reluctant tinder.

55. L.L.Bean Spin/Fly Outfit

The L.L.Bean Spin/Fly Outfit includes two complete fishing rods and reels in one handy padded pack. You get a spin fishing rod as well as a fly rod — which will let your outdoor enthusiast go fishing on their outdoor adventures.

Bonus Outdoor Gifts:

There are so many great outdoor gifts for 2024 that that we sometimes simply must add a few extra for you:

YETI Roadie 24 Hard Cooler

We weren’t always fans of the YETI Roadie 24 Hard Cooler, but after using it one summer, we find ourselves reaching for it on most road trips. It’s super rugged and has excellent cooling capabilities. It’s a little spendy, but it’ll last forever. And if you’re one camp chair short, you can sit on it!

Korkers Fish Moc Collection Shoes

The new Korkers Fish Moc Collection Shoes are perfect for outdoor lovers who also like to fish. These new mocs come from a collaboration between renowned fish-focused artist Derek DeYoung and Korkers, which is most know for its fishing wading boots & shoes. This hot new collection of shoes and flip flops features colorful artwork that depicts the sides of freshwater and saltwater fish, including brown trout, rainbow trout, brook trout, bass, tarpon, dorado and more.

ICEMULE Pro Backpack Cooler

After four years, our ICEMULE Pro Backpack Cooler is still going strong. It’s deceptively simple design works fantastically well. It’s basically an insulated dry bag with backpack straps. We take ours fishing, camping, and rafting — and it’s particularly great anytime you have to make a long trek to find your spot on the beach. Fantastic price-to-value ratio. Very highly recommended.

Alternative Soft Cooler Backpack: The YETI Hopper M20 Backpack Cooler is a bit more rugged and shaped.

Grundéns Deviation Sherpa Boots

Last year we recommended the awesome rubber Grundéns Deck-Boss Ankle Boots — which are still great — but the new Grundéns Deviation Sherpa Boots are too comfortable to ignore. They share the same rubber design as the Deviation, which we reviewed here, but the Sherpa version makes them even better with a fleece lining. Lots of guys we know might hesitate to buy themselves a fleece-lined boot, but if they got it as a gift? They’d enjoy it for sure. Meanwhile, Grundéns offers a super cute women’s version, too. The only drawback is that we’re limited to just two color choices.

Warmer Weather Option: If you’re not facing cold weather, stick with the do-it-all Grundéns Deck-Boss Anke Boots, which come in many color options.
