Hot New Outdoor Gifts for Father’s Day

If your dad is an outdoorsman, there are lots of great outdoor gifts for Father’s Day to go with his adventurous spirit.

Whether your dad is a fishing fanatic, off-grid camping fan, whiskey lover or all-around adventurer, these fresh Father’s Day gift ideas are sure to complement his passion for the great outdoors.

In this guide to gifts for your outdoorsy dad, I’ll share some of my favorite new picks for this year. Father’s Day is Sunday, June 16th!

Let’s get started:

Father’s Day Gifts for Outdoorsy Dads

With Father’s Day coming up quickly, now is the time to jump on any of these outdoorsmen gift ideas that seem right for your dad. While these gift ideas are both new and timeless, if it turns out you need some classics, check out our more in-depth Outdoor Gifts for Men guide.

Free Fly Vintage Camo Bamboo Lightweight Hoodie

The new Free Fly Vintage Camo Bamboo Lightweight Hoodie is perfect for dads who love sunshine and adventure. While most any lightweight UPF-rated sun-blocking shirt is a great gift idea, we are all-in fans of Free Fly’s sweet Vintage Camo pattern. It delivers an outstanding outdoorsy vibe without making you look like a modern hunter. And the bamboo as a material for shirts? Surprisingly soft.

Korkers Fish Mocs

The new Korkers Fish Moc Collection features vibrant artwork inspired by artist Derek DeYoung. The most notable Fish Moc feature is the many choices of fish art, including stylized brook trout, brown trout, bass, tarpon, dorado and more. But these Korkers are also made to be worn outside on slick boat decks, docks and rocks. Your dad will get great traction through the grippy new Korkers Kling-On Deck rubber soles.

 

High Camp Firelight Flask 750

The High Camp Firelight Flask 750 is a new combo take on two classic outdoor bottles — a flask and a thermos. First, the Firelight Flask 750 is big. It’ll hold an entire 750ml bottle of whiskey or a bottle of wine. Better yet, not only is the capacity made for sharing, the whole design is, too. What’s really cool is the integration of two tumblers that magnetically attach to the flask, so you can pour drinks for two. The interior is electropolished kitchen-grade stainless steel, which means you can add any drink and it won’t affect the flavor. As for the thermos part, the vacuum insulated walls will keep coffee hot and margaritas cold.

If you act fast, you can even get it personalized with engraving for your dad, making it one of our favorite customized outdoor gifts for Father’s Day this year. High Camp says it can engrave and ship within 3 days!

White Duck Outdoors Filios Messenger Bag

White Duck Outdoors makes some awesome cotton canvas tents — including the White Duck Regatta Bell Tent I reviewed here — but that’s not all. White Duck has been expanding its line of canvas products to include duffels, bags, tarps and even pants. Our favorite for Father’s Day, however, is the Filios Messenger Bag. This astoundingly affordable 100% tightly woven cotton bag delivers a classic look with storage pockets ready for modern needs and devices.

Darn Tough Socks

I’m a big fan of most any Darn Tough sock with merino wool. Not only are they made in America and come with a lifetime warranty, they’re comfortable and built to last. For Father’s Day, you have a few new cool options. For a single pair, check out the Close Encounters Micro Crew Midweight Hiking Socks. They feature a fun Loch Ness sort of lake monster as well as a bigfoot figure clinking bottles with an alien. If that’s not your dad’s vibe, try the best selling Men’s Hike Micro Crew 3-Pack.

Kane Revive Shoes

The Kane Revive Active Recovery Shoes are something special. For starters, unlike Crocs, the Kane Revive shoes are far more athletic and agile than your typical clog-style foam shoes. You can wear the Kanes with or without socks and they provide an airy, solid ride for wearing after hard hikes or workouts. And yes, they are light enough to take backpacking as camp shoes. But wait, there’s more: The Kane Revive is a surprisingly great water shoe. I’ve worn mine while whitewater rafting, kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding. I scramble around rocky shores with ease in my Kane Revives. For active dads, the Kane Revive is one of the best outdoor gifts for Father’s Day — and pretty much any day. Highly versatile and highly recommended. Read my full in-depth Kane Revive review for more detail.

Gerber Assert

Gerber Gear is a having a Father’s Day sale on knives and multitools. While there are many great options for outdoor dads, the Gerber Assert is one of the best new lightweight EDC folders we’ve seen this year. It weighs in at just 1.87 oz, making it light enough to take backpacking or clip into a pair of shorts without weighing them down.

RUX Soft Cooler Bag

Last year, the waterproof 25-liter RUX Tote Bag caught our attention and earned an in-depth review. This year RUX is at it again with a new RUX Soft Cooler Bag. It’s basically a simple, rugged soft cooler bag. What makes it special? It doesn’t look like a typical zippered soft cooler. We’re fans of its no-fuss vibe. Plus, the Orange color option is hot. Of course, you could also explore RUX and consider the company’s innovative line of soft-sided storage compartments and bags. If your dad likes his new RUX, you can add to his RUX collection a bit each year.

Engel 60QT UltraLite Cooler

I’m a big fan of ultra-rugged rotomolded coolers, including the Engel High Performance Had Cooler I reviewed here. However, I’m not a fan of the how heavy rotomolded coolers are, especially after I load them up with ice and drinks. Sure, going with a wheeled cooler is a great option . . . but what if you want a rugged cooler and you don’t want wheels? Enter the new Engel 60QT UltraLite Injection-Molded Cooler. This bad boy comes with a wire basket and a divider. More importantly, it delivers a weekend-ready 60-quart capacity yet weighs in at only 21.5 pounds! It won’t be quite as rugged as a rotomolded cooler, but we’re splitting hairs here — ENGEL still gives it a 5-year warranty because it’s built to last.

 

KÜHL PERSUADR Shirt

I first came to appreciate KÜHL for the company’s innovative and comfortable pants. Over the years, though, KÜHL has been consistently delivering high-quality, classy outdoor apparel for both men and women. If your dad needs to up his backyard get-together game with a shirt that’s also nice enough to wear in public, check out the KÜHL PERSUADR.

Nemo Double Haul Bag, Pack and Tote!

The new Nemo Double Haul combo duffel bag, backpack and tote bag is ridiculously versatile. The overall design is simply outstanding. In fact, this new bag is so good you’ll probably buy one for both your dad and your mom and then get one for yourself, too. So what is the Double Haul? At its heart, it’s a rugged, feature-packed adventure duffel with backpack straps. So far so good, but great adventure duffels with backpack straps are nothing new. What sets the Nemo Double Haul apart? Answer: A tote bag mode! By deploying the hidden tote bag straps and lifting the sides, you can increase the carrying capacity by up to 33%. Nemo makes the Double Haul in four size options, 30L, 55L, 70L and 100L. The 30L version is carryon approved for airline travel.

PARKIT Vintage Camo Voyager Chair

Remember the Free Fly Vintage Camo shirt at the beginning of this list of outdoor gifts for Father’s Day? We’re capping this guide off with a return to that awesome Vintage Camo pattern. Free Fly Apparel teamed up with PARKIT to create a modern classic that’s ready for the beach, BBQ or backcountry camping spot. The Vintage Camo Voyager Chair is rugged, as expected, and comes with PARKIT’s detachable cooler/snack pack. More importantly, the Free Fly Vintage Camo color option is just too awesome to ignore.
