Next time you tell that outdoorsy friend or family member to take a hike, make sure they head into the great outside equipped enough to enjoy it. In this guide, we have more than two dozen gift recommendations ranging from a titanium French press to a wool hat woven in Kathmandu. Our Gear team has tested everything on this list in the past few years.

Check our outdoor gear guides for more ideas, like Hiking 101, Best Bike Accessories, Best Tents, Best Barefoot Shoes, and Best Climbing Gear for Beginners.

Updated November 2023: We’ve added many new items, including bike liner shorts, a charcoal grill, a titanium French press, and more. We’ve also updated pricing and availability.
