More than a gift
Sunrise coffee in a sleeping bag. The freshest air and the views that make your heart skip. Belly laughs around a fire. These are the things that truly fill our (titanium) cups. The things we treasure most, the gifts we really want, don’t fit in a box. But our gift guide comes close. We curated the perfect picks for all the outdoorspeople in your life. When they open your gift, they’ll know what you’re really giving them: something that doesn’t come in a box.
For the Gearhead Who Has Everything
Need to shop for someone who spends all their time reading gear reviews, watching gear reviews, commenting on gear review threads and buying gear? We got you.
SHOP ALL
Stake Hammer
We can almost guarantee your family gearhead doesn’t own one of these. Sometimes dismissed because it’s “just a hammer” and “why wouldn’t I just use a rock”, this impeccably crafted, perfectly weighted little tool is actually a three-fer: stake hammer, bottle opener and cat-hole digger. Still not sold? Check out the reviews.
Changing Poncho
We get that modesty isn’t everyone’s first priority, but this convenient changing poncho doubles as a quick-drying towel which means A. they don’t also have to pack a towel, and B. they don’t have to figure out how to wrap a towel around themselves without putting on a show. Win-win.
PlatyPreserve™
A backcountry wine bottle? Really? Yes, really. If your gearhead is also a wine afficionado, they’ll be delighted to have an ultralight way to enjoy their preferred vintage at an altitude that will make it, ahem, even more effective, in a container that will preserve its particular terroir.
Alpine™ Salt & Pepper Shaker
Whether they’re a cold soaker, only boil water, or a Top Backcountry Chef contestant, everyone benefits from a little extra spice. Two-sided to pack their preferred seasonings, this ultralight kitchen essential makes every al fresco dish that much better. It’s so light you should get them two: one for salt and pepper and the other for their imagination.
For Camping Kiddos
We know where the wild things are: they're out camping! Feed your kiddo's wild spirit with these fun campsite favorites. (Excellent parenting, btw!)
SHOP ALL
Honcho Poncho™ Kids
This pint-sized poncho will keep little ones warm, cozy and feeling like superheroes in their insulated capes. It’s perfect for everything from enduring siblings’ sports games to making s’mores. Pro tip: Have a munchkin who never wants to wear a restrictive jacket? Outfit solved. It’s also naptime-ready, with snaps that transform it into a blanket and back.
Elixir™ 4 Backpacking Tent
Pillow forts got nothing on this tent, which will feel like a campsite palace to your petite hikers. With plenty of room for the whole family, the Elixir 4 can pull double duty as a car camping or backpacking tent. It’s made for durable, reliable performance so you don’t have to worry if a pillow fight breaks out or if your weekend get a little rainy.
Compressible Pillow Cinch
Some people consider pillows a luxury item, but we know better. Your kiddo will sleep soundly with this comfy, cushy foam pillow beneath their little head. They’ll love the fun prints and squishing the foam to pack it away for the day. Better get a few, you’ll want to steal theirs once you try it for yourself!
Night Glow Zipper Pulls
Bring a little magic and ease to camp bedtime with some glowing zipper pulls. Charged by sunlight, these small but mighty tent add-ons make it easier for young campers to find their way in and out at bedtime and when nature calls. Plus, they’re just good fun! (To be honest, these are pretty great even if you only have people who are young at heart in camp.)
For That Old-School Cool
Ultralight might be trendy, but these folks know that classic gear will still be kicking decades from now. Plus, it just looks cooler. They'll like this stuff.
SHOP ALL
MSR® Fuel Bottles
Nothing conjures up images of hikers in jean shorts and external frame packs quite like an old-school MSR fuel bottle. Though canister stoves have long since become most backpackers’ stove of choice, the real ones know liquid fuel will be going strong long after those non-refillable canisters kick the proverbial bucket.
RidgeRest® Classic Sleeping Pad
This roll-up, closed-cell foam pad is so iconically old-school, Backpacker magazine named it one of the 10 best backpacking gear designs in its 1987 awards issue. The RidgeRest continues to be the bomb-proof, no-frills choice of retro gram-counters everywhere. If your favorite crusty hiker already owns one, let’s be honest, it’s probably from the 80’s and could use a refresh!
WhisperLite™ Stove
Side-eyed by newbies and beloved by those in the know, liquid-fuel stoves are the tried and true, and the WhisperLite is a classic for a reason. We literally have a blog article titled “My MSR Backpacking Stove Belongs in My Estate Planning”, an ode to the author’s beloved WhisperLite that’s been running strong for decades. It truly doesn’t get old-school cooler than this.
Alpine™ Fry Pan
Know someone who’d bring a stainless-steel fry pan into the backcountry? This is the fry pan for them. Perfect for cooking up a mess of trout or that pound of bacon they packed in, this high-sided skillet is as bomber as the person you’re buying it for. They may even end up using it at home; we all know they cook with their liquid-fuel stove there too.
For Sunrise Caffeine
Certain people know caffeine tastes best as the first light appears over the wild eastern horizon. Whatever their brew of choice, here's what to get them.
SHOP ALL
Titan™ Double Wall Mug
Nothing is sadder than setting your alarm with enough time to brew some caffeine and watch the sun rise only to realize your drink is already going cold in your crappy single wall cup. Save your loved ones from this terrible fate with the titanium Titan Double Wall Mug which is perfect for backpacking because, unlike most double wall vessels, it’s actually ultralight.
Pika™ Teapot
An ultralight teapot might seem a little silly, but believe it or not, this is one of our best-selling products, not to mention an award-winner. Perfect for that precise backcountry pour-over or aiming boiling water into a meal bag, the Pika will win your giftee over faster than its adorable namesake.
MugMate™ Coffee/Tea Filter
If your giftee refuses to compromise on the quality of their caffeine just because they’re outside, the MugMate is for them. Whether they prefer loose-leaf tea or single-origin coffee, the superfine mesh allows their cuppa to brew perfectly. The lid keeps heat in while brewing and is a strainer stand when the timer is up. The MugMate may even become their preferred at-home method.
Switch™ Stove System
For a superior caffeine-making setup, may we recommend the Switch stove? Your favorite backcountry coffee/tea fiend will love the efficient system design paired with the versatility to use either the included pot or their Pika kettle. When you don’t have to choose between quickly boiling water and being able to cook real food, everything seems a little brighter.
