Gifts for Father’s Day
Looking for ideas for your outdoor enthusiast Dad? Look no further, here are a half-dozen suggestions – ranging from $20 to $200 – for the guy who loves to get outside.
Kelty LumaPivot Lantern
When I first saw the photos, I wasn’t quite sure what to make of Kelty’s LumaPivot. It’s one of the most unusual looking outdoor lighting products around. Turns out, it’s also one of the most practical and versatile. See full review.
About $25.
Patagonia Rock Guide Shorts
Outstanding lightweight stretch fabric, these softshell shorts have all the quality construction you expect from Patagonia. There are four pockets – one rear wallet, two slash hand and one of the right thigh for extra carrying capacity.
About $70.
Mountain Hardwear Geist Jacket
One of the lightest running jackets on the market, the Mountain Hardwear Geist doesn’t skimp on features. It packs down to the size of a baseball and still has plenty of pockets, vents and just enough heft to keep the chill off during shoulder season runs and hikes. See full review.
About $100.
Gargoyle Balance Sunglasses
Metallic Gargoyle logo, aggressive looks and outdoor sport-specific features. The Gargoyle Balance sunglasses have lenses of shatter-resistant ballistic-grade polycarbonate. The temples include rubber tips to keep the glasses from sliding off your face. There are multiple lens options too. See full review.
About $125.
Suunto M4 Fitness Watch
Suunto is one of the top brands in active and fitness timepieces. The Suunto M4 will allow Dad to set his fitness goals then provides instructions on workout duration and intensity. It has a built-in heart rate monitor and ties to Suunto’s Movescount website for fitness tracking. See full review.
About $150.
L.L. Bean Double L Fly Rod
Great medium action fly rod for a value price. I had the chance to cast the 7 foot, 6 inch four weight rod recently and was very impressed with the rod’s light touch and quality construction. Comes in a good looking brass accessorized rod tube.
About $200.
