A real outdoorsman
You know him: he’d rather be in a forest hut than at brunch. He loves cold, mud, tools and fire. So don’t give him socks or perfume. Give these men something they can use outdoors and that they’ll be pleased to bring home. These are six gifts that actually work.
1. LifeStraw Go 2-Stage Water Filter Bottle
He keeps drinking, even when he’s miles from civilisation. Safe, reliable and proven.
2. Petromax Atago Wood and Charcoal Stove
A steel campfire stove that can handle anything. Grilling, cooking, keeping warm. No fuss, pure functionality.
3. Leatherman Wave Plus
The only gift an outdoorsman won’t put away. Opening tins, screwing, sawing, cutting. Done.
Men who are often outdoors and working will be absolutely delighted with this. We previously tested a Leatherman Wave Plus ourselves. Read the review here:
4. Stanley Classic Thermos 1.0L
Insulation you can rely on. Hot stays hot, cold stays cold. Survives every trip.
5. Olight Seeker 3 Pro Torch
A torch that cuts through darkness. Powerful, compact, rechargeable. Not rubbish, but a tool.
6. Fjällräven Barents Pro Trousers
His new uniform. Strong, windproof and made for rugged use. Suitable for forest, camp and winter.
✅Choose quality, not Christmas tat. An outdoorsman respects gear that works, not gear that shines.
Men want real gear
These gifts aren’t toys. They’re tools that perform when it’s cold, wet or difficult. Exactly what men who’d rather survive than celebrate Christmas appreciate.
