Arc'teryx Kyanite Hoody

Need a hardworking midlayer? Take a look at the Kyanite Hoody from Arc’teryx. With an abrasion-resistant outer and four-way-stretch fabric construction, this hoodie is built to move with you. The low-profile ScubaHood provides extra warmth while fitting under a helmet, and the gusseted underarms prevent overheating. It’s great on its own or layered under a shell.

Energy Bionics Carbon 1.5 Solar Powered Watch

This isn’t just a watch — it’s a wrist-bound solar receiver that stores power to charge other electronics, like your phone. It’s more portable than a battery cell and, oh yeah, it tells time, too. According to the brand, “The purpose of this technology is to provide robust energy harvesting and internet of things (IoT) connectivity in a wearable form.” It could make a great gift for the trendsetter in your life, or get one for yourself. You can order the Carbon 1.5 Solar Powered Watch now.

Stay warm and dry with the Patagonia Capilene Air Hoody. The 3D knit structure keeps you comfortable through a wide range of temperatures, and the seamless construction means no annoying chafing.

The Solstice XT from Altra is a solid cross-trainer that works well for lifting, running, and more. Like all Altras, it has the FootShape toebox that allows your feet to splay out during activity, which is both comfy and more natural-feeling.

Black Diamond Shell

This jacket pairs waterproof-breathable technology (dubbed “BD.dry”) with a lightweight design (just 8 ounces for a men’s size medium). As our tester noted, “It works best for three-season rock climbing, backpacking, and aerobic sports. It’s not the lightest rain shell on the market, but the excellent mobility and price make it a top choice for that one jacket that never leaves the pack.”

NordicTrack RW900 Row Machine

Train for your next adventure and work out smarter with the NordicTrack RW900 Rower. With 26 digital resistance levels, you can make it as challenging or mellow as needed. When combined with iFit, you get access to an immersive, fully connected library of workouts hosted by premiere athletes and instructors. And the 22-inch, rotating touchscreen makes it easy to combine off-the-rower training movements as part of your workouts.

The RW900 and iFit are your keys to unlocking full-body fitness this Holiday season. And when it’s not in use, take advantage of the folding design and easily move the Rower.

It’s dishwasher-safe and made with stainless steel, so there should be no worries about rust. Plus, it comes in 11 rad colors to match your style.

Danner Mountain Light Cascade Boots

The Mountain Light Cascade is one of Danner’s most recognizable boots on the trail. Designed with a one-piece leather upper, the boots provide protection from the elements while maintaining their style. The Vibram Kletterlift outsole is made for defense against wet conditions, and the Dri-Lex liner allows your feet to breathe in warm weather. Red laces and the Danner recrafting program ensure these boots are ready for whatever adventure lies ahead.

One of our favorites, this little hexagonal speaker kicks out 95 decibels and features a handy clip to attach it to your messenger bag or backpack.

As our tester reported, “Altogether, the setup feels like home: warm, spacious, and comfortable.”

Help the outdoorsy people in your life discover the latest gear with a Cairn subscription. Each month, Cairn will send you a box full of useful and ever-changing gear. From camp lights to trail snacks, you never know what you’ll get. And that’s half the fun. As our tester noted, “They don’t contain old, dated products. GearJunkie has based several reviews on products first discovered through Cairn boxes, and the brand touts that its recent shipments contained first-to-market exclusives.”

Saucony Peregrine 10 GTX Trail Running Shoes

We’ve been using these trail runners for 8 months and have come to appreciate the comfort, traction, and waterproofing of these shoes. The new GORE-TEX Invisible Fit offers a bomber waterproof membrane so they’re great for winter slush and rainy runs alike.

Peak Design Everyday Camera Messenger Bag 2.0

This adaptable messenger bag is perfect for the photographer, commuter, or traveler in your life. The partitioned interior holds a complete DSLR setup, and the weatherproof, padded exterior keeps everything dry and protected. The side pockets allow for easy access, and the adjustable strap makes carrying heavy loads a cinch. Our favorite part, though, is the magnetic clasp and ladder closure system.

Available in a variety of finishes, from carbon fiber to titanium to gold, there’s a style for everyone.

A scaled-down version of the traditional voyageur pack, the Scout adds a North Woods aesthetic to workaday tasks like commuting to work or biking to school. Made in the USA (in its namesake Duluth, Minn.), this basic canvas backpack includes buckles, leather, and riveted reinforcements to make it “a multi-generational heirloom,” as Duluth Pack puts it.

Salewa Wildfire Technical Approach Shoe

The Wildfire is described by Salewa as a technical approach shoe. The Wildfires are equipped with a versatile POMOCA sole for grip, traction, and sure-footed climbing precision on technical mountain approaches, scrambles, traverses, and easy climbs. A breathable mesh lining provides relief on warm days, and a breathable OrthoLite footbed provides cushioning and wicks away moisture. We hiked to the Lower Saddle and climbed a portion of the Grand Teton in these shoes and loved every minute!
