Start planning your next adventure!
For the people in your life that just can’t get enough miles on the trail, runs down the mountain or nights spent under a star covered sky - get them what they really need to keep doing what they love this holiday season. We’ve compiled a list of gear to help you pick out the perfect equipment for your adventurous loved ones. Picture it now: a campfire blazing, the ORCA cooler stocked full with some tasty 10 Barrel Brewing IPAs while everyone rests in their GCI Kickback Rocker after a fun filled day. That’s just one of many scenarios this list will help to create.
Outdoor Research Deerskin Merino Work Gloves
This superbly fitting work glove is exceptionally warm without being bulky, thanks to a super-soft, odor-resistant merino liner paired with Outdoor Research’s AlpinWool, a warmer wool/polyester/nylon blend, on the back of the hand. Deerskin leather gets softer with use but has outstanding long-term durability. Details include a pre-curved design, touchscreen compatibility and an elasticized wrist.
Mountain Safety Research PocketRocket Deluxe Stove Kit
MSR’s premium stove kit takes ultralight adventures up a notch with deluxe features to enhance your cooking experience out on the trail. Sized for two but light enough for one, the kit comes equipped with MSR’s pressure-regulated, fast-boiling PocketRocket Deluxe stove that nests in the kit’s compact Trail Mini Duo Cook Set. Backpackers, bikepackers, and lightweight-seeking campers will love the stove’s push-start ignition, consistently fast boil times, and broad burner for versatile cooking and simmering. The included 1.2L pot is ideal for boiling water for two pouch meals or cups of coffee, while the included bowl adds a second eating or drinking vessel for sharing with your trail partner.

Outdoor Research Helium Down Hoodie
The Helium Down Jacket infuses ultra-durable Pertex Diamond Fuse fabrics into the lightweight puffy category, adding several degrees of burliness along with added weather protection to ultralight, packable warmth. On the hood, shoulder and upper sleeves, Outdoor Research uses Pertex Shield Diamond Fuse, a unique waterproof fabric with diamond-shaped filaments that lock together, offering five times the tear strength of the current fabric used in OR’s Helium shell. The rest of the jacket uses Pertex Diamond Fuse Ripstop, a more breathable fabric that is two times more abrasion resistant than the face fabric used in most down jackets. The interior is filled with premium RDS (Responsible Down Standard) 800+ fill goose down. This 15.4-ounce puffy fits the bill for durable, ultralight warmth throughout the year. There is also a Helium Down Jacket and Vest that employ Pertex Diamond Fuse Ripstop fabric throughout.

10 Barrel Brewing Nature Calls IPA
A Mountain IPA brewed for hitting the outdoors. The merger of two prominent IPA styles: West Coast IPA and East Coast Hazy IPA, Nature Calls delivers a smooth profile that consists of mango, tangerine and grapefruit. The brewers mixed the tropical fruitiness of their hazy with the piney juicy citrus of a traditional IPA, yielding 6.5% ABV and 55 IBUs. Building upon 10 Barrel’s #DrinkItForward Program, a portion of all Nature Calls proceeds will benefit The Conservation Alliance. Nature is most certainly calling on all of us now more than ever, and we’re trying to help in the best way we know how. Drinking beer outside!
