Dakine Split Roller 110L Gear Bag
Have you ever had a trip you’re planning where the amount of gear required is borderline overwhelming? The Dakine Split Roller 110L Gear Bag is designed for those gear-heavy missions that require a serious amount of space. At 110 liters, this roller is massive. Ski clothes for the whole family, multisport gear, or enough neoprene to clothe you and your friends are all fair game to fit into the Dakine Split Roller.
The bag features a split-level system that keeps everything within reach without turning the bag into chaos. The patented Split-Wing Collapsible Brace holds the bag upright and stable while you dig through it, then folds flat for compact storage when you unpack. There are also interior mesh dividers that maintain visibility across both main compartments, and a dedicated boot and dirty clothes compartment that keeps the rest of your gear clean and separate for your entire adventure.

Buy NowRumpl Wrap Sack 20° Sleeping Bag
Not much has changed in sleeping bag silhouette design in the last few decades. We have standard, high-tech sub-zero mummy bags, but most adventures don’t require that much warmth. Rumpl takes a different approach to sleep systems. Instead of relying on traditional mummy-style construction, the Rumpl Wrap Sack 20° sleeping bag delivers a 20° rating with a comfortable layering system for temperature regulation, letting you choose your comfort setting.
This three-season sleeping bag was inspired by blanketing layers, which are less constricting than a mummy bag. Customize your temp rating by using two layers for a comfort rating of 30°F (-1°C) and a lower limit rating of 20°F (-6°C), or use one layer for a comfort rating of 45°F (7°C) and a lower limit of 35°F (2°C). The Rumpl Sleep system is easily packable and a great option for the camper in your life who could use some better sleep. Check out more of our favorite sleeping bags here.
Buy NowDarn Tough Hiker Micro Crew Cushion Socks
Foot health and comfort are paramount on the trail. Good socks make a difference when you’re 10 miles into the day, and it’s raining. Quality socks don’t just keep you comfortable; they prevent blisters, regulate heat, and keep your feet dry.
Darn Tough Socks are just that. They’re made to last and perform on the trail. Darn Tough uses shrink-treated merino wool to enhance comfort and durability on any outdoor adventure. Merino wool wicks away moisture and breathes to regulate temperature. The mid-level cushion is ideal for trail support, and the reinforced heels and toes help keep you blister-free. If you’re looking for an easy stocking stuffer or a gift for the hiker in your life, start with socks.
Buy NowDanner Logger Moc 917 GTX
Danner’s a top brand when it comes to footwear for hiking and the outdoors, with a wide variety of options ranging from work and tactical-style boots to stylish footwear made for the city.
The Logger Moc 917 GTX bridges that gap expertly. The leather upper and GTX liner repel water and mud with ease, and the classic moccasin toe is not only insanely comfortable, but stylish, too. A Vibram sole completes the deal, and the entire package is recraftable, meaning that from soles to uppers, the Danner team is equipped to make your boots as good as new after years of use inevitably wear them down.
