It’s that time of year to start Christmas shopping for friends and family who love to recreate in the outdoors (really we are the easiest to shop for.) From boots, to jackets, tech pants and even coffee, you can’t go wrong with the 2019 holiday gift guide featured below.
KLYMIT DRIFT CAMPING PILLOW
New from Utah-based Klymit, the makers of innovative, lightweight camping gear, comes a new take on a pillow. The Drift Camping Pillow is an actual pillow like you would use at home. So how is it different?
The pillow has a durable, water resistant, technical outer shell so it won’t get dirty while traveling. Then at night when you’re ready for bed, the pillow goes “inside-out” from technical shell to a soft jersey cotton pillow case. Shredded memory foam gives unparalleled comfort and support. This may be the most luxurious camping pillow on the market. MSRP: $39.95
KLYMIT VERSA LUXE CAMPING BLANKET
Also new from Klymit is the Versa Luxe Blanket. A luxurious take on the original Luxe Blanket, this new version is lined with a high-loft fleece. The blanket can also be folded into its foot box to make a pillow. This blanket is also humongous – big enough to completely engulf a one person, or share with a loved one. Other features include corner snaps, a cinch cord, foot box and hand pockets. If your holiday shopping list includes someone who is always cold, this blanket is the perfect gift. MSRP $119.95
