Ortovox Merino Wool Pro Headband

Help Her Enjoy A Whole New Level Of Outdoor Comfort

Nothing is worse than a scratchy headband. Which is why I love the Ortovox Pro Headband.

If you don’t know who Otrovox is, they are mountain safety pioneers that have been in the business of saving lives since 1980. Today I recommend their “Pro Headband.” I own about a five Otrovox headbands and use them daily. These headbands are the best because they really keep my bangs out of my face when hiking and climbing (even in the windiest conditions). It’s ultra-soft due to the 100% merino wool and natural beech wood fiber inner layer.

I like that this headband is performance focused so its stretchy and stays put, but won’t hurt my head. The Ortovox Pro headband offers superior moisture wicking capability in the sweatiest environments. It’s a great option for under $50.

SUUNTO M-3 NH Compass

Always Find The Right Direction

Know somebody new into orienteering or just prone to getting lost? Get them the Suunto M-3 NH Compass, it’s a great starter model.

This is a perfect compass to use with a paper map such as when you are orienteering or hiking. I found that the Suunto’s declination adjustment was both easier to manage and read. I also like the easy adjustment to magnetic North declination, no math needed! The flat shape is easier to pack and more durable than folding compasses in the same price range. Plus you can rest assured, it has everything she needs to navigate for basic navigation. Including the previous mentioned declination screw, but also grid lines, and luminescent dial.

With a quality map and this compass, your outdoorsy girl will know which direction to take in any adventure.

I use this dry bag in tons of situation when outdoors. Most of the time I’m strapping it to the front of my kayak or stashing it inside my backpack. This 10 Liter sack holds everything I need to keep dry, like my jacket, extra layers, camera, iphone, house keys etc. It’s been a life saver during spring and summer flash storms that dump a lot of rain in a short period of time. Another great use for it is to help organize and reduce the size of the contents of my pack.

Ask yourself, why wouldn’t she want the assurance of waterproofing, plus the added organization to her pack? The graphic is rad too!

OneTigris Mammoth Dog Backpack

Have an outdoorsy girl that loves to hike with her dog?

Then I have the perfect gift idea for you, this awesome dog backpack!

Without fail, every time I start to pack up my OneTigris Mammoth dog-pack, my dog Oliver races to the door wagging his tail. This is the only indication I need that he is a fan of this dog backpack! Having my dogs approval is why I recommend this dog hiking backpack, plus it is very well made. This one in particular is for medium to large size dogs (my Oliver is a German Sheppard).

Made of cotton and canvas with 3 adjustable straps it will be comfortable for your pooch. Likewise it has two good sized zippered compartments on each side. So I have more than enough room for carrying all my essential dog hike ear. All things considered this backpack will hold up in the washing machine and is durable too.

Friction Labs Secret Stuff Liquid Chalk

Does She Love Bouldering?

If so, choose a bottle of Friction Labs “Secret Stuff” Liquid Chalk.

I haven’t personally use this but my sister-in-law freaking loves the “Secret Stuff” chalk. She raves about how it quickly dries and that it even prevents her hands from sweating. It really sticks well and doesn’t smell! Plus, it’s much less messy than traditional chalk. But I should note, this is best used for light bouldering (40-70 feet) or indoor gyms. For big time climbing both she and I use high-quality regular chalk.

So if you need a gift that will absolutely become a part of her climbing kit, pick this liquid climbing chalk.

Hydro Flask 24 oz Insulated Water Bottle

Help Her Keep Hydrated Outdoors.

To help keep myself hydrated I use a HydroFlask 24 oz insulated water bottle.

This bottle is simply amazing, no joke, my water stays cold all day. It’s double-walled with vacuum insulation to ensure that liquids stay hot or cold for 24 hours. The bottle is BPA, phthalate, and toxin-free so you know it is safe to use. Plus it has a slip-free, sweat free power coating. It measures 11 inches tall with the lid on and will fit most vehicle cup holders too.

I like this “fog” colored one, because it’s neutral and goes with everything. But don’t worry, they come in many different colors to suit everyone’s tastes.

UBeesize Flexible Cell Phone Tripod

The Gift For The Woman Who Hates “Selfie Sticks”

I don’t know about you but I am terrible at getting the perfect angle with my phone. To fix this I use the UbeeZee Tripod.

My selfies use to never turn out how I imagined them, until now, these days my pictures are awesome. This tripod is amazing because its legs can bend and grip on all types of surfaces. I like that I can easily set it up on uneven rocks or around a branch to take a picture. Plus it has dual mounting options for a smart phone, either horizontal or vertical. Another awesome bonus is that it comes with a wireless remote to take the best outdoor selfies.

Black Diamond Women's Momentum Climbing Shoe

The Gift For The Woman New To Climbing

Buy her a pair a great entry-level climbing shoes from Black Diamond.

When I started climbing I bought these and they were great. I appreciate that the tight-knit upper is breathable, this meant my sweaty feet kept cool and dry. The pull-tabs on the back help to slide these on and the Velcro straps make it easy to adjust the fit. The soles have a nice level of stickiness, she should feel secure and confident while smearing. Also when edging she won’t have any trouble. One thing to keep in mind, these run about one size small compared to a running shoe. Unless she has wider feet, she may have to size up.

Bottom line: The Black Diamond Momentum climbing shoes are great for any new climber due to their price point, fit and performance.

Fjallraven Kanken Classic Backpack

Pick A Classic Outdoorsy Girl Gift

The Fjallraven Kanken is a favorite everyday pack for the women at Outdoors Informed.

Did you know that the Swedish company Fjallraven has been around since 1960? Likewise they have made the KanKen since 1978! This is an iconic heritage design that has gained massive popularity in America. We love that it comes in tons of colors, is dirt-resistant, water-resistant, and wipes clean.

The bag holds a surprising amount of stuff inside (16 liter volume) and only weighs 0.7 pounds. Each pack comes with two-way zippers that have rain flaps for protection. What is great though is the zipper comes all the way down on the sides, no more digging for items!

TETON Sports ALTOS-S Ultra-Light Sleeping Bag

Perfect Gift For Women Who Love Ultra-Light Backpacking

Who doesn’t love a quality night’s sleep? For a comfortable and warm sleep the Teton Altos-S is a great lightweight choice.

I can’t stress enough how much a warm ultra-light sleeping bag contribute to my adventures. Without proper sleep the next day my decisions can be potentially hazardous. So having the Teton Altos-S sleeping bag has been great for keeping me safe and warm throughout the night. I use it in early spring, to early autumn and it’s definitely water resistant.

A big benefit of this bag is the use of the Spectrum S natural fiber. This internal insulation will keep you warn even if it gets wet. I also like that the Altos-S packs relatively small and is decently light. Once I pull it out of it’s stuff sack it will loft up to proper amount in about an hour. Another feature is the handy zipper pocket inside which is great for storing my glasses (or cell phone). This sleeping bag is woman specific and will fit anyone under 6 feet tall.

This is a great “bang for your buck” gift for any adventurous woman.

North Face Aphrodite 2.0 Hiking Pant

Choose A Comfortable Pair Of Light Hiking Pants

While us adventurous women love serious gear, sometimes a comfy pair of light hiking pants is all we need. Which is why I recommend the North Face Aphrodite 2.0.

Let me start by saying these aren’t heavy-duty hiking pants, but for traveling or light day hikes in easy terrain, they are functional and comfortable. If you are new to trekking and hate the swish-swish sound of typical hiking pants you will like these. I like how fast the material drys after a day of use and the pockets are just deep enough to hold my phone and a small map. These pants are lightweight, breathable, stretchy so I can bend over without fear of exposure.

Like I mentioned earlier, don’t attempt to hike in heavy brush in these as they tend to snag. Otherwise, they are awesome for travel, taking my Dog Oliver on a walk or maybe gardening too.

Columbia Newton Ridge™ Hiking Boot

Ensure Her Feet Are Comfy & Supported When Hiking

What I wear on my feet is a crucial component to my safety and comfort for enjoying a steep hike. For my safety I love my Columbia Newton’s.

I love that these boots have amazing ankle support while also being very lightweight. Likewise they fit like a glove and are warm and comfy. When I trek on rocky trails I never feel discomfort from jagged rocks and I always have great traction. While I find the boots are “waterproof” for most activities, if I submerge them in water there is a bit of leakage. Since leather is a porous material I spray my boots with extra waterproofing spray. Another bonus is waterproofing spray is often stain proofing spray as well.

If black isn’t your style, no need to worry because they come in a range of attractive colors. Just a heads up, they fit true-to-size too.

Jetboil Flash Camping Stove

Give The Gift Of Hot Food On-The-Go

No matter what kind of adventure your outdoorsy girl enjoys it’s important to have hot food (and coffee!) to fuel her.

Nothing is better to help get a strenuous day started than a hot meal. Thus gifting a Jetboil flash stove will bring a smile to any outdoor lover. What I appreciate about this stove is that it’s lightweight, compact and easy to use.

Plus its name is completely true, this powerful stove can boil water in under 100 seconds! It holds up to 1 liter of fluid and comes with an insulated FluxRing cooking cup. Also the stove only weighs 13.9 ounces (0.86 pounds) and can use many fuel types. What I love is it has a push button ignition, this is great for windy conditions.

One thing to note though, often you won’t be able to transport fuel on airlines. So buy fuel canisters locally.

Hunter® Huntress Field Boot

Every Girl Loves A Pair Of Stylish Rain/Muck Around Boots

Whether I’m hiking, camping, or just mucking around outside in pouring down rain this is the one boot that actually fits my larger calves.

The Hunter Huntress Field boot is great for big calf ladies because it’s 3 inches shorter than their classic rain boots. Being shorter, the top of the boot fits your calf and won’t pinch when crouching. Moreover they are a breeze to get on and off. On me these boots sit about 2.5 inches below my knees and are very attractive looking. Like all Hunter boots they are also waterproof and very durable.

So if you need a gift that looks good and performs great for everyday outside tasks the Huntress Boot is a great choice.

LEATHERMAN - "The Signal" Camping Multi Tool

For The Outdoor Woman Who Likes To be Prepared

I love the satisfaction of having my Leatherman “signal” to start a fire at the end of a long day hiking. I imagine she will too!

No matter where I am I always have my multi-tool with me, either attached to my hip or my pack. I feel confident using this one because the spring isn’t too stiff which allows me to operate it with one hand. There is literally nothing I can’t do with it due all the tools, in fact there are 19 tools in total! I especially like the fire starter and bottle openers for a fun camping trip. Plus for my safety it’s nice to have an emergency whistle. For piece of mind, Leatherman provides a long 25 year warranty. So if it ever stops working she can have it replaced.

My husband was smart and bought us both our own multi-tool, just to keep everything fair.

GSI Pinnacle Dualist 2 Camping Cook Set

Practical Gift Idea For An Outdoorsy Girl

A great addition to a good outdoor stove is a high quality compact cook set.

While gifting a normal cook set may not be exciting, I know this one is. The new GSI Pinnacle Dualist is a feature packed cooking set for any adventurer. Another member of Outdoors Informed has this kit and these are her thoughts:

“I like that this cook set is very lightweight, multi-functional and durable. Food doesn’t stick to the pot and it’s super easy to clean. For backpacking you can pack it all down into itself and fit a large fuel canister as well. The only downside is the “spork” or “foon”, I wish it was a bit higher quality.”

Given these points, this is a high quality cook set. So if you have an outdoor lover looking for a compact and super practical gift then buy the Pinnacle Dualist 2.

Sea to Summit Ultra-Light Insulated Mat Sleeping Pad

Gift Her A “Home-Like” Sleep

While a sleeping bag is great for the outdoors, what really makes the difference for warmth and comfort is elevating a person off of the ground. To do this, I recommend choosing the Sea to Summit Insulated Mat.

This sleeping pad feels like a cross between an air pad and a self-inflating pad. Due to the air sprung cells which are individual inner air chambers which individually absorb pressure, conforming to the contours and movement of your body without affecting adjacent cells. As a side sleeper I love that my hip never hits the ground compared to previous sleeping pads I’ve tried. Another cool bonus is the stuff sack inflation pump that saves your breath and helps prevent bacteria from getting inside the pad. Also it packs down to about the size of 1.5 nalgene bottles and weighs in at 15.9 ounces, that’s amazing for ultra-light hiking!

All in all, it’s a great sleeping pad that offers soft comfort, packs small and takes about 2 minutes to inflate with little effort.

Osprey Tempest 30 Backpack

Is Your Outdoorsy Girl A Hiking Enthusiast?

Buy her a backpack (this one!), it’s an awesome option for any woman who adores trekking. I love the great fit of this backpack which is super easy to adjust as well as take on and off. The engineering and design that Osprey employs is nothing short of phenomenal.

This backpack has four great advantages for female users. First it has a woman-specific hip belt dispersing weight evenly (zero shoulder tug!). Second there are walking pole loops on either side to stash them away when not in use. Third is the handy pocket on the waist belt to hide money or your phone. Then fourth for a bike loving outdoorsy girl there is a LED bike light attachment point on the bag too.

Moreover it’s convenient due to the 30 liter size. Did you know it is often accepted on many airlines as carry-on luggage? Altogether this backpack is easy to pack/use and should be a durable favorite for a long time.

ALTRA Superior 4 Trail Running Shoe

Does She Love Natures Treadmill?

Grab a pair of the Altra Superior 4s, these are amazing shoes for crushing high miles.

If you own the older Superior model from Altra you will understand how awesome these trail running shoes are. The newest version is now lighter, has more grip and looks great. The uppers are a nice soft knit material and fit great. Especially for ladies with wide feet, if this sounds like you get ready for a slipper-like shoe. They are ultra light, and I feel great running on tons of different types of terrain. The cushioning is excellent for lessening the blow of jagged rocks without totally muting the feedback I need to navigate my next step. New for this model are the special lugs beneath my metatarsals which help me to excel at toe offs.

While this shoes is great for rocky and gravel trails where it lacks is rock slabs and wet/icy areas. They tend to slip which is a scary feel when ripping down a mountain trail so be warned.

Overall, if she is in dry climates and trekking over rock or gravel these are totally rad trail runners.

Arc'teryx Womens Gamma SL Hoody

Outdoorsy Girl Who Loves Trail Running Or Hiking?

Choose the Arc’teryx Gamma SL hoody.

This is the best “do-it-all” softshell hoody/jacket for day hiking or trail running. Or if you want to gift a great jacket for days around town it works great for this too. I appreciate that it is feminine looking enough to be able wear it to work or out for casual drinks at the brewery as well.

Keep in mind, this isn’t an insulated jacket but a high performance softshell hoody style weather breaker. Think of it like the Patagonia Houdini but thicker. I love that I can shove it into a backpack and go hiking or trail running, but rely on it to protect me if the weather changes throughout the day. The design and cut of the jacket is flattering while still meeting my athletic outdoor needs.

Since it’s thinner and lightweight it’s easy to roll it up and pack. Another bonus is the hood has simple adjustments and the pockets are high enough to use them even with a pack on.

You can’t go wrong with gifting an attractive and useful jacket for any outdoorsy girl.

What can I say other than it’s “IceBreaker” and merino wool.

The company are experts in crafting high quality washable, non itchy wool clothing. This particular top is a mid-weight 200gm merino wool mixed material with a hood. It has great pockets and reflective details for better nighttime visibility.

I love that it is so comfy when trekking alpine areas and even wicks sweat if your adventure is a workout. I wear mine even when not out on adventures, it is that comfortable.

Kindle Paperwhite - Now Waterproof With 2x Storage

If you have an outdoorsy girl who is also a book worm then this is a great gift.

While I know having electronics out in the wild is a bit of a no-no, I find lugging around books is too cumbersome. This is why I love the Kindle Paperwhite, it is easy to pack and now waterproof! So much so, if an accidental submersion happens that lasts up to 60 minutes, it will still work. That’s amazing! Another bonus is that this version has twice as much storage and great battery life too.
