Do you have an adventurer in your life that has a never-ending stash of outdoor gear? You probably think they can’t possibly need anything else, or you might be out of ideas of what to get for them. Just remember one thing. There’s never enough outdoor gear to cycle through for someone who loves the outdoors. Here are some ideas for you to think about when buying for that thrill-seeker.
Title 9 Clamber Shorts
The Title 9 Clamber Shorts for women have got to be some of the most comfortable shorts. These rugged, yet stylish, shorts are ready for hiking, trekking, climbing, or whatever your choice of adventure might be. They’re made of ClambR™, which is 93% nylon and 7% spandex with DWR. They have pockets on the leg, two front, and two zippered back pockets. The shorts are mid-rise with an elastic waist and have a snap closure.
The durability of these shorts proved to be versatile as they were worn mountain biking and climbing. The Clamber shorts came out unscathed after smearing up a granite wall, and the movement in these shorts was fantastic. The shorts are true to size, and they come in five different colors. There is a 5-inch and 13-inch length, and they retail at $65 and $69.
Sherpa Adventure Gear Rolpa Full Zip Fleece Jacket
Sherpa Adventure Gear’s Rolpa Full Zip Fleece Jacket is one of those that when you put it on, you don’t want to take it off. The jacket is made of 100 wt. two-sided brushed anti-pill fleece made of 100% polyester, and it’s the lighter-weight version of the award-winning Sonam. The detailing surrounding the zipper is Nepal inspired and just beautiful. The Rolpa has two hand warmer pockets that zip shut to secure your essentials. It doesn’t cause chaffing under pack straps as seams are placed away from the should tops and hips.
This jacket was perfect for the Utah weather we had at the beginning and mid-part of November this year. It was great for some day hikes and kept the warmth in very nicely. This will also be a great baselayer for some ice climbing and snowshoeing for the wintertime. If you purchase any item from Sherpa Adventure Gear, education and resources are provided for children in Nepal for the entirety of their education; elementary through college. You know your money would be well-spent. The Rolpa Fleece Jacket retails at $60.00.
