Gifts for the Active Adventurer

Looking for the pefect gift for the person always on the go. You can't go wrong with a Hydroflask flip mug, BUFF and Petzl pocket knife. If they dig the white stuff give them a pair of Tubbs snowshoes, a Swix waxing iron or wax. It's always wonderful to get something you will actually use!
