Adirondack Hiker’s Gift Guide 2016
Have an avid hiker on your holiday gift list this year? Check this out! I love reading gift guides, so I finally decided to make my own!
- Big Agnes 15 Degree Down Sleeping Bag – this sleeping bag looks perfect for cold weather camping and should definitely keep you warm and cozy in your tent.
- LAMO Footwear Suede Sheepskin Fleece Lining Slippers – there’s nothing like slipping your feet into warm fuzzy slippers for the drive home after a winter hike.
- Pistil Clara Visor Beanie – I have a beanie very similar to this one and I love it
- Adventure Medical Emergency Bivvy – keeping one of these bivvys in your hiking pack is a must for anyone hiking in the high peaks. I got one as a gift a few years back!
- Mountain Landscape Necklace – Etsy is a great place to find unique jewelry for that hiking lady in your life. *coughcough*
- Adirondack Peaks Plaque Burl – With a customizable summit marker, this would make a great gift for someone finishing the 46!
- Sea to Summit DryLite Antibacterial Towel – these towels are amazing for camping. They pack down small and are super absorbent and dry quickly!
- Stanley Adventure Stainless Steel Food Jar – these are great for keeping food hot! Enjoying a hot meal on a cold summit definitely warms the soul.
- Moutain Hardware Snowpass Scarf – fleece infinity scarf. Enough said!
- REI Revel Cloud Vest – an extra layer of insulation in the high peaks is always a good idea.
- Jetboil MinMo Cooking System – a stove is a must for winter hiking and year-round backpacking. I have a jetboil and it is amazing–it boils water in a flash.
- Smartwool PhD Outdoor Mountaineer Socks – every hiker loves getting a good pair of wool socks, just sayin’.
- Marmot Fuzzy Wuzzy Glove – keeping hands warm is key during a cold hike–these gloves look like they’d do the job.
Note: I’m not affiliated with any of the above companies, but I have purchased many similar items and highly recommend them.

Thanks for the list. I think the Jetboil MinMo is going to end up on my Christmas list!

I have the MiniMo Cooking System, this cooking system is designed to boil water with the lid on to make the boiling process more efficient. The lid will not melt if used when boiling water.

Great list! People who don’t hike have no idea how much better hiking can be if you have mountaineer socks on.
