19 outdoorsy Father’s Day gifts for the dad who loves a wilderness adventure

If your dad is less “couch potato” and more “weekend warrior,” then regular presents just won’t cut it. Consider these outdoorsy Father’s Day gifts instead — they’re sure to delight him, not to mention compliment his active lifestyle.

Two water bottles

Atmosphere

Leakproof and BPA-free, this classic water bottle is the perfect accompaniment to any outdoor adventure — and it can go through the dishwasher afterward. The wide mouth was made to accommodate ice cubes or fruit infusions, but you can also turn the bottle into a handy emergency kit for Dad by filling it with supplies like bandages, antibacterial ointment, antiseptic wipes, sunscreen, medical gloves, water purification tablets, and matches.

Golfing smartwatch

Harry Rosen

This stylish smartwatch easily goes from the links to the boardroom and back again. It can function as a virtual caddie, suggesting a club based on factors such as wind speed, wind direction, and Dad’s typical swing using a specific club. It comes preloaded with over 43,000 maps of golf courses from around the globe (Dad can download updates from his favourites) and shows helpful details like hazards, green shape, and green contour data to help sink putts. It can also play music, make contactless payments, and track health info like heart rate, stress level, and sleep quality.

Pair of hiking sneakers

Sorel

Part hiking boot, part sneaker, and all waterproof, this modern shoe from born-in-Canada brand Sorel has a low profile but a high style factor. It’s perfectly suited to all types of outdoor activities.
