Gifts for All Types of Travelers

A partnership between one of our favorite phone accessory manufacturers and the Chicago-based leather company, this smart billfold will wear well into a beautiful patina.

This women’s-only work shirt is made from Organic cotton, and feels like your favorite shirt from day one. It’s a three-season solution for chilly air capable of carrying you from spring deep into the winter. Smart pockets for stashing items and an overbuilt shape make it on trend for the season.

A one-of-a-kind gift can mean many things. Take, for example, this custom-fitted set of swim goggles. Thanks to an app that scans your face, the resulting underwater specs are perfectly tailored to the topography of your temple, nose, bridge, and all that. 

Made from lightweight, rip-stop fabric, this simple carry-all is from one of our favorite Los Angeles clothing brands.

Lightweight and comfy, these shoes are meant as a minimalist travel shoe, as at home on the beach as they are under a dinner table. Sustainable construction and eco-friendly cork insoles make them naturally stink-resistant.

Another LA-based brand, Legends, makes silky smooth activewear in head-turning colors. Check out the psychedelica marble colorways. 

Comfy shorts shouldn’t cost an arm and a leg. This company offers custom embroidery and old-school gym-short styling for lounging around the house. 

This SoCal brand features luminaries from Big Footwear who have struck out on their own. Limited edition releases and unique finishes are their hallmark, along with a partnership with Vibram that provides next-wave compounds underfoot. We love their wabi-sabi technique, which distresses and dyes shoes to make them look worn in just so. 

Our favorite sub-$200 boot brand, this direct-to-consumer company makes high-end, hand-crafted leather boots for men and women. We like this silhouette, which both lifts and separates you from the pack.

Synthetic canvas on the outside, silky smooth flannel within, this work shirt might just become our daily go-to this winter. Best of all, proceeds go toward the High Fives Foundation, which raises money for athletes injured seriously during action sports pursuits. 

Sustainable down comes in an unbelievably cushy lining with this jacket, which feels close to slipping into a cloud. We like this color combination, which stands out without turning us off. 

We love the mash-up in styles for this fits-like-a-sneaker boot. The comfy sole feels like regular shoes, while the upper is durable and water resistant like a boot. 

Ultra-light and functional, this smart line of vacuum-insulated drinking vessels gives you no excuse not to stay hydrated on the trail. For the well-heeled, there’s a titanium version that’s barely noticeable in the pack; stainless versions aren’t much heavier thanks to innovative construction and ultra-thin walls.

This Los Angeles-based creative agency churns out killer headgear, including this crush-friendly number featuring an embroidered side view of one of the West’s largest residents, the humble elk. Bonus: It’s made from a 3M fabric designed to wick away moisture and always feel soft.

Designed for unmatched comfort, durability, and ease-of-use, the P4 represents decades of consumer feedback, testing, and engineering. Integrated FREE™ technology means all 21 tools easily open with one hand, move smoothly, and click into place with a confident snap. Proudly made in Portland, Oregon.

This cult cycling brand puts out spandex for the cool kids. But they also make plush leisurewear for off the bike, too. Like this on-trend logo sweatshirt, which we’re using to fend off the chill.

Tailor-made for the river, these smart shirts block UV rays and come with clever pockets and pouches for stashing equipment.

Improved sensors mean blood oxygen monitoring is now part of the quiver of telemetry tools you’ll receive from our favorite smartwatch. But the killer app, so to speak, is sleep tracking. With restlessness being so much a part of our lives these days, ensuring a good night’s sleep is more crucial than ever.

The British audio company lightens the load on their flagship noise-canceling headphones with this carbon fiber pair, making them stiff, lightweight, and plush. We love them for the expert tuning they deliver, creating an unparalleled experience for the listener. Bonus: They offer 30 hours of battery life and five additional hours on a 15-minute quick charge.

This beautiful waxed canvas duffel, made by San Diego artisan collective Bradley Mountain, hauls a hefty amount of gear.

Smell like the desert wherever you roam with this unisex, roll-on fragrance containing heady notes of mesquite and palo santo.

This water-resistant, crushable hat can be worn in any weather; crammed in a suitcase repeatedly, it’ll still come out looking like a million bucks.

Plan for an extended road-trip with this super rugged, super functional pack: polyester shell for water resistance, mesh and padding for comfort, and tons of interior pockets and compartments to help travelers stay organized on the go.

Pups and their owners will appreciate this pack, which protects kibble with a waterproof, roll-top design with a separate compartment for dog treats and a pour-spout to avoid messes.

These gloves boast cowhide construction and a handy (no pun intended) paracord cinch strap to warm fingers in retro style.
