ULA Equipment Epic Pack

Each ULA pack is handmade to fit the wearer’s exact specifications; and this new, award-winning, fully waterproof pack (carried on the National Geographic-sponsored circumnavigation of Alaska by Andrew Skurka) is the sturdiest of the bunch, perfect for backpacking in any weather.
Igloo RECOOL 16 Quart Cooler

Made entirely from biodegradable materials, this ugly-duckling cooler is an eco-friendly alternative to styrofoam coolers (which aren’t so cute themselves, really).
MSR Lightning Ascent Snowshoes

Ultralight and built for aggressive performance, these are the pinnacle of pairs for serious snowshoers (especially if they’re also avid gear junkies).
Custom Leatherman

A truly one-of-a-kind gift. The Leatherman Custom Shop allows you to design and personalize a Leatherman for everyone on your list (including yourself). Our pick: The WAVE®+, which comes equipped with 19 different tools to keep you handy.
Luci Core

This water-resistant, 40-lumen light made with cool white LEDs comes with a 13-inch silicone arm to hold it in any position, and lasts up to 14 hours on a single charge—when it runs low, recharge via USB or, better yet, solar.
National Parks & Federal Regulation Lands Annual Pass

A no-brainer gift to please any adventurer on your list. The pass covers entrance fees for the pass-holder and anyone in their vehicle, or the pass-holder and three accompanying people at sites where individual entrance fees are collected. Another bonus? The money you’ll spend on the pass goes directly back to the parks.
