5 Things They’ll Need To Enjoy The Outdoors This Winter
As temperatures begin to fall throughout autumn and the winter months draw ever closer, it can be tempting to hibernate at home until the world warms up again.
But there’s no need to hide inside! Nowadays, it’s easier than ever to enjoy the outdoors without shivering all the way. Know someone who wants to go out in wintry weather but can’t take the cold? That’s what we’re here for. Here’s a list of 6 gifts that’ll help them keep warm and cozy!
A good pair of gloves can only do so much. When you’ve got cold hands and want to fix that fast, trapping body heat just won’t cut it. Celestron’s Elements FireCel+ to the rescue! This handy three-in-one gadget can charge your giftee’s small devices, project a red or white LED flashlight beam, or heat itself up to save them from frigid fingers in a flash.
Sometimes, a hot drink is all you need - a bracing, reinvigorating mug of coffee, cider, or cocoa on a cold day really hits the spot! But winter’s chill can suck the warmth out of your favorite cold-weather beverage if you’re not prepared for it. That’s why Ember made their Travel Mug², a 12oz travel mug that can keep a beverage at an exact drinking temperature set via smartphone app for up to 3 hours! The hot-drink fanatic you know will love it.
Make sure your giftee is nice and toasty through their next cold snap with an ActionHeat 5V universal coat heater! These battery-powered infrared radiators can be added to their favorite jacket to turn it into their own personal furnace, helping to keep them warm on windy, chilly days and make them feel like a high-tech arctic adventurer on their morning commute or a winter walk. Velcro panels make it easy to install, and LED power indicators clearly display remaining power levels at a glance.
The cold isn’t the only thing to worry about around this time of year. Ice - especially black ice - is very dangerous to navigate with most ordinary footwear, and it can be impossible to tell whether a slippery surface lurks beneath an innocent-looking snowdrift. Let your loved ones relax while walking outside in winter and get them a pair of STABILicer Walks! These folding ice cleats can fit on almost any shoe and folds up for convenient storage so they can walk with confidence anywhere they go.
Winter is perhaps the worst time for disaster to strike. Getting lost on a hike or stuck in the middle of nowhere by car troubles can turn a minor inconvenience into a life-threatening situation. If you worry about your loved ones being caught out in the cold, make sure they have a Go Time Gear Life Bivy. This highly-portable sleeping bag reflects 90% of the user’s body heat back toward them to keep them warm even in extreme cold, and its tear- and puncture-resistant nylon construction repels rain, snow, and wind. It even comes with a 120dB survival whistle they can use to signal for help!
