It’s hard to buy gifts for hikers and backpackers in 2020. I get it.

We’re a gear-hungry bunch who spends an obscene amount of time searching for products that’ll take our trail game to the next level. Finding unique gifts for us hikers can get overwhelming because we don’t just want good gear; we want the best gear.

Cadeaux santé et bien-être pour les randonneurs

Répulsif sain contre les insectes : Lotion Picaridin de Sawyer

Mosquitos, gnats, flies, and ticks are not only incredibly annoying but can also transmit devastating diseases. This DEET-free Picaridin-based lotion is healthy, easy to apply, and will last up to 14 hours. No harm if it comes in contact with clothing or gear, either, as it dries quickly and won’t damage synthetics.
