Shopping for someone who’d rather be on a mountain than in a shop? Then you’re in the right place. In 2025, outdoor technology has taken a leap (it feels like every year this is the case). From GPS watches that track every heartbeat to solar generators for off-grid adventures, we’ve rounded up our best outdoor tech gifts.
So whether it’s for Christmas, a birthday, or just because, this guide is stacked with gear your outdoorsy friend (or you!) will actually use — and love.
Let’s get into it.
🥇 Garmin Forerunner 265 – The Ultimate GPS Watch
If there's one gift that's got "tech-savvy adventurer" written all over it, it's the Garmin Forerunner 265. This bestseller in the Garmin Watch collection is perfect for runners, hikers, and data lovers. It features:
-
AMOLED touchscreen display (seriously crisp visuals)
-
Advanced training metrics & recovery insights
-
Music support without needing your phone
-
GPS accuracy that’s second to none
Basically, it's like having a coach, a DJ, and a navigator — all on your wrist.
💡 Pro tip: Great for anyone training for races or trying to level up their fitness game.
🔦 Headtorches – Don’t Let Darkness Win
Whether it's an early morning trail run or a late-night campsite setup, a reliable headtorch is a must-have. Whether it's climbing Lugnaquilla at night, or searching in the attic for your long-lost jackets -we love a good headlamp. We always feel a rechargeable one is worth the extra investment, but in the case of Petzl - you can buy a rechargeable CORE battery after the fact, which will work with all of their models!
Perfect stocking filler? We think so. Practical and lightweight? Absolutely.
