Atomic Bear Survival Paracord Bracelet Hiking Gift For Women, 2-Pack

Women who hike find that outdoor gear tailored for their unique needs is often better than unisex gear. While certain things remain the same, gear like smaller-sized socks and ergonomically designed backpacks for women can make for a great gift  for a woman who loves to be in the outdoors.

Hikers use a lot of gear, particularly when going on overnight trips. Talk to your intended gift recipient, and find out what type of hiking she usually does. Gift suggestions include cushioned hiking socks, hiking poles, backpacks, fanny packs, rain jackets, sleeping bags and first-aid kits.

Some of these can be pretty expensive, especially if they are high-tech. But you don’t have to spend a fortune to get a thoughtful hiking gift.

• When it comes to hiking gifts, some of the most important adjectives to look for are “lightweight” and “comfortable.” No hiker wants to carry heavy items or be uncomfortable when they are out on the trail.
• Water resistance is also important; she may use the gift when out on the water, or she could get caught in the rain during a hike.
• You really can’t go wrong by purchasing more inexpensive hiking gifts that hikers use often, such as socks, insulated water bottles and fanny packs.
• Hiking advocacy groups post lists that include essential items for hikers. If you can’t decide what to buy, check out some of those resources for more information.
