Father's Day Gifts or the Outdoor Explorer
Dad love to explore the great outdoors? He'll love these gear and gadgets to make his exploring more fun.
- No man should wander without a multitool like this Sidekick from Leatherman that has 15 tools and folds up into a compact package. Consider getting the carry case too.
- The Camelback Bike Vest offers a 1.5-liter crux reservoir that makes it easier to load and refill. It delivers 20% more water per sip, keeping you hydrated while you ride. It's comfortable and compact, perfect for dad's solo adventures or hiking with the kids.
- Adventures are even more fun when you can relive the memories that are captured on a GoPro. Attach it to your helmet, chest, bike, board or more and get up close and personal with your adventure experience. Sure dad likes to build a fire, find a shelter and fish for his own dinner, but that doesn't mean his night out under the stars has to be cold.
- This Kelty sleeping bag is lightweight but cozy and has upgraded features like a waterproof head and foot cover and included compression sack.
- Regular old flashlights have nothing on this Olympia AD160 High-Performance LED flashlight. With 5 light settings, a beam distance of 107 meters and waterproof to 2 meters, this flashlight is small, but mighty and perfect for camping, exploring or checking under the bed for monsters.
- Whether he is 4 or 64, there is something about guys and walkie talkies. Keep the "troops" in communication about the best fishing spot, potential bear sitings or beer runs with these Motorola MS350R 2-Way Radios that have a 35-mile range and are waterproof for fun in the snow, river, or road.
- For camping, hiking or river walking, these Ahnu Del Rey sandals have a rubber toe cap for protection, quick-dry mesh top and sturdy grips on the bottom.
- Patagonia's Nano Puff Jacket is lightweight and packs down small, but will keep dad toasty warm in a variety of conditions. It's available in six colors or as a vest.

- Take care of his skin with this SuperGoop sunscreen. An easy-to-apply, continuous, non-aerosol mineral sunscreen mist that provides physical broad-spectrum SPF 30 protection and up to 80 minutes of water resistance.
