posted by gumptiongear June 10, 2012 0 comments

Father’s Day is just a week away. Between work, family, and outdoor escapades, spending time weeks in advance to purchase a gift for your Father doesn’t always work out. So, if you are one of the those people who want to get a gift for an adventuring Father, there is still time.

To help you out, here’s a list of Gifts with Gumption for the fathers in your life who give so much.

VAPUR ELEMENT
Your Dad is no ordinary Dad… so why should he be stuck with an ordinary water bottle?  Available in two high-capacity sizes (.7 and 1 liter), the foldable, reusable Vapur Element will keep Dad hydrated no matter the terrain or destination. [Vapur: $12]

KEEN AMBLER
The ideal footwear for your adventures, the Ambler Mesh features a highly breathable mesh upper with waxed suede trim, a semi-sticky active-traction rubber sole and a moisture-wicking textile lining. A perfect light hiker. [KEEN: $95]

SOLEUS GPS 1.0
Small enough to use as a daily sports watch, yet advanced enough to measure and track your all of his runs, the Soleus GPS 1.0 will shatter any expectations you may have for a GPS watch that costs less than $100. [Soleus Running: $99]

ZEAL ALL IN
If your Dad is biking on the trails, or lounging poolside, he will be protected from glare and UV rays, allowing his eyes to look cool and be comfortable.  [Zeal Optics: $109]

CHACOS UPDRAFT
If your Dad is a fan of trips down the River, you’re going to want a pair of Chaco‘s Updraft which have grippy lug soles for walking on slippery rocks and a contoured footbed for comfort. Whether you swim or hike in them, the form-fitting straps stay put. [Chacos: $95]

ENO HAMMOCK
What Dad wouldn’t enjoy the goodness of a hammock?  We suggest the Double Deluxe from ENO Hammocks. The spacious 6’8” x 9’4” dream machine allows room for Dad, or Dad and his kidlets.  [Eagles Nest Outfitters: $79.95]
