Gifts for Hikers

What useful gifts are there for hikers?

Hikers especially appreciate gifts that truly support them on their tours. These include sturdy backpacks with clever features, waterproof accessories, practical water bottles, stylish sunglasses, or all-weather jackets.

For those discovering hiking for the first time, the Kapten & Son Banff Backpack is particularly suitable. Thanks to its robust material, generous storage space of up to 35 litres, and a practical hip belt, the backpack combines practical functionality and comfort. The minimalist, stylish design also impresses beyond outdoor adventures: for example, during sports, travel, or everyday life.

A great gift idea for hikers and a true all-rounder is the 3in1 jacket. This jacket set consists of a fleece and a rain jacket, which can be worn separately or combined – one jacket, three looks! The jacket is perfect for outdoor adventures as it is waterproof, keeps you warm, and the materials are breathable. Ideal for layering when hiking.

In addition to a backpack and a new jacket, smaller accessories can also be useful gifts for hikers. These include power banks, GPS trackers, or other handy gadgets that can be used, for example, when camping.

What should you always have with you when hiking?

Besides suitable clothing and comfortable hiking boots, a high-quality backpack is the heart of every tour. The following essentials belong in the hiking backpack:

• Change of shirt & functional socks

• Reusable water bottle (e.g. Kapten & Son water bottle)

• Snacks (e.g. muesli bars, fruit, sandwiches)

• Sunglasses with UV protection (e.g. Kapten & Son Zurich Oversize)

• Sunscreen & lip balm with SPF

• Maps/GPS or smartphone with offline map

• Power bank (for smartphone or GPS)

• First aid kit (including blister plasters)

• Pocket knife/multitool

• Tissues or small towel

• Trash bag for waste

• Small seat pad or picnic blanket

• Money/ID card/health insurance card

• Possibly a light hat & gloves (depending on the season)

• Rain protection (e.g. Everyday 3in1 Rain Jacket)
