Last minute holiday gift ideas for the outdoor enthusiast

The holidays have a way of sneaking up on us every year, and for those of us who would rather be playing outside, there comes a time when we realize we should probably get some Christmas shopping done for the other outdoor enthusiast in our lives. Here are some last minute holiday gift ideas for the ones who love the outdoors as much as you do.

Osprey Raptor 10 Mountain Biking Pack

For the mountain biker in your life, the Osprey Raptor 10 is an excellent mountain biking pack. It stays nice and snug to your back while on technical terrain thanks to the BioStretch™ harness and hipbelt which provides an active and contouring fit as well as ventilation. The 3.0 Liter Hydraulics reservoir has specifically designed baffles to reduce liquid movement for increased pack stability at high speed. You can also use the pack for day hiking as well. The Osprey Raptor retails at $130.00.

JBL Clip 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker

Some of us enjoy a little music while we’re playing outside, and JBL has an ultralight, rugged, and powerful portable speaker, the JBL Clip 2. The JBL Clip 2 is completely waterproof, provides eight hours of playtime, and streams music wirelessly via Bluetooth. The speaker has a carabiner that you can clip to your clothes or your backpack to take on your adventures (please be mindful of others in the outdoors with how loud your music is), and the sound is definitely not shabby as it is quite crisp and clear. The JBL Clip 2 retails at $49.95.
