Gifts for Men Who
Actually Go Outside

From a £10 beanie to a £185 wool gilet — a considered gift guide for the fisherman, the hillwalker, the stalker, and every man who's happiest when he's out the door.

Buying a gift for a man who loves the outdoors should be straightforward. He knows what he needs, he's particular about quality, and he'll use the right thing for years. The difficulty is that most gift guides are full of gadgets he doesn't want and novelty items that'll sit in a drawer.

This guide is different. Every item here is something he'll reach for regularly — clothing built for the outdoors that doesn't compromise when he comes back in. All of it from Ghillie, an independent British brand that donates 5% of profits to the Atlantic Salmon Trust, and is rated 4.8/5 across 247 customer reviews.

We've organised it by budget and by activity. Find the right section, find the right gift, and you're done.
