Father’s Day Gift Guide: Gear for Dads Who Love the Outdoors
Ditch the Tie. Get Him Gear He’ll Love.
He’s got enough ties, mugs or any other standard gift. This year, get him something that speaks his language—sun, trails, and gear built for adventure. Gift with a purpose with gear that combines functional design with a deep commitment to sustainability. How? All Tellus products utilize recycled or organic materials. Also, 100% of our net profits are donated to The Nature Conservancy, supporting coral reef protection, Colorado forest reforestation, and land and water conservation across the United States. You’re not just buying dad a gift; you’re also helping protect the wild places he raised you to cherish. Plus, from now until the end of the month, get a bonus Klean Kanteen for dad (or you – we won’t tell) with a purchase of $150 or more.
How to Shop for an Outdoorsy Dad
Whether he’s hunting, fishing, paddling, camping, or just heading to the brewery... get him some gear that fits his needs. Tellus makes Earth-first outdoor apparel and accessories using sustainable, high-performance materials like recycled polyester, organic cotton, and Seawool®. The result? Products that feel good, look good, do good and are made for every activity.
Does he enjoy long days on the water? Consider a 50+ UPF sun shirt with quick-drying fabric, like the Satanka Cove Sun Shirt. More of an RV camper or IPA enthusiast? Check out the Foothills Recycled Flannel made from 100% recycled polyester and perfect for summer nights. Give him something to make him smile when he is out doing what he loves.
