The outdoorsy mom in your life might be a fly fisherman, a trail runner, a backcountry skier, a backyard hunter, or all of the above. The gifts that work for her are the same as for outdoorsy dads but with one caveat: do NOT default to the pink version. Quality gear is gender-neutral; the women I know would rather have the right tool in any color than the wrong tool in a “ladies’” finish.
1. Quality multi-tool
A solid multi-tool with pliers, knife, and screwdriver bits. Look for a 6-7 oz model that fits a hip pocket. View multi-tools ->
2. Insulated puffy jacket
A packable down or synthetic puffy in a versatile color. Sizing varies between manufacturers — include a gift receipt if you’re not sure. Browse insulated jackets ->
3. Quality fleece or merino base layer
A merino wool base layer is the gift outdoorsy women keep wearing — it doesn’t stink after a week of camping the way synthetic does. View merino base layers ->
4. Stainless insulated tumbler
A 20-30oz vacuum-insulated tumbler that holds coffee through a 4-hour stalk. Stainless, no leak. Browse tumblers ->
5. Rugged outdoor watch
A barometer/altimeter outdoor watch with multi-day battery. Solar-charging models cut the recharge anxiety. View outdoor watches ->

A rechargeable 400-lumen headlamp with red-light mode. Lightweight. Browse headlamps ->
7. Folding pocket knife
A 3-inch folding knife with a frame lock and good ergonomics for smaller hands. View folding knives ->
8. Compact camp chair
A lightweight camp chair that packs into a backpack. The 2-pound models are the right balance of weight and comfort. See camp chairs ->
9. Trekking poles
A quality pair of adjustable trekking poles makes hiking with weight easier on the knees. Look for cork grips and carbide tips. Browse trekking poles ->
10. Insulated water bottle
