It’s that time of year when you start to consider gift options for your loved ones (or for yourself). As we do every year, we present you with some of our favorite outdoor gear in this holiday gift guide — including gear from brands who are OWAA Supporting Groups (corporate members). But this list isn’t just about our Supporting Groups and it’s certainly not sponsored, so we’ve filled it with gear that our staff have personally tested in the field and would recommend to friends and family.
