Useful Gifts For Hikers – Get Them A Gift To Remember
The problem with buying hiking gifts if you’re not a hiker is that you never know what will actually be useful. Items like a solar charger sound great in practice but unless you’re hiking in the desert, they barely trickle charge your phone. Likewise, hiking trousers might be great for some hikers but others will only ever hike in shorts, meaning a perfectly good pair of trousers goes to waste.
So what should I buy for a hiker?
