Top Five Cool Tech Gifts For the Outdoorsy Nerd In Your Life

12/12/2015

There's at least one of those friends in every group. If you've seen that Portlandia episode "Gotta get the gear", you'll know EXACTLY what we're referring to.  Gear heads, gear junkies, outdoor gear nerds... we're not sure which title they prefer more.  If one of these individuals is on your Christmas list and you haven't already braved the crowds to seek out the most perfect gift, we have you covered!

#1 - SPOT Connect

This is the ultimate in the latest backcountry safety communications!  When pared with your smartphone, the SPOT Connect hooks you up to a global satellite network.  You can send messages and GPS coordinates from just about ANYWHERE on the planet.  You can purchase this incredible unit in the heart of Whistler Village at Excess Backcountry
Word on the block is these toasty feet huggers are the best heated socks on the market!  Why mess with heated foot beds when you can wear and then wash these new hot socks?  And because its 2015, you can also control your heat settings with an iPhone app.  Those cold feet complainers will have to find something new to whine about.  But hey, there's no friends on pow days anyways.  Find these in the Whistler Village at Sportstop
When it comes to Avalanche Safety, you want your friend to have the best product on the market. The Mammut Pulse Barryvox has 3 antennas, wide display, 7 target beacons at once, and motion detection technology that transmits life signs from other buried Pulse beacons.  We could list all these amazing features for a while but best of all it doesn't give you that "spare tire" look under your jacket, because looking cool in the backcountry is far more important that safety.  *jokes*   Available at Access Callaghan (that's us!)
Lets be honest here, have you ever had a pair of goggles that were truly fog proof?  Thought so. You four eyes and heavy sweaters rejoice!  These goggles come with a built in fan to keep that vision robbing fog out of your way so you can continue to impress everyone on the mountain because you're the best skiier on the mountain.. right?  at Excess Backcountry
 If you throw an embarrassing amount of snowballs for your age, these are the gloves for you.  Powered by rechargeable batteries, the Hestra's Power Heaters will keep your hands toasty and happy in all conditions. Three settings providing up to 10 hours of warmth. A waterproof, breathable Flextron upper, stops the wind while a durable goat leather palm keeps your hands dry. Also, a snug fit with pre-curved fingers for comfort and better dexterity.  Go ahead and climb that ice, grab your sharp metal edge board, and build that backyard igloo, these gloves will keep your digits delightful. Find these in the Whistler Village at Sportstop
