Still searching for the perfect Father’s Day gift? Dad's big day is coming up quick on June 18, and time is winding down to get him something he'll actually use. If you're shopping for outdoorsy dads, REI has plenty of new gear to choose from, whether dad loves to hike, camp, fish, bike—the list goes on.
From outdoor apparel to tools to waterproof electronics, REI has all the supplies Dad needs to spend some time in the great outdoors. We've combed through REI's gifts for him to find our top picks, from an insulated hoodie to a GPS smartwatch. Shop them below, along with more Father's Day gifts for the outdoorsman.
For the dad who likes to bring his beers and snacks everywhere he goes, we'd recommend surprising him with the Yeti Roadie 48 Wheeled Cooler ($450). Like some of our other favorite coolers, the Roadie 48 features Yeti's famous permafrost insulation for multi-day temperature retention. This mobile cooler can tag along with Dad almost anywhere—from the tailgate to the beach to the campsite. It features two rugged wheels, a grippy, retractable handle, tie-down slots and non-slip feet to remain secure and stable both in his trunk and on various types of terrain.
For the fitness buff who could use a smartwatch dedicated to comprehensive health and wellness tracking, consider the Garmin Venu Sq 2 ($250), which our health and fitness tester loved for its customizable menus, simplified exercise shortcuts, and accurate health tracking.
If Dad tends to remain on his feet for awhile, pick him up a pair of Allbirds Wool Runners ($110), which we stated "stands above the rest [of wool shoes] in terms of design and comfort. Although all wool shoes are ultimately cozy and super soft, Allbirds are the lightest [we’ve] tried."
