Father’s Day is only a few days away, so we thought we’d dedicate a few posts this week to dear ol’ dad.

Today’s handy gift guide is for the outdoorsy dad. You know the type; he’d rather spend the day hiking and fishing than being in the office. If he sounds familiar to you, then we’ve got a few gift ideas that will surely make him smile.

If you’re planning on doing some traveling this summer, make sure you stock up on some comfy travel clothing and shoes to wear on those treks across airport terminals.

Nobody likes holding up those lines!

The North Face has been leading the charge in the outdoor world for quite a while, but did you know that they apply their technology to kids clothing? The same great minds that brought you their second-skin jackets, all-weather fleeces and much more have a wide selection of products that let the kids play. If there is one jacket in the closet to have, the Denali is definitely it! This incredible fleece jacket is made with recycled Polartec® 300 series fleece which helps protect the environment by reducing waste. Kids can be tough on their clothes and that’s why The North Face uses abrasion-resistant panels at torso, shoulders and elbows for added durability.
