Best Gifts for Hikers, Backpackers, Outdoorsy People (2026)
2026年徒步、背包客及户外爱好者最佳礼物指南
Buying gifts for the outdoor enthusiast is damn near impossible. Your hiking/camping/cycling outdoorsy friends are often serious gearheads, meticulously poring over reviews, guides, and the perennial wisdom of ounce-counting Reddit users to find the exact right thing.
为户外爱好者挑选礼物简直难如登天。你那些喜欢徒步、露营或骑行的户外朋友通常都是资深装备控，他们会一丝不苟地钻研各种测评、指南，以及 Reddit 上那些精打细算的“克重党”们的经验之谈，只为找到那件“完美装备”。
Don’t stress trying to pick that exact right thing yourself. The chances of you figuring it out and getting it for them as a gift is exactly zero. That doesn’t mean you should punt and buy an REI gift card—although they might like that, especially with REI’s annual Labor Day sale coming up. But gift cards are lame. Instead, get them something they totally didn’t expect: one of these fun, useful, sometimes whimsical things that are almost guaranteed to not only delight them but actually get used outdoors.
别为了挑选那件“完美装备”而感到压力。你自己琢磨并买对礼物的概率几乎为零。但这并不意味着你应该直接放弃，去买一张 REI 礼品卡——虽然他们可能会喜欢，尤其是考虑到 REI 即将到来的年度劳动节大促。但礼品卡太没诚意了。不如送他们一些意想不到的东西：以下这些既有趣、实用，有时又带点奇思妙想的礼物，几乎保证能让他们惊喜，并且真的会在户外活动中派上用场。
And what about you? While you’re here, don’t you need to replace your sleeping pad? Don’t forget to check out the rest of our buying guides, including our Best Sleeping Bags guide, our Best Barefoot Shoes guide, and our Best Merino Wool guide.
那你自己呢？既然都看到这儿了，是不是该换个防潮垫了？别忘了看看我们其他的购买指南，包括《最佳睡袋指南》、《最佳赤足鞋指南》以及《最佳美利奴羊毛产品指南》。
Updated July 2026: I’ve removed a few sold-out items and added a hat from Solbari and a nice leather journal. But I’m sticking with the socks as our top pick. If you get nothing else, just get the socks. Trust me.
2026年7月更新：我移除了一些已售罄的商品，并增加了 Solbari 的帽子和一本精美的皮革日记本。但我依然坚持将袜子作为我们的首选推荐。如果只能买一样东西，那就买袜子。相信我。
Merino Wool Socks / 美利奴羊毛袜
Yes, you read that right. Socks. SOCKS. You should gift socks. Outdoorsy people can never have too many socks. We’re hard on socks, which almost guarantees this gift will see some use. What your outdoorsperson especially needs are merino wool socks. Merino wool is a super fiber. It will change their lives. Did you know you can wear merino wool for several days in row without smelling like you just spent two weeks at a Phish reunion? Just kidding, Phish fans. But it’s true. Merino wool will change your friend or loved one’s backpacking life. It’s comfortable, has virtually no odor no matter how long you wear it, and helps your body thermoregulate, staying warmer when it’s cold, cooler when it’s warm.
没错，你没看错。袜子。袜子！你应该送袜子。户外爱好者永远不会嫌袜子多。我们对袜子的磨损很大，这几乎保证了这份礼物一定会被用上。户外爱好者最需要的是美利奴羊毛袜。美利奴羊毛是一种超级纤维，它会改变他们的生活。你知道吗？你可以连续几天穿着美利奴羊毛袜，而不会闻起来像是在 Phish 乐队聚会上待了两周一样？开个玩笑，Phish 的粉丝们。但这是真的，美利奴羊毛会改变你朋友或爱人的背包客生活。它舒适、无论穿多久几乎都没有异味，还能帮助身体调节温度——天冷时更保暖，天热时更凉爽。
We love Darn Tough socks in particular because they’re comfortable, stand up to considerable abuse, and have some of the highest merino wool content of anything we’ve tested. The also come in a nearly endless array of fun colors and designs. If you want something warmer, I love these Expedition Weight Minus33 merino socks ($24).
我们特别喜欢 Darn Tough 品牌的袜子，因为它们舒适、耐磨，而且是我们测试过的产品中羊毛含量最高的之一。它们还有着无穷无尽的有趣颜色和图案可供选择。如果你想要更保暖的，我推荐这款 Minus33 远征级美利奴羊毛袜（24美元）。
The Best Knife for Fancy Hiking / 徒步“精致生活”必备刀具
Opinel’s classic folding knife practically begs to be taken on a hike with some good hard chorizo, soft Spanish cheese, and a nice baguette. It’s the first step to hiking European style. Or at least how I imagine Europeans hike (always with delicious cheese, cured meats, and cheap wine—please don’t ruin my vision, European readers). I got my Opinel as a gift from a friend, and I love it. And I am an outdoor person, so there is your living proof that this is a good gift.
Opinel 的经典折叠刀简直就是为了徒步时享用硬质西班牙香肠、软奶酪和法棍面包而生的。这是迈向“欧式徒步”的第一步。或者至少是我想象中欧洲人的徒步方式（总是带着美味的奶酪、腌肉和廉价葡萄酒——欧洲读者们，请别打破我的幻想）。我收到的第一把 Opinel 是朋友送的礼物，我非常喜欢。作为一个户外爱好者，这就是它作为礼物的最佳证明。
Opinel makes dozens of variations on this knife that you can pick from when gifting. Grab them a kit with a bento box, or a nature lover friend might like the version with handles designed by different artists. The one version I don’t recommend is the carbon steel version. Carbon steel is great, but in this case, when you’re throwing it in your backpack and possibly forgetting about it for long periods of time, carbon steel will rust. Stick with stainless steel when gifting this.
Opinel 为这款刀提供了几十种变体供你选择。你可以买一套带便当盒的套装，或者送给热爱自然的朋友那种由不同艺术家设计手柄的版本。唯一不推荐的是碳钢版本。碳钢虽然好，但在这种情况下，当你把它扔进背包并可能长时间遗忘时，碳钢会生锈。送礼时，请选择不锈钢版本。
Gift Sun Protection / 防晒好礼
No matter what I’m doing outdoors, whether it’s hiking, running, kayaking, or even just sitting in a pool float, I somehow end up sweating off my sunscreen. Maybe that’s just a me problem, but if you’ll be in the sun for an extended period of time, a wide-brimmed, packable hat is always a good idea. This lightweight yet sturdy one from Solbari is made of UPF 50+ nylon and cotton fabric that’s reversible.
无论我在户外做什么，是徒步、跑步、皮划艇，还是仅仅坐在泳池浮排上，我总会把防晒霜汗掉。也许这只是我个人的问题，但如果你要在阳光下待很长时间，一顶宽檐且可折叠的帽子永远是明智之选。这款来自 Solbari 的帽子轻便又结实，采用 UPF 50+ 的尼龙和棉质面料制成，而且是双面可戴的。
There’s a colorful side (navy, pink, ice blue, or green) and a cream side—I’ve found that turning it to the cream side when the sun is extra strong helps to deflect light and cool things down. It’s also got a handy hole in the back for ponytails and braids, and the 5-inch brim in the front and 6-inch brim in the rear are longer than most hats of this style, to ensure you’re well-covered. It’s adjustable for different head sizes via a toggle in the back, and there’s a detachable chin strap, though for some reason this addition makes me feel like an elderly river-rafting guide, so I leave it off. (Though if it’s windy, it’s going back on—just call me Class Five Cloris.) —Kat Merck
它有一面是彩色的（海军蓝、粉色、冰蓝色或绿色），另一面是奶油色——我发现当阳光特别强烈时，换到奶油色那一面有助于反射光线并降温。它后面还有一个方便扎马尾或辫子的孔，前檐 5 英寸、后檐 6 英寸的设计比大多数同类帽子更长，确保了良好的遮阳效果。它可以通过后部的调节扣适应不同头围，还有一个可拆卸的下巴带，虽然不知为何戴上它让我感觉像个上了年纪的漂流向导，所以我通常不戴。（不过如果风大，我还是会戴上的——叫我“五级激流克洛里斯”吧。）——Kat Merck
Laws Guide to Nature Journaling / 自然笔记指南
This book changed the way I, and my kids, look at the world. I originally bought it because I thought my kids might like it (which they did), but then I stole it, read it cover to cover, bought a sketchbook, and, following along with the book, started to see the world in much more detail than I ever had before. Don’t worry if your giftee is not an artist. I am the opposite of skilled when it comes to drawing, and I still love this book. More than drawing, what this book is teaching you is to look closely, observing and recording the world around you, and to form your own understanding of what you’ve witnessed.
这本书改变了我以及我的孩子们看待世界的方式。我最初买它是因为觉得孩子们可能会喜欢（他们确实喜欢），但后来我把它“据为己有”，从头到尾读了一遍，买了一本素描本，并跟着书中的指导，开始以比以往任何时候都更细致的眼光观察世界。别担心你的受赠者不是艺术家。我在绘画方面毫无天赋，但我依然热爱这本书。比起绘画，这本书教给你的是如何仔细观察、记录周围的世界，并对你所见之物形成自己的理解。
