CHRISTMAS: 5 LAST MINUTE GIFT IDEAS FOR SPORTY PEOPLE

Christmas, as we all know, comes with a passion for gifts. And inevitably, with the festivities almost upon us, we ask the classic question: “What shall I give him/her?”.

To come to the rescue of all “stragglers”, we’ve compiled a list of 5 last-minute gift ideas that are perfect for sports lovers.

1)Thermal flask

Indispensable for anyone who plays sport. Whether you’re in the gym, cycling, running, on skis, or clinging to a rock face, keeping hydrated is essential for physical health and successful exercise. For this reason, a thermal water bottle that can keep drinks (hot or cold) at the right temperature could be the perfect gift idea for under the Christmas tree. Here is a short guide to choosing the right one.

2) Backpack

Perfect as a gift idea, especially for lovers of trekking and mountain running. There are lots to choose from, depending on the sport; our advice is to opt for a backpack that’s sufficiently roomy but above all comfortable to wear during physical activities.

3) Technical hat, gloves, neck warmer

During winter, thermal accessories are must-have items for people who play sports. Hats or headbands, gloves, neck warmers and balaclavas can make highly appreciated gifts for lovers of winter and snow sports. Our advice is to opt for breathable, lightweight and comfortable items, but above all products that can keep the body dry and at the right temperature even during physical exertion. Garments made of Dryarn® fibre contain all these characteristics. Just look for Dryarn® on the garment label!

4) Pedometer and GPS Clock

An essential accessory for all lovers of mountain hiking, running, Nordic walking and trekking. A pedometer is a great help in tracking the progress of your physical activity; a watch with built-in GPS will facilitate orientation during the most demanding excursions.

5) Go Pro Camera

People who take part in outdoor sports all year round often find themselves confronted by unique and breathtaking landscapes and views. A perfect gift idea for them is undoubtedly a go pro camera, to capture the surrounding landscape without interrupting the activity, filming it from the athlete’s vantage point.
