Holiday Gear Guide: Best Outdoor Gifts for 2022

Before the Holiday music starts playing in every store you visit, we rounded up 3 of our picks for the best stocking stuffers and outdoor gifts of the 2022 Holiday Season.

1. Stocking Stuffer Must-Have: Breakwater Supply Waterproof Survival First Aid Kit

Our Waterproof Survival First Aid Kit is exceptional: it’s top-rated on Amazon, and at its price it’s simply the best first aid survival kit you’ll find. It has a small size (fits in a stocking) and features items you won’t find in other kits, among them being a 12-inch foam/aluminum survival splint, which is crucial for supporting potential fractures or sprains. It also features an emergency blanket, poncho, multiple compressive and absorbent gauze pads and wraps, and even a paracord bracelet and multitool.

Not to mention the entire kit is lightweight (1.4 lbs) and 100% waterproof. It clips onto backpacks, boats, and other gear with a non-corrosive locking carabiner. Comes in Classic Red, as well as Stealth Black. Find it on our website or at Amazon.

2. For Travelers and Adventurers: Breakwater Supply Fogland Waterproof Backpack

Our latest technical bag, the Fogland Waterproof Backpack meets IP67 standards for complete waterproof protection. It’s the top waterproof backpack available for the outdoors, travel, and commuting. Using our popular Explorer Waterproof Backpack as the basis for the Fogland, we tweaked the design by putting snagless water bottle pockets on each side, plus we added lash tabs and smaller pull loops on each side of the airtight front pocket.

Since we received many requests to create a small waterproof backpack, we also created the Fogland Lite 15L. The material we use for our Fogland Backpack is amazing: it’s double-side-coated 420D Hydrowall TPU on our Stealth Black and Fog White colorways, and we also offer a limited-edition Safari Tan CORDURA Ripstop version. (Note: our CORDURA Ripstop is currently sold out, with new stock arriving later in the year.)

The Breakwater Supply Fogland Backpack features a standard-sized laptop sleeve, is fully submersible, and offers more functionality than any other waterproof backpack on the market. When compared to the YETI Panga 28, the Filson Backpack Dry Bag, the Patagonia Guidewater, and the Fishpond Thunderhead, the Breakwater Supply Fogland Backpack costs 50% less, is lighter (2.1 lbs compared to almost 4 lbs for the YETI and Filson), and features a smaller front submersible pocket for your phone. None of the other backpacks mentioned offer a second submersible pocket.

The Fogland Backpack is made of the same durable TPU-coated material as the backpacks mentioned, and has fast-drying ergonomic straps and a molded EVA back panel. We paid special attention to making the Fogland Backpack comfortable enough for all-day activity, even when paddling and backpacking.

The Fogland Backpack is ideal for travel, hiking, water sports (such as jet-skiing, scuba diving, kayaking, fishing, and paddleboarding), and because it’s completely stormproof, it’s the best wet-weather backpack for hurricanes and flood-prone environments. It’s also the best backpack for wild swimming – the Fogland 25L will float when filled with up to 50 lbs of contents.

3. For the Kayaker or Paddleboarder: Breakwater Supply Meanhigh Dry Bag Waterproof Backpack

Redesigned for 2023, the Breakwater Supply Meanhigh Dry Bag Waterproof Backpack is our sleek, super-comfortable dry bag backpack that offers complete waterproof protection (up to IPX6). Though not designed for extended submersion, it floats on the surface so it’s a great choice for water sports like kayaking, paddleboarding, and boating. At 25L, it’s spacious enough to fit up to 5 beach towels, plus extra gear. Sleek, snagless water bottle pockets on each side are new for 2023, as is the lash tab on the front.
