Find the perfect (outdoor adventurer) gifts this Festive Season
It’s that time of the year and the team from Thule SA has shared their top picks for this Festive Season to help you find a special gift for that special someone. Get inspired and find the perfect gift for the hiker, outdoor adventurer or just for active friends and families.
From stocking fillers (bags and outdoor accessories) to sensational jaw-dropping gifts (tents and strollers), you’ll find everything you need from Thule. We’ll let you concentrate on the fun bit – choosing which parts of our beautiful backyard that you want to explore. Now, would you prefer to do a short hike, or a trail run first?
Thule AllTrailX 25L Hiking Backpack
This water-resistant (men’s) backpack is perfect for both day hikes and all-day outdoor activities, as it gives you a singular pack for all your hiking needs. An adjustable torso fit is built into the back panel and combined with breathable shoulder straps, hip belt padding and a back panel to make even the toughest day hike extra comfortable ― and allows you to stay cool. All your gear is within reach thanks to the easy access side zippers and front shove-it pocket. The dedicated hydration sleeve frees up space for other essentials like keys and snacks.
Thule Stir 18L Hiking Backpack
If you’re looking for a lightweight option, this backpack offers a simple, clean design ―and quick access to all your (organised) items via the top zippered mesh pocket. It’s great for short hikes, but if you want it even more streamlined, simply remove the sternum strap and hip belt. Then stash water bottles and other essentials in the expandable side pockets. With a weather resistant coated nylon fabric and the breathable back panel and shoulder straps to keep you cool, it’s a bag that will see you through all seasons of outdoor adventures.
Thule Vital 8L Hydration Backpack
This lightweight hydration backpack is built for maximum comfort and ease of use during outdoor activities. The hands-free magnetic hose return system and convenient jersey-style pockets give you quick access to nutrition, clothing or tools without having to remove the pack. For smaller items, such as your phone or keys, simply use the interior zippered pocket. If the kids also love outdoor adventures, this hydration pack comes in 3L and 6L sizes too, just in case, they want to carry their own hydration packs.
Thule Sapling Child Carrier Backpack (available mid-December 2021)
If you’re hiking with young kids, this child carrier is a lifesaver. It’s safe and comfortable, plus quick to adjust to fit both parents. On-the-go adjustments are made even easier, as you can load your child from the top or the side of the carrier. Enjoy easy access to the 22-litre gear compartment, while wearing the pack, through the convenient side zippers. The ergonomic seat is height adjustable, so your kids will always be able to take in the view, plus there’s a deployable sunshade. The seat is also machine washable and there’s a ‘drool pad’ for easy clean up.
Thule Chasm Duffel Bag
This range of duffel bags is a must for hikers and trail runners who are willing to travel for their next adventure. Each bag has removable backpack straps to easily convert it from a duffel to a backpack – and is water resistant. The wide mouth opening makes it easy to quickly pack and unpack – a non-negotiable for travellers who are constantly on-the-go. There are also internal mesh pockets for smaller items. Choose from various sizes (40 litres to 130 litres) and colours, so that everyone in the family knows which bag is theirs.
Thule Tepui Explorer Autana Rooftop Tent
If you really want to go big (literally), this soft-shell tent comes in many different sizes – 2, 3 and 4 person tents, up to 290kg – and varieties for different weather conditions. A roof top tent annex allows you to get ready for the day’s adventures – plus gives you the option of a separate (additional) space for little ones to sleep. The tent fabric is both UV and mould resistant and has mesh panels for added ventilation and airflow. There are also large internal pockets for storing gear and camping accessories, so that you can sleep comfortably.
