Looking for the perfect gift for the active guy in your life, or just want to get some new gear for yourself? We’ve put together our 2019 gift guide for athletic guys to give you some inspiration this holiday season.
Bearbottom Clothing Tech Tee
Even though they may be known for their shorts (and we definitely do love those) we can’t get enough of the Bearbottom clothing Tech Tee. It’s super soft and breathable, meaning you barely feel it as you wear it. And it’s just as good as a workout shirt as it is an everyday tee.
AirPods Pro
Who doesn’t love to get the latest tech as a holiday gift. Well These definitely fit that bill. The regular AirPods have long established their dominance in the wireless headphone world, and these are leaps above those. The new Pro model features active noise cancellation, increased water and sweat resistance, and “Hey Siri” capability.
Survival and Cross Jump Rope
Jumping rope provides an intense workout that you can do anywhere and fit in a backpack or suitcase. Just check out these jump rope workouts, and a single jump rope costs way less than a single class at most boutique gyms.
Withings Steel HR
The Withings Steel HR is our favorite smartwatch and fitness tracker out there for a couple reasons. It’s the one of the few smartwatches that has the look of a classic timepiece. It’ still packed with features like a heart rate monitor and discreet screen for viewing notifications and health stats.
Nike Metcon 5 Training Shoes
Give the latest iteration of the Nike Metcons, the 5s. These are designed to be the best cross training sneakers. They have stability for heavy lifting, traction made for speed, and durability where you need it. It comes in over 12 colors, and can be customized for a color scheme fit for anyone.
Under Armour Tech ¼ Zip
Every guy needs a solid quarter zip shirt. It’s one of the most versatile pieces of activewear in a closet. Wear it on it’s own, or throw it over a tee for colder days. And this one from Under Armour performs just as well during a workout as it does hanging out on the weekends.
Lululemon ABC Jogger
Joggers are a great option for any guy. Wear them to the gym, wear them around the house, or wear them running errands. These from Lululemon are a modern, good looking option. If you’re looking for someone taller or shorter they have options online for them too, and even a slim fit version.
Uniqlo Blocktech Parka
Uniqlo is a Japanese brand known for creating some of the most technical fabrics at affordable prices. This Blocktech parka is water-repellent, waterproof, and windproof while still being breathable and stretchy. Plus its clean design lets you wear it as a activewear jacket or just as a casual jacket.
Heavy Grips Set – Hand Grippers
Looking for a great stocking stuffer? These heavy grips are a good challenge of forearm and grip strength. This three pack has levels from beginner through advanced.
Gymshark Lightweight Seamless T-Shirt
This Gymshark seamless tee uses a lightweight breathable material combined with seamless construction to make it so comfortable that you won’t think you have a shirt on.
Nice Laundry Personalized Lounge Shorts
There’s nothing better than lounging around on a Sunday morning, and these shorts make it even more comfortable. These have a stretch outer mesh combined with a super soft micro-modal interior. They feel so good that you’ll never want to take them off. Plus side pockets make them even more convenient, and the personalized initial adds an extra touch of cool.
2XU Compression Tights
There are a lot of thoughts on the benefits of compression, and they are just plain comfortable to wear. Whether you prefer shorts over or not (we prefer the later) these from 2XU look great. They are one of the leaders in compression gear, so you can be confident these will last and perform well.
Concept 2 Model D Rower
If you’re looking for a great at home cardio workout, rowing is great choice that works a wide range of muscles. The Model D from Concept 2 is often considered the standard of indoor rowers. Unlike most new workout machines today, this one needs no monthly subscription.
A Year of Spotify Premium
The key to a successful workout session isn’t pre workout, its your gym playlist. Nothing gets you pumped or through your last rep like a good song. Spotify Premium provides a great, ad-free streaming option. You’ll be creating and finding new workout playlists all year long.
Lululemon Sojourn Jacket
This modern jacket from Lululemon fits like a glove and looks super stylish. It comes in a few different colors and is a great staple you can’t go wrong with.
Stance Performance Socks Pack
Stance makes some of the coolest socks out there and collaborate with unique partners for socks you can’t find anywhere else. Their performance socks stay dry and supportive for your entire workout. Grab a multi-pack this holiday season to get more and save.
Boarding Pass Duffel
With all this new gear from our gift guide for athletic guys, you’ll need a way to carry it. This duffel is a great gym bag from the company Boarding Pass. It’s well made and has a modern minimalist design. And if you’re looking for something extra, the corresponding shaving kit bag pairs perfectly and looks “handsome.”
Performance Tech Tank
Sometimes you just want a comfortable tank for hot days and intense workouts. This Amazon Basics one is lightweight and stretches so it won’t restrict your movement. Plus it comes in a bunch of colors and its affordable price tag won’t break the bank.
Everlane ReCashmere Crew
Our gift guide for athletic guys wouldn’t be complete without a luxury item, because who doesn’t love to find something luxurious under the tree. Well with this crew from Everlane’s ReCashmere collection you can give luxury at a reasonable price and with half the carbon footprint of traditional cashmere.
