My Top 5 Holiday Gifts

Smartwool Adrenaline Mini Crew Socks

One item that is a must for any outdoor enthusiast must be a pair of Merino wool socks. I, myself have about 5 pairs and these suckers are great for when the weather is at its worst. Very soft to touch, these socks will keep your feet warm in the winter and cool during those hot summer rides. Whats so unique about this type of fabric is that even when it gets wet, washed, or dried it always keeps its original “fluff” and shape. Going for about $15 a pair I hope Santa can put some of these in my stocking this year.

V.I.O sport POV.1 video camera

Another great item, maybe my favorite since I love the technical stuff is the new V.I.O sport POV.1 video camera. This is truly one of the best gadgets to invest in if you do a lot of touring through the mountainside. It can be mounted on your helmet and also on your bars, which ever the best camera angle might be. But wait I haven’t told you the best part, it comes with a preview screen so you can focus on the the best shot possible on your ride. No need to worry about mother natures forces because this puppy it water and mud proof right out of the box. For more details check this video out.
