GUY STYLE

NRS Varial Hoodie

If he’s a fisherman, he needs this hoodie! If kayak anglers, boaters or just those that want to hang by the beach could only have one piece of sun protection, the versatile NRS Varial Hoodie with its head-to-waist protection would be a top choice. A dad of any age will be so appreciative of this apparel, not only does it keep him from having to load on many layers of sun protection, but it’s cool in the heat and looks stylish, too. $75

Plush Bamboo Bathrobe from Cariloha

For the dad who wants to chill or even WFH while looking (and feeling) extra swanky doing it, hook him up with a bamboo bathrobe from Cariloha. We loved the plush feel and the extra deep pockets. Available in white or (our choice) graphite. $120

JFK’s Hyannis Sunglasses from LensDirect

A few great men’s legacies are engraved into world history, and President John F Kennedy is one of those men. To commemorate JFK 100 years after his birth, LensDirect remade his favorite shades, a classic style dad is sure to enjoy.

Men’s Tropic High Water Shirt from California Cowboy

This shirt is the unlined version of California Cowboy’s signature High Water Shirt, and their reinvention of the classic short-sleeved Hawaiian Shirt. With a great cut for summer wear, it fits at a nice level below the waist and is loaded with cool features like a loop for his sunglasses, zipped pockets for ID and most importantly, a pocket in the back for Dad to keep a cool summer beverage on him while playing backyard games. $115

Paratrooper Blue Fairway Camo Polo

If he’s a golfer, he wants a sharp shirt that he can wear on the course or to happy hour, and cool (in both regards) in the summer heat. PXG’s Fairway Camo Polo fits the bill, pairing a high-performance, quick-dry material with a color combination that stands out in a good way. Paratrooper Blue is their signature color for Summer 2021, and the polo features UPF 50+ sun protection in a breathable, moisture-wicking stretch fabric. $120

OUTDOOR ADVENTURES & GAMES

Sena Bluetooth Communication Headset for Helmets

Convert any helmet into a Sena smart helmet with the Sena pi, a universal Bluetooth two-way intercom system and speaker, which we highly recommend. The compact headset attaches to helmet straps so the headset rests next to both ears. It turns into a hands-free intercom that automatically picks up the wearer’s voice — dad won’t have to push a button to talk! There’s a range of up to a quarter of a mile with a talk time up to 6 hours. We found the headset picks up your voice surprisingly well while limiting road noise, wind noise, and heavy breathing if you’re riding hard. This is great for all kinds of riding and it also works as a standard Bluetooth speaker so dad will be able to listen to his favorite music while staying safe. $99

Whether he loves baseball, softball,  lacrosse, hunting, fishing, golf or tennis, Warstic has the perfect gift for the dad with a warrior spirit.

The Versatile U-Stand

Level up his outdoor game with the U-Stand, the world’s most versatile beach item–part container, part umbrella stand, and part cup holder. It holds beach gear, serves as a cooler, and is easy to transport with its convenient shoulder strap. Made with durable, UV-protected plastic, it fits any umbrella, ranging from resort-grade wood poles to the standard beach umbrella. We also love this item for shade protection while he’s fishing. $49.99
