It’s a few days before Christmas and for some of us, like me, I’m a crammer when it comes to gift-buying. If you’re still wondering what to give your traveller friends, it’s not that hard to please us really. Yes, we do appreciate another headwear, multi-tools, sporks, another water container ( I think I have more than 10 now) or flashlights. But if you want to up the ante a bit or give try something different here are some gift ideas for the active traveler for you.
Packable Jackets
There are different kinds of jackets. The kinds where you can wear for a little warmth yet completely repellant to heavy rains are always handy. What more if you can pack it in its own pocket for compactness. That’s what the Columbia Watertight II jacket has to offer. The patented Omni-tech technology makes sure the fabric is fully waterproof yet breathable. It’s perfect for use general travel and trails.

Power-packed Smartphone
There are highly capable smartphones but if you want a smartphone that really last longer on the road and performs decently with different task I throw at it, the Asus Zenfone 4 Max is a good choice. It has a 5,000mAh battery, 13MP Dual-camera with wide-angle lens, Android 7 and dual-sim slots. I actually enjoy being liberated from powerbanks and a secondary phone.

Trek Pole
Not a necessity but convenient to have for someone who likes to hike and climb mountains. The Bivouac Windu Trekking Pole is something to be proud of as it is designed by a Filipino (Gideon Lacso of PinoyMountaineer). Borne out of years of experience in climbing mountains, the Bivouac Windu is light at 250g, made of aluminun and uses a sturdy snap-lock system instead of the telescopic type. Handle was made more comfortable to handle.
Bivouac Windu Trekking Pole SRP is at P600.
Available at the Perfect White Shirt
