Christmas Gifts for Every Outdoor and Travel Lover
From Sierra Designs
Sierra Designs, the US outdoor equipment manufacturer, has a selection of products to make perfect Christmas presents for every outdoor enthusiast.
The Sierra Designs Flex Hike 20-30 (RRP £150.00) is designed to expand according to your needs, and as such is the perfect pack for explorers and adventurers. Expanding gussets allow you to vary the capacity between 20l and 30l - so if your pack gets lighter during the day you can tighten it up as you go. Dual adjustable shoulder straps create a tailored fit for tall and small alike, and ample stash pockets on the sides and hips ensure that your gear is always close to hand. The unisex Flex Hike is available is available in either Peat (pictured) or Butterscotch colour.
Small in size but mighty in skill, the Sierra Designs Flex Lumbar (RRP £55.00 to £70.00) is a smaller hip-sized version of Sierra Design's Flex Capacitor backpack, ideal for day hikes, bike rides and running. Thanks to the same expanding gusset innovation as the Flex Capacitor, flexible carrying capacity come naturally; loosen it up to get extra space for bulky layers, snacks and accessories, or tie it down tight to stabilize smaller loads. Two elastic mesh pockets on the sides fit most water bottles, and plush padding on the hip belt straps makes this low-back pack a comfortable, low-profile companion for many body shapes. Available in two sizes - 3 to 6 litre (pictured) or 7 to 10 litre - and in Peat (pictured) or Blue colours.
The Sierra Designs Flex Capacitor 40-60 (RRP £180.00) is a modern classic pack, renowned for its light weight, class-leading versatility, and innovative features, with its expandable volume making it the one-pack solution for any adventure in the great outdoors. The Flex Capacitor features a unique patent-pending gusset system, allowing the pack to quickly and easily expand from 40 to 60 litres by adjusting a few straps. Instead of expanding upwards like other packs, the circumference of the Flex expands, to provide a more stable and comfortable load carry. It's constructed around a Y-Flex suspension system, is robust for its low weight, and has a padded lumbar support and wide hip belt to spread the load evenly. The Flex Capacitor 40-60 is available in peat (pictured) or butterscotch colours.
TheSierra Designs Flex Trail (RRP £170.00)ultralight backpack allows you to tailor your pack size to your needs by taking advantage of the horizontal gussets. Pack size can be reduced to a 40L capacity for shorter trips, or expanded to 60L for longer backpacking adventures, and further customised via the hardware-based adjustable torso. Essentials are kept close at hand thanks to the Flex Trail's oversized mesh pockets and zippered hip pockets, and the aluminium perimeter frame suspension keeps this backpacking pack lightweight while the support remains strong. the Flex Trail is available in a Wild Dove/Peat colour scheme.
Simple construction and a classic mummy bag shape are the hallmarks of the Sierra Designs Nitro 0° (RRP £340.00) of our best-selling sleeping bags for backpackers who put a premium on low weight, incredible comfort and straightforward tech. The Nitro 0 sleeping bag is designed with durable nylon ripstop and insulated with 800-fill, hydrophobic DriDown to keep you toasty warm, even on damp nights. A draft collar seals in the heat when moving around, and sidewall baffles prevent the down from shifting and causing cold spots, with the patented self-sealing foot vent providing relief to hot sleepers without the need to kick off the covers. The Nitro has a comfort rating of -9°C.
The Sierra Designs Cloud 20 (RRP £300.00) is an oversized, and uniquely zipperless, sleeping bag, providing unrestricted freedom for any sleeping position. It's stuffed with ultra-compact, responsibly sourced DriDown™ and coated with PFC-free water repellent. An adjustable self-sealing foot vent, and insulated shoulder pockets, mean a comfortable night's sleep for hot sleepers and side sleepers alike. Temperature Comfort rating is -1°C, and weight is 0.8kg for the regular, 0.83kg for the long version, and 0.9kg for the women's version.
Solo and simplicity go hand in hand with the Sierra Designs High Side 3000 1P Tent (RRP £280.00). This lightweight, one-person tent is ideal for backpacking or bikepacking; it provides a maximum amount of space at a minimum amount of weight, thanks in part to its pre-bent poles and distinct tunnel-style build. Once set up, the awning can be extended for extra storage or better ventilation, using the two vestibule zippers. When it comes time to break down your camp, the 12-inch pole sections pack efficiently between bike handlebars or backpack frames. The tent's pole geometry creates a "high side" over the door, to maximises liveable space and minimise weight, and packs up easily into the provided burrito bag.
