We’ve put together our top gift ideas for travellers in the hope of a travel-filled 2021.  With so much to choose from in stores and online, we’ve curated some gems perfect for a season of travel and outdoor lifestyle.

Jetboil Flash R2899

The party trick of this efficient little stove is to boil half a litre of water in a meager 100seconds! Packing is extremely compact and light at just 371grams and you can add on all sorts of accessories including a coffee press.

Field Bar Cooler Box R1499

The Field Bar proved such a popular design project (we can see why), that it sold out before the first cooler was even made. Now there’s a waiting list with every colour in a constant state of ‘Sold Out’.  The hard cooler is well sealed with a solid ring silicon gasket, stands 37cm high and is created specifically for drinks.

Black Diamond Astro 175 Headlamp R539

Headlamp

Sleek and easily packed away, it’s a good idea (especially in South Africa’s erratic electricity state) to always have a headlamp handy. The 175 lumens light emission comes with different intensity and pattern options with a burn time of 45hours when at maximum strength.

 

 

 

 

RK Plazma Fins and Mask set in Pink from Manex R3695

Fin set - Manex

Designed in collaboration with the US military, perhaps they did not choose this colour option, we find it’s a case ofhave mask + fins – will swim. Short wide blades provide great manoeuvrability and power. The extra wide strap fitting at the back keeps the mask securely in place.

 

 

 

 

SEA & SEA DX-6G Camera & Housing R9995

The rugged case means you can always have this compact and versatile sports camera handy to get those impromptu shots. Impact proof from dropping up to 1.6m with a depth rating of 14m for the camera and you can increase that to 55m inside the case. No cold freeze, even in the Atlantic or down to -10℃.

Waterproof Multifunction Military Metal Compass R429

Compass

The most essential travel item 100 years ago might have lost it’s mojo in a digital world, but real compass functionality works on magnetic north and the elements. Plus pulling out a compass on your trip will always garner immediate respect and instil a sense of mystery.

 

 

 

 

Samsonite Flux Spinner Expandable 68cm R3499

The hidden expandability makes this range a little special and all that more useful when fitting in those extra holiday season gifts. The hard casing offers piece of mind protection and it weighs in at 3.5kg. But it’s this amazing creativity from artist Ana Kuni @ana_kuni which has us inspired to make our luggage stand out in 2021 too!

Vespa from R115 000

Scooters are available to hire in most travel locations and the Vespa is just that much more powerful, reliable, and steeped in cruisy Italian culture and style. Parking is never an issue and doubling up with a partner an experience everyone should try at least once. This is the zippy and nimble Vespa 946 – our favourite for beach visits and coastal cruising.
