Matador Freerain24 Backpack

Matador-Freerain-Backpack-Gear-Patrol

Before it morphs into a backpack, Matador’s FreeRain24 is no bigger than a coffee cup. Unfurl the tiny bundle from its attached stuff sack, and you have a waterproof, lightweight and puncture resistant backpack that’s perfect for day trips. Tell your dad pack it his luggage or stash it in his car, and sooner or later, he’ll wonder how he ever lived without it. Sorry, discounts don’t apply for this item.

Luno Flip Tabletop Vinyl Record Display

Luno-Record-Flipper-Gear-Patrol

Nothing makes a vinyl junkie prouder than showing off his collection. Luno’s Flip Tabletop record holder is handcrafted in LA and makes it easy for dad to display his current rotation. It’s also available in two finishes of solid American Walnut with solid brass details or solid Oak with chrome.

Twelve South Fermata Headphone Charging Stand

TwelveSouth-Fermanta-Fathers-Day-Gear-Patrol

Wireless headphones are becoming the new norm, which is great for convenience — until their built-in batteries die. Twelve South’s Fermata headphone stand is an elegant way to display and charge the latest generation of wireless headphones. It also includes a handy USB port in its base to charge a phone or other device.

Inventery Mechanical Pen

Inventery-Pens-Gear-Patrol

This is no ordinary pen. That’s because it’s precision machined from a single brass rod to achieve a unibody construction and features a silent click, thanks to a brass click mechanism by Schmidt, not a standard plastic part. Thanks to individual serial numbers, each one is also unique, just like your pops.

The PK Grill & Smoker

PK-Grills-Gear-Patrol

This grill looks old school because it is old school. For over 60 years, PK’s USA-made aluminum charcoal grills have earned a reputation as some of the best-ever, and we all know pops could use some help in that area.

Type Hike Yellowstone Print

Yellow-Stone-Print-Gear-Patrol

Help him pull his office decor out of the late ’80s with a National Park print from Type Hike. One hundred percent of the profits from sales are donated directly to the National Park’s Centennial Campaign; what kind of dad doesn’t think about legacy?

Horse Brand Camping Knife With Leather Sheath

Horse-Brand-Knives-Gear-Patrol

Kammock Roo Adventure Hammock

Kammock-Roo-Adventure-Hammock-Fathers-dayGear-Patrol

Nothing says “I won life” like lounging in a hammock. Kammok designed the incredibly popular Roo adventure hammock to hang pretty much everywhere while comfortably fitting two people. It also packs down intro a small 24-ounce stuff sack.

Stahl Camper Firepit

Stahl-Camper-Firepit-Fathers-Day-Gear-patrol

He claims he loves making fires the old-fashioned way, and then never does it. Stahl’s Camper firepit eliminates the need to dig a pit and clear brush.
