Red Original’s Valentine’s Day Gifts For Outdoorsy Guys

Written by Lydia Burdett /


Valentine’s Day can feel like a bit of a Catch-22 if the man in your life is an outdoorsy one. You’ll know that nothing will show him just how much you care quite like time outdoors together, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get him something physical to really lean into the occasion - you just have to look in the right places! If your partner is happiest hiking trails, paddleboarding his favourite waters, or just soaking up fresh air, we’ve got you covered. Here’s our guide to Valentine’s Day gifts for outdoorsy guys from Red this year.

Adventure Waterproof Backpack - Berry Red

If you’re looking for a gift that does it all - and looks good doing it - look no further than our Limited Edition Adventure Waterproof Backpack in Berry Red. Built to both be eye-catching and tackle all kinds of adventure with 30L of waterproof storage, it’s perfect for anything from camping trips to paddleboarding days. Thoughtful design touches like cooling foam shoulder straps and an airflow back panel make it as comfortable as it is practical. Add in its welded seams, reinforced base, and a ton of pockets, and you’ve got a bag that’ll handle whatever he throws at it (or in it). It’s certainly deserving of its instant place on our list of top Valentine’s Day gifts for outdoorsy guys. 

Explore T-Shirt

The Explore T-Shirt is a no-brainer if he’s all about comfort. Made from organic cotton, this t-shirt is soft, breathable and perfect for laid-back adventures or chilling at home. The relaxed cut and sea-inspired design make it versatile enough for any and every kind of weekend plan, and its quality construction guarantees that he’ll be reaching for this Valentine’s Day gift time and time again. 

Eddy Recycled Polyester Beanie

Another thoughtful pick for Valentine’s Day gifts for outdoorsy guys is our Eddy Recycled Polyester Beanie. This lightweight beanie is made from recycled materials, offering a kind-to-the-planet way for him to stay warm during remaining winter adventures. The rib-knit design is soft, stretchy, and itch-free, making it ideal for everything from post-swim warm-ups to breezy coastal walks. Pick from three distinct colours, and choose an accessory he’ll really love. 

Towelling Change Robe

If your outdoorsy partner is always on the move between activities, this next Valentine’s Day gift idea could be a real game-changer. Whether he’s surfing, swimming, or hitting the gym, our Towelling Changing Robe makes drying off hassle-free. It’s lightweight and quick-drying, plus roomy enough to pull on over his head and switch gear comfortably. Practical, simple, and always guaranteed to come in handy - the ultimate gift for the outdoorsy.

Insulated Drinks Tumbler 

If he’s always got a mug in hand, our Insulated Drinks Tumbler is a solid choice. This double-walled tumbler will help to tackle both the morning commute and a day on the trails, with the ability to keep drinks hot or cold for hours on end. It’s also made from durable stainless steel, making it more than tough enough to keep up with the pace of his day.

Paddle Board Camera Mount

Think your outdoorsy loved one has everything he needs for his favourite hobby already? Think again. For keen paddleboarders, this Paddle Board Camera Mount is a clever way to help him capture all the action on the water - and a gift he really won’t expect. It’s easy to attach to his Red paddle board and fully rotatable, guaranteeing the perfect shot every time. Plus, it’s rust-free and durable, just like the rest of Red’s gear. 

Paddle Cap

With Spring on the horizon, why not give a gift to get him ready for the sunnier days ahead? Enter, the Paddle Cap. With its moisture-wicking fabric and adjustable closure, this cap is a leader in comfort whether worn working out or hanging out by the water. The clean Red logo adds a subtle, stylish touch, making it an accessory he’ll want to wear on repeat. 

Paddleboarding Date Day

Of course, if you know nothing will cut it quite like time together this Valentine’s Day, you could plan a paddleboarding date day for the two of you. Grab your Red paddleboards (or rent some nearby) and hit the water together. You could use the occasion as an excuse to see your favourite waters from a different vantage point or go somewhere you have never been before. The main thing, though, is that you’ll get to have some quality time with your loved one in the setting you love the most; this experience definitely tops the list of Valentine’s Day gifts for outdoorsy guys who value adventure over tradition.
