Outtabounds Holiday Gift Guide 2021
It’s that time of year where you can curl up inside on a cold day or you can slide into that comfy AF baselayer, throw on some technical gear and get outside like a little kid on the first snow day of the year. We’ve put together a list of our very favourite, best winter gifts so Uncle Bob knows exactly what to get you and your closet doesn’t pile up with another polo shirt you don’t need.
1. Baselayers
It’s all about that base (layer). You’ve got to keep your body warm in the winter and that starts with a solid baselayer. Check out our favourites for men and women.

Mons Royale Women’s Christy Legging
If you are looking for a more technical legging to hit the slopes with then we’d go with these 100% Merino wool Mons Royale tights to keep you dry while you’re sweatin’ it out on the slopes.

But, why stop there, when you can wear an Airblaster onesie and let out that inner badass ninja. And look, with a onesie, there’s no snow sliding up your back when you wipe out, we call that a win.
Smartwool Merino Baselayer Top
We gotta keep that torso warm too and our dudes over here like to hit the pow with this Smartwool Merino baselayer top.
