And here it is! Gift ideas, this time for men

Are you fed up with the ubiquitous advertising slogans that remind you hundreds of times a day since the beginning of October that Christmas is "knocking on the door", "is coming unstoppably", "is already around the corner" or at least "is coming" and you "still haven't bought your presents "? So let's put a stop to that. Come blow them all at once at our Rigad. And then just enjoy the more pleasant part of Advent (don't worry, it doesn't start until December 3rd) with your feet on the table and a mulled wine in your hand. Here you will find a nice and at the same time practical gift for everyone. In today's article we will focus on men.

7 gift ideas for men

Whether you're looking for a gift for your husband or partner, dad, grandpa or a friend with crazy hobbies, Rigad has everyone in mind. We choose gifts that will bring joy, but most of all will be really useful to the recipient, will work reliably and will also last a while. Get inspired by some of our tips.

1) Gerber StrongArm Knife

This knife has already become a classic. For decades, the Gerber company has specialized in the production of survival knives for the US military. This model successfully follows a series of knives primarily intended for combat and survival.

The Gerber StrongArm is very durable and can withstand rougher handling. This is mainly due to the fulltang construction and the 420HC carbon steel blade. The blade conforms to the clip point shape and is protected by a black ceramic coating that acts as corrosion prevention, prolongs the life of the blade and does not cast glare, thereby not drawing attention to a potential enemy.

The handle made of nylon reinforced with glass fibers also has an interesting design. The external rubber coating together with the diamond structure ensures a secure grip and safety during work. The handle includes a double-sided guard that prevents fingers from slipping and injuring themselves on the blade. At the opposite end, you will find an opening for threading a safety cord on the wrist and a head that can break through hard surfaces and you can use it in rescue operations (eg breaking car glass in a traffic accident). But the list does not end there, because the knife sheath also deserves attention. It is modular and allows connection to MOLLE-compatible systems.

2) Glock Chrono watch

This is a gift for discerning people. The top product of the world-famous Austrian gun manufacturer Glock is a guarantee of quality. The original and not overfamiliar black-orange design, which does not deny the typical Glock signature, is combined with simple elegance. What else does this watch offer?

The Chrono watch has solar charging, so you can save battery life while you're out in nature. The titanium body ensures high resistance and waterproofness up to a pressure of 10 atmospheres, i.e. to a depth of approximately 100 meters. The glass is made of durable sapphire, which prevents scratches. The dial with three sub-dials is clear and easy to read. As a bonus, you get two straps – elegant mesh and silicone.

3) EDC Small wallet from Helikon-Tex

A tasteful accessory for the city and the wilderness, but you will appreciate the main advantages of this wallet when traveling. Behind the simple design at first glance is hidden a detailed product that puts safety first. The wallet is made of highly resistant Cordura. Another huge benefit is RFID protection, which ensures the security of payment cards against their misuse.

The interior space is richly divided and allows for several variants of the placement of money, cards and other small items. But it also contains one more pocket, which you would look for in vain in most wallets – it is a larger pocket for a firearms license. Helikon-Tex really thinks about our clientele in every way. You can choose from 7 different shades, including camouflage patterns.

4) Pentagon Runner fanny pack

This fanny pack is intended primarily for the concealed carrying of a short weapon. Therefore, it must meet very strict criteria. Above all, it is light, durable and comfortable. Of course, there is an adjustable waist strap, fastening with a quick release buckle and high-quality YKK zippers with pullers. The ripstop finish gives the material good mechanical resistance.

A durable two-way zipper is used for quick and safe access to the weapon. The interior space is logically divided, the main double-sided pocket is equipped with elastic loops for fastening the weapon and smaller zippered pockets for accessories. A central zipped pocket is used to store essentials, and for easier organization, it is also equipped with an internal zipped mesh pocket.

5) Adventure flask and shots from Stanley

This gift has style! The Stanley company boasts more than a century of tradition in the manufacture of camping and outdoor cookware and is a phenomenon at home in the USA. Stanley products are characterized by durable materials and precise processing. In short, you will know that you are holding quality in your hands.

The entire system consists of a flask and a tube with 4 shots. The flask has a volume of 230 ml, is nicely processed and made of stainless steel material, which is light, durable and stable. The plastic lid with a stainless steel cap is hinged, so even notorious "losers" of things need not fear anything. The stainless steel tube contains 4 shots, each with a volume of less than 60 ml. At first glance, they are also of good quality, have a nice design and are equipped with the Stanley logo. There is still a bit of free space in the tube with shots, the tube itself without shots can be used, for example, as a stylish cover for small items or a mini survival kit.

6) Lowa 4 Season Pro Socks

And here it is! Mandatory socks simply must not be missing in the selection. In recent years, socks with funny pictures and crazy colors have been trending, but you can go the quality route instead. We believe that honest merino wool will sustain the recipient in tough conditions much better than a picture of a beer or a smiling avocado…

These socks from Lowa provide maximum comfort even during all-day wear, thanks to the admixture of merino wool and special reinforcement in exposed areas. It thus protects the heels, ankles and Achilles tendon. Other functional elements include, for example, a reinforced seamless toe and ribbing for better dissipation of excess heat. Merino wool is naturally antibacterial, absorbs sweat well and does not smell. In addition, it warms even when it gets wet. The synthetic component of the fabric, in turn, helps to wick away moisture faster. Each sock is specially designed for the right or left foot. This makes them a great basic element of clothing for demanding conditions. We only have one pair of legs!

7) Petzl Aria 1 RGB Headlamp

Even though its design is simple and unobtrusive, you yourself will have an absolute overview of your surroundings in the dark. Its light construction does not burden your head in any way. The Aria 1 headlamp is resistant in all respects, even against water and dust.

In addition to the classic white lighting with 3 levels of intensity, you also have RGB modes available, all in constant or flashing mode. You can use white light for most activities, red makes it easier to see at night and does not dazzle, green enhances contrast (e.g. when reading) and blue improves visibility when hunting and fishing. You can easily switch between the individual modes with a button. Thanks to the separate base, you can tilt the headlamp and adjust the lighting direction.

Aria 1 has two ways of powering. It comes standard with 3 AAA/LR03 batteries, but is also compatible with the Petzl Core rechargeable battery (sold separately). The integrated indicator will show you the charge status every time you turn the headlamp on and off.
