Top Off-Road Gifts for Off-Roaders: Gear and Exclusive Deals

With the arrival of the holiday shopping season, it’s time to start gift shopping for the off-road enthusiasts in your life. Whether they’re a 4×4 driver, UTV thrill-seeker, dirt bike ripper, or outback overland camper, they will surely appreciate a gift focused on their favorite form of outdoor adventure. From off-road performance accessories to innovative safety gear and outdoor apparel, there’s no shortage of thoughtful items that make great gifts. 

And with onX Offroad’s Elite membership pro deals, you can access exclusive discounts on top brands. Elite members can purchase high-quality products from recognized off-road brands at a significant discount. From recovery and camping gear to vehicle wraps and many other accessories, an off-road-themed gift will bring a smile to those who love the great outdoors. The following is a list of some of the best holiday gifts for off-roading trusted by pros and made accessible through an onX Offroad Elite membership.

Off-Roading GPS

Some form of GPS, like the onX Offroad App, is essential for off-roading. More than just knowing where you are in the world and avoiding getting lost, GPS helps you safely navigate rugged terrain and quickly find help when needed. Traditional GPS units are helpful but often come at a higher cost and often with less functionality.

That is where the onX Offroad App shines. For less than the cost of a dedicated GPS, the onX Offroad App offers a suite of features tailored to off-roaders. Access up-to-date trail maps, detailed public and private land ownership data, weather forecasts, and Waypoint sharing, all directly on your smartphone or tablet. Activate the Map Layers you need to plan a trip or make changes on the fly, including wildfire (historical and active), air quality, and precipitation radar. 

The App even works offline, so you can still access offline personalized maps saved to your device when traveling in remote areas without cell service. Share those routes or entire trip folders with friends so you can stay together for safer, better-organized adventures.

Safety & Recovery Equipment

When off-roading, getting your vehicle stuck or having a breakdown is bound to happen at some point. Preparing in advance with the proper safety and recovery gear is vital to a safe, enjoyable outing. Without adequate recovery gear and tools, one can become stranded, especially in remote areas without cell service. Having the proper safety and recovery gear and knowing how to use it increases self-sufficiency and safety and comes in handy for helping other off-roaders in need.

Safety and recovery items one should carry on each off-road adventure—and that will make for great gifts this holiday season—include the following suggestions:

• First Aid Kit–An off-road focused kit with items needed in case of emergencies, like those from My Medic or Adventure Medical Kits.
• Basic Tool Kit–With wrenches, sockets, screwdrivers, and pliers, like those from Red Dog Tools™.
• Winch–A high-quality, heavy-duty model like those from Warn Industries is a must.
• Vehicle Recovery Kit–These kits, like those from RTR Vehicles, Warn, and Factor 55, combine a recovery rope, shackles, and ratchet straps in one handy kit.
• Tow/Recovery Straps–At least one high-quality rope like those from Yankum Ropes or a tow/recovery strap from a reputable off-road brand such as Rhino USA is a must.
• Work Light, Flashlight, or Headlamp–A must-have for vehicle repairs or other emergencies when driving in the dark. Choose a durable, high-quality product, like those made by Olight, Fenix, or similar.
• Traction Boards–Like those from MAXTRAX, help extract a vehicle from sand, mud, snow, and other loose conditions.
• Communication Device(s)–Two-way radios like those from Rugged Radios or Midland, a satellite phone, or another reliable communication device.

Off-Road Campsite Gear

The right campsite gear can transform an overnight stay into a more enjoyable experience. Essentials like an easy-to-assemble, weather-resistant tent and high-quality sleeping bag bring the comforts of home to the wild and make perfect holiday gifts for the year-round off-road enthusiast or weekend warrior. High-quality camping gear is a great way to elevate any backcountry camping experience. Gear to consider that make great holiday gifts include:

• Tent–Sleeping outdoors is better and more comfortable with a quality standard or rooftop tent from reputable brands like Roofnest, OZTENT, Thule, and iKamper.
• Sleeping Bag–A high-quality down or synthetic-filled model rated for low temperatures can make a difference during overnight trips.
• Cooking Gear–Whether it’s utensils, a solo stove, or a cookware set, cooking gear that focuses on portability means you won’t skimp on gourmet meals in the backcountry.
• Fire Starting Kit–Start a fire more easily with Exotac, Pyro Putty, and UCO portable kits.
• Cooler–Food and beverages stay chilled longer with a durable, high-quality cooler from reputable brands like Yeti, Orca, or Xspec.
• Fire Pit–A portable fire pit, like those from TactiCool, can be taken anywhere, is fully contained, produces no sparks or ash, and has an adjustable nozzle to control flame levels.

Apparel & Accessories for Off-Road Enthusiasts

The wide range of off-road apparel and accessories on the market is an ideal place to begin hunting for holiday gifts. From cold-weather jackets for when the temperature drops to vehicle accessories like device mounts for keeping maps and apps in view to a new set of aftermarket wheels, there are many products designed to elevate comfort and convenience on the trail while adding a personal touch to any off-roader’s setup. A few of the many off-road apparel and accessory items to consider this holiday season include:

• Rugged Weather Apparel–Jackets, base layers, hats, and gloves like those from legendary off-road brands FXR and KLIM help make long days in the backcountry more comfortable—especially in cold weather conditions.
• Device Mounts–Like those made by Bulletpoint Mounting Solutions, provide a durable and rigid way to keep smartphones, tablets, and GPS devices more accessible.
• Vehicle Accessory Racks–Roof racks, luggage boxes, and other load-securing accessories like those offered by DECKED, Rhino Rack, and Barnes 4WD allow you to carry more on each adventure.
• Aftermarket Wheels–Like those from Method Race Wheels, add a hint of personal style while increasing durability.
• Audio System–Bring your favorite music and podcasts with you on your adventure with a setup like those from BOSS Audio Systems or similar.
• Lighting Systems–Upgraded lighting can help take your night driving to a new level with LED lighting options from reputable brands like Baja Designs and Rigid Industries.
