Best hiking gifts for her over $100
Osprey Sirrus 24L hiking backpack
For a sturdy day hiking backpack that will last for a lifetime, Osprey delivers quality with a lifetime warranty so they will either repair or substitute the pack if it gets ripped or torn.
I have been using the Osprey Sirrus 24L for a couple of years and it is absolutely amazing. It fits everything you need for a day hike, short or long. Including a water bladder, extra water bottles, and a whole lot of extra pockets.
But the best feature is the breathable mesh back and the fact that once you put the pack on your back, you don’t feel the weight on your shoulders. It is super and one of the most amazing gifts for hiking women that you can possibly get.
Black Diamond Trekking Poles
These trekking poles are of great quality and might last for years to end. They have comfortable cork grip handles and are easily collapsible to fit into any hiking backpack.
The trekking poles are also easy to adjust to different sizes. While trekking poles are great arm exercise for hikers, they also give support when hiking steeply uphill or downhill, including taking weight off your knees.

If she likes to take videos of her adventures, the camera has a great stabilizator too that will be super handy when walking in rough terrain.
Garmin GPS watch
If she likes to get off the trodden path and loves longer backpacking trips, a GPS watch is a must. This is one of those hiking gifts women that spend a great deal in the outdoors will cherish, while others might think it is more of a hiking gift for men.
Thing is, when your phone’s GPS signals loose connection, this watch is the only thing that will help you navigate.
It is constructed to US military standards so it is shockproof, waterproof, and has all the qualities a hiking GPS watch can possibly need.
Arc’teryx Gamma Pant
High-quality hiking pants are hard to come across and something every hiker cherishes. This pair is comfortable and lightweight.

Anker PowerCore+ 26800 powerbank
A lightweight, portable powerbankis one of the bes hiking gifts for women that go on longer hikes or overnight hikes.
There is nothing like running out of battery on your phone where you might track the route or take photos.
Anker is one of the leading brands in powerbanks for hiking and I wouldn’t want to unwrap any other!
GRAYL Geopress 24oz
One of the best hiking gift ideas for her is a GRAYL Geopress water purifier bottle. This is undeniably one of the handiest things to bring on a hike where there are constant water sources.
It saves you so much weight in carrying water and you can fill up anywhere knowing that the built-in purifier filter eliminates bacteria and viruses from the water.
Especially for waterfall hikes and river hikes, this is a must and I wouldn’t go without it. The filter is also easy to change and get hold of.
Binoculars
A pair of binoculars are popular hiking gift ideas for women who love spotting wildlife, whether it is bird watching or seeing those mountain goats up close.
Besides seeing your target at up to 12x magnitude, you can connect your smartphone to take clear pictures through the lens.
Best hiking gifts for her on a budget (under $50)
Hiking mug
Looking for hiking gifts for her on a budget you can’t go wrong with this cute “Hike More stress Less” mug.
It is lightweight and sturdy so can easily come with her on her hikes and camping trips, but might even turn into a favorite for her morning coffee before heading to work on the weekdays.
Darn Tough Hiking Socks
One of the best useful budget-friendly hiking gifts for her that you can get is a pair of Darn Tough hiking socks.
Being one of the best brands of hiking socks out there, they will last for a long time even though she hikes multiple times a week.
These are moisture-wicking and lightweight with a comfortable cushioning that protects against blistering.
Hiking shorts
When looking for walking gifts for her, a pair of lightweight and quick dry hiking shorts are a super choice.
I particularly love these ones from BALEAF as they have zipper pockets on the sides so nothing falls out of the pockets plus a cargo pocket on the side.
These are excellent shorts for wearing when hiking in the summer as they are so breathable and lightweight, as well as they dry super quickly.
Hiker Hunger Trekking Poles
Trekking poles are always welcome when hiking long-distance or heading out on hard routes. Even the ones who think they won’t use hiking poles start loving them once they try them.
They are great for taking off the weight of your knees and can be helpful to keep balance in uneven terrain. Personally, I was always a hiker who thought I didn’t need any support, but after I bought my first pair, I have taken them on all longer hikes and they are great support, especially on steep hills.
It can be hard to find good quality ones that are affordable, but the Hiker Hunger team has created a top-notch trekking pole that is affordable that I can warmly recommend. You can read my complete Hiker Hunger trekking pole review for more information.
Hiking long-sleeve top
Long-sleeve hiking tops make for fantastic hiking gifts for women whether they usually go hiking in hot weather or they use it to layer up on winter hikes.
This one from BALEAF is a great breathable option that is both moisture-wicking and has UPF 50+ SPF sun protection. It is among the best women’s hiking shirts for hot weather too.
Tank top for hiking
One of the hiker gifts for her that can not go wrong is a tank top for hiking. I love this one from Under Armour as it is versatile and can be used when in the gym or just staying at home too.
It is breathable and has soft material that is comfortable on the skin.
Headlamp
If she is a hiker, chances are that she has and will get stuck on the trail after dark and that she also loves wild camping.
There is no better thing to give her than a headlamp that she can take with her in case of emergency.
I love this one as it is rechargeable and it has different light settings, is waterproof, which means it can be used even when hiking in the rain, and it is lightweight which is crucial for any hiker.
Getting a 2-pack is not stupid, it is actually smart. Trust me. I have hiked solo for years and whenever someone comes with me without being prepared, my spare headlamp has saved many situations.
Hydration Bladder
A hydration bladder is a hiker’s best friend. Avoiding carrying water bottles that you have to take out an in of your backpack is a bliss.
Especially on hot days, it is super comfortable to zip water as you walk without having to stop every 5 minutes.
I recommend getting a 3-liter water bladder to ensure enough water even on longer hikes.
