Gifts for the Fitness Enthusiast: GoLite

There are two different types of fitness enthusiasts: the iPod wearing, heart rate monitoring, flashy shorts and tank top wearing, gym rats (I’m not knocking it, this is me to a T) and then there are those who prefer to hit the great outdoors, sans technology, sans distraction, sans stuff.

GoLite is for the latter. And also for the former, because I love their stuff.

GoLite is a company founded under the principle that less is more: less gimmicks, less footprints, less waste. And through this lack of excess, you experience, you adventure and you sustain.

GoLite is the perfect company for anyone who likes to hit the trails, go camping, back packing, hiking or just likes to experience nature on their own terms.

While GoLite offers a wide variety of backpacking and camping gear, their casual, light weight clothing makes the perfect gift for anyone who likes to walk on the trails from dusk till dawn, or take them as a short cut on their way to Starbucks.

You can’t go wrong with:

TraveLite Tote: The TraveLite tote is made of all recycled materials and its wide straps make even the heaviest loads comfortable. It’s big and roomy, and sleek enough that you can use it as a gym bag, a lunch box, a shopping bag, or your everyday tote.

Black Mountain Thermal Wind Jacket: This lightweight jacket keeps in some serious warmth, making it perfect for jogs on a brisk day. It’s slender fit gives a flattering, modern look that can be worn just as well with jeans.

Cady 2477 Synthetic Vest: Made of recycled polyester, this vest keeps your core warm, while giving you mobility and range of motion. It’s light weight, and fitted, so it can be worn underneath layers comfortably for some serious protection from the cold, or as a top layer when all you need is a little extra insulation where it counts.
