Summer Swag for Outdoor Adventures

Summer is a busy time for promotional marketing campaigns aimed at outdoor enthusiasts. Between BBQs, vacations, camping, hunting, fishing, and spending the day at the local park, there are many summer outdoor activities a canny marketer can capitalize on. Outdoor gifts typically yield high ROIs, as customized products are very much in the public eye and yield high impression rates.

4. The Black Diamond Softshell Jacket by CROWN

The Men's Black Diamond Softshell Jacket by CROWN is Tripler Crown Product’s number one best-selling jacket. This quality crafted jacket is windproof and water-resistant for summer days when the weather threatens rain. The Ladies' Black Diamond Soft Shell Jacket is made to the same exacting criteria and is equally popular. 

5. The Tundra 35 Hard Cooler by YETI

For a customized outdoor gift idea that will see years of use, consider the Tundra 35 Hard Cooler by YETI. Compact enough for one person to carry, the YETI Tundra 35 can hold 21 cans with ice or 26 pounds of ice only. Three-inch insulation keeps contents cold and fresh, while a bear-resistant exterior ensures the cooler can stand up to a beating. 

6. Foldable Slap Sunglasses

Sunglasses are always popular summer swag, but their small size makes them easy to lose. Make sure gift recipients always have some glasses on hand with a pair of Foldable Slap Sunglasses. These handy plastic sunglasses snap around steering wheels or wrists when not in use, just like classic slap bracelets. 

7. Sun Bum Day Tripper Kit

The summer sun has a harsh impact on people’s skin, causing sunburns and increasing the risk of skin cancer. The Sun Bum Day Tripper Kit helps prevent sunburns with SPF 30 Sunscreen Lotion and SPF 30 Sunscreen Lip Balm. If you spend too much time out in the day's heat, the included travel-sized bottle of Cool Down Aloe Lotion helps take the sting out of sun exposure. 

8. The Basecamp Hanging Out Gift Set

Here’s a great outdoor gift idea for people who enjoy lazing away a summer afternoon with a cold drink. The Basecamp® Hanging Out Gift Set includes a 210T nylon/polyester Basecamp® travel hammock and 40 oz. double-wall, vacuum-insulated Mega SP Tundra bottle, both of which can be customized with your logo. 

9. The Long-Sleeve PosiCharge Competitor Tee by SPORT-TEK

No selection of summer swag could be complete without at least one t-shirt. The SPORT-TEK Long Sleeve PosiCharge® Competitor™ Tee and its companion piece, the Ladies PosiCharge® Competitor™ Tee, are lightweight tees made from 100% polyester with moisture-wicking technology to keep the wearer cool and comfortable. 

10. One Liter Thermal Bottle by Columbia

Just because it’s summer doesn’t mean the mornings can’t be chilly. A thermos of coffee or hot soup is really appreciated when you’re fishing in the high country or hunting in the early morning mists. Columbia’s One Liter Thermal Bottle keeps drinks hot for up to twelve hours or cold for up to thirty and includes two drinking cups for you and your outdoor buddy.
