Many of us owe our passion for adventure and the outdoors to our fathers. This Father's Day, what better way to celebrate dad's role in stoking that fire than to fuel his own? The followingÌýcuratedÌýgifts—everything from wooden sunglasses and inflatableÌýSUPsÌýto a minimalist's fly-fishing kit and an electric motorcycle—will do just that.

Motoped Cruzer

​

I’m not exactly a handy guy. Though I compulsively readÌýZen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Robert M. Pirsig’s 1974 existential juggernaut about working through life’s philosophicalÌýcon-undrumsÌýwhile tending to the ailments of an old bike, my fascination never translated into practical knowledge. I can’t even change the oil, let alone replace a carburetor. But the mere sight of an engine triggers some primal urge to pick up a wrench and tinker with it.Ìý

That’s rarely a good idea, unless we’re talking about theÌýMotopedÌýCruzer. Designed to replicate classic motorcycles from the earlyÌý20thÌýcentury, theÌýCruzerÌýcombines a mountain-bike frame with aÌý49ccÌýengine and adds retro details like wood fenders and a leather saddle. The best part: you can assemble it yourself in a long weekend. (You’ll need a Phillips screwdriver, a metric socket set, Allen wrenches, a hacksaw, and a small favor fromÌýa buddy with a steering-headset press.)

The results may lookÌýlike something out of Mad Max, but this bike is built for beach missions. The Cruzer’s tank holds 1.3 gallons, enough to travel 150 miles, and it tops out at 24 miles per hour. Best of all, you don’t have to use the engine; you can rip up and down your favorite coastal roads looking for the perfect beach break, then cut the motor and pedal the bike right onto the sand.

Hydro Flask True Pint

No Father’s Day celebration is complete without a tall,Ìýcool frosty beverage, which is why the Hydro FlaskÌýÌýis the perfect gift for that thirsty man in your life.

ThisÌýspecially engineered, vacuum-insulatedÌýglass keeps aÌýlayer of air between the hand holding the glass and what's inside, helping ensure beer stays cold to the last drop. AÌýstainless steel interior washes clean after use so thatÌýyour beverage won't be affected by theÌýtasteÌýof drinks past.ÌýHydro Flask also engineered the lipÌýof the True Pint to resemble theÌýedge and feel of a traditional EnglishÌýpint glass.

The Hydro Flask True Pint, at less than $25, is so cheap that you should getÌýtwo: one forÌýyour father and one for you to raise a glass together.Ìý

Flowfold Traveler

Filson Leather Notebook Cover and Notebook

In this Digital Age of ours, the concept ofÌýsitting down with a pen in hand to writeÌýon real paper (gasp!) may seem silly and oldÌýfashioned. But people who think that way likely don't have aÌýFilsonÌýÌýto scribble their thoughts in.

Stumptown Coffee Roasters Nitro Cold Brew Coffee

Dad doesn’t have to be a coffee snob to get a buzz fromÌýStumptownÌýCoffee RoastersÌýÌýcoffee. Wrapped in an aluminum can, this thing looks more like a beer than a delicious caffeine-delivery device.Ìý

But there’s a reason for the pop-top can. The Portland, Oregon-basedÌýStumptownÌýCoffee Roasters have cold brewed 11 ounces of black-and-tan goodness for 12 hours and then injected the mixtureÌýwith nitrogen. That infusion creates a foam similar to that ofÌýaÌýGuinessÌýbeer when you pour the creamy, smoothÌýcoffee into a glass.Ìý

The goal: Reactor wanted to make a watch that could withstandÌýbeing shot at withÌýa .22 or the jaws of aÌý300-pound bull shark. With the Titan, theyÌýsucceeded.Ìý
