The Adventurer

All the weaponry for your favorite Secret Agent Man (special effects not included)

“I learned that the richness of life is found in adventure.... It develops self-reliance and independence. Life then teems with excitement. There is stagnation only in security." William Orville Douglas

Have you seen your dad eagerly highlight and dog-ear every page of National Geographic since 1977? Does he have every James Bond film under the sun and all seven “action-packed” seasons of MacGyver? Although we cannot guarantee that he is free from being a bona fide geek, it is evident that he is in need of an adventure. His mind should not be fenced in by a cubicle or computer screen. Help this man you love conquer all terrains (and all evil) with our nifty survival kit.  

1. Tumi Townhouse Medium Esmond Satchel ($595) Checking luggage is a thing of the past and roller bags just don’t give him the style he’s looking for when he’s weekending in the Hamptons. This bag puts both problems on the shelf. 

 2. Leica D-lux 4 ($849) With it’s Carl Zeiss lens, phenomenal low light clarity and dramatically vivid color contrast he’ll be bringing you back more than a tacky t-shirt from his next trip.

 3. Sony Vaio P Series notebook ($899) His personal computer should be an extension of who he is so make it powerful, sleek and, most of all, easy to deal with.

 4. Ultrasone Edition 8 Headphones ($1449) Nothing adds to the stress of a flight like crying babies and snoring passengers. Nothing keeps noise out like Ethiopian sheepskin and symphony quality acoustics. 

 5. Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Bond wears this while he jumps jet skis over yachts in the Mediterranean, dad should wear this because it looks great.  

 6. Paul & Shark ($1,245) Jacket P09P0239 ($249) Shirt  Your traveler needs to be ready for all types of climates at all times, that means weatherproof. Maybe it’s time to upgrade that poncho to something with french seams and water resistant fabric—a nice button-up for all seasons.

 7. Victorinox Swiss Flash ($400) Without this, how is he supposed to file his fingernails, sew and transport documents all in one fell swoop?

 8. Pyrat ($35) XO Reserve Rum Pour this upon his return and watch him reminisce about his night playing baccarat in Monte Carlo, or justwatch him smile because he’s home.
