Need a breath of fresh air? Resolve to get out more next year, and add these 11 outdoorsy gifts to your list:

1. STERIPEN ULTRA, $99.95

Instead of pumping water through a filter, purify it with a blast of ultraviolet light. SteriPEN’s lamp destroys 99.9 percent of the bacteria and viruses that cause water-borne illnesses. It can treat 8,000 liters of water before the lamp becomes ineffective, and if you manage to reach that number, the company will buy you a new pen.

4. ABOM ZERO-FOG GOOGLES, $249

At the top of the mountain, the combination of your warm face and cold air means instant goggle fog. Abom’s KLAIR technology uses heat-conductive film to keep fog at bay while you ski or snowboard, no wiping necessary. The goggles charge with a micro USB cable with a charge lasting up to six hours if you keep it on all day, or up to a week if you only turn them on as-needed. They’re a little pricey, but it might be worth it considering the extra time you’ll be able to pick up on the slopes.
