1. Garmin Vivoactive 3

Price: €336.00

Pat Divilly Christmas Presents

I picked up a Garmin watch in the lead up to giving my first half Ironman a crack in Barcelona this year! Garmin watches are less bulky than a lot of the other sports watches out there and I find it great for tracking my times and distances particularly in the pool!

2. Salomon Guest Prime GTX Boot Hiking Boots

Price: €170

Pat Divilly Christmas Presents

I’ve brought these boots with me on trips around Ireland and further afield to Everest Base Camp, Kilimanjaro, Elbrus and Machu Picchu. Really comfortable boot and haven’t had a blister in all the time wearing them!

Anyone going on an adventure big or small will appreciate the chance to document it on film and the GoPro cameras make it easy! I’ve tried bringing a big camera on holidays too and it’s just a pain. GoPro in the pocket is an easy option!
