Gifts Over $100

• Solo Stove Lite and Pot 900

ADVMoto got to test the Solo Stove Lite this year at numerous rallies, using it to cook meals and make coffee. It uses bio fuel, such as twigs and bark, instead of gas canisters, meaning you can cook almost anywhere. It’s well designed and the kit packs small enough to bring, whether or not you think you’ll need it. Solo Stove also makes bigger kits, but we’ve enjoyed the portability of the Solo Stove Lite.

• Hand Out Pro Glove

A problem we found while shooting on group rides was the hassle of taking on and off gloves to use our cameras. We learned about Hands Out while watching Shark Tank (we love that show!) and immediately contacted the company to test them out. These full length gauntlets will keep your hands warm, but a strategically placed waterproof zipper allows your hands to slip out easily. The finger portion of the glove can be flipped back and held to the wrist with a built in strap. The Hand Out Pro Gloves will keep you warm and work in almost any situation where any type of glove would be too restricting. Stay tuned for our full review, coming soon! MSRP: $125 HandOutGloves.com | Also available on Amazon.com (Affiliate).
