Experience the wide breadth of holiday gifts for the powersports enthusiast in your life. We have something for every category of powersports equipment, from ATVs (all-terrain vehicles) and UTVs (utility-terrain vehicles), to snowmobiles, jet skis, and the like.
We put this POWERSPORTSiD holiday gift guide together to give you the guidance you’re looking for. Below you will find our suggestions for 10 reasonably priced products that will be certain to provide holiday cheer to the powersports fan on your shopping list.
1. Protective Eye Goggles
Whether a rider is on the ground or on the water, the environment can kick up a lot into one’s face. Protecting the eyes is of paramount importance, and our Powersports Goggles category gives you plenty to choose from. One of our favorite choices are these Bobster Crossfire Goggles. Lenses are coated with an anti-fog treatment and are available in clear, amber, or smoke. The frame is vented and lined with foam to keep out dust and wind, and a handy storage pouch is included in its very attractive price.
2. Flags and Flag Holders
Flying a flag from your powersports machine isn’t only about making a statement. It can equally be about your own visibility to others, helping you to stay safe. Why not combine the two? We have an entire department dedicated to flags, banners, signs, and the posts and mounts to fly them.
We like the selection of flags offered by Rivco, all of which are double-sided. Choose from country flags, military flags, and some of your favorite slogans. These can also make a great stocking stuffer.
3. Action Cameras
Nothing beats the thrills of riding your powersports machine on the water, through the snow, or on the off-road trail. For those who can’t be there with you, recording a video of the ride which can be shared later is the next-best thing.
A great gift can be found among any of the cameras in our Powersports Action Cameras category. One of our favorites is this Bluetooth Camera from Sena. Although it’s listed as a motorcycle camera, it will work on any powersports device. The Bluetooth connection allow instant downloading to your smartphone.
4. Compasses
Riding off the beaten track brings lots of thrills with it, but unlike paved roads, directional signs are few and far between. Something that certainly is not a thrill is getting lost. While we have come to rely on our smart phones for navigation, not every deeply-wooded area has a signal. This is where something like a good old-fashioned compass becomes invaluable. You can find a nice assortment of them in our Navigation System Accessories category.
We like this sport compass from Marlin’s, which has a clamp allowing it to be handlebar-mounted, or anyplace which can accommodate the holder brackets. It has a 2” direct-read high-visibility dial, internal 12V lighting, a sapphire jewel movement, and a high-temperature composite construction.
5. Dry Bags
Whether the Powersports rider on your gift list is riding on dirt, through streams, or across snow, stuff is gonna get dirty, muddy, and wet. Powersports riders have made good use of dry bags to protect items that need to stay dry, and we have an entire category devoted to the topic. A dry bag makes a great gift.
We like the Universal Sahara Dry Duffle Bag from Nelson-Rigg. It has loads of features, including a removal internal stiffener, a quick-release mounting system, 24 oz. 100% waterproof Tarpaulin material construction, an air- and water-tight roll closure, removable and adjustable carry handles, and reflective accents on straps, front and sides of the bag.
6. High-visibility and Neon Riding Jackets
Just like your car has reflectors on it to help it be seen by others, so should your riding apparel when participating in powersports activities. Safety is paramount, and within our Riding Gear Deparment we have a category for “Hi Viz and Neon Jackets”.
We are partial toward the ARC Moto Gear Hornet Men’s Mesh Jacket, so named for its bright yellow and black coloring. The jacket features an outer layer made from abrasion and tear-resistant Polyester 600D mesh fabric, front air ventilation pockets, high-strength stitching, reflective elements on front, shoulder sleeves and back, an inner comfort liner made from breathable polyester mesh, and adjustable straps on waist and cuff for snugness adjustment. The jacket is available in 5 sizes from Small to 2X-Large.
7. Riding Gloves
Any powersports activity requires gloves to protect the hands, and we offer a wide range of gloves for different riding situations. If you’re going for the ARC Moto Gear jackets we’ve recommended above, then you really should go for the matching ARC Moto Gear gloves! They feature the same hi-visibility yellow and black coloring, and also feature a water-resistant leather outer layer, mesh fabric inserts which allow excellent cross-flow, protective reinforcements at the knuckles, palms, and wrists, elastic wrist restraints, adjustable cuff closures, and a moisture-wicking polyester inner lining. Sizing is the same as the jackets: Small through 2X-Lare.
8. Hydration Backpacks
Whether you are on an off-road bike, snowmobile, ATV, or jet ski, it’s all too easy to get dehydrated blasting around all day without taking a break. We have real-world solutions in our hydration packs section, where you’ll find specially-designed backpacks equipped with a water bladder, tube, and mouthpiece enabling the wearer to enjoy hands-free liquid refreshment any time.
This Fly Racing XC100 Hydro Pack would make an excellent gift from this category. It holds a generous 3 liters of liquid, has a bite valve which self-seals after each sip, and includes several compartments for carrying extras.
9. Knee Braces
Knees may have some of the strongest bones in the human body, but that doesn’t mean they don’t need to be protected. Engaging in powersports activities subjects the knees to all kinds of stresses and strains, which is why we have an entire category for knee braces and pads.
These Nucleon Flexpro Knee Protectors from Alpinestars are some of the more affordable choices, yet they get the job done, offering a protective yet comfortable shield for the knees.
10. Off-road Lighting
Your car, truck, and motorcycle all benefit from exterior lighting which performs two functions: it helps you see, and it helps you be seen. You should exercise that same advantage for your powersports machine. Any powersports vehicle could always benefit from additional lighting, and we have you covered with our huge auxiliary lighting department.
Our own in-house lighting brand, Lumen, has these 3" Cube Pod lights, sold as a pair. They feature 20W of power, LED bulbs, and an amber combo beam. The four powerful 5 watt LED chips in each light combined with the latest 4D optic convex lenses produce illumination far superior to ordinary auxiliary lights. The combination of tightly focused spot beams and wide pattern flood beams, enclosed in weatherproof aluminum housings, makes these lights ready for anything. Their compact 3” size means they can be installed just about anywhere. Each pair of lights comes with universal mounting brackets, wiring harness, and illuminated toggle switch.
