Military kit makes good stocking fillers because it was designed to be used hard. Everything below is under £20, and most of it will still be going strong next Christmas.
Hats
- The olive green boonie hat: folds into a pocket, ideal for fishing, festivals and the garden.
- The Swedish M59 field cap: a proper ex-army cap with a lot of character.
- A German army fleece-lined "dog hat" with ear flaps, for the coldest mornings.
- A military-style peaked jeep cap, warm and easy to wear.
Warm and dry
- Extreme cold weather arctic socks: thick, warm and built for winter.
- Army green long johns for anyone who works outdoors.
- A cotton shemagh scarf, as useful as a scarf, a sun shade or a dust mask.
For the camper
- The 58 pattern mug that fits around a British water bottle.
- A pair of Swiss army billy cans for brews and cooking on the trail.
For the gym
- PTI training socks, made for the forces' own instructors.
- The red and black PTI snake belt, a favourite with anyone who has done basic training.
