The performance clothing made by RailRiders was something founder John d’Arbeloff dreamed up almost 20 years ago, when he was part of a ship’s crew during a 24-hour yacht race, working in “soaking-wet canvas pants that chafed our legs and refused to dry.” Youch! As he puts it, the fast-drying, skin-shielding clothes he’s designed, “were born at sea, but they’re ready for anything.”

Their Equator HT Shirt is no exception. It’s a hardworking shirt with built-in UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) and insect protection. It wicks away sweat and moisture, and has side vents to keep the wearer cool and breezy. Of course, it’s been road-tested by hardcore adventurers, but we think it would be a smart buy for any outdoor-loving dad. With four colors to choose from and five sizes (from S to XXL), it’s easy to pick out the perfect gift.

(Thanks to Pam Lacey—one of RailRiders’ three employees—for tipping us off about this company’s most excellent gear.)
