Finding the perfect gift is easy when you have friends and family on your list who like to pair adventure with classic, outdoor fashion. Since its debut in 1973, Timberland’s iconic waterproof yellow boots have been a go-to for hardworking and hard-hiking individuals alike, thanks to their rugged but timeless aesthetic.
This holiday season, Timberland has made it extra easy to give the gift of weather-ready style and function, whether you’re looking for high-quality warmwear, comfortable sneakers, or town-to-trail boots. Here are five surefire picks.
Women’s Anorak Jacket
Pulling off an oversized look is an art, but Timberland’s Anorak Jacket makes it look like a cinch. Its fit not only looks great over whatever you layer underneath—a flannel button up, merino wool layer, or a chunky sweater—but it also keeps you plenty warm as temperatures drop. The coat is 100 percent nylon and water-repellent, making it breathable and functional in all conditions. Plus, the insulation is made from environmentally-responsible recycled polyester.
The Anorak Jacket incorporates a convenient kangaroo pocket and three-snap closure on the front, mimicking and melding a couple of classic looks—a cozy sweatshirt and the ever-popular three-quarter zip. Available in three heritage colors—white, black, and dark rose—this coat easily alternates from a hike to happy hour.
Women’s Motion Access Mid Lace-Up Waterproof Hiking Boot
The shoe-boot is a hot topic among style-watchers for fall and winter. While much more boot than shoe, this waterproof hiking boot fits the same demand for a functional, yet stylish, look. Just like the Anorak Jacket, it’s perfect to pair with your wide-legged corduroys to catch up with friends over a hot toddy or with your best waterproof pieces for a snowy day-hike.
This boot incorporates sustainable attributes like a fabric lining from 50 percent recycled plastic for breathability and comfort. Like all of Timberland’s leather, these boots support the responsible processing of leather through Timberland’s involvement with the Leather Working Group, a community that supports and encourages responsible leather production.
Men’s Benton Waterproof 3-in-1 Jacket
Remember the detachable fleece liners from your childhood? Timberland gives them a nod and an update with a better-than-before design. Timberland’s Benton Waterproof Jacket offers extra warmth with its removable fleece inner and outstanding waterproofing with fully sealed seams. Thanks to the DWR coating, the water droplets just roll right off. As the name suggests, this jacket gives you three versatile style options. On chilly days, zip together the waterproof outer and fleece. During more mild weather, you might separate the two, sporting only the fleece or shell.
With a Timberland logo on the left breast pocket and an embroidered tree in the center back, the Benton Jacket—available in black and a warm tan referred to as chocolate chip—is going to look great over whatever you’re wearing and with pretty much any pant or shoe (especially the Timberland low sneaker and waterproof hiking boot).
Men’s Mt. Maddsen Mid Lace-Up Waterproof Hiking Boot
Now these are no boot-shoes—these are all boot. Designed with mountains in mind, the Mt. Maddsen has some key features to keep you out on the trails. A fully gusseted tongue keeps debris out, and the TimberDry waterproof membrane keeps your feet shielded in rain and snow. And for extra—and crucially important—comfort, an anti-fatigue footbed and compression-molded EVA midsole provide responsive cushioning no matter how technical the trail gets. The fabric lining is made from 50 percent recycled PET and a rubber lug outsole wraps into some rugged grip underneath the boot.
Even with all the trail-ready tech, these boots—offered in black and beige—win major style-points. Pair them with the Benton Waterproof 3-in-1 Jacket, and you’ve nailed the effortless mountain town look.
Men’s Motion Access Low Lace-Up Sneaker
On the days when you’re strolling pavement in lieu of the trails, Timberland’s Motion Access Low Lace-Up Sneaker is the right choice. It’s got its own comfort features and a TimberGrip lug outsole designed for superior traction. The upper is made from premium, responsibly-made leather and ReBOLT fabric, which is made with at least 50 percent recycled plastic.
The sneaker’s low-cut design gives you a comfortable range of motion, and the sneaker comes with a removable, contoured sockliner. With a collection of two-tone designs ranging from a vibrant grey with orange to a clean taupe with white, you’re guaranteed to find something that fits your palate preference.
Since 1973, Timberland’s focus on iconic style, eco-conscious innovation and outdoor performance has resulted in boots, clothing and outerwear built for bold adventures and hard work. Our products empower you to take anything on—whether you’re going hiking, exploring the city or clocking in with ultra-durable Timberland PRO® workwear.
