Every Father’s Day is the same: You search your mind tirelessly for a gift your dad or husband would really enjoy, but come up empty. He’s not a materialistic guy—he doesn’t crave the finer things in life, just quality time with his family and friends. One thing he does love? A good practical tool or gear hack he can tinker with and show off. Thankfully, Nite Ize exists. With hundreds of items that make life a little easier, we’re every dad’s dream come true.
So, we asked the dads of Nite Ize: What’s your favorite gear hack? Find their answers below — and you might find the perfect gift for him in the process.
As a 25-year resident of Colorado (and someone whose passion for getting outside started in the mid-Atlantic region in the 70’s and 80’s), there are few activities that have not been woven into my life. Be it rock and ice climbing, mountain biking, backpacking, backcountry skiing, fly fishing, camping, etc…there is not enough time in the day (or in the year for that matter) to tackle all that our hearts desire. And speaking of hearts, I had a rather gigantic health scare last year when some routine exams following a yearly physical revealed potentially deadly blockages building up in my arteries that left untreated, likely would have killed me. In April of 2022, at the age of 48, I had a quadruple bypass surgery and set my sights on bouncing back into a life of adventure ASAP. A good buddy of mine proposed the idea of a surgery-versary trip…looking out one year from the surgery and marking the occasion and comeback with a trip.

A garage can be many things. A place to park your car, a storage unit, a spare bedroom for an adult son. For me, it’s a place to work on my vehicles and Nite Ize has some awesome products to help me complete my projects.
When you’re getting ready for the day and leaving your home, what do you bring with you?

If you’ve been following Nite Ize for a while, you probably know how excited we get to tell you all about our brand new products we unveil twice a year. Today is no exception, as our latest innovations are in stock and ready to ship now. Let’s dive in.
