ML staff and partners offer a cornucopia of gift ideas for active moms into all-weather shredding.
MEC Ultra Lite Chair
This comfy and compact chair folds into a zippered carry bag for easy transpo for camping trips or hikes to mom’s picnic spot. Don’t let the lightweight package fool you, though—the aluminum frame is also mighty enough to support up to 113kg (249 lbs). The tough, PU-coated polyester seat material has a DWR finish, meaning it sheds water and is easy to clean. And the stable legs play well with a variety of surfaces.
MiiR New Standard Moka Pot
If mom loves coffee, she’ll love this tier-one Moka Pot. In a camp or home kitchen, this high-quality stainless steel number makes a superior cuppa. The method is time-tested and unimprovable: Add water, finely ground coffee and heat, and the New Standard Moka pot will brew you a delicious cup of espresso-strength coffee. It’s safe for use on camp stoves and induction, gas and electric stove tops; the handle and top knob are made out of recycled materials. MiiR is a certified B Corp, meeting the highest standards of social and environmental impact.
Smartwool Trail Run Sunset Trail Crew Socks
The key to a well-tuned trail run? Better running socks. The Trail Run Targeted Cushion Sunset Trail Crew Socks are designed with a performance-oriented, stay-put fit, along with Smartwool’s Virtually Seamless toe for enhanced comfort. Breathable and durable, with a lightweight feel on your feet, they’re designed for however far or how hard you run.
ML Skadi Ceramic Mug
Start your mornings right—with Skadi, a Norse ski goddess who howls with the wolves, hunts with a bow, drinks vodka with glacier chips and once stormed the home of the gods to demand revenge for her murdered father. If that spirit, imbued in each Mountain Life Skadi Ceramic Mug, doesn’t start mom’s workday off right… nothing will. There’s also a poster. Custom artwork by Mountain Lifer artist Stu Mackay-Smith. $5 of Every Skadi product sold will be donated to our local chapter of Protect Our Winters.

RUX Bag
From the trailhead to the grocery store, RUX bags offer unbeatable durability and design. This versatile, easy-to-pack-‘n-grab 25L bag nests inside the RUX 70L, conveniently dividing up your storage space. It’s the bag that won’t quit—handy for everyday use from the market to the campsite. Two fit inside one RUX 70L. RUX is a Canadian company based in Squamish, BC.
MEC Fulcrum PFD
The Fulcrum is a well-priced, tough-built, general-purpose paddling PFD that can adapt to a variety of body shapes. It delivers dependable comfort and thoughtful design for paddlers and boaters—without making waves in your bank account. Though designed for the comfort of female paddlers, men can wear it too. The front foam panels are split with a horizontal hinge point, and the high waist back minimizes ride-up on kayak cockpits (smart!). And with adjustable sides/shoulders—and front zippered pocket with key keeper, multi-tool attachment point and reflective piping for night visibility—the Fulcrum is optimized for all-day comfort and safety.
