Warm, waterproof commercial-grade wellies for farm visits and muddy yards. Check their shoe size before buying.
Winter training usually means some runs in the dark. Petzl's Actik Core is a rechargeable head torch with a red light mode, so they won't dazzle other people, and a reflective headband that helps them stay visible. It runs on Petzl's Core rechargeable battery and suits anyone who runs before or after work.
Stanley's 1 litre vacuum flask keeps drinks hot or cold for up to 24 hours, which covers a long day on the plot. It's tough enough to live in the shed.
Without hair for insulation, a bald head gets cold fast in winter. Carhartt's A18 is the classic rib-knit watch beanie with a fold-up cuff and the Carhartt patch on the front. It's warm, tough and goes with everything, which is why it's been a favourite for years.
Most mechanics wear through gloves fast, so a fresh pair of Mechanix is always welcome. The Original has a thin synthetic leather palm that keeps feel for small bolts, a breathable mesh back and a hook-and-loop cuff. It works with a touchscreen, so they can scroll a wiring diagram without taking it off, and it goes in the washing machine.
Anyone who still plays will know the pain of caked-on mud in the studs. The Bootclaw is a pocket-sized claw that rakes mud out of rugby and football boots without hunting for a stick. It's made in Britain, it won an award for British-made sports gadgets, and it's cheap enough for a stocking.
A large stainless steel vacuum flask with a carry handle and a pour-through cup lid. It keeps drinks hot or cold for a full day.
A wide-neck food flask that keeps soup or porridge hot for hours. It includes a spoon in the lid.
Farmers work outdoors in all weather, so the best gifts for farmers keep them warm, dry and able to see. Wellington boots, gloves and a warm hat get daily use, and a head torch helps with early starts and late finishes. A flask keeps tea hot in the cab. Check boot sizes before buying footwear.
We picked each product for what farmers enjoy and because it makes sense as a present. The order is our own choice. The pros and cons come from published product details, not customer reviews.
