CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE: THE EXPLORER

Whether trekking through the Amazon or traversing a cliff-face, the explorer is always looking for a new adventure and the harder it is, the better. Unlike the jet setter, who is more at home in 5 star accommodation, the explorer likes to find things off the beaten track and is as comfortable skiing off piste as he is sailing the atlantic – as long as there’s plenty of adrenaline, he’s there! Take your pick from a few of these stylish gift ideas….
