Every year, new stuff comes out, this never changes. Technology get faster, more expensive, gear gets lighter, and more colorful.
Gear Patrol does a great job at finding all these. For Fathers day, they put a list together that is quite reasonable.
Ibex Pulse Short
For $68 this is a great deal and a piece of equipment that will last well beyond the sneakers he got last week. They have a merino wool liner that is bacteria resistant, breathable and moisture wicking.
