Best Gifts for Rowers

 

ROWING JEWELRY

 

We asked our friends at Rubini Jewelers to make us some special pieces that would celebrate the indoor rower on your list. We’re biased, of course, but these are some of our favorite gifts for rowers!

 

1. Erger Pendant

 

This raised, sterling silver pendant is another UCanRow2 exclusive design. Make your allegiances known to the world: Shout it from the rooftops, “Indoor rowing is MY sport!”

2. Erg Flywheel Post Earrings

 

These iconic, classic circle stud earrings are a must-have! Designed for us exclusively by Rubini, these sterling silver, flywheel-inspired earrings are subtle, but will catch the eye of all your erging friends, who will instantly be in on the joke.

 

Want them as dangles? Or cufflinks? Rubini can do that too! Drop them an email at info@rubinijewelers.com and ask. Tell them we sent you!

4. Erg! Bars

Could there be a more perfect snack for an indoor rower?? We think not!

 

Bonus, these energy bars taste delicious! They’re also minimally processed and nutrient-dense, pretty much the perfect snack for your next Hour of Power erg session.

 

12 flavors to choose from! (A favorite: Apricot P’Butter.)

 Buy it now!

 

GEAR

 

 

It’s so hard to pick a favorite here. We love so many fitness apparel brands (Athleta especially!), but the gear from JL Athletics that’s made by rowers, for rowers, is hard to beat. Here are our go-tos. 

 

 

6. Compression Wick Trou

 

 

Moisture-wicking compression shorts are our go-to shorts. Basic but super comfortable, durable and affordable.

We LOVE Athleta tights too, but these last better than anything.

 Buy it now!

 

7. The Fat Ergos Collection 

 

 

If the erg is your jam, is there really any other way to play? We especially love these shorts that are festooned with ergs (especially because the seat is double-lined to protect your back end during those long erging sessions). They’ve got other styles, too, including unis. Dress it up for your next 2k race!

Buy it now!

 

 

 

8. Vertical Houndstooth Comfy Tights

 

 

These tights are so comfy; you won’t want to take them off.

 

Perfect if you row in the garage or anywhere else that’s chilly.

 

High-performance knit with a cotton-comfy stretch is designed for comfort and durability.

 Buy it now!

 

9. Women’s Polyrpro Erg Trou

 

 

 

Dreaming of a longer erg short with a yoga-style waistband (no drawstring)?

You’ll love this soft and flexible construction.

 But it now!

 

10. Tablet Mount for Indoor Rower

 

 

 

If you know a Concept2 rower who likes to watch movies or do online workouts while they row (or BikeErg), this might be JUST the thing to put under their tree!

No more propping the iPad up on a random collection of boxes and books and hoping against hope it doesn’t fall over on your next power 10!

 Buy it now!
