A coach's gear follows a different pattern than a teacher's: sideline, bus rides, practice in all weather. Durable, weatherproof and portable beats fancy.

About our picks: Coaches work outdoors in all weather, so the pealess whistle, megaphone and sideline jacket are meant for practices and away games. The cooler and clipboard help with water and play-calling once the team is on the field.

Gift tip: Skip anything with a team logo; choose gear that travels with them in a duffel. Buying for a coworker? See coworker gift ideas or Secret Santa ideas.
