Dec. 9, 2011— -- No one's harder to shop for than guys, but "Good Morning America's" Gift Survival Guide has got you covered with gift ideas for the athletic man in your life.

ESPN The Magazine Senior Editor Joel Weber appeared on "Good Morning America" today with some of the hottest gifts for sporty guys this holiday season.

1. Oakley Airbrake Goggles, $220

The Switchlock Technology feature sets these goggles apart from the pack, allowing you to change your lenses quickly and easily in changing light conditions.

2. REI Trapper Hat, $34.50

With polyester fleece lining on the inside, and wool on the outside, this hat is worthy of frigid Arctic weather or a New Year's Day polar bear dip in the lake. The fancy chin strap and earflaps with soft faux fur doesn't hurt either.

3. Beats by Dre, $180-$350

Most headphones cannot reproduce the sound and music the way top artists and producers want to hear it. These can. This particular model is called "Studio," meaning they have precision-engineered, advanced speaker design, power amplification, and powered noise cancellation so you can hear your tunes as they were meant to be heard.

4. Nike Method Core Drone Putter, $200

This putter's gigantic pronged head spreads its mass over a large area, which helps golfers stabilize their putts. The result is a steadier stroke and one less excuse when you still miss your putt.

5. The Grid Foam Roller, $40

Owning a foam roller is like having your very own personal masseuse on stand-by. Athletes use them to alleviate sore muscles and tight limbs as well as increase their mobility; they're also good for fighting pesty kinks and strengthening your core so that you have abs of steel. This particular one is called The Grid; it's stiffer than most foam rollers because of its plastic tubing, which also means it's more painful -- and effective.
