Well then, this article is meant just for you. Read on about some of the most expensive outdoor sports equipment that you can buy if you inherit a large property suddenly or maybe win the lottery.
The Most Expensive Sunglasses on The Planet
If you have ever been on an adventurous trip outdoors you must know what great importance outdoor sunglasses hold on such trips. If you are wondering about which is the best, highly sought and most expensive outdoor pair of sunglasses in the world, well, it is the Elite C Six sunglasses by Oakley’s and they cost just north of $4000.
These glasses are expensive mostly because of the fact that they are made entirely out of carbon-fiber and use the latest High-Definition Optics (HDO) technology in their lenses. This technology allows the consumer to see much clearer and sharper images while also preventing any dust, moisture or pollen from sticking on the lenses.
So, if you ever win the lottery and feel like upgrading your outdoor kit, this is the first thing that you should be opting for.
Wenger’s Swiss Army Knife
Priced at $4000, this swiss army knife is a priced possession for every outdoor junkie. With its 10 inches width and 2-pound heft, this knife has earned a spot in many collector’s kits. The Wenger’s Swiss Army Knife features a whooping 87 folding tools, including but not limited to files, corkscrews, blades, screwdrivers and just about everything else that you could imagine useful on an outdoors trip.
The Butterfly Trek Madone
When it comes to bicycles, it might blow a lot of people’s minds that an outdoor bicycle could possibly cost $500,000 but with the Butterfly Trek Madone, one can actually justify this price.

Initially ridden by Lance Armstrong in the Tour de France back in 2009, this bike was then auctioned off at $500,000 after the famous British artist, Damien Hirst made into the spectacular piece of art which it is today. So, one can quite easily say that this bike truly is one of its kind and if ever given the opportunity, we suggest you definitely try and get your hands on it.
