Not sure on this one, depends on the friendship. Sometimes you it can be just as important to be able to accept a gift in good faith as it can be to refuse it. If the motivation of this gift is based in good friendship and wanting to support you on this hike (maybe your friend is genially happy for you) then accept the gift in the spirit in which is it offered.
Sometimes payback is just in the friendship.

Tell him you appreciate the offer but would prefer he just buy a pair for himself and join you on the hike.

If your friend was female and made the same offer, would you accept?
