MecArmy PS14 DCT

You might think any flashlight can work well in your EDC, but not all light is created equal. Depending on your environment, something as subtle as the color of its beam can make all the difference. Cool white LEDs work well in urban settings and are typically more powerful to help outshine competing streetlights. In the outdoors, however, a warmer tint can help you better differentiate the greens and browns in your verdant surroundings. While most lights usually only output one color of light, the MecArmy PS14 stands out with its ability to put out both cool white and neutral white light, covering your bases no matter where you are. Combined with the rest of its EDC-friendly features, it makes a strong case for why two LEDs are better than one.

Look down the business end of the light and you’ll find the stars of the show: two CREE XPL-HD LEDs coupled together. Besides the benefit of having both cool white light and neutral white light at your disposal with this setup, you also get a max combined output of 1200 lumens on Turbo. They’re powered by an included 14500 battery with a convenient micro-USB charging port built right into the cell. The light also accommodates more accessible AA batteries and can achieve a maximum runtime of 25 hours. A stainless steel tail switch controls the PS14’s operation: a full press turns the light on and off, while half presses cycle between the light’s 5 modes. Twisting the head and tightening it swaps between the LEDs, letting you use them independently when you need a specific color temperature.

MecArmy outfitted the PS14 with a slew of EDC-friendly features you’d expect from a modern light as well. Besides its included micro-USB rechargeable battery, it also comes with a wide, removable pocket clip. Its scalloped tail allows for easy button presses without sacrificing tailstand capabilities. Diamond shaped knurling on the midsection of the anodized aluminum body provide ample grip, while finely ribbed texturing on the head helps with twist operation. Lastly, it boasts IPX8 water resistance to stand up to the elements. Check out this versatile light at the link below.

When you’re considering premium materials for EDC, titanium should be near the top of the list.

A Grippy Silicone elastic band helps secure the cards to the frame behind the back-plate, and it also gives you space to carry some folded cash as well. The M1 Ti Bifold wallet variant is paired with a genuine top-grain leather bifold wallet insert and does not add too much bulk to the equation. This Variant levels up to fit up to 13 payment and identification cards or 16 cards without the included MT04 Multi-tool. The M1 Ti Bifold  variant weighs a mere 6.5 ounces fully unloaded. Things become even lighter at just 5.8 ounces in total for the M1 Ti Single Pocket variant.

No matter how you configure the M1 wallet, it comes and works with Dango’s unique and innovative MT04 stainless steel multi-tool. With the MT04, you get 10 different EDC-essential functions including sharpened edges for cutting, a bottle opener, hex wrenches, and a pry tool.

Rogue Industries Front Pocket Wallet

With all their varied shapes and sizes, sometimes getting all our gear, accessories, and apparel to work well together is an exercise in forcing a square peg down a round hole. Take wallets, for example, where the common rectangular shape is meant to fit a rectangular pocket, and for many pants—especially the front pocket of jeans—the shape doesn’t quite line up. To solve this square wallet, round pocket dilemma, Rogue Industries produced and patented their Front Pocket Wallet. With its unique shape, premium materials, and US-made construction, the wallet provides a sleek and comfortable option for your everyday essentials.

A smooth, rounded edge gives the Rogue Front Pocket its distinct form factor. The design allows the wallet to sit flush against the rounded contour of its namesake, your front pants pocket. The shape, paired with a 0.25“ thickness, gives it a slim and discreet profile, minimizing bulge while maximizing its utility. It’s compact at 5” x 3.4“ and lightweight at only 1.6 ounces, making it a solid EDC option.

You have the option of two designs for your Front Pocket: 6 slots that can hold up to 12 cards, or 3 slots that hold 6 cards along with an ID window on the right panel, with the billfold and stash pocket up top. Either option can be made from your choice of American Bison or Moose Leather. Wallets from the Bison and Moose collections in particular are made in Maine, USA, to boot. Both materials have exceptional durability that will develop a patina unique to its user over time, with the added bonus of RFID protection.
