Whether you’re an avid outdoorsman or simply looking to prepare for an adventure around town, it helps to look at our EDC beyond what we carry in our pack or kit and start to pay attention to our EDC uniform as a whole cohesive unit. Prometheus Design Werx does precisely this, offering exceptional products that range from performance apparel to functional equipment and accessories. In this article, we’ve assembled a rock-solid daily EDC uniform that complements your current EDC gear, offers added protection from the elements, and provides additional ways to customize a loadout that works best for you.
Top: Defiant Hoodie
For those residing in areas where the weather can be unpredictable, a trusty, water-resistant hoodie is a wardrobe staple. PDW’s Defiant Hoodie is an exemplary choice for outdoor enthusiasts, technical fashion-forward individuals, and especially both. It’s made with Schoeller All-Weather material, which prevents water seepage and allows for breathability. The hoodie’s quick-drying feature and protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays make it a versatile all-weather companion. It has four external pockets–two on each body and sleeve–with cord anchors, keeping your belongings safe and secure. The Defiant Hoodie also has zippered internal compartments, keeping your wallet or keys within reach.
Bottom: Raider Field Pant GC T-Fit
The PDW Raider Field Pant GC T-Fit uses industrial-grade construction methods and materials such as heavy-duty nylon threads, extra bar tacks for increased reinforcement, and triple-needle stitching on major seams to ensure versatility and durability without sacrificing style and comfort. Articulated double-reinforced knees provide added protection, while dedicated knife/multitool pockets and no-twist custom D-rings make it easy to bring your essential tools without needing a separate bag or pack.
Backpack: S.H.A.D.O. Pack 24L
Made from Invista CORDURA 500D and custom-milled 140D nylon/spandex, the newly updated S.H.A.D.O. (Suspension, Haul, Access, Durability, Organized) Pack 3.0 is a fully-loaded mid-size daypack designed to withstand a variety of conditions both in and out of the wilderness. Its dual zipper opening gives you direct access to its two compartments, one a full-sized tub, the other for a laptop or a water bladder, so you can organize all your items quickly and easily, even when the pack is laid flat.
It also features convenient mounting points for bike helmets or MOLLE pouches, ample interior zipper pockets for organizing your EDC, a top admin accessory pocket, and dual side stretch water bottle pockets. The S.H.A.D.O. Pack is designed for comfort, too, with a sternum strap ladder, removable and modular padded waist belt, and a ventilated lumbar pad for those long treks.
Knife: SPD Invictus-Bali GID
A knife is often the impetus and foundation of many EDCs, and PDW makes one heck of a statement with their SPD Invictus-Bali GID butterfly knife. It features titanium billet handles with integrated bolsters and Hyper-Glow glow-in-the-dark scales. This balisong is a playful but practical fully-functional knife with a 3.75” Böhler M390 blade. It comes equipped with updated ceramic bearing pivots that let it fly when in use and a titanium spring latch and clip to secure it in your pocket when the job’s done.
Pouch: SPX Pouch
Your mobile phone is an essential part of your daily gear, and the 2nd-generation SPX Pouch is specifically designed to keep your smartphone secure and accessible while on the go. This updated model is designed to fit a variety of today’s most popular phones, with an extra internal divider to store a power bank and a Lowpro accessory pocket to tuck away a charging cable. Everything fastens securely with the Fidlock V-Buckle, allowing you to open and close the pouch easily. Its military-grade 500D CORDURA construction, lined with Flame Orange 140D ripstop nylon, provides added protection against the elements. The back of the SPX Pouch also features an MCA (MOLLE Compatible Array), which works in conjunction with HAL1 Straps to offer horizontal or vertical mounting options, ideal for hiking, climbing, and other outdoor activities.
Organizer: Admin Organizer Size 2 (AO2)
For bringing writing implements or other various tools with you, the Admin Organizer 2 (AO2) packs functionality and organizational ability into a compact, lightweight package not much larger than an average wallet. This drawbridge-type, clamshell organizer boasts a fully loop-lined interior that functions as a blank canvas for PDW’s optional 6×6 Organizer Tiles for full customization. Its MCA (MOLLE Compatible Array) allows you to fasten it securely to any MOLLE system, either with PDW’s HAL1 straps or other compatible third-party straps.
Small Essentials: R.A.P.
The R.A.P. (Random Accessory Pod) is a silicone pod that provides plenty of flexibility and storage for various items that usually find themselves jumbled up at the bottom of your bag: charging cables, earphones, pack towels, or nitrile gloves, for example. The unique front opening means you can simply squeeze open the pod to store your items quickly and easily, while the pod’s MOLLE compatibility allows for even greater organization. Each 3-pack includes one Universal Field Gray, one Glow-in-the-Dark, and one Flame Orange color option, so you’ve got plenty of choices for customization and picking your personal style statement.
