Every day, readers like you proudly share their daily carries to the site. When you see something awesome in an EDC photo and click on it, you’re also letting other EDCers know you find that gear interesting. The most popular gear that get the most views and clicks climb their way to the top of the product feed on the right hand side of the homepage for the community to know what’s trending.
In this gear roundup, I’ll be highlighting some of the noteworthy essentials that topped the list this past (extra long) February. But a quick note before we begin…
The following list is not an exact top 10 ranking from the data. I filtered out some of the usual suspects you probably already know. I’ve picked a balanced variety of gear from the top 25 spots on the list worth checking out. So, what EDC was most popular? Let’s find out…

If you’re like many discerning EDCers, you might look for two qualities in your gear: portability and functionality. So when you carry plenty of compact essentials to cover your bases, an organizer like this becomes quite compelling. The Maxpedition Mini is a go-to for EDCers with fuller kits, nabbing the 8th spot in February’s trending gear list.
Herschel Supply Co. Charlie Wallet

Used by over 30 EDCers
Coming in at 9th most-clicked from the month is this affordable, widely available, and hip minimalist wallet. It’s popular especially with students and young professionals, commonly seen in good company with other essentials on this list.
Jake Hoback Kwaiback
As seen in: Work Pocket Dump from Elden V, a heavy equipment operator in Pennsylvania
This beautiful knife from Jake Hoback had readers drooling over its clean lines and anti-bling materials, securing 11th place on the list. It’s no impulse buy, that’s for sure, but your money’ll get you a well-engineered titanium framelock flipper knife to carry for life.
Olight S1 Baton Copper
As seen in: My 2016 EDC from Bard, a computer technician in Norway
Used by 5 EDCers
Maybe it’s because of its eye-catching copper finish. Maybe it’s because it’s smaller than most lights you’ve probably seen before. Or maybe it’s just because this cutting edge light has some of the best features and performance currently available. Whatever the reason, readers found this light interesting enough to place it at spot #18 on the list.
Kershaw Shuffle 2

Used by over 20 EDCers
This handy EDC knife came in at 19th place, appealing to EDCers with its rugged appearance, unique blade shape and grip texture, and added functionality in its integrated bottle opener handle. The best part? Its excellent value and affordable price.
