As the season changes into fall, it’s the perfect time to review and re-assess your everyday carry. The weather is starting to get colder, you’re starting to dress warmer, and that means more pockets that let you store and keep your gear handy. With that in mind we’ve put together a list of both fresh releases and tried-and-true EDC essentials you can add to your fall loadout, covering your bases from your pockets to your pack.
Dango MC01 Titanium Money Cli
While Dango understands that minimalist wallets are on the rise thanks to the increasing popularity of credit cards and contactless payment, they also know that cash is still a day to day reality for many. The MC01 Titanium Money Clip is a dedicated storage option for securely carrying your cash while remaining as thoughtful, lightweight, and resilient for EDC as the rest of their offerings. Thanks to titanium’s springy properties, the clip can expand to carry up to 50 bills or shrink to carry just one without losing its shape. But if all that space isn’t enough, you can also opt to add a silicone band, giving you extra space for about 30 extra bills or 10 plastic cards.
Glow Rhino Tritium Glow Fob
The best EDC gear is the gear you have on you. But when darkness falls, sometimes it can be hard to find the tool you need at a glance. That’s where the extra visibility of a Glow Rhino Tritium Glow Fob shines. It’s a small, lightweight key fob containing a vial of tritium—a material that glows in the dark for over a decade, without needing to be charged by an external light source or the sun. The fob is available in durable materials like CNC-machined steel or titanium, and sports a glass breaker tip on the end for added utility in emergency situations. Attach it to your keys, bag, or other gear, and you’ll be prepared even when the lights go out.
G-SHOCK “Master of G” Series
Part of their “Master of G” series, both the MUDMASTER, GGB100 and the GRAVITYMASTER, GRB200 have been updated to provide you with even more functionality while retaining G-SHOCK’s legendary toughness. Both watches feature quad-sensor technology, boasting an on-board altimeter/barometer, thermometer, compass and accelerometer. As far as time-keeping functions go, they both include a two-year battery for minimal maintenance, a Super LED light for low-light legibility, 5 alarms settings, stopwatch functionality, and much more. These watches not only track time, but can also even connect to your phone via Bluetooth for daily tracking functions like a steps counter, calorie calculator, a mission log function, and phone finder, just to name a few. Both the GGB100 and GRB200 feature an extra-resilient construction including a carbon core guard structure along with a carbon fiber insert bezel. The MUDMASTER is mud resistant and the GRAVITYMASTER features an aviator-inspired design as each of their model names would indicate.
Inforce TFx Flashlight
With a rugged but lightweight reinforced polymer body that offers high-impact resistance and extreme durability, the Inforce TFx flashlight aims to strike a balance between performance and resilience. This isn’t your everyday aluminum flashlight—the TFx instead makes use of its more flexible polymer body to add some unique touches, like large, heat-dissipating vents for improved temperature management and a deep, textured knurling to provide superior grip. A rubber tail switch controls its two main modes—700 lumens for 2 hours and 60 lumens for 12—along with momentary and strobe functions to round out its outputs. And even when carrying its 2 x CR123A batteries, the TFx weighs only 3.75 ounces, making it a lightweight and powerful addition to any EDC.
Black Ember SHADOW 26
Waterproofness can be the deciding factor when choosing a bag for your everyday carry, especially when you factor in the value of your expensive electronics like your laptop, tablet, and camera. But you don’t need a big, bulky bag or have to sacrifice features for peace of mind thanks to the EDC enthusiasts over at Black Ember. Minimalistic, waterproof and modern, their SHADOW 26 gives you both the organization and the durability you need in a bag to keep your gear protected, rain or shine. Aside from 26L of space divided into multiple parts of the bag, the main compartment features a built-in tech kit with 6 different pockets, secured by a magnetic buckle to keep smaller essentials in check. To round out its waterproof construction, the SHADOW 26 uses both YKK Aquaguard zippers as well as their proprietary BOND-STITCH construction.
Recycled Firefighter
Recycled Firefighter wallets are proudly made in the USA from recycled vinyl tarp that a fire hose is made from, so you know it’s durable enough for EDC. Because the material is repurposed, each wallet comes with its own wear pattern and battle scars so know you’re getting a one-of-a-kind product. “The Sergeant” is the original front pocket wallet from Recycled Firefighter that carries between 4-8 cards. Recycled Firefighter also features a men’s bifold (“The Captain”), a front pocket bifold (“The Rookie”), and a traditional bifold (“The Lieutenant”), so no matter which way you like to carry your wallet, there’s a Recycled Firefighter wallet that’ll fit the bill and stand the test of time.
Deejo MyDeejo Custom Knife
Whether you prefer to keep your loadout lightweight, appreciate timeless design, or love to customize your gear to be one-of-a-kind, look no further than a MyDeejo custom knife from Deejo. Their online customization tool lets you pick out every detail of the knife from its handle materials, blade finish, and decorative blade embellishments.

BOLDR Supply Co. Venture Wayfarer
Back in the day, 24-hour sub-dial watches were popular amongst miners, submariners, explorers and all kinds of professionals with jobs that couldn’t rely on the sun to tell the time. BOLDR Supply Co.’s Wayfarer watch pays tribute to those classic watches with a modern twist, boasting a 24-hour subdial in a tough-yet-light 38mm titanium Venture case. A Japanese automatic movement powers the main dial, sub-dial, and date window.

If your lifestyle falls outside the usual day/night cycle that most people operate on, the Wayfarer is a solid option.

Shorter days and darker nights mean it’s a good time to make sure you’ve got a proper flashlight handy. The Streamlight Pocket Mate boasts a unique, compact design that you can clip to a hat or clothing for hands-free illumination in a pinch without needing a cumbersome headlamp or additional hardware. The bright white LED delivers up to 325 lumens on high, throwing out to 76 meters thanks to its smooth reflector. When you don’t need that much power, a general use Low mode delivers 45 lumens to 28 meters for an hour of continuous use. Because it’s designed to handle the brunt of everyday carry, the Pocket Mate boasts a machined aluminum housing with impact resistant polycarbonate and an IPX4 weather resistance rating.
Ridge Wallets
The Ridge Wallet has become a staple in the minimalist wallet community in the past few years, and it’s easy to see why. Compared to a traditional leather wallet, the Ridge is durable, pocket-friendly, and available in tons of different configurations, finishes, and materials to suit your taste. Take one of the best-selling “Forged Carbon” wallets for example, a Ridge Wallet made from carbon fiber, designed to keep you EDC even lighter than usual with a subdued aesthetic that has just the right amount of visual interest thanks to carbon fiber’s unique patterning. Ridge’s top selling wallet of 2021, the ”Forged Ember,“ takes this a step further with red speckles that mimic the look of volcanic ash, giving you a pop of color inspired by a force of nature. Or if you’re more of an outdoors person, you’ll appreciate the 2020 best-selling ”Topographic” wallet for its patterning that features the topography of popular American landmarks.
