Who else loves free EDC gear? Every week or so, we'll be giving away prize packages full of interesting gear we get our hands on, or very special single item prizes for you to win!

This week, we're giving away one of the best duffel bags we've ever handled. It's a performance-driven modern update to the standard issue duffel, drawing some vintage military design for its inspiration. We're tossing in a few other gadgets like a keychain pen, a beard comb multitool, and a sturdy kubotan to sweeten the deal.

We’ll run the giveaway for a week. Good luck everyone, and carry on!

Make sure you're logged in, then head over to our giveaway page for your chance to win the following:


  • Able Archer Duffel Bag: A thoughtfully designed, well-executed take on the duffel bag. Able Archer seriously went to work on this bag, jam packing all kinds of features and details to let you transport your cargo efficiently. To get a sense of their craftsmanship, see our review on their messenger bag. ($400)

  • Keychain Beard Comb + Bottle Opener: A small way to keep your beard in check, or to pop open a drink after a long day.
  • NiteIze Inka Mobile Pen+Stylus: An easy, lightweight solution for phone and tablet work or quick jotting on the go.
  • Darrel Ralph Kubotan:A well-built, sturdy gadget for poking, prodding, or attaching to keys. ($39)

Prize Package Value: $440+

Question: I shared on FB, twitter, and email (thinking I needed all 3 for additional entries) but never noticed the update of additional entries - why? Do I still get credit? :(
Bernard Capulong ·
Hi Danielle, you'll be rewarded additional entries if one of your friends signs up through your shared links. I hope that clears things up! Best of luck and thanks for participating

Oh man, this is the *perfect* duffel for my work travel. Here's hoping! Oh, and excellent contest as always!
Brent Reed ·
Super great bag! How often do you guys do drawings / give-aways?
Bernard Capulong ·
We've been pretty good about putting together a decent prize every Friday afternoon for the past two months, but it's not an *official* frequency. We're trying to work with cool, smaller brands with underrepresented products to keep this going consistently — if we can't get a giveaway running we'll have other cool content in its place until the next one.
Ron Walsh ·
I would love to add this to my collection. I'm headed out on vacation in August, so this would be a great carry on. Thanks for the opportunity.
