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's prize package was curated to help you enjoy a weekend away.

We’ll run the giveaway for a week. Good luck everyone, and carry on! Congratulations to Anh V., winner of our previous Understated Essentials giveaway.

  • The Rhodes Duffel Weekender Bag by Lo & Sons: This duffel is as efficient as it is handsome, able to fit a week's worth of clothes while weighing only 2.6 pounds. To achieve that weight, it's made from waxed twill and 600d poly. Shoes and other bulky gear can ride in its separate bottom compartment, and once it's all loaded up you can carry comfortably in a variety of configurations. ($400)

  • Wingback Travel Wallet: A minimal version of a traveler's backpocket wallet made with premium leather. It accommodates your passport, travel docs, foreign currency and cards in a slim package so you can travel quick without the bulk. ($100)

  • Tooletries Hard-case Dopp Kit: Designed with the toughness of a toolbox, this hard case stashes and protects your toiletries from the wear and tear of travel and keeps your other essentials protected against leaks. Its removable silicon internal netting keeps your grooming accessories or other small gear in their place. ($40)

  • Aukey Turbo Charger: When you're traveling, you won't always know when you'll find a wall charger to keep your devices powered. A smart turbo charger like this can get you juiced up and ready to go so you can spend more time enjoying your trip and less time waiting for a charge. ($40)

Prize Package Value: $580

Update: This contest has ended! Congratulations to Barclay R, winner of this prize package.
