I wanted to put together this collection of everyday carry items for you gentlemen today, a collection of my favorites so far this Summer. Each of these items is built to improve your daily life from start to finish. You can pick and choose your favorite gear, gadgets, and accessories by following any of the links throughout this article.

First up today is the Lum-Tec M88 Watch which is truly a perfect everyday timepiece. You can dress this up and wear it with a suit or dress it down and wear it with shorts and a polo. This watch is powered by a Swiss-made Ronda 515 movement and has an anti-shock movement mounting system that’s protected by curved sapphire glass with military-grade AR coating. It is water-resistant up to nearly 1,000-feet and only 500 of these watches were released worldwide so it’s quite rare.

Here we’ve got the Greats Royale Knit Sneakers which have a retro design made with modern sustainability in mind. The breathable knit upper made from upcycled water bottles and the custom natural rubber outsole with GREATS tread pattern offers comfort all day long. You can rock these with shorts, jeans, or chinos anytime.

For this ‘Naturdays’ shirt, Tropical Bros teamed up with Natural Light for a limited-edition release. This shirt has a moisture-wicking outer shell, wooden buttons, a front pocket, and it’s made with a custom ‘super stretch’ Hawaiian fabric. This is a perfect party shirt all year long, ideal for everything from tailgating to hitting up the outdoor tiki bar to cruising around on the boat or just relaxing on the couch.

Go ahead and pair that shirt with the Wellen Cruiser Hybrid Short – 7.5″ which come in four different colorways. These are made from a quick-dry stretch material built with all-day comfort in mind. These are meant to be a hybrid between swim shorts and everyday shorts and they strike that balance perfectly.

Here we have the Wood Visor Freshener from Drift, a really cool product that’s only $8 and it is something you probably never realized you need until you discovered it exists. This is a high-quality block of sustainably-sourced cedar wood that has been soaked in essential and fragrance oils to deliver real scents (not chemicals). The Drift Wood Visor Freshener has a balanced scent profile of dark rum, caramel, allspice, plum, and clove. At only $8 this is an absolute steal and one of the cooler products I’ve come across so far in 2020.

Next, we’re looking at the SOG Knives Aegis AT Pocket Knife for everyday carry. The D2 stainless steel blade measures 3.45-inches and is cryogenically heat-treated for world-class edge retention and durability. This lightweight and long-lasting knife fits comfortably in your pocket or on your belt and is perfect for everyday use.

The Billykirk No. 397 Slim Card Case is currently on sale for $43 instead of $69. This wallet’s made right here in the USA and has two slots for cards and your ID along with a main central slot for cash and additional cards.

The Mehlville by The James Brand is a dual-compartment carabiner that’s perfect as an EDC keychain. It is machined from a solid block of aluminum and the anodized finish ensures it won’t break down and corrode like cheaper options. It also has a notch for opening bottles!

We round it out today with the Fisher Space Pen Bullet Space Pen which sells for only $25, is made in the USA, and carries the classic Fisher ‘Bullet’ design that was developed in 1948. This pen uses a pressurized ink cartridge for an even, dependable flow that will write under any conditions.

Last up today are the world-class Klipsch McLaren T5 II True Wireless Sport Earbuds. Meant to closely mimic the shape of the ear for maximum comfort, the Klipsch McLaren T5 II True Wireless Sport Earbuds are manufactured about 25 percent smaller than other options, meaning they won’t fall out or have sound interrupted when you’re in motion. And with a new signal boost antenna — delivering a high-quality, seamless Bluetooth® wireless connection — you’ll have maximum sound quality. The first 500 orders will receive a 30% off coupon code from the McLaren Gear Store, with codes being emailed once the product ships, so make sure to order yours now.
