I hand-picked this roundup everyday carry gear to help make each day a little bit easier for you. Yes, YOU. I’ve chosen some gear, gadgets, apparel, and accessories that all provide immediate value to your daily life. To purchase any of the items, you can follow the links throughout the article.
First up is the VAER Watches A5 Field Automatic which runs on a high-quality Japanese-made Miyota 9015 automatic movement. This watch is assembled by hand in Los Angeles and it comes with a black silicone strap and the khaki nylon strap you see here. It features a classic military-inspired dial with 7 layer C1 lume hands and dial.
The Converse x FOG Essentials Skidgrip Shoe is my favorite streetwear release of the Summer. It just dropped but you can still pick it up today if you act quick. This is a reboot of the Skidgrip Con-Rad which was a go-to style for skaters and surfers in the 1980s. This style was a childhood favorite of designer Jerry Lorenzo and he’s brought it back to life with the Converse x FOG Essentials Skidgrip.
The Converse x FOG Essentials Skidgrip Shoe is a hightop with a digitally printed archival pattern. It has a padded collar and OrthoLite sock liner (love OrthoLite!), Fear of God ESSENTIALS and Chuck 70 vintage license plates, and can be laced up with an oval lace or a cotton flat lace. These look great with jeans or shorts and you can wear them year-round.
I’m loving the simplicity and classic design of the Marine Layer Sport Crew Tee. It’s seam to seam Navy Heather that’s been cut from a lightweight blend of 94% polyester and 6% spandex to be moisture-wicking and comfortable. You can wear this while traveling, getting active, or chilling out.
You can pair that t-shirt with the everyday Proof Rover Pants, a pair of pants that’s built to be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. They come in every Waist x Length configuration you’re looking for and these are considered a premium-style work pant with comfortable technical performance. Pretty much checking the boxes on everything I’m looking for.
The Leatherman Skeletool KB pocket knife for everyday carry is an absolute steal at just $25. It is made in Portland, Oregon and the blade’s constructed out of 420HC stainless steel for a brilliant edge. The skeleton frame design means this knife weighs just 1.3oz so you can carry it all day in your pocket and it won’t hold you down at all.
The ingeniously-designed VSSL Mini Camp Emergency Kit is housed in a compact cylinder full of three distinct survival kits you should always have with you. This has a multi-mode flashlight, first aid kit, and plenty more survival tools and aid items you might need in a pinch.
The Acadia National Park Buff is part of the Buff collection from ‘Wear A Map’ which features buff-style face coverings with maps of our most famous national parks. This one features a map of Acadia National Park and it’s ‘one size fits all’.
Here we’ve got the Bullet Space Pen which is made right here in the USA. It writes using a pressurized ink cartridge which provides an even flow in any conditions. This was originally developed in 1948 and is one of the most iconic American pens around.
We round it out today with The Mehlville Carabiner 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!
Last up is the EVERGOODS CHZ22 Backpack which is a spacious 22-liter bag built from high-quality, PU-coated, 500D nylon. This backpack was ergonomically engineered for a natural and comfortable fit. There’s a padded laptop sleeve, it’s water-resistant, rugged, and if this is the time of year to refresh your backpack you’ll be hard-pressed to find better options than this one.
