everyday carry items for men

This personally-curated collection of the best everyday carry items for men is full of gear and apparel. This capsule of everyday carry essentials is here to make your life smoother in a meaningful way by taking out the guesswork of your daily must-haves. You can shop the full collection or pick and choose your favorites by following any of the links below.

First up today is the Imperial Motion Borealis Reflective Backpack which comes in a reflective silver that has a 100% reflective shell for safety on the roads (cycling, running, walking, etc). It has a 20-liter capacity and separate compartments throughout. There are a 15″ laptop sleeve and a padded interior pocket for your phones and valuables. The $70 price point is AMAZING on this backpack as it packs the functionality and craftsmanship of a much more expensive bag.

Below that, we’ve got Fulton & Roark solid fragrances. The Solid Fragrance Sample Pack (only $16) includes 8 premium fragrances which enables you to familiarize yourself with these stellar scents. They apply much more evenly than typical fragrances and last longer. These are ideal for staying fresh after working out and they’re more portable than typical cologne because you don’t have to worry about a glass bottle shattering.

The Vuori Ease Performance 1/2 Zip is such a clutch daily piece of activewear. This moisture-wicking and quick-drying 1/2 Zip comes in Evergreen or Charcoal Heather. It offers up a 30 UPF rating to keep you protected from the sun and has a four-way stretch that gives you a full range of movement.

These Myles Apparel Everyday Shorts are built as a perfect crossover between high-performance workout shorts and casual shorts for everyday wear. They have a four-way stretch material, side split, and gusset construction to give you completely unencumbered movement. They have a DWR treatment that makes them one of the quickest drying shorts around. They’ll pair perfectly with the 1/2 Zip and the compression shorts featured below.

The Lululemon Escape and Explore Rain Jacket is currently on sale for just $238 when it typically sells for $398. THAT’S A STEAL for anyone keeping track at home. This completely waterproof jacket has a slim fit with hidden air vents for maximum airflow. This ensures you won’t overheat if you’re wearing this while our running in the rain. It has pockets throughout and a hidden back stash area for gear. Don’t sleep on these savings.

The Pacterra Athletics Middy Compression Short has raised the bar for performance comfort in compression wear. These are constructed using Pacterra’s SwingLoft fabric which was custom-built to give athletes a smooth compression feel that doesn’t get in the away during a workout. They have an invisible hip pocket which is clutch for your ID/credit card/cash/etc. while you’re out and about working up a sweat. The Jacquard waistband has a special raised-back hem which provides a secure fit and the best compression shorts you’ve ever put on.

The Luminox ICE-SAR Arctic 1000 is a 100% Swiss construction watch powered by a Swiss-made Quartz movement and the Tritium tubes provide a permanent lume that needs no light source to charge up. The custom-developed Carbonox carbon compound case makes for a brilliant combination of lightweight and durability that won’t hold you back.

The Ridge Aluminum Wallet + Money Clip is a favorite of everyday carry enthusiasts worldwide. This expandable wallet will hold between 1-12 cards, only weighs 2oz, is RFID-blocking, and has an integrated money clip that you can use to hold cash or clip onto your pocket.

We round it out today with the Leatherman ‘FREE T4’ One-Handed Multitool. This is a must-have for everyday carry. It has 12 tools throughout including a 420 high carbon blade, spring-action scissors, bottle opener, screwdrivers, and more. The ergonomic design ensures you can use this one-handed whether you are a righty or a lefty.

The Jaybird Vista Truly Wireless Earbuds features a water-proof and a sweat-proof design that makes them truly perfect for working out. You can throw all of the elements at these and they’ll still pump out crystal clear sound. They come with a protective charging travel case and you can create custom EQ settings to sync with your Spotify account.
