I have hand-picked this collection of the best functional and athletic everyday carry essentials for guys to help you live your best life each and every day. You can pick and choose any of your favorites from this EDC capsule by following any of the links below!

First up today, we check out the Momentum Watches Steelix Black-Ion. This watch is powered by a premium quartz movement, has a 22mm web nylon band, and it looks modern enough to be worn in most settings while sticking with a classic military field watch design at heart.

The OluKai Mio Li Shoes have a perfect design for a multi-functional shoe. The drop-in heel allows you to wear these as a slip-on if you want but they’re a sneaker at heart and one you can workout in or wear on the boat. These have a dual-density PU footbed with gel insert and soft microfiber footbed which provide all-day comfort and the treaded rubber outsole offers excellent traction.

Here we see the Lululemon Metal Vent Tech SS 2.0 which is a personal favorite shirt of mine for working out. This shirt’s made with Lululemon’s sweat-wicking and odor-reducing technology and it keeps you cool under any conditions. This is a shirt I wear to run errands, out for a run, on my Peloton, and pretty much everywhere else in life. It’s great.

You can pair that shirt with the Proof Lightweight Shift Joggers which fits remarkably well with that shirt + shoes combo. You can wear these lightweight joggers while warming up, working out, cooling down, or sitting on the couch like I am right now. They are cut from a Japanese 50D polyester fabric with four-way stretch built in to help you move with ease.

The Gerber ‘Mullet’ Keychain Multi-Tool is a clutch everyday carry accessory that’s a favorite of EDC enthusiasts. This 9-in-1 multi-tool is TSA-approved, has a handy bottle opener, pry bar, wire stripper, nail puller, and more. It’s also super affordable on Amazon.

Next up, we check out a unique everyday carry pocket knife from Deejo Knives which features a dope custom blade tattoo. These are some of the most customizable knives on the planet, they are super light, and ideal for everyday carry. They allow you to pick a unique ‘tattoo’ to make the knife your own as well as choosing the blade and handle features.

A LOT of people are finding themselves in the market for new headphones in recent days. The Apple AirPods w/ Charging Case is one of the most popular options on the planet. Anyone who has had AirPods will tell you how much you’ll love these. And the AirPods + Charging Case set is 13% off on Amazon.

The Rustico Leather Bullet Journaling Notebook is a great everyday carry item to have on-hand at any time but it’s especially useful right now when many people are told to stay at home. You can plan out the future with this, jot down your thoughts, and refill it with new notebooks anytime you fill it up.

We round it out today with the Kinto To Go Tumbler which comes in three colorways (Black, Coyote, and Khaki) and it’s built from durable 18-8 stainless steel that can take an absolute beating. The double-wall vacuum insulation ensures your cold drinks stays ice cold all day long.

Last up is the Fjällräven High Coast Foldsack 24L. I’ve been a huge Fjallraven fan for years. They make my favorite outdoor gear on the planet and this rugged backpack constructed out of nylon is built to last. The rollable design allows you to adjust the size of the bag to fit your needs.
