I believe that the best gifts are the ones you ended up using every day. These are the items that never leave the house without them, whether you’re headed to work, tailgate events, or a quick trip to the grocery store. That’s why we’re super excited to bring you our favorite everyday carry (EDC) items from 2022.
We here at BroBible are pleased to help with the heavy lifting of holiday shopping, but it’s important that you put just as much thought into the lighter everyday carry items. If you’re going to use them every day, they might as well be of the highest quality and durability.
We’ve compiled the best EDC items from Huckberry, Salt Life, YETI, and our favorite brands from this past year. Plus, these items make for great last-minute stocking stuffers. But just because it’s in your stocking doesn’t mean it has to be a throwaway gift.
Huckberry
They’re not random. You don’t just toss them in your pocket. Oh no, your everyday carry (EDC) items are the deliberate result of concentrated streamlining and maximization of portability and preparedness. Just as your carry is a reflection of your personal approach to preparedness, Huckberry’s EDC shop is a reflection of their emphasis on useful, quality products that are reliable in every situation.
