This personally curated collection of high-performance everyday carry items is full of gear that is built to last you a LONG time. There’s no sense in spending money on something if it will fall apart after a few months. This gear is built for the long haul and in some cases can last you a lifetime. You can shop the full collection by following any of the links below or pick and choose your favorites.
First up is the Luminox ICE-SAR Arctic 1200. This 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.
Below that, we see the North 89 No-1 Weatherproof Sneakers. As the name implies, these Italian suede are waterproof in construction to lock out all moisture (rain, snow, etc). These are handmade in Porto, Portugal which has become the world’s epicenter of fine leather shoes.
The Waterproof Trail Jacket by Only NY comes in Black (pictured here) and a vibrant yellow colorway. This completely waterproof jacket has a 3-layer fabric to ensure you stay bone dry in the wettest of conditions. With Spring just around the corner you will 100% want to own a jacket like this. It’s also great for trips when you want a comfy layer but you aren’t sure if it will be raining and/or just want to be prepared.
Here we have the Lululemon ABC Pants which have become my favorite pants of the past year. I have these in Black and Navy and what’s great is they can be worn on the golf course, working out, or the classic five-pocket style with lululemon’s Warpstreme™ fabric gives off the look of a normal pair of chinos so you can wear these to the office or when traveling. They are breathable, moisture-wicking, reinforced at the seams, and they have a 4-way stretch to make them the most comfortable pants you’ll wear in 2020.
Moving on, we check out the Castillo Knives Navaja with a Curly Birch Handle. The Navaja is handcrafted in Spain and it comes with a Spanish-made leather sheat + USA-made sharpening stone to keep the blade finely honed. The drop point blade is made from premium Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel which is ideal for edge retention and ensuring it doesn’t weaken over time.
The James Brand makes some of the best everyday carry carabiners around and The Hardin Carabiner is a particularly excellent expression of this. It is drop-forged for consistency and superior strength and the dual compartment design enables you to keep your keys + other items securely attached. It is constructed out of aerospace-grade 6061 aluminum that’s both lightweight and crazy strong.
The Bullet Space Pen is based on the original 1948 Fisher Space Pen design using pressurized ink cartridges to write in any conditions (like outer space). This pen is made in the USA with solid brass construction.
Next to the Bullet Space Pen we’re looking at the Wazoo Survival Gear Survival Pod which is an ingeniously designed keychain + survival kit with the bare essentials. It’s constructed out of type III commercial 550 paracord and 7 inner strands of two twisted yarns each.
We round it out today with the Mystery Ranch Urban Assault 24L backpack which is on sale for $129 when it typically retails for $165. This bag’s built with ultra-tough 500D Cortura to ensure it lasts you a lifetime.
Lastly, we have the super affordable no-nonsene The Leather Rookie Wallet. This $19 wallet holds 8-12 cards, cash, and it’s cut from military surplus boot leather that is both fire and water-resistant.
