Tool NameGear Infusion GhostTi
Blade TypeStandard utility blade
Dimensions2.62″ x 0.97″ x 0.22″
Weight0.7 oz (with blade)
Lock2-stage mechanical and magnetic lock
Body MaterialGrade 5 6AL-4V titanium
MSRP$35

Since its inception, Gear Infusion has consistently delivered creative and innovative tools for everyday carry, including the EverRatchet, a unique ratcheting one-piece multi-tool that’s been a consistent favorite of ours in recent years. Their latest offering, the GhostTi, continues this legacy as an ultra-compact, titanium-crafted EDC pocket tool designed to enhance the execution of daily tasks.

While it boasts a minimalist design, the GhostTi is packed with essential features, which include a replaceable main utility blade, a rear pry edge/box ripper and a small cord cutter cutout for quick snips—all housed within a sleek sub-3″ frame. This design allows the multi-tool to fit seamlessly into your daily ensemble, making it a must-have for both routine tasks and unexpected challenges, and covering your bases for most tasks needing an edge.

Premium, Precision-Machined Construction

Crafted from a single piece of machined Grade 5 titanium, the GhostTi is both featherlight at 0.7 oz and robust, offering resilience against wear, corrosion, and harsh environments. Its glass-blasted finish mirrors the look of its predecessor the EverRatchet, giving it a sleek, timeless look that performs just as well thanks to titanium’s inherent properties.

Elevating the Utility Blade

The GhostTi’s use of easily-replaceable standard utility blades serves a dual purpose: you can use it for the absolute hardest cutting tasks without worrying about long-term gunk or damage like you would a folder (simply swap out the blade for a new one), and you can also take the tool with you while traveling by simply leaving the blade at home and picking up a new one at your destination, ensuring you can maintain a razor-sharp edge wherever you go.

Two blade-locking positions allow you to customize the cutting depth for enhanced precision. The blade is ingeniously suspended between integrated front and back rails using a unique float design that guarantees smooth, reliable closure—even with tape residue or dirt buildup. A tool-free blade removal system allows you to remove or swap blades without extra tools, and this TSA-compliant feature allows you to easily remove the blade at checkpoints, simplifying the security process when traveling.

A Unique Dual-Locking System

At the core of its functionality, the GhostTi sports a unique 2-stage lock system, which uses both a mechanical and magnetic lock to prevent accidental blade deployment. This safety feature ensures that the blade stays securely in place when not in use, whether clipped to your keychain or tucked in your pocket. Titanium’s springy properties means that the physical lock won’t loosen over time, with the magnet offering extra peace of mind in addition to extra carry utility.

The GhostTi relies on manual opening for fast but reliable deployment of the blade—simply sliding the blade into place for immediate use. The blade also closes easily through a combination of disengaging the lock and gravity-assisted closure, making it a breeze to stow away safely.

Multiple Ways to Carry

This multi-tool is also equipped with other useful features, including a keychain attachment point/lanyard hole and a built-in magnetic attachment point (the same magnet helping secure the blade) for additional convenience, allowing you to attach the tool to a keyring and metal surfaces. To enhance your experience, Gear Infusion offers an optional 550 paracord and bead lanyard as an add-on. This accessory, featuring a glass-blasted, Grade 5 titanium bead, not only elevates the GhostTi’s aesthetic but also provides better grip and easier retrieval from your pocket, making it both stylish and functional.

Grab Your Own GhostTi on Indiegogo

The GhostTi reflects Gear Infusion’s commitment to crafting functional everyday tools, and its 30-day funding campaign just launched on Indiegogo, and already over halfway its funding goal. Shipping is set for December 5th, just in time for holiday deliveries, and backers can enjoy discounts of 30-37% off the retail price during the campaign.

Watch NameG-SHOCK GD010
MovementDigital Quartz
Case Diameter52mm
Case MaterialsBio-based carbon / Bio-based resin
Weight2.3 oz
MSRP$99

Before the advent of quartz movements, watches that combined rugged durability, reliability, and advanced features simply didn’t exist. Watches with mechanical movements were susceptible to damage from shock and vibration, and the more complications you added, the more fragile the movements became. The introduction of G-SHOCK changed all that, eventually becoming the symbol of unwavering toughness that has made it the go-to choice for those who require ultimate dependability. Quartz movements did have one drawback, however. Unlike watches with mechanical movements that drew power from the movements of your wrist, quartz watches need batteries to run—batteries that need to be replaced every couple of years.

The G-SHOCK GD010 makes that problem a thing of the past, boasting a 10-year battery life without compromising on any of the features we’ve come to love from the G-SHOCK line through the years.

Aggressive and Rugged Design

The GD010 takes a bold approach to case design, incorporating multiple angles on the bezel. These details aren’t just aesthetic choices. They serve a functional purpose by absorbing potential shocks and protecting the glass. Made from carbon fiber-reinforced resin, the case offers both strength and lightness, ensuring that the watch can withstand harsh conditions while remaining comfortable to wear.

Detailed Inner Construction

A closer examination of the GD010 reveals meticulous attention to detail in its construction. The large digital LCD ensures clear visibility, while the circular hairline finish on the dial ring adds a sophisticated touch. The use of adhesive on the glass allows for a large-diameter dial while keeping the case relatively slim.

A Decade of Power

One of the most surprising aspects of the GD010 is its incredible battery life. Unlike many other watches that demand frequent battery changes, the G-SHOCK GD010 needs its battery replaced approximately once every 10 years. This impressive longevity is made possible by the integration of a high-capacity battery and a design that emphasizes low power consumption. Despite its efficient energy use, the GD010 doesn’t compromise on functionality, however. It comes with 200-meter water resistance for peace of mind while at the pool or beach, Multi Time which provides easy access to the current time in up to four registered cities, World Time to keep track of multiple time zones, a 1/100-Second Stopwatch, Countdown Timer, 5 Daily Alarms, and a bright Auto LED Backlight that illuminates the dial for visibility in low-light conditions.

Versatility and Everyday Carry

Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast, a professional, or someone who appreciates reliable gear, the G-SHOCK GD010’s rugged design and useful functions combined with an impressive 10-year battery life make it a versatile everyday carry companion, and a solid choice for a 1-piece watch collection.

In the world of EDC, outdoor adventures, and survival situations, a fixed blade knife carries a lot of advantages over its folding counterpart. Since they don’t have any moving parts, the risk of mechanical failure is minimized, making them the knife of choice for outdoor enthusiasts, hunters, and first responders who need a robust, easy-to-maintain, and reliable tool for heavy-duty tasks. Enter The Bohr, Glow Rhino’s newest tritium-illuminated fixed blade knife designed to stand up to the most rigorous demands.

The Bohr knife pays homage to Niels Bohr, a Danish Nobel Prize-winning nuclear physicist. Just as Bohr’s discoveries unraveled the complexities of atomic structure and quantum mechanics, The Bohr reflects a commitment to excellence and a nod to the relentless pursuit of perfection. This knife aims to simplify and enhance your cutting tasks, whether you’re out in the wild or tackling daily chores.

The Bohr’s 3.75” blade is crafted from DC-53 steel, which is meant to be an upgrade to the more commonly used D2 steel. It features higher hardness, twice the toughness, and substantially higher fatigue strength than D2 steel, ensuring that you don’t lose your edge even in demanding conditions. The blade features a black PVD coating, adding an extra layer of protection against corrosion and wear while giving it a sleek, tactical appearance.

The straight-back blade design offers versatility for a variety of tasks, from ferro rod striking to precision slicing and cutting. Whether you’re preparing food, starting a fire, building shelter, or engaging in intricate work, The Bohr’s blade is designed to deliver consistent performance.

The handle of The Bohr is crafted from G-10, a high-pressure fiberglass laminate known for its durability and resistance to moisture. This material ensures a secure grip even in wet conditions, making it an ideal choice for outdoor and survival situations. The handle is available in two striking colors: all black for a classic, understated look, and blaze orange for enhanced visibility in the field.

Ergonomics plays a crucial role in the design of The Bohr’s handle. Its thoughtfully contoured shape fits comfortably in a full-handed grip, reducing fatigue during extended use. The handle thickness of 0.53″ strikes a balance between enclosing the blade’s tang and a comfortable grip that allows ease of use and carry. Additionally, the lanyard hole and jimping on the spine provide added functionality and control.

One of The Bohr’s standout features—and Glow Rhino’s signature accessory—is its tritium-illuminated backspacer. Tritium is a self-luminous isotope that doesn’t require an external power source, ensuring visibility in low-light conditions. The Bohr’s XXL tritium backspacer, measuring 2x12mm, is visible on three sides, allowing you to locate your knife effortlessly in the dark. This unique feature sets The Bohr apart, offering a practical advantage for nighttime use and emergencies.

With an overall length of 8.1” and weighing in at a light 5.1 oz, The Bohr’s strikes a balance between portability and functionality, making it easy to carry while still offering the robustness needed for demanding tasks. It also comes with a custom Kydex sheath with a universal belt clip to ensure ease of access both for EDC and in the field.

Whether you’re venturing into the wilderness, preparing for survival scenarios, or simply looking for a dependable EDC tool, The Bohr knife is a statement of quality, innovation, and reliability. Its high-quality materials, ergonomic design, and unique tritium illumination make it a versatile and indispensable companion.

As a brand renowned for its uncompromising commitment to durable and reliable timekeeping, G-SHOCK has long been a go-to choice for both watch and EDC enthusiasts worldwide. The recent introduction of the G-SHOCK GRAVITYMASTER GRB300 is geared towards aviation, with special features aimed to help those who traverse the skies. 

The new GRAVITYMASTER is part of G-SHOCK’s Master of G series which are purpose built for professionals. The Master of G assortment is divided into Air, Land and Sea, of which the new GRB300 represents the Air category. It features G-SHOCK’s shock-resistant carbon core guard structure, ensuring unparalleled durability in the face of even the most challenging conditions. The watch case, crafted from carbon fiber reinforced resin measures an impressive 59.0 x54.7 x15.7 mm / 71g, and is designed for high visibility and with an aircraft-inspired aesthetic in mind. The bezel features integrated molding and two rings—a metal ring and a urethane ring—installed beneath it. This combination of materials gives the bezel a visual presence that embodies the sleek lines of next-generation aircraft. The side buttons feature anti-slip texturing inspired by hazard warning stripe tapes, and the guards beneath the buttons have been eliminated for even better operability.

In line with G-SHOCK’s commitment to sustainability, key resin components used in the case, bezel, and band of the GRB300 are made with bio-based resin. Produced using renewable organic resources, this material is expected to help reduce the watch’s environmental impact, making it an eco-friendly choice.

Available in a range of colorways, including grey/blue (GRB300-8A2), black/white/red (GRB300-1A), and black/orange (GRB300-1A4),the GRB300’s dial is distinct and legible. The watch features a large-diameter, triple-layer dial with a sense of depth, ensuring that time can be intuitively read at a glance (which is one of the most important factors to look for in a pilot watch). There’s also a high-brightness LED (Super Illuminator) light. Drawing inspiration from a plane’s cockpit, the GRB300 features a high-contrast black-and-white color scheme that enhances the visibility of the watch hands and index marks. The red and white colors of the GRB300-1A add a touch of vibrancy, while the orange hues of theGRB300-1A4 are reminiscent of the color of a cockpit instrument panel’s nighttime illumination. The blue hue of the GRB300-8A2, on the other hand, was inspired by the colors found in a fighter jet’s heads-up display (HUD).These distinctive color combinations not only look great, but they also provide practical functionality that aligns with the aviation theme.

What sets the GRAVITYMASTER GRB300 apart from the rest of the G-SHOCK line are its aviation-focused features including a dual time display, and a dynamic flight log function to record time, location, and routes traveled. The dual time display allows wearers to simultaneously track time in two cities located in different time zones. Configuring world time settings is a breeze using the dedicated CASIO Watches app, and switching between home time and world time is equally effortless. The GRB300’s flight log function lets you record your current time and position on a map in the app by syncing the watch with your smartphone. This feature comes in handy for tracking departure and arrival times and locations. The plotted data can be grouped for batch management of travel record details, making it easy to keep track of your adventures.

The GRB300 also features Tough Solar technology for solar and artificial light charging, a stopwatch, and a daily alarm. With G-SHOCK’s signature shock resistance and water resistance up to 200 meters, as well as Bluetooth connectivity which automatically adjusts the time with your smartphone, the GRB300 is a timepiece designed to keep pace with even the most adventurous spirits.

Using the CASIO Watches App to link the watch to your smartphone via Bluetooth, you can analyze your health metrics using algorithms from Polar, a company with a well-established reputation for heart rate-focused training analysis. These include all the necessary information that you’d want from a fitness tracker, including VO2 max calculations, cardio load, and calories burned. You can even link your data with apps like Strava and Apple Health to share your achievements with friends and fellow adventurers.

Withstand the Worst to Become the Best

The RANGEMAN GPRH1000 combines the convenient features of a smartwatch and fitness tracker with the tough, durable reputation of the G-SHOCK line. It’s designed to withstand shock, dust, mud, and water and is based on bio-based resins, which are environmentally friendly and durable. The case gets added protection from forged and stamped metal components that guard the GPS antenna and sensors inside. A forged metal button guard protects the main control button at the 9 o’clock position, while the case’s button shafts are equipped with gasket fittings to prevent mud and dust from getting in. Like the case, the band is also made of soft bio-based resin, ensuring a comfortable wrist fit. Large buttons with non-slip texture make them easy to operate and reliable even in wet environments.

The Power to Keep Going

The RANGEMAN GPRH1000 has a dual-charging system, so you’re never stuck without power. The time display is powered by solar charging, while the training functions and smart features rely on USB charging for juice. The digital display features a high-brightness full-auto LED backlight that makes the watch readable in the dark.

The G-SHOCK Features You Love

The RANGEMAN GPRH1000 comes with the standard G-SHOCK features and functions we’ve come to love and rely on. It has five alarms, one of which has a snooze function. It has countdown and interval timers, which are helpful for training, and a 1/100s stopwatch, which can measure up to 24 hours. It also has a world time function, which can display the time of 39 cities.

The Best of Both Worlds

Loaded with features that help you explore, analyze, and enjoy your outdoor activities beneath a shock-resistant, 200-meter water-resistant, eco-friendly bio-based resin case, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a watch that combines toughness and functionality the way the G-SHOCK RANGEMAN GPRH1000 does. If you’ve been looking for that one “do it all” watch that you can reliably wear daily with complete peace of mind, then look no further.

And if you’re not the adventuring type, sit back and daydream because the RANGEMAN can have notifications for incoming calls, e-mails, new social media posts, calendar notifications, and reminders, but we think you’d rather be out adventuring.

G-SHOCK MUDMASTER GWGB1000-3A https://everydaycarry.com/g-shock-mudmaster-gwgb1000-3a/ Wed, 06 Dec 2023 14:00:00 +0000 https://everydaycarry.com/g-shock-mudmaster-gwgb1000-3a/ As a longtime fan of the revered G-SHOCK line, I can’t think of any other watch I’d rather…

As a longtime fan of the revered G-SHOCK line, I can’t think of any other watch I’d rather have on an excursion involving unpredictable weather or high-impact activities. But even among the G-SHOCK family, there’s a distinction to be made between getting down and dirty and getting down and dirty. When the situation calls for taking toughness to the next level, the MUDMASTER collection steps in, with the G-SHOCK GWGB1000-3A as the family’s newest member.

The GWGB1000-3A is part of the Master of G line, a collection of G-SHOCK watches tailored for specific professions and activities. The MUDMASTER series, as the name suggests, is made for people who work or play in muddy and sandy conditions, such as rescue teams, rangers, and off-road drivers. The secret to the MUDMASTER’s extra level of toughness lies in how the 58.7mm case is constructed, giving it a unique structure that sets it apart from other G-SHOCK watches. Stainless steel protector parts are strategically placed at the 12 and 6 o’clock positions. These parts are specially treated with a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating to enhance their resistance against abrasions. To achieve their intricate shapes, the parts are meticulously crafted by forging and cutting metal components, while a different technique called metal injection molding creates the complex molded form of the front button guard. Carbon-fiber reinforced resin parts are also used at the 3 and 9 o’clock positions to protect the side buttons.

When paired with its durable carbon fiber-reinforced resin case, the MUDMASTER becomes a timepiece that truly stands out, offering unbeatable strength and exceptional longevity. However, it’s not all about being the toughest watch on the block. The MUDMASTER aligns with its eco-friendly values by incorporating bio-based resins in its case, bezel, and band, emphasizing G-SHOCK’s dedication to sustainability.

As the flagship model of the MUDMASTER series, the GWGB1000-3A boasts an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, a 3-hand analog dial with LCD, and a super illuminator double LED for high visibility. Triple sensors that measure compass bearing, altitude/barometric pressure, and temperature can help you navigate and monitor your surroundings and alert you of any changes in the weather. The watch also has a solar-powered battery that can be charged by light and a unique power-saving model, ensuring power efficiency. If you’re traveling to a different time zone, the watch reads radio frequencies from up to six stations worldwide and automatically adjusts to keep it accurate.

Bluetooth Smartphone connectivity is another notable feature of the GWGB1000-3A. Pairing the watch with your smartphone via the CASIO Watches app offers additional useful functions and setting options. You can use the Location Indicator function to point the intuitive indicator hand at 3 o’clock toward a location you’ve recorded on the map within the app. This function can help you find your way back to a specific point, such as your campsite or car, even in challenging conditions like sandstorms or dense fog. You can also use the Mission Log function to record your activity history, such as your walking route and altitude data.

The GWGB1000-3A’s green color scheme matches the theme of the MUDMASTER series, with a multi-dimensional design that gives it a powerful and rugged look, but it is also offered in two other colorways, black and burgundy.

Combining toughness and technology, the G-SHOCK GWGB1000-3A is a natural evolution to the G-SHOCK Master of G line, capable of handling any punishment you throw at it while relaying useful information whenever needed. Grab yours at the link below.

GSHOCK MUDMAN GW9500 https://everydaycarry.com/gshock-mudman-gw-9500/ Wed, 30 Aug 2023 13:00:00 +0000 https://everydaycarry.com/gshock-mudman-gw-9500/ It could be argued that the G-SHOCK MUDMAN is the ultimate representation of Kikuo Ibe’s vision of what…

It could be argued that the G-SHOCK MUDMAN is the ultimate representation of Kikuo Ibe’s vision of what a G-SHOCK should be. First introduced in 1985, the G-SHOCK MUDMAN DW-5500C showcased innovations that would shape the G-SHOCK line for years to come. It was the first to introduce a mud and dust-resistant structure designed to prevent dirt and mud from getting into the watch and damaging the internals.

The latest evolution of the MUDMAN series, the G-SHOCK GW9500, encapsulates the absolute toughness of the G-SHOCK line while adding features that further enhance its usability in extreme conditions. It’s inspired by professional gear built to perform in the harshest environments. From rescue missions to wilderness survival, the GW9500’s solid, rugged design delivers strength, slimness, and ease of use.

The highlight of the MUDMAN line has always been its mud-resistant construction, which the new MUDMAN GW9500 enhances. Cylindrical stainless-steel parts protect the front button and three direct sensor buttons, and feature oversized, easy-to-operate pushers that keep mud and water out. Even the button shafts come equipped with gasket fittings that prevent contamination with dirt and dust. The case, bezel, and band are made from bio-based resins produced using renewable organic resources such as castor oil plants and corn. This material helps reduce environmental impact without sacrificing durability or comfort.

At the heart of the G-SHOCK MUDMAN GW9500 is its Triple Sensor, which senses natural environmental changes in magnetism (for compass bearing), atmospheric pressure (for altitude and barometric pressure readings), and temperature. These functions allow you to plan your activities ahead of time and will warn you when sudden weather changes are predicted to occur. The MUDMAN GW9500’s Multi-band 6 system receives radio signals from six stations worldwide (two in Japan, China, the USA, the UK, and Germany) to adjust the time automatically, ensuring accurate timekeeping wherever you are.

To minimize bulk from previous iterations, its bezel height was reduced by cutting the glass and employing a new glass adhesion method without sacrificing the Carbon Core Guard’s high rigidity and durability. The case measures just 14.8 mm, making it just 3 mm shy of the thinnest G-SHOCKs on the market. All this while incorporating Triple Sensor technology and a duplex LCD (dual-layer LCD), which is an incredible engineering feat no matter how you look at it. This is the first time the duplex LCD has been used in the G-SHOCK. The LCD’s dual layers enhance the digital compass’s readability, which is helpful during survival situations in unpredictable weather. The top layer shows compass graphics, while the bottom layer offers a large display of the time and various measurements.

Two of the three variants, the GW9500-3 and the GW9500-1A4, utilize a negative LCD, which also marks the first time a G-SHOCK brand uses a negative LCD with a dual-layer construction. The screen’s legibility in the dark won’t be a problem thanks to its Super Illuminator function that provides a high-brightness full auto LED backlight for the LCD, activated by tilting your wrist or pressing a button.

Naturally, the G-SHOCK MUDMAN GW9500 includes all the functions that make the G-SHOCK line great, including shock resistance, 200-meter water resistance, Tough Solar charging, world time for 48 cities, a 1/10-second stopwatch, countdown timer, five daily alarms, and sunrise/sunset times. With features that suit its purpose as a tough, dependable, and useful timepiece in any situation, the G-SHOCK MUDMAN GW9500 is an environment-proof outdoors watch that delivers on its promises of durability and strength.

When G-SHOCK released its GBDH2000, the fitness-tracking world rejoiced as it combined the G-SHOCK’s world-renowned durability with true multi-sport fitness-tracking capabilities and smartwatch functionality. It also signified the start of the collaboration with Polar, one of the most recognized names in wearable fitness.

With the introduction of the DWH5600, the latest addition to the G-SHOCK Move series of watches, G-SHOCK pays homage by featuring a straightforward and balanced design and an octagonal case reminiscent of G-SHOCK’s first release. Both its bezel and strap are crafted using environmentally friendly bio-based resins, and carbon fiber-reinforced resin is also used for the inner case. Couple this with solar-assisted charging technology, and it’s easy to see the brand’s increasing commitment to sustainability. The watch also utilizes a high-definition Memory in Pixel (MIP) LCD screen, shielded by a flat mineral glass crystal, helping it maintain visibility in bright conditions. Water Resistance of 200 meters and Shock Resistance come standard and are hallmarks shared by the entire G-SHOCK lineup.

In addition to the standard digital watch functions found across the G-SHOCK collection, such as stopwatch, alarm, countdown timer, automatic calendar, and world timer, the new DWH5600 features advanced health and fitness capabilities, such as step counting, heart rate monitoring, blood oxygen level measurement, and sleep analysis. With Bluetooth connectivity, the watch implements automatic time synchronization, notification reception, and easy setup through the Casio Watches smartphone app. The app also provides daily activity tracking, activity logs, and life logs using data analysis that uses Polar’s algorithm technology. These tools cater to your body’s unique needs, allowing you to optimize your health to continuously progress with your fitness goals, whether walking, running, or working out at the gym.

Both solar and USB charging is supported, with solar-assisted charging enough to keep its time display active indefinitely. Once the battery is low, you’ll need to plug the watch in to use its training functions and smart notifications. Assuming zero light exposure, the watch offers up to 35 hours of battery life when utilizing heart rate tracking and activity functions. With heart rate measurement turned off, it can last approximately one month, and in power-saving mode, it provides around 11 months of timekeeping.

The G-SHOCK DWH5600 successfully bridges the gap between those looking for fitness tracking and notification functions from a smartwatch and those who still rely on the legendary robust durability that defines the rest of the G-SHOCK collection. With an official retail price of $299, the new G-SHOCK DWH5600 is also more affordable than most smartwatch models currently available, making its value-for-money proposition difficult to ignore.

Patrick Ma is an EDC industry icon, with a career spanning 25 years and his hand in founding some of the best hardware and soft goods companies in the business when it comes to high-performance gear of the highest caliber, no matter the mission. Today he continues to work on exceptional everyday equipment as CEO, Creative Director, and Chief Designer of Prometheus Design Werx, which is nearing its 10th anniversary with no signs of stopping. In this interview, Patrick takes the time to answer our questions about designing his products, his thoughts on the current landscape of EDC, and an interesting piece of gear from a movie he still dreams about making.


First and foremost: what’s in your EDC?

(Editor’s note: Some items listed in Patrick’s carry are currently out of stock but restocking. Others have yet to land or are currently out of production. We’ve indicated these per item as specified by Patrick.)


EDC’s changed a lot from the blogs and forums of its early years. How are you and PDW navigating this new environment heavily influenced by social media, hype releases, and collaborations, and a much bigger market willing to drop some serious money on their gear?

Having been one of the “founding fathers” of EDC I have seen a great proliferation of goods in this arena from when I first started designing “EDC” products in the late 1990s. I’d have to say I’ve been very impressed with the wonderful and innovative breadth of goods that I’ve seen come to market from every corner imaginable. The competition has gotten fierce and compels any of us involved in this genre of goods to keep pushing the boundaries, to “invent and reinvent the wheel,” to innovate and create. It keeps the market fresh and the general consumer benefits.

Of course, there’s a lot of crap that gets made too, but that just means there’s something for everyone. I keep my nose to the grindstone and keep at it. I can only work on EDC ideas that are born from personal needs and use cases. This keeps my work genuine and authentic in its intent. My work in EDC may speak to many, but not to everyone.

With the breadth and depth of your product lines, what piece of gear do you still dream about making?

Of the several brands I have created, each is something of an outlier in the industry, where I chose to pursue the trifecta of soft goods (packs and bags), apparel, and equipment (EDC gear). There are very few brands that design all 3 product categories in-house and offer them under one banner, and I founded two of them. So I’ve done quite a few products over the years.

But, what “piece of gear do I still dream about making?” Well, for those who remember the late 90s movie, The Saint, it would be something along the lines of the pocket knife featured in it. It was like the ultimate gadget Swiss Army-type pocket knife with an automatic main blade and a host of tools from a lockpick, and compass to a mini-torch. I’d have a different set of tools, but yeah, something along those lines.

What’s the one EDC/tactical/outdoor problem you have that you still feel you’re unable to solve?

Perhaps one of those challenges would be more along the tactical side of things. While most of my public work the past nine years has demonstrated a shift away from the overtly “tactical look,” turning the dial back towards that purpose-driven context, I am a lifelong fan of the science and art of camouflage. I have been thinking for some time now about how to truly level up or literally disrupt the idea of individually worn camo battle dress/combat uniforms. And I do have some ideas which haven’t been done before, which might actually accomplish the next evolution of camo.

What would you say are your core tenets that you won’t break when you develop a product from start to finish?

Listening to other people’s “ideas,” I don’t do it. I can’t begin to tell you how many people come up to me with their “good idea” to make. However, any idea is only good, if you have the wherewithal, fortitude, and resources to execute on it. Otherwise, it’s just empty talk and I don’t want to hear it. Don’t waste my time or yours. I have plenty of my own ideas to last several lifetimes and do not develop products that are not my own.

What’s the most uncommon product you’ve designed that you’ve gotten a compliment for?

Recently, I’d have to say those would be my Invictus-AT or STS-AT folders using our proprietary Terravantium® super alloy under my brand Terrain 365. I’ve designed and created truly 100% rust-proof, nonferrous, nonmagnetic folding knives that have blades that hold a lasting edge. By the nature of the limited availability of the Terravantium alloy in bulk, these knives are on the more uncommon side.

You seem to have a complete line of products for almost everything EDC, but do you have any particular gear favorites from other brands that you carry on you?

The only gear from other brands I carry every day are flashlights, some multi-tools, and Swiss Army Knives. I personally carry the RovyVon Aurora A1 and A4 titanium pocket lights. Great functionality, lightweight, but not the best ergonomics and design aesthetic. Definitely could use some work in those departments.

I have been a lifelong fan and user of SAKs. Although for the last few years, I’ve modded them all with my own series of G10 and titanium aftermarket scales. I am also a fan of the Swiss Tool. They are simple, elegant, and finely made multi-tools. When I need a multi-tool, that’s what I grab.

From what we’ve seen of your products over the years, you have a cult following for much of your gear, particularly those in the SPD line. Is there a different approach to how you make those products compared to your main lines? And do you have a tip for interested folks to have a better chance of grabbing them?

As I’ve stated on my website, my SPD designs are generally limited or tackle a more specific use case. In the case of the former, some goods by their very nature means not everyone is going to be able to get one. They can be limited for a host of reasons, especially when it comes to collabs. I’m fortunate to work with some of the longest-running EDC brands (knives, really) that I’ve known for decades.

Often, it’s just a matter of supply. We get what we get, even if we have a PO in for more, and have no say in the final quantities we receive. We feel lucky to just even get them. Keep in mind human nature too. Flood the market, and a gold egg turns to brass.

At the end of the day, I’m going to make some or many folks happy much of the time, but I’ll never make everyone happy all of the time.

With 25 years in the industry, can you describe how your creative vision has changed from when you started [at Triple Aught Design] and now with almost a decade at Prometheus Design Werx?

My vision, at its core, has always been the same. Producing intelligently designed equipment and apparel for the self-reliant and self-propelled adventurer and explorer. What has changed is only an evolution of style where my aesthetic has matured and been academically refined over the many years of empirical experiences. That said, I believe I have a distinct design voice based on the fundamental ethos of “form follows function” and is recognizable to those familiar with it, no matter what brand I created.

Whether you’re an avid outdoorsman or simply looking to prepare for an adventure around town, it helps to look at our EDC beyond what we carry in our pack or kit and start to pay attention to our EDC uniform as a whole cohesive unit. Prometheus Design Werx does precisely this, offering exceptional products that range from performance apparel to functional equipment and accessories. In this article, we’ve assembled a rock-solid daily EDC uniform that complements your current EDC gear, offers added protection from the elements, and provides additional ways to customize a loadout that works best for you.


Top: Defiant Hoodie

A knife is often the impetus and foundation of many EDCs, and PDW makes one heck of a statement with their SPD Invictus-Bali GID butterfly knife.

Its MCA (MOLLE Compatible Array) allows you to fasten it securely to any MOLLE system, either with PDW’s HAL1 straps or other compatible third-party straps.

Small Essentials: R.A.P.

The R.A.P. (Random Accessory Pod) is a silicone pod that provides plenty of flexibility and storage for various items that usually find themselves jumbled up at the bottom of your bag: charging cables, earphones, pack towels, or nitrile gloves, for example. The unique front opening means you can simply squeeze open the pod to store your items quickly and easily, while the pod’s MOLLE compatibility allows for even greater organization. Each 3-pack includes one Universal Field Gray, one Glow-in-the-Dark, and one Flame Orange color option, so you’ve got plenty of choices for customization and picking your personal style statement.

G-SHOCK GBDH2000 Multi-Sport Watch https://everydaycarry.com/g-shock-gbd-h2000/ Fri, 05 May 2023 16:00:00 +0000 https://everydaycarry.com/g-shock-gbd-h2000/ “Good things come to those who wait,” says the adage, and we’ve been waiting for this one for…

“Good things come to those who wait,” says the adage, and we’ve been waiting for this one for a while. With G-SHOCK’s latest addition to the G-SHOCK MOVE series of watches, the G-SHOCK GBDH2000 finally combines its world-renowned durability with true fitness tracking capabilities and smartwatch functionality to improve your fitness level and training performance under any condition.

Improving on its predecessor, the GBDH1000, the G-SHOCK GBDH2000 features an updated design. It adds multi-sport functionality with an additional sixth sensor, allowing you to track your performance across a wide range of activities, from running and biking to swimming and gym workouts. The GBDH2000 utilizes an optical sensor with an LED light that accurately measures changes in blood flow to detect heart rate, making it easy to monitor your heart health. Its accelerometer tracks your steps throughout the day, while a gyroscope identifies your swimming strokes, turns, and more, so you can keep the pace going on land or in the water.

Those who love training outdoors will appreciate the built-in GPS, magnetic, pressure, and thermal sensors that track compass bearing and temperature, as well as altitude and barometric pressure. Take complete control of your outdoor workouts–the GBDH2000 has all the information you need to optimize your training gains.

With just the touch of a button, users can select from various activity modes to track and display real-time measurements such as energy used, pace, calories burned, and type of calories used per activity. So whether you’re running, cycling, or training for endurance, the GBDH2000 provides detailed feedback to help you reach your fitness goals.

Connecting the GBDH2000 to the Casio Watches app opens up even more functionality, with an easy-to-understand display of daily activity tracking, activity logs, and life logs. Working with popular sports activity brand POLAR, its database analyses your sleep and even provides breathing exercises to improve overall health.

At a mere 63g, the GBDH2000 is 38% lighter than its predecessor. It achieves this via its carbon-reinforced resin back, a thinner rechargeable battery, and the use of bio-based resins for its bezel and band. Bio-based resins are eco-friendly and renewable materials that help reduce the ecological footprint while meeting G-SHOCK’s toughness requirements.

The GBDH2000 retains all of the G-SHOCK technology we’ve come to love, including its 200-meter water resistance, shock resistance, Super Illuminator LED Backlight, four daily alarms and auto Calendar, 1/100th second 100-hour stopwatch, 60-minute timer, and world time functions.

Both solar and USB charging is supported, with solar-assisted charging enough to keep its time display active indefinitely. Once the battery is low, you’ll need to plug the watch in to use its training functions and smart notifications.

The G-SHOCK GBDH2000 is available in two colorways: the GBDH2000-1A9 in colorful black and yellow, and the GBDH2000-1A in classic black. Order yours at the link below.

The FD Pouch or Forage Dump Pouch is a modular pouch with three separate pouch types that you can swap out to suit your use case. Each pouch has a capacity of 13 liters and can be mounted on any MOLLE platform with PDW’s MOLLE Compatible Array and optional HAL1 Straps.

The first pouch is a Canvas Pouch Module, made with organic undyed cotton canvas. It’s the perfect container for foraging wild edibles, medicinal plants, pine resin, tinder, and other natural materials. The second pouch is the Mesh Pouch Module, made with a polyester mesh and a durable 140D nylon top skirt. If you plan to store wet items, this is the pouch you’ll want to take with you since the mesh bottom allows liquid to seep through. The third pouch is the 500D CORDURA Module, which is both durable and waterproof. Use it as a magazine dump pouch or for items you want to be protected from harsh weather.

Each pouch has its own adjustable shoulder strap and a one-handed shock cord cinch top skirt, allowing you to close the opening easily.

WUULF Pack 24L

The Wilderness Utility Urban Lay Flat Pack or WUULF Pack combines the classic alpine style, top-loading summit assault pack design with some added modern touches. This 24L pack features a unique 2-way center front zipper that provides easy access to 90% of the main compartment without opening the top lid. Built with 500D CORDURA, the WUULF Pack boasts life-long durability while maintaining a light weight of just 1.43 kg.

PDW has gone the extra mile to ensure the WUULF Pack’s longevity with innovative design and material choices. Instead of using less durable stretch fabrics used in most packs’ water bottle pockets, they used a new double-gusseted design using the 500D and adjustable shock cord which you can replace when worn out. The WUULF Pack also features alloy tension hooks for the top lid closure and compression straps instead of the typical nylon or acetal type so that main point buckles wouldn’t be vulnerable to cracking when stepped on against rocks.

SHADO Pack 24L

The SHADO Pack 24L is a fully-loaded mid-size pack designed to accommodate a variety of conditions both in and out of the wilderness. SHADO stands for Suspension, Haul, Access, Durability, Organized—the guiding principles PDW used to govern its design. Its dual zipper opening gives you direct access to its internal admin compartments so you can organize all your items quickly and easily, even when the pack is laid flat.

It also features convenient mounting points for bike helmets or MOLLE pouches and dual reinforced clamshell main compartments for your laptop/tablet and EDC, bolstered by a top accessory pocket and dual side stretch water bottle pockets.

It’s made from Invista CORDURA 500D and custom-milled 140D nylon/spandex, which gives you some much-needed confidence when faced with bad weather. The SHADO Pack is designed for comfort, too, with a sternum strap ladder, removable waist belt, and a ventilated lumbar pad for those long treks.

Tool Pouch

The Prometheus Design Werx Tool Pouch is designed to store all the essential gear you want accessible at all times while keeping them out of your pockets. The exterior features a QR SR buckle for secure closure and an adjustable webbing strap for cinching when necessary. The pleated construction allows the pouch to accommodate many small items, such as folding knives up to 5” long, multi-tools, flashlights, monoculars, and more. The MCA (Molle Compatible Array) on the back allows you to mount it on pack straps or utility belts, ensuring your gear is always within easy reach. Its Invista CORDURA 500D construction guarantees durability, with 140D ripstop nylon lining the interior.

Ti-SAK Scales

The 58mm Victorinox Mini Champ is a fan favorite for a reason—it’s one of the most versatile SAKs around, with an assortment of tools ranging from a Phillips screwdriver to a built-in pen. These precision-machined titanium SAK Scales are high-grade premium scales meant to be permanent DIY replacements for the factory plastic Cellidor scales used in the 58mm Mini Champ. It’s a worthwhile upgrade, too, featuring a dive-watch grade glow-in-the-dark dot inlay that makes it easy to find in low-light conditions and a purposeful tactile grip and handling improvement to the otherwise smooth surface.

Two designs are available: a 5-fullered pattern and a topo map pattern replicating the topographic lines from a USGS 7.5′ map. Both designs take the Mini Champ to the next level in form and function.

Pack Rain Cover 15-30L

As prepared as we hope to be when we head out on an excursion, weather conditions can often be unpredictable. The Prometheus Design Pack Rain Cover is a compact, lightweight rain cover that provides waterproof protection to 15L-30L backpacks. At only 5.5″ x 5.5″, the Pack Rain Fly easily stows into its built-in pocket, ready to be pulled out when bad weather hits. With its 70D nylon construction and 2000mm waterproof polyurethane coating to keep your gear safe from wet weather, the Prometheus Design Pack Rain Cover gives you one less thing to worry about when heading out.

The black and red color scheme has always been a popular choice among EDC enthusiasts looking to add a pop of color to their kit. It’s a particularly important colorway for G-SHOCK’s new line, as some faithful G-SHOCK fans may remember that the very first G-SHOCK, the DW-5000C-1A, featured an all-black resin case and band with red accents.

The color black evokes a sense of strength, while red has always been associated with fiery passion, so it makes sense that the G-SHOCK line goes back to its roots with the newly released Ignite Red Series. The new collection features four of the G-SHOCK family’s most popular analog/digital models sporting a bold two-tone black and red color combination: the GA700BNR-1A, the classic GA100BNR-1A, the GA2200BNR-1A, and the octagonal-designed fan favorite GAB2100BNR-1A.

All models in the Ignite Red Series feature color-blocked accents of red that provide a nice balance to the otherwise all-black cases. Additional red accents can be found within the details of the dial design, highlighted through metallic paint on the index markers and neo-brite treatments applied to the hour and minute hands. The black and red combination stays consistent with the LCD screen as well.

The GAB2100BNR-1A is the featured watch of the series, boasting Bluetooth connectivity that offers added functionality to the watch via the Casio Watches mobile app, such as automatic time adjustment, phone finder, reminders, and more. This model also features Tough Solar Power technology, which helps prolong its battery life through solar recharging.

All timepieces in the collection come equipped with standard G-SHOCK features such as shock resistance, 200-meter water resistance, a stopwatch, a countdown timer, world time, and five alarms with hourly time signals. You can never have too many G-SHOCKS in your collection, so indulge yourself with some G-SHOCK heritage and pick up one or the entire collection at the link below.

Widely used in watches, tools, compasses, and military gear, tritium is a self-powered light source that doesn’t require batteries or an outside charge, making it perfect for applications that require visibility in low-light environments. Naturally, this makes tritium an ideal upgrade to our EDC gear, allowing our essentials to be more visible during a night-time adventure or camping trip without requiring external light sources.

Glow Rhino believes that our EDC shouldn’t quit just because the lights do. With nearly 30 years of experience adapting tritium to various solutions in the defense industry, they’ve applied that expertise by creating a wide range of products using tritium to enhance the tools we carry every day.


Tritium Lanyard Hole Plug for the Benchmade Bugout

The venerable Benchmade Bugout is one of the EDC community’s favorite pocket knives, and Glow Rhino’s tritium upgrade improves on it by allowing you to quickly find it in low light conditions without the need for a flashlight. Glow Rhino’s Tritium Lanyard Hole Plug for the Benchmade Bugout is crafted from CNC-machined stainless steel with a black nitride coating to blend into the Benchmade Bugout’s lanyard hole seamlessly. It uses double-sided cylindrical tritium lamps to make it visible on both sides of the knife. The tritium plug is compatible with Benchmade 535 Bugout glass-filled nylon scale models, and can be easily installed by loosening the scale screws closest to the lanyard hole and simply sliding the plug into place.

Tritium Lanyard Hole Plug for Spyderco Knives

Spyderco has created some of the most iconic and sought-after knives for EDC, so it’s no surprise that Glow Rhino has a Tritium Lanyard Hole Plug upgrade for their popular Para Military 2 and Para 3 G10-scaled models. The plug seamlessly integrates into the knife’s handle, making it seem like an original inclusion. It’s crafted in CNC-machined titanium and is available in either Satin Silver or Black PVD colors. Two cylindrical tritium lamps handle illumination, and just like the plug for the Benchmade Bugout, it’s double-sided for visibility from either side of the knife.

The Spark

Glow Rhino developed The Spark to instantly identify important bag pockets, pouches, and keyrings, enabling you to locate exactly what you need when you need it. At just 0.31”, the Spark is the smallest and most economical of Glow Rhino’s Glow Fobs and can be attached to your keyring or bag with its included keychain hole and lanyard loop. The cylindrical tritium lamp is encased in injection molded polycarbonate, allowing it to withstand the bumps and scrapes of everyday carry as well as inclement weather. The compact but robust construction means you won’t have to worry about losing or damaging your light source when you need it the most. The Spark is available in green, blue, purple, yellow, and red and can be purchased in 1,3, or 5-pack options.

While it’s easy to get away with old shorts and a t-shirt during the hotter summer months, winter forces you to think extra hard about what you wear outside. The colder seasons require pieces that are not only warm but also tough enough to withstand extreme weather. Whether you make a living working outdoors, have an inconvenient commute that exposes you to the elements more than you would like, or know that you’ll shovel the driveway soon, some tough jackets and hoodies are always a worthy investment.

That’s where Prometheus Design Werx comes in. The company makes all kinds of EDC tools and goodies, but it also has an impressive apparel line that can make all the difference in the coming months. The pieces highlighted here are some of the options that showcase how the company takes staple cold-weather clothing you might find on your father’s coat rack, given a modern twist. The clever designs, rigid materials, and the fact that they’re made entirely in the USA make them worthy of attention if you want to upgrade your cold-weather gear.


Stratus Down Hoodie

Winter isn’t coming, it’s here. Whether you like it or not, it’s time to start layering up. If you don’t have a quality hoodie in your coat closet, you should check out the Stratus Down Hoodie. This could easily act as your jacket on a cold day, or you can layer it underneath another coat in extreme cold. It has goose-down making it a great heat insulator while still maintaining airflow. The Stratus’s exterior is made with hydrophobic 20D nylon, so you don’t have to worry about getting caught in the rain. It also cinches at the bottom and has elastic cuffs for locking things down and conserving heat. The best part is that it’s highly compressible. You can also pack it down into a neck pillow, making it a great travel companion when you get off the plane into another climate.

Stratus Down Hoodie – Mission Gray

Stratus Down Hoodie – Outpost Blue


Roam Jacket

Every wardrobe needs a workhorse. PDW’s Roam Jacket aims to be that thoroughbred. It’s a modern take on the traditional trucker jacket with upgraded materials to future-proof an iconic design. The design might look familiar, but the jacket is made of a soft-shell fabric that PDW calls Expedition Cloth. The 4-way stretch fabric makes it comfortable for everyday wear, while the DWR coating and YKK zippers make it tough enough for unfriendly weather conditions. Along with the two regular jacket pockets, you’ll get two chest pockets big enough to fit a smartphone and two internal pockets. One unique feature of this jacket is the secret zippered pocket tucked into the back of the collar, which is perfect for stashing some cash or smaller emergency items.

Roam Jacket EC – ATB

Roam Jacket EC – UFG


Defiant Hoodie

A versatile, water-resistant hoodie is a staple if you live in areas where the weather can be unpredictable. The Defiant Hoodie by PDW is a technical hoodie perfect for casual wear on a night out or trekking on your next adventure. The Schoeller All-Weather material isn’t only waterproof and breathable, but quick dries in a pinch and UVA- and UVB-resistant to protect against rays. Plus, it stretches in 4 directions for a comfortable fit. You’ll get four external pockets (two on the body and two on the sleeves) with cord anchors to keep your gear from falling out. Then there’s also the zippered internal gear for smaller essentials like your wallet or keys. This should be on your shortlist if you’re in the market for a versatile hoodie or shell to bring with you anywhere.

Defiant Hoodie – Universal Field Gray

Defiant Hoodie – Rogue Green

Defiant Hoodie – Syth Black


DRB Woodsman Shirt

Few clothing pieces are as classic as the flannel, and PDW takes the staple to its ultimate level with the DRB Woodsman Shirt. Made of a nylon and Melton wool blend, this flannel is a technical piece that looks great and is all but guaranteed to last. It also has a few quality-of-life touches that bring this classic piece into the modern era. For one, the elbows are double-reinforced for extra longevity, and the dual chest pockets have slotted buttons for securing smaller items that tend to fall out of other pockets. This jacket even has a small pen/pencil slot for when you’re working on something and need to make a few marks. For a tough three-season shirt you can rely on, the DRB Woodsman is as good as it gets.

It’s that time of the year, and Black Friday gives everyone a chance to step up their everyday carry at a steal. Fortunately, Prometheus Design Werx is a one-stop shop for high-quality gear for every aspect of your carry, from bags to cases, to camping and even to carry-on friendly containers. For Black Friday and Cyber Monday, PDW are offering a steep discount of 25% OFF a ton of their soft goods offerings, and we’ve picked out the best and listed the rest in our roundup below.


S.H.A.D.O. Pack 24L

With a name that stands for and delivers the driving principles of Suspension, Haul, Access, Durability, and Organized, it’s no doubt that the award-winning S.H.A.D.O. Pack is one of PDW’s best-in-class backpacks. Its 24L frame is packed with features from harness to bottom handle, including dual reinforced clamshell main compartments for your laptop/tablet and EDC, bolstered by a top accessory pocket and dual side stretch water bottle pockets.

The bag also zips open flat, giving its internal admin pockets easy access. A network of adjustable and modular straps, clips, hooks, and cords ensure that external additions suspend securely and the S.H.A.D.O. remains comfortable to its user, even with a full haul.

The bag’s Invista CORDURA 500D construction provides a soft but resilient base to stack all of the S.H.A.D.O.’s many features for customizing and accommodating any EDC loadout, including a removable hi-vis EDCO admin/organization panel, 3-stage modular ToF hip belt, and a removable Gear Trap panel on the front with a laser-cut MOLLE-compatible array for endless modular options.

Road Warrior 60L Duffel

If you need an ultra-rugged duffel with the storage to pack for even the longest adventure, PDW’s Road Warrior is a 60L weather-resistant beast. It’s got enough space for well over five days’ worth of gear, with a spacious main compartment with a zippered clamshell top lid to store all of it in. The Road Warrior’s outer skin is made from 1000D Phthalate-free PVC tarpaulin which gives it its resilience, and its mesh, edge binding, webbing, zipper pulls, and Velcro loop all come in nylon.

Two padded shoulder straps can easily be attached/detached to suit your load, allowing you to carry the duffel in a backpack style, bolstered by two grab handles on each end and carry straps on top. For additional modularity, two rows of daisy-chain loops line the Road Warrior’s sides, and the bag also comes with a separate quick cinch bag for footwear or for separating laundry.

Check It Out


CC12

The CC12 is uniquely designed to work with a standard 12-gallon tote/bin, the roomy kind of durable storage you may already have in your garage or truck for overlanding. It provides extra protection through a 1000D Phthalate-free PVC tarpaulin construction while offering handles and attachment points for easy transport and identification. Its zippered main opening makes it easy to access a nested bin, with mesh pockets on the lid and two removable EDCO admin/organization panels for further organization. A padded handle, carry straps, and grab handles on each end give you options to easily manipulate even heavy loads, giving you grab-and-go capability at a moment’s notice. Last but not least, like on the Road Warrior, rows of daisy chain loops allow you extra attachments or labels to help you organize the contents of your bins.

Check It Out


EDTC

The EDTC is armor for your everyday backup gear. It’s a thermo-molded, clamshell-opening travel case with two removable die-cut EVA foam bumpers and divider that can fit an extra watch, knife, light, pair of sunglasses, or more within its semi-rigid 600D nylon oxford shell. The EDTC comes in a discreet Universal Field Gray with a molded PDW logo, but its interior is lined in hi-vis Flame Orange for ease of content identification even opening it up inside a dark bag. It’s an excellent option for protecting your essentials when packing and traveling for that extra peace of mind.

Check It Out


R.A.P.

For those smaller odds and ends that need extra protection or organization, a 3-pack of PDW’s R.A.P. (R.andom A.ccessory P.od) is a solid silicone bet. From charging cables, extra batteries that shouldn’t be rolling around loose, extra meds and other first aid gear, a secret stash of cash, ear protection–the sky is the limit. A simple squeeze front opening makes it easy to store, retrieve, and protect anything that will fit within the food-grade, non-toxic 4.50″ x 1.125″ x 4.00″ silicone construction. You can drop them into your pockets, bags, glove box, or even attach them to MOLLE-compatible webbing through the slots on the back. Each set comes in Universal Field Gray, Glow in the Dark, and Flame Orange.

Check It Out


Versa Bear

Traveling with liquids can be a pain, but it doesn’t have to be with PDW’s Versa Bear, a friendly set of food-grade silicone squeeze bottles with secure flip-top caps. They’re TSA carry-on approved with a 2.7oz/80ml volume, and make for great containers for anything from condiments to dopp kit essentials like liquid soap, shampoo, and sunscreen. The Versa Bear is inspired by the classic Gummy Bear and Honey Bear bottle shapes, and their friendliness extends past their design: PDW donates a portion of Versa Bear sales to various wildlife conservancies to help preserve the Honey Bee, a crucial member of the natural ecosystem. Note–while they’re versatile enough to store most liquids, be sure to check out the list of non-recommended items on the product page that may not be compatible with the Versa Bear’s silicone construction.

The G-SHOCK G-STEEL line was designed to bridge the gap between the full resin construction of G-SHOCKS with the stainless steel case traditionally used in watches. The hybrid mix results in various styles and color combinations while maintaining the near-indestructible characteristic that’s made the G-SHOCK a fan favorite since its introduction in 1983. The latest addition to the G-STEEL line sees the use of a classy black and gold color combo that injects a touch of sophistication to the usually rugged watch.

The first entry to the Black x Gold G-STEEL Series is the GSTB100GB1A9, weighing 3.6 oz with a large 58.1×53.8×14.1 mm case that showcases a stainless steel bezel ion-plated in gold set against a black base. Its black urethane band contrasts nicely with the gold case, providing a sense of balance to the watch.

Joining the line is the GSTB400GB1A9, which also uses a black resin band complementing a black bezel and gold steel base. It measures 46.6×49.6×12.9 mm and comes in as the lightest of the three models, weighing in at a mere 2.8 oz. Last but not least is the GSTB500BD1A9 which features an almost all-black theme, measuring 46.6×48.9×12.8 mm and weighing a beefier 5 oz thanks to its black stainless steel band with a one-touch 3-fold clasp, offering a supremely significant wrist presence.

While offering distinct styles, each model in the series features a legacy design turbine dial at 9 o’clock, which features a dual-coil motor in a rotating disc dial that moves the blades. It’s a unique detail that gave the original GSTB100 model one of the most unique dial designs in the modern G-SHOCK lineup.

All three models feature Bluetooth connectivity to the G-SHOCK Connected app expanding many of their features with built-in Smartphone Link functions. The new models also include Tough Solar Technology, which uses a highly resilient film-like solar panel on the dial that allows the watches to convert power from even the weakest light sources. All three naturally come equipped with standard G-SHOCK technology, including shock resistance, 200M water resistance, Full Auto Calendar, World Time (DUAL TIME), Daily Alarm, Stopwatch, LED (SUPER) Light, and a 24-hour stopwatch and timer.

The GSTB100GB-1A9 retails for $420, while the GSTB400GB-1A9 and GSTB500BD-1A9 are priced at $390 and $380 respectively. If you’re like us and feel that one can never have too many G-SHOCKS in their collection, then it’s time to add a black and gold motif to yours by ordering one at the link below.

One of our favorite aspects of the EDC philosophy is how our devices and gear are often streamlined, saving both space and time spent looking for our favorite tools and devices. Only a handful of companies understand this as well as VSSL. Already known for their modular outdoor kits for carrying essential gear, VSSL marks a world’s first by combining an insulated flask with a portable Bluetooth speaker.

The VSSL Insulated Flask uses the same design principles and materials that make VSSL gear crowd favorites. A stainless steel double-walled vacuum chamber keeps up to 8 oz of your preferred beverage at the perfect temperature, while an integrated flip carabiner makes it easy to attach to your pack’s clip or strap.

With a length of 9”, a diameter of 2”, and a weight of just 9.6 oz, the VSSL Insulated Flask is compact enough to carry around comfortably even on the most prolonged hiking expeditions. A patented endcap allows for two drinking methods – through the flask spout for quick sips and a fully opened lid when you need to hydrate more quickly.

VSSL knows music plays a significant role in making an outdoor excursion memorable. The Insulated Flask eliminates the need to bring a separate Bluetooth speaker along as it features a highly-durable, waterproof speaker as an endcap. These aren’t just your run-of-the-mill speakers, however. VSSL has partnered with Californian lifestyle audio brand Speaqua, known for its high-quality, go-anywhere waterproof Bluetooth speakers. The Speaqua endcap speaker on the Insulated Flask provides 5W of audio power for up to 5 hours and can be recharged on a USB-C connection.

Its scalloped base allows the speaker to sit upright without sacrificing sound quality. It uses the Bluetooth 5.0 standard, which helps not just to provide crystal clear audio but to improve battery efficiency as well. Multiple audio sources can connect to the speaker, so everyone on the trip with you gets to share their favorite tunes with the group. Like the rest of VSSL’s offerings, the Insulated Flask allows you to replace the speaker endcap with other modules like a compass or flashlight for added versatility on your trip.

With its premium materials, thoughtful design, and highly-innovative integrated speaker, the VSSL Insulated Flask significantly improves the outdoor camping experience. Add a soundtrack to your next adventure, and pick yours up at the link below.
