EDC setups can be either meticulously orchestrated or haphazardly thrown together. Regardless of how they come to be, an EDC collection carried daily is indispensible to its user. Text & Images by Jerry Tsai

Premium EDC Items
Axil GS Digital
MSRP: $499
URL: goaxil.com
Our 2¢: No more sweaty ear muffs. Need we say more? These tiny hearing protective ear buds boast a noise reduction rating of 29dB and shuts out sounds that are 85dB or louder to save your hearing. GS Digital also filters background noise and is powered by hearing aid batteries.
Radix One Slim Wallet
MSRP: $15
URL: radixproducts.com
Our 2¢: This wallet’s simple, sleek, and functional design includes a strong silicone band that wraps around two polycarbonate plates to sandwich credit cards and IDs in the middle. The wallet is designed to hold 4-10 cards comfortably, and the band acts as a money clip.
ITW Grimloc
MSRP: $2
URL: milspecmonkey.com
Our 2¢: These tough little locking polymer clasps have been used to secure gear on many a warfighter’s chest rig, backpack or belt for more than a decade now. They’re proven tough and lightweight without the unwanted noise and heft that is associated with metal clasps.
SOG Flash MT Multi-Tool
MSRP: $78
URL: soggear.com
Our 2¢: SOG’s latest multi-tool features an unique stainless-steel housing that holds seven tools, and a plier head that uses SOG’s trademark Compound Leverage. We especially like its CRYO D2 steel blade, which uses assisted opening that makes it more useful than most other multi-tool blades.
SureFire 2211 X Wristlight
MSRP: $199
URL: surefire.com
Our 2¢: When strapped to your support-side wrist, the 2211X is always ready for action. It won’t get lost, dropped or left behind when you need it most. Powered by a single disposable 123A battery that can provide up to 13 hours of useful illumination in three useful levels of 300, 60, and 15 lumens.
SureFire SC1 Spare Battery Carrier
MSRP: $20
URL: surefire.com
Our 2¢: Having enough power for your devices is key to being able to function at your fullest. Having a complement of 6 spare 123A batteries for your flashlight and other tools is made easy with this impact resistant battery carrier. Includes a detachable lanyard for easy carry.
