In this roundup, we highlight elevated essentials, exceptional travel gear, and excellent eighth-anniversary flashlight deals.


The Brown Buffalo X Huckberry Collab to Release a Stealthy Style Trio

In their first collaboration in 2022, Huckberry and The Brown Buffalo teamed up to produce a limited Huckberry edition of The Brown Buffalo’s flagship backpack, the iconic Concealpack (a favorite of ours), that sold out in hours. Now, they’re back with a trio of exclusive limited-edition releases: an upgraded Concealpack, a Porterpen Case, and a Dopp Kit, all in an exclusive MultiCam Black colorway, making a uniquely styled, well-rounded collection of highly functional and durable organizational solutions for the everyday carry enthusiast.

Leading the pack, the upgraded Concealpack Everyday Backpack 21L is meticulously crafted from high-performing DWR-coated X50 X-Pac with a 500D CORDURA face fabric. Its lining is DWR-coated VX21 X-Pac, and boasts reinforced critical points featuring Berry-compliant bar tacks to better safeguard your essentials during transit and in cases of drops. It maintains an ample 21L storage compartment, a secure, padded laptop compartment, and plenty of pockets for organization, easily accessible through the full clamshell opening design. The Porterpen Case and the Dopp Kit are also crafted from the same material as the Concealpack. The Porterpen Case boasts a 1L capacity, offering a compact yet robust solution for safeguarding writing materials and other small essentials, and the Dopp Kit comes with a 3L capacity, perfect for keeping your toiletries and other related materials protected and organized, perfectly rounding out the collection.

Each of these pieces represents the uncompromising quality and thoughtful design of these brands, offering functionality and durability without compromising on style, and when used together, they make a cohesive ensemble that ensures efficient organization.

The James Brand recently unveiled the latest iteration of their best-selling knife, The Kline. It’s now available in a new Marbled Carbon + Stainless colorway made in the USA, and it’s the first to use carbon fiber scales in the line. The James Brand leverages carbon fiber’s strength and light weight in a classy and unique marble pattern (specifically Protech Composites Black Ops Molten Carbon Fiber), giving The Kline an entirely new look and feel. Complementing the sleek new scales is a razor-sharp MagnaCut 3.4” stainless steel blade, providing the ultimate balance of corrosion resistance, toughness and edge retention. The knife also features the brand’s signature TJB slide lock mechanism for ambidextrous use and a deep carry, reversible pocket clip for added convenience. We loved the original version of this knife, so we’re excited about this new addition to the line. Read our original feature of The Kline here.

Anyone who’s done their fair share of traveling can attest to the fact that traveling gear tends to take a ton of abuse. We’ve all been there – pulling on the zipper with everything you’ve got to force close a suitcase, seeing luggage being tossed around by airport staff when they load them onto a plane, experiencing nasty spills from hastily closed shampoo bottles, or having to walk through rain or snow on that last mile to our destination. So it goes without saying that traveling with the right gear can make the difference between a fun and memorable trip or wishing you were back home on the couch.

That’s why Ridge, a company known for their range of durable, reliable, and stylish EDC gear, developed a comprehensive travel collection to make traveling a rewarding experience. The Ridge Travel Collection consists of four products: the Ridge Carry-On, Ridge Commuter Backpack, Ridge Toiletry Bag, and the Ridge Packing Cubes. These products are designed to work together as a cohesive system that will make traveling easier, more organized, and more enjoyable.


Ridge Carry-On: A Durable and Stylish Spinner

Your carry-on is where you’ll place some of your most vital items, so it’s no surprise that the Ridge Carry-On features impressive specifications, putting it on par with high-end suitcases. Its shell is made from waterproof German Makrolone polycarbonate—30% thicker than the plastic shells from standard carry-ons while remaining extremely lightweight. It’s nearly impossible to break, and since it’s highly flexible, it can absorb energy from impacts and spring back into shape – making it an extraordinarily resilient material. Anodized aluminum corner protectors add an extra layer of defense against bumps and falls.

The rest of what you’ll find on the Ridge Carry-On is equally noteworthy. Keeping the case together are YKK RC (Racquet Coil) zippers that are precision-engineered to meet the most demanding performance requirements. They’re also treated to be water-resistant, and combined with the reinforced shell and exterior mounted trolley, give the Ridge Carry-On an IPX3 waterproof rating. This means that even if you find yourself caught in a slight downpour while waiting for a cab, you can rest assured that your items will stay dry. Durable dual spinner wheels provide smooth, effortless movement in any direction, making tight turns and maneuvering through crowded spaces easy. These 50mm wheels are wider than those found on standard carry-ons, giving them more surface contact with the ground. This makes them quieter and much easier to roll on slightly rougher terrain.

It features a TSA-approved combination lock, a telescopic handle, and a spacious interior lined with durable 200D nylon. The interior features a removable compression panel, zippered pockets, and even a pocket for an AirTag or GPS tracker, which makes losing your luggage a nightmare you’ll never have to worry about again.

The Carry-On comes with a minimalist yet masculine-slanting design that reflects the Ridge design philosophy and nicely complements the rest of its gear. It’s available in colors familiar to those who know the brand: Royal Black, Basecamp Orange, Alpine Navy, and Matte Olive. The black accents on the handles, zippers, wheels, corner protectors, and front slide rails add a nice contrasting touch. The distinctive carbon fiber logo plate is screwed onto the front of the luggage using the same screws found in the Ridge Wallets and other Ridge products.

The Ridge Carry-On meets the airline requirements for most major airlines as carry-on luggage and will fit in all overhead bins and is priced at $295 USD.


Ridge Commuter: A Rugged and Functional Backpack

The Ridge Commuter backpack complements the carry-on perfectly, not just because they share certain design elements, such as the carbon fiber logo plate and the black vertical Hypalon strips that match the carry-on slide rails, but because they both share matching colors.

It’s a versatile 20L backpack that can handle travel and everyday carry duty equally well. It can accommodate a 16” laptop in its shock-absorbing microfiber suede laptop compartment. It also features water-resistant materials such as 900D ballistic nylon and YKK AquaGuard zippers that protect your prized possessions from the elements.

Its main compartment fully unzips, so you can pack it flat like a suitcase. A modular hook-and-loop divider insert adds structure and organization to the bag, allowing you to customize the size of the main compartment to your liking. Multiple pockets keep your essentials secure, such as a hidden RFID-blocking pocket for your credit cards, an expandable side pocket for water bottles, two mesh front panel pockets, and a pocket for AirTags or any GPS tracker.

Travel-friendly features include a luggage pass-through that allows you to mount it on the carry-on trolley for easy transport and a FIDLOCK magnetic sternum strap for added stability and comfort. The Ridge Commuter is available now for $185 USD in four colors to match the rest of the collection.


Ridge Toiletry Bag: A Convenient and Hygienic Bag

The toiletry bag is where you’ll store your bathroom essentials, making it a necessary accompaniment to your travels. The Ridge Toiletry Bag was designed from the ground up with this in mind, featuring thoughtfully sized compartments that maximize storage without adding bulk.

The Ridge Toiletry bag is made from durable 900D ballistic nylon with YKK AquaGuard zippers (just like the Ridge Commuter), which make the Ridge Toiletry Bag weatherproof and ready to endure years of use. It features a zipper pocket on the back for quick access to items and a top pull handle that makes it easy to transport from luggage to the sink counter, where it stands upright for countertop convenience.

But what stands out is its interior. Ridge uses anti-microbial 210D nylon lining, protecting against bacteria, mold, mildew, and other hazardous microbes. This material prevents mold growth if liquids leak or spill inside the bag and is easy to clean.

Like the rest of the collection, The Ridge Toiletry Bag comes in matching colors and features shared design elements, such as the carbon fiber logo plate and the black vertical Hypalon strips, priced at $55 USD.


Ridge Packing Cubes: A Smart Way to Pack Your Clothes

The Ridge Packing Cubes are a great way to ensure you’re making the best use of your available space, with compressed compartments made from 420D ripstop nylon with a breathable mesh. They come in a set of four: three medium-sized cubes (9.5″ H x 6″ W x 3″ D) and one large cube (14″ H x 9.5″ W x 3″ D).

The Ridge Packing Cubes don’t just help with organization, but they also help you save space by compressing your clothes while reducing wrinkles. The cubes hold their shape when fully packed, so you always get the best compression for maximizing your space. The packing cubes can be stored flat when not in use and can be nested into the largest cube for compact storage. The set of four packing cubes is priced at $65 USD.


Durable, functional, stylish, and specifically designed to reflect the Ridge philosophy, the Ridge Travel Collection’s high-quality materials and high-end features make it a comprehensive and complete travel solution. Click the link below to browse the entire collection and special bundle pricing.

It’s a big EDC market out there, and tons of awesome gear is released all the time. We made The Drop to help you discover the latest and greatest essentials worth a spot in your EDC.

With its ergonomic design and clever organization features, the best-selling Cotopaxi Allpa Travel Pack has been a popular choice for quick, rugged excursions. For long-distance travel, however, you’d want to put your items in a travel roller to avoid carrying all that weight on your back and shoulders.

The Cotopaxi Allpa Roller Bag takes everything great about the Allpa pack to the next level by making it a full-fledged roller. It hasn’t forgotten its rugged pedigree, either. Large, sturdy wheels and an extendable handle make it easy to roll over cobbled streets, dirt roads, and stairs. And if you need to, you can also carry it as a backpack, thanks to the molded EVA back panel and padded shoulder straps that tuck away when not in use, making it a best-of-both-worlds travel solution.

The Allpa is made from high-quality materials that are both eco-friendly and resilient. The main body uses 100% recycled 840D nylon with a water-resistant TPU coating, while the secondary body uses 100% recycled 840D ballistic nylon with a ripstop weave. The lining is also 100% recycled ripstop polyester. These fabrics are sourced from pre-consumer waste, meaning they’re leftovers from other production processes that would otherwise end up in landfills.

The Allpa Roller Bag has a split case design that allows you to organize your belongings in two separate compartments, separated by mesh dividers. A top accessory pocket gives you quick access to your essentials, such as your passport, wallet, phone, and keys. It has 38L of available space, which I find is perfect for a 3-day getaway.

Multiple grab handles make it easy to lift it in and out of overhead bins or car trunks. It’s also carry-on compatible, so you can avoid the hassle of checking in your luggage. For longer trips or more packing space, a larger 65L size is available, too.


What we like: It combines many things we want to see in our gear: 100% recycled materials, rugged durability, and thoughtful organization features.

What to watch out for: It has no laptop compartment, so be prepared to leave your work behind. And while you can use it as a backpack, it won’t be a very comfortable carry.

Final verdict: The Cotopaxi Allpa Roller Bag combines the features of a backpack and a suitcase, making it a great all-in-one solution for your next adventure.

Victorinox Spectra 3.0 Luggage Collection https://everydaycarry.com/victorinox-spectra-3-0-luggage-collection/ Thu, 07 Apr 2022 21:45:00 +0000 https://everydaycarry.com/victorinox-spectra-3-0-luggage-collection/ The buzz and excitement of travel is starting to crackle in the air, and more and more people…

The buzz and excitement of travel is starting to crackle in the air, and more and more people are taking back to the skies as borders and countries start opening up shop for work and leisure. And inevitably a big part of the trip is deciding what—and how—to take things with you. In addition to robust multi-tools and accessories, Victorinox has been in the luggage game for a very long time, offering premium and stylish travel cases that are a cut above the rest. Their new Spectra 3.0 Collection is a high-performance new offering built from a new sturdy and sustainable material, and offers you all the space you need, no matter how much you need to pack.


Spectra 3.0 Frequent Flyer and  Frequent Flyer Plus Carry-On

Whenever you’re traveling by plane, your main luggage suitcase will handle the bulk of whatever you decide to bring with you. But, for extremely important items you don’t want to lose (or have the airport lose them for you), the carry-on is your best bet. Victorinox’s Frequent Flyer Carry-On was designed not only to maximize the amount of things you can carry with you, but also to keep them as neatly organized as possible inside a protective body made with durable materials.

Measuring in at 9.1“ x 13.8“ x 21.7“, this option by Victorinox gives you 37L of space. Inside its main compartment you’ll find a large zippered compartment for smaller items, elastic X-straps for flexible packing, as well as an internal removable divider. For further versatility, you have access to a lockable front compartment which comes with an organization panel. And if you need a little more space, the suitcase can actually be expanded with 20% more capacity. Its exterior is made out of SORPLAS, a high performance recycled polycarbonate, helping you keep your items safe while helping the planet with sustainability.

If you need an extra bit of space, you can opt for the Frequent Flyer Plus Carry-On instead, with a larger 45L capacity. This does increase the size and weight a small amount, but compared to how much more space you’re getting, the increase is definitely worth it.


Spectra 3.0 Expandable Medium and Large Luggage

For the happy medium of packing where you still want to travel as light as you can but still have enough room to spare for any additions on the way home, Victorinox designed the Expandable Medium Case. Measuring in at 11.8“ x 18.1” x 27.2“ and weighing in at 13.7 pounds, the Medium case manages to give you a whopping 81 L of capacity.

It features a similar design to the Frequent Flyer Carry-Ons: inside the main compartment, you get the same zippered section for smaller items, elastic X-straps, the removable divider, and the lockable front section with the organizational panel. The big difference is that the Medium Case manages to expand up to 40% more of its size, giving you the versatility to carry a little more without having to carry an entire full-sized suitcase.

When you need as much space as possible for a big trip (or packing for a family), you’re also covered with the Expandable Large Case. It has the largest capacity of the entire collection, weighing in at 15 pounds with a 12.6“ x 20.1“ x 29.5“ size to provide you with an amazing 103L of space. Like its siblings, it features a high performance, recycled SORPLAS polycarbonate construction, designed to withstand the rough and tumble of travel (including getting tossed around by handlers). And like the Medium expandable case, the Large Case can be expanded to 40% more of its capacity.


Spectra 3.0 Trunk Large Case

If you’re going to be packing a lot of things but need to be able to stay on the move, the Trunk Large Case might be the right fit. It switches its dimensions around to make it taller and a less wide, so compared to the Expandable Large Case’s 12.6“ x 20.1“ , the Trunk Large Case measures in at 14.2” x 16.5” instead. But this doesn’t mean that you’ll get significantly less space, as it still features 99L of capacity.

Unlike the other cases in the collection, the Trunk Large is not expandable in order to be more mobile. However, it comes with a unique feature: packing cubes. These compressible cubes are located below the X strap divider and help you further separate and categorize your luggage.

All of the suitcases in the collection feature an 8-wheel design along with an extendable handle for easy transportation. To help you maneuver more easily, they feature a side-handle as well. You can find any of these models in either black or in the iconic Victorinox red. You can pick any of them up at the link below.

You probably know the YETI brand of coolers for their immense durability and adventure-ready design that make them a great choice for outdoors EDC. Recently they’ve expanded into the realm of making everyday carry bags, filled with the same kind of attention to detail and quality of life touches that make them a great choice overall. Take the new exclusive YETI Crossroads line of EDC-friendly backpacks and duffels: their variety, versatility. and ease of use pair well with the craftsmanship put into making each bag. Wherever your daily expeditions take you, they have a Crossroads bag fit for the job, whether that’s a daily commute or a one-bag vacation off to places unknown.

Crossroads 22L / 27L Backpack

The Crossroads 22L Backpack is a everyday carry daypack built around having your gear readily accessible as you go about your day. It starts with the zippered main compartment opening, which features a unique flip-top vault pocket that helps you keep small essentials ready for the picking at the top of the bag without having to open it up fully. YETI designed special Sidehustle pockets on the sides of the bag that let you store snacks and water bottles without breaking up the clean lines and minimalist look of the bag itself. And for those who carry laptops and tablets, the inclusion of a 360-degree padded dedicated laptop compartment gives you ease of mind that your tech will make it from point A to B (and C) no matter what. While the bag isn’t strictly waterproof, the 700D TuffSkin nylon shell is built to shed most everything except an extended downpour, and it provides a lot of abrasion and tear resistance in the process too.

If you need a bit more space, there’s a slightly larger 27 liter version which builds on the day pack‘s strength by adding a secondary compartment that lets you store more gear for larger loadouts of an extended trip away from home. It also features extra padding in the shoulder straps to accommodate for the heavier load you can put on your back with this on, but if you don’t fill it to the brim it can cinch down for compact carry too. And for extended treks through train and airplane terminals, you can use the luggage passthrough system to get to your next destination without too much hassle.

Crossroads 40L / 60L Duffel

For frequent travelers, the duffel is an EDC essential you can’t live without. YETI’s Crossroads line features two everyday carry friendly sizes with their 40 and 60 liter bags. Unlike most duffle bags on the market, the Crossroads line features a structured build which holds its shape even when fully unloaded. This makes it easy to load the bag from empty, but it also helps the bag stay durable through extended use. The added structure and foam walls also help add a bit of cushion to the contents you place inside from the daily scrapes and bumps of everyday life.

Another useful feature of the Crossroads duffels is the divider panels which help segment your gear and clothes to keep them organized as you move from place to place. That added with the plethora of internal zippered storage areas helps you keep your gear from becoming an unorganized jumbled mess. For times that you’re traveling light, the modular compression straps allow the bag to mold to your gear and keep a low profile, and there’s internal compression straps too to help keep a lighter load from flopping about.

Crossroads Packing Cubes and Luggage

And if your everyday carry takes you to far-off places more often than not, you would benefit from picking up a set of YETI’s Crossroads Packing Cubes and their dedicated 22″ carry-on compliant roller luggage. The built in handle allows for easy maneuvering from train station to airport and all places in between, and the rugged wheel at the bottom of the roller bag is built tough to last through the years. The bag’s full clamshell opening allows for extremely quick access to the internals of the bag, letting you load and unload it at a moment’s notice.

And the durable packing cubes help keep your clothes and small essentials organized while you travel from place to place. They also have the ability to expand to fit more gear in case you bring back more than you brought in on your next vacation.
