Bright green carry
Our Take
Overall Description
This EDC loadout presents a very cohesive and modern aesthetic, heavily leaning into a vibrant green color scheme. It appears geared towards urban preparedness with a focus on utility and a touch of style. The selection suggests someone who values being ready for a variety of situations, from minor repairs to navigating the outdoors, while maintaining a minimalist approach. The inclusion of a sling bag indicates a need to carry more than just pocket-sized items, likely for work or daily commutes.
Pros
The quality of the items appears high. Brands like Leatherman, Nitecore, Spyderco, and Roka are known for their durable and reliable products. The inclusion of both a full-size multitool (Leatherman Skeletool) and a smaller classic (Victorinox Classic SD) provides redundancy and options for different tasks. The power bank is a smart addition for modern life, and the umbrella is practical. The watch is a useful tool for timekeeping and notifications. The container with matches and a lighter is a good preparedness item.
Suggestions
While well-rounded, there are a few areas for consideration. A first-aid kit, even a small one, would be a valuable addition. Depending on the user's environment, a dedicated penlight or headlamp might be more useful than relying solely on the flashlight. The carabiners are useful, but their purpose isn't immediately clear – perhaps for attaching items to the bag or belt loops. Consider adding a small notebook or field notes for quick jotting. Finally, while the aesthetic is strong, ensure the green color scheme doesn't hinder visibility in low-light conditions.
