If your wife is anything like my wife, she would probably appreciate it if you would confine your EDC mess to just one part of the dresser. That is where something like the Pocket Unloader EDC Dump Tray from Advanced Holster can help.
This thermoplastic tray is subdivided into 3 smaller trays so you can nerd out as much as you want about what goes into which area… or you can just dump it all in there and hope for the best. It is a great place to offload your EDC flashlight, keys, knives, lighters, TQ, and more at the end of the day so you don’t have to spend the start of the next day looking for those items.
The Pocket Unloader is available in a number of colors and patterns except for Black. If you like Black, you’ll love Sleeping Panther. It’s like Black but exactly the same. Spend a moment looking through the available colors. It’s sure to put a smile on your face.
What happens when engineers with an aerospace manufacturing background set their minds to designing a disposable utility blade based, EDC knife to be as slim, light, and simple as possible? The Resolute X-1 happens.
Resolute Tools is a new company that seeks to bring aerospace engineering principles to bear on the EDC market. The potential for such an approach is clear when you take a look at their first tool, the Resolute X-1, with its clever use of material properties and extreme simplicity of design.
The Resolute X-1 has three main components: a standard utility blade, a bronze blade holder, and a titanium frame. The blade rides in the blade holder which is machined from naturally low friction allowing to slide in the titanium frame. The titanium frame has an integral leaf spring that provides detent action for the blade holder so it snaps into the open and closed positions. It’s a very clever design that keeps the entire package slim and simple.
The titanium frame is radically skeletonized to reduce weight and bulk. It fully encapsulates the sharp edges of the utility blade when it is retracted and has an integral pocket clip. The result is an EDC knife that is just .282″ thick and weighs less than half of an ounce! If you carry a larger knife regularly, this may be the perfect companion to it.
Resolute Tools is currently launching the Resolute X-1 on Kickstarter. You can learn a lot more about the design and its creators on their campaign page: Resolute X-1 on Kickstarter
Cincinnati, Ohio – Vertx®, a leading manufacturer of low-profile tactical apparel and accessories, is excited to announce the launch of its Guardian 2.0 line of EDC shirts. First launched in 2018, the Guardian 2.0 is revamped and refreshed for 2020 with new fabric, colors and updated features. Both short sleeve and long sleeve styles are now available online at vertx.com and in-store. Customers can find their nearest dealer using the Vertx® store locator at vertx.com/store-locator.
“The most important thing we can do for our customers is continue to update and improve our lines.” said Denny Bogard, GM/VP of Vertx®. “Continually changing up colorways and fabrics makes it a lot easier for guys to blend in when they go out into the field. Better yet, the Guardian 2.0 isn’t just a great functional piece, it’s comfortable enough to wear casually as well.”
The Guardian 2.0 is styled to emulate a casual button-down but includes EDC-compatible features that make it perfect for any mission. Constructed with a built-in WeaponGuard™ underlayer that’s designed to be tucked in and features 37.5® technology, the Guardian protects the skin from gear worn at the waistline while actively working to keep the wearer cool, dry and odor-free. Updated from the 1.0 styles, the communications pass-throughs were moved from the front and back of the WeaponGuard™ underlayer to the left and right side seam to more easily hide wires and cables. Refreshed fabrication in a wrinkle-resistant Polyester/Cotton/Spandex blend with all-new solids and plaids help the Guardian 2.0 blend into the crowd.
