Blackout Spring EDC 2021 (Everyday Carry) - What's In My Pockets Ep. 42

winter is finally over which now means we have to deal with rain allergies and those damn pigeons but it does give us an excuse to update our edc aka everyday carry also a big thanks to omaze for sponsoring this video enter for a chance to win a tesla model s and twenty thousand dollars in cash at omaze.com accessorize so let's check it out starting up top you already know one of my new favorite daily masks made by rhino ready the grd01 so not only does it look wicked it also sounds it too filled with several layers of waterproof materials such as ripstop x-pack and even some tpu panels on the outside hands down this is one of the best form-fitting masks i've tested as well there's no gaps along the sides and the stretchy material on the bottom wraps around both my chins perfectly although i will say it isn't the best when it comes to breathability it's fine and comfortable at a walking pace but i wouldn't do anything that breaks a sweat with this on plus it's one of very few masks that i've tested that stay put while i ramble on about nothing the earloop is the highlight of the party though as it's made of some soft elastic that doesn't hurt my ear whatsoever with a very complicated looking adjuster that is surprisingly easy to operate as well the bungee cord attached to that is what seals the deal for me it's one of the easiest to operate in terms of adjusting which really ensures that tight seal around the sides of your face and it's also a multi-purpose because when you're out and about with no one else around it allows you to hang it freely around your neck making it quickly accessible when anyone remotely comes near you now that was only the outside because the inside is a whole different world this soft cotton lining feels like a teddy bear rubbing up on your face all day and then there's the pm 2.5 filter pocket which they do include a pack of to double up on protection oh and that foam nose insert is optional but i highly recommend it it simply sticks onto the inside of the mask and combined with a metal nose bridge allows for a tight seal along the top but also keeps the whole mask from sticking directly to your face lastly it does come with a sleek carrying pouch not something i use on the daily as i'm actively wearing the mask but nice to have to store additional filters or even a backup mask just in case moving down under stored in the front pocket of my vest my phone but more importantly what's attached to it this is the new popsocket collaboration with sog knives a collab no one knew they wanted until now it's all the greatness of a regular pop socket but with this tiny little tool stuck inside it made of all metal this five in one chocolate bar looking doohickey has all the essentials bottle opener because obviously a quarter inch hex bit holder for the odd jobs a four millimeter bit holder for the tiny jobs and a flathead on the opposite end that doubles nicely as a pry bar and to scrape away any gunk that you don't want to touch yourself the best part though it stores away on your phone so you can be the hero that no one asked for to open all their adult beverages you'd also be surprised how secure this magnetic latching system is passing my scientific shake tests without even coming loose all while staying easily accessible with a twist and slide don't worry although it is a tool everything is rounded off such that when stored no sharp or harsh edges stick out to rip another hole in your fashionable jeans and for those looking for the best budget fidget toy the magnetic lock doubles as a very satisfying clicker and what's better than a budget fidget clicker is one that you'll always have on you obviously it is still a pop socket in the end so you can pop it open to double as a phone stand great for some late night one-handed activities after a hard day of popping open all those bottles with your new tool of choice it is still swappable if you want to slim down on wednesdays but depending on your phone and case you may lose out on wireless charging if you're the type to enjoy charging at slower speeds or something before i move on a huge shout out to amaze for

moving on to the main event sort of because attached to the outside of the sling is my wallet of choice i featured this previously but it's so damn useful especially during the rainy season this is the five bags micro pouch it's nothing fancy literally a small pocket with a single zipper but the material and build quality is what you're really paying for this is the x-pac model originally made for sail cloths to withstand extreme environments so you know it'll hold up in your back pocket i will admit the water sealed ykk zipper is a little overkill but i love it it's a wallet you don't have to treat like a baby be afraid to use or shed a tear for when you scratch it by accident seriously if we were picking teams for dodgeball i'd pick this x pack micro pouch over you any day of the week now in use unzip and web bam that's well that's it the rest is up to you great if you like to hoard points cards but also easily fits a stash of daily essentials too that's the beauty of a pouch it can expand to fit whatever you store inside wads of cash and coin keys and my favorite all of the above and then some like a multi-tool so you can keep your goodies separated and not be afraid to claw yourself when you reach into your pocket combine that with your carabiner of choice and clip it onto your bag or belt making it also one of the secures wallets too that you can confidently share with your phone if you're super careful with it like i am although i highly do not recommend testing its durability while tucked away either now taking a look at the sling bag itself this is the topology brick pouch honestly a new favorite sling of mine thanks to this which you should not mistaken for other adult-like toys as it is definitely not as comfy as it looks but this additional sleeve pocket finally solves my biggest striper slings not being able to carry a bottle comfortably on the go the elastic cord system keeps whatever you stick inside nice and tight and the beauty of this bag is its ability to transform into a vertical pouch too with the pockets designed to accommodate the upright orientation as well but also just ditching the strap all together and making it the most functional water bottle koozie thanks to the top handle carry method too this is right up there in the techwear vibes dressing up your water bottle for the great outdoors i know what you're thinking though as that was my first concern too will it slip out of the large opening and honestly once tightened in it passed my scientific shake test without moving the slightest while still being quickly accessible on the fly it also isn't limited to bottles which is especially useful for these upcoming wetter months i finally don't have to dread carrying a wet umbrella around with me but on the regular for all my sweat buddies out there you can also easily carry those additional layers too now in terms of what i'd actually store inside a much smaller solution to staying hydrated this is the memo bottle a7 size with their new silicone sleeve and blacked out metal cap although it's a very simple and thick silicone sleeve it's the fact that it fits precisely to the bottle and it feels great in the hand giving you some grip over the glossy finish of the plastic i will admit the upgraded metallic blacked out cap is a little overkill as well but i honestly don't regret it because it looks better feels better and overall is better at staying closed come on matt black everything am i right but the premise of memo bottle itself is the flat design the a7 being the tiniest it's comparable to a deck of playing cards almost exactly in height and depth and while it's a handy dandy bottle on its own sometimes you may just want to keep the liquid inside a mystery you know for those nissan nephew birthday parties where you're forced to sit at the kids table and although only 180 milliliters the beauty of its small size is this even without a bag the flat end itty bitty size fits perfectly in my back pocket taking a look inside the bag now starting with the front compartment a fairly spacious design that can adapt and carry thanks to the puffed out exterior with several sleeve pockets to marry condo your edc on the go so continuing the topic of overkill we've got the catalyst total protection case for the airpods pro which when it comes to staying dry can't be beat because your air pods are literally locked and sealed away in this you can actually go swimming with them although i'm not sure why you would but it's knowing that you can that counts it's all thanks to this latch lock that keeps the silicone steel shut so no dust debris or in this case liquid can get into the airpods itself as a case though it doesn't interfere with the usage it's got a cutout for the led silicone button cover that still offers a decent click and although cumbersome the silicone lightning plug is quintessential to keeping the air pods booty bone dry catalyst also isn't exaggerating when they say total protection because the hard shell exterior combined with the silicone lining means you can carefully set your airpods down like this and not once did the airpods open on impact the latch will stay shut no matter how hard you rub against it and even through my scientific shake test now obviously the trade-off is the two extra steps you have to perform to access them now but if you've ever had airpods fly out of your case upon impact you'd understand why this is worth it finally unlike other cases with a keyring loop that sticks out all the time i'm very glad they've got a folding design as i don't always want one connected and prefer the folded away design anyways but when i do it's to save some pocket space as i'm confident they won't fall out on their own just try not to show off how strong the case is so close to your own baggage moving along the next one is my favorite piece of edc the slice edc folding knife this tiny cutie is exactly what i've wanted for a pocket blade first off it uses a ceramic blade while not as sharp as a metal one it's much much safer while it's still possible to do some damage to yourself it's highly unlikely unless you're really trying to but as a tool it does exactly what i needed to do cut boxes and it does it really well too i've also learned that the beauty of ceramic is that it doesn't dull as easily either now i've got the curve point blade on this making it doubly safe but slice does offer a pointed version for some more serious cutting i will say the rounded point struggles with more flexible and dense material such as rope although with enough willpower anything is possible but if you're like me and only carry a blade for the 37 packages you receive on the daily it does the job perfectly for cardboard and tape on top of that the tiny size is a huge bonus for me as it doesn't weigh down my pockets and although a cute little fellow the metallic and weighted body in the hand makes it feel like an actual industrial tool while the smooth edges means it's also not going to dig into you either you sort of just don't want to let it go add on top of that how addicting this is that final click is worth it alone but as a edc box cutter this is the cutest safest and most fidgety blade that i think i'm addicted to now when it comes to edc we can't forget the keys and although this key organizer from jibin may look like all the others it's got a few key differences that take it to the next level starting with the leather itself they call it a premium italian leather and sure it feels great but it's the details for me clean stitching and the rolled leather edges means it'll last longer versus painted ones then there's the main event wa-bam i'm clicking to reveal the inside huge props to gibben for keeping the branding hidden as to not compromise the clean aesthetics on the exterior but in the end it's this square screw that i'd say makes this organizer worth every penny because now you simply lay your keys down screw that sucker in like you usually do probably once a week and wha bam did you notice it you don't have to deal with the other flap trying to keep things aligned nor do you need any additional tools thanks to their snap and design this is it honestly it's one of the easiest setups i've experienced for a key organizer now you can swivel out your keys knowing exactly which is where then choose the one you need and wham bam your uncle sam when you're done fold it back in and everything stays aesthetically hidden away they also include an extension screw for six to nine keys for folks who own like several mansions or something but for us regular folks i'm able to fit five keys inside comfortably the side effect of this snap-in design no metallic screws sticking out on the exterior not only is it way more aesthetically pleasing to see a clean piece of leather it also means you can safely store this with your phone and not have to worry about the party in your front pocket anymore that you obviously weren't invited to lastly the detachable key ring up top is for anyone who has to carry one of these chunkers so while not ideal you at least don't have to deal with jingling keys while driving your toyota civic f1 or whatever cars are called nowadays next up i obviously had to include a dedicated fidget toy and this one from fidget things is a must-have if you like all things small and magnetic two of my personal best traits this is the chill pill and honestly is the best name they could have used first off obviously it's in the shape of a pill but the idea of taking a chill pill to relax is exactly what doing this is for fidget toys while sure is a toy is meant to help with anxiety for those who like to keep their hands busy and to occupy your brain into not overthinking why you responded you too when the delivery guy said enjoy your food but this is very simple two halves of a metallic pill with magnetics embedded in each gives you this although i can't deny the black on black they've got a range of metals colors and finishes to choose from plus if your partner threatens to kick you out if you make one more clicky noise they even offer dampeners because they care about your well-being personally i prefer the dampen sound too now if you collect multiple you can even swap them around to spice things up but his website allows you to mix and match the tops and bottoms from the get-go as well the best part of all these fidget toys are readily available they won't break the bank and are also extremely addictive next stored in the long sleeve pocket like it was made for it these are the news dino sunglasses a very very flat pair of sunglasses which is kind of the point but then when you take it out of the included hard shell it goes from zero to 100 real quick looking like a regular pair of shades that goes for when it's mounted on your face too not only do they look good they fit great thanks to the lightweight design the matte black frame is surprisingly sturdy for how thin it is and these arms although very thin do a great job clamping onto my head and passing my scientific shape tests here too i will say they're not great with glare and could be a deal breaker for some but for a regular walk around the city these are perfect as they don't weigh you down plus they can also take a beating thanks to the screwless design it's one less component you have to worry about breaking off but more importantly you don't have to treat these like your second baby born and just use them as intended although if you do care enough the hard shell case provides some decent protection when snapped in if for whatever reason you needed to do this all day but even in its case although long it's only about as thick as four to five credit cards and if that's still too thick the lanyard hole makes for a very fashionable necklace too that's the front pocket but we all know the real party is always around back it's got additional external button snap pockets and just this large storage compartment that almost folds completely flat open great for larger items like this the bellroy notebook cover and pen combo yes i do recommend carrying a notebook no matter where you go because there's something about the freedom to doodle take notes or just create some masterpiece as inspiration strikes it's the one thing a touch screen hasn't successfully replicated just yet the notebook cover does include its own pocket size notebook but it will fit any standard pocket field notes moleskin or rhodia 2. sometimes you just have to keep your billion dollar idea protected in style it also offers some additional pockets on the opposite end great for business cards doubling as a wallet but also spacious enough for receipts and other daily essentials they also offer enough space on the spine to comfortably fit a pen clipped in as well so you've got the full package ready to go to top off how bougie this is though they've even got embedded magnets that help keep the notebook closed shut because why not you get what you pay for and that goes for the leather itself too this top grain feels smooth and can take a beating so your poor paper notebook doesn't have to but in the end like everything else you're accessorizing an accessory some may not get that but for others like you and i it's just a way of life comment what your must have springtime edc is down below mine definitely goes to this stay hydrated kids but that's it i rest my spring edc
