While on the floor at SHOT Show 2019, we stopped by one of our favorite vendors, Gerber Gear. Although they have several new products hitting the shelves, their folding dagger and fixed blade dagger continue […]

The Solo Black Ops Altitude Backpack is a fashionable yet durable pack for EDC. I have never heard of Solo New York gear until receiving this pack. After doing a little bit of digging, they started developing items ranging from backpacks to tablet cases to briefcases in 2008 with a style and functionality inspired by the streets […]
ESEE knives are popular amongst Loadout Room writers. From the SERE instructor to our editor, ESEE knives receive a lot of praise and for a good reason. I have owned an ESEE 6 for years, but I only recently got my hands on the ESEE-3 MIL, and it certainly does not disappoint. The ESEE-3 MIL may be the smallest out of […]
