Professional Gear Reviews
Every day, readers like you proudly share photos of their everyday carry on the site. Not only is looking through their pockets this way super interesting, but it’s also a great way to find really cool gear you never even knew existed (yet somehow, suddenly need…). When you hover over an item you like and […]
The Flag Bungee is a simple yet effective tool for carrying Old Glory with you on all your operations. Currently, users are attaching their flags using retention bands or some other improvised means to secure their flags to their armor. This works, but is prone to failure and is unreliable. Something as important as your country’s […]
Even if you can cram everything you’d ever need in your EDC pack, it’s only useful if it’s easy to get to at a moment’s notice. Most traditional backpack designs make more sense for simply lugging gear from point A to point B, while crossbody slings and messenger bags make for a more nimble EDC […]

As you may know, I’m a bit of a Yeti fanboy. While kicking around at Outdoor Retailer in Salt Lake City, I happened across another cool product from this titan of chill. Yet this is Yetis first product designed not to keep your drinks cold. What’s that you say? Yep, designed NOT to keep anything […]
Selecting a main load bearing piece of equipment can be a tough choice. Some guys like plate carriers and the protection that’s comes with them. Other guys choose a Chest Rig because of the free movement and lighter loadout, plus being light means you’re fast, making you a harder target. It’s no shock to everyone […]
We recently received several products from FlowFold to test and evaluate. I reviewed their Vanguard Wallet which has been working out really well as a lightweight minimalist wallet. In this short review we are taking a look at the Optimist 10 Liter Mini Backpack. Honestly one of the best things I like about the Optimist […]
PROLOGUE Battle belts have been a quickly growing and evolving trend amongst militaries around the world, and thus have spread to the civilian users as well. Whether in the use of soldiers, private contractors, civilian shooters or airsoft players, the concept of battle belt is seemingly here to stay and is constantly evolving to meet […]
