Upgrade your everyday carry setup with these 22 picks

What we carry says a lot about what’s important to us, who we are, and who we aspire to be. This fall, it’s worth examining what you bring with you every day and thinking about how you could refine it. Perhaps you carry too much, and a utility pouch that’s just a bit bigger than a wallet could reduce (or at least help organize) the clutter in your pockets or purse. Or perhaps you want to be more prepared for what the day could bring, with compact tools like a notepad, pen, and maybe a multitool.

We created this guide to help you upgrade your everyday carry setup. It’s full of gear we use every day and tools you might want to make a part of your daily rotation. Your setup doesn’t have to be complicated, expensive, or include the same flashlight, lever-action pen, and pocket knife as everyone else. But if you do want more inspiration, the everyday carry subreddit is full of people who proudly show off their optimized setups.
