The James Brand Elko

Kind-of-Obsessed-James-Brand-The-Elko-gear-patrol-lead-full

Would they recommend it? Yes

“This is the perfect EDC knife. Like everything else James Brand makes, the Elko is solid, beautiful in its simplicity and multi-functional. It fits easily into your coin pocket or attached to your keyring. This small knife punches well above its weight.”
— Mikef, Novato

Filson C.C.F. Quilted Utility Jacket

filson-ccf-gear-patrol-slide-01

Would they recommend it? Yes

“I picked this up a few weeks back and finally got to break it out this weekend. It’s light enough during the transitional weather while providing much needed warmth.” — Sheraz, New York City

CRKT LCK

CRKT-Ruger-LCK-Folding-Pocket-Knife-gear-patrol

Would they recommend it? Yes

“My new EDC. I love how light and sharp it is. The sheepsfoot blade is great for fine tasks but still tough enough to handle harder ones.” — Sean, Seattle

Fitbit Charge 3

Best-Gifts-for-Gym-Lovers-gear-patrol-fitbit-charge-3

Would they recommend it? Yes

“Great every day fitness tracker. I wear it to monitor sleep, steps, and daily heart rate. Overall I can’t complain as the functionality and app are extremely user friendly. As my fitness journey continues, I can see myself upgrading to the Versa 2 or something more complex.” — Blake, San Francisco

Specialized S-Works Enduro

Specialized-Enduro-MTB-gear-patrol-slide-3

Would they recommend it? No

“It’s the evolution of an already good bike, but not in the way I hoped. It has gone from a back country all-day epic descent bike to a light [downhill] race bike.”
— Brian, San Francisco

Wyze Bulb

Wyze-Smart-Bulb-gear-patrol-lead-full

Would they recommend it? Yes

“I don’t know about you, but I hate getting out of bed to turn the lights off. Problem solved. They don’t have all the fancy features of something like a Hue bulb, but at $30 for a four-pack, they’re the cheapest smart bulbs around. Bonus: they integrate with Wyze’s cameras and sensors.” — Ari, Los Angeles

Canon EOS R

New-Camera-Season-Gear-Patrol-Canon

Would they recommend it? Yes

“I switched from the Canon 1D X MK II, and I couldn’t be happier to now work with a smaller body that’s still super capable of delivering high quality photos and video.”
— Sebastian, Copenhagen

Sennheiser MOMENTUM 2 Headphones (Discontinued)

Would they recommend it? Yes

“All I needed was that first song. That first song furthered the inveterate quality of Sennheiser headphones. Alongside the impeccable sound, the headphones provide long lasting comfort with the foam, noise-canceling ear cups. Plugged into my Hi-Fi with my favorite vinyl turning is perfection.” — Patrick, Melbourne

TIGI Bed Head Matte Wax

TIGI-Bed-Head-wax-gear-patrol

Would they recommend it? Yes

“It’s a matte clay with a great finish. It’s easy to rinse off and can be adjusted during the day.” — Markus, Germany
