EDC
G-SHOCK GRAVITYMASTER GWR-B3000
Inspired by the extreme mechanical demands and high-velocity environments of supersonic flight, the G-SHOCK GRAVITYMASTER GWR-B3000 emerges as a premier pilot’s watch designed to fuse precise performance, rugged durability, and eye-catching style. At the heart of the watch’s advanced engineering is the newly developed TOUGH MVT.2 (Tough Movement 2) system. This proprietary movement automatically corrects the hand position when sudden shocks are detected. Additionally, it features built-in magnetic field detection, which keeps the analog hands securely in place until any localized magnetic interference has completely subsided.
To achieve maximum toughness in the field or cockpit, the watch features a newly developed dual hollow case structure. This layout incorporates a shock-absorbing resin layer nestled inside a durable metal case outfitted with specialized resin-buffering components. This sophisticated construction provides enhanced resistance against severe shocks, heavy centrifugal forces, and persistent vibrations. As a solar-powered timekeeping instrument, the GRAVITYMASTER also delivers reliable 200-meter water resistance, allowing it to transition seamlessly between demanding conditions on land, in the air, and in the water.
Urban
Craighill Spectra Scissors
While standard household scissors easily handle the majority of day-to-day cutting needs, certain tasks demand a specialized tool engineered for superior precision. Enter the Craighill Spectra Scissors, designed explicitly to provide enhanced control and accuracy during fine cutting work. The scissors pair a comfortable, finger-notched grip with a lightweight, balanced architectural profile. Constructed from durable stainless steel complemented by vinyl-dipped rings and a protective ceramic coating, these scissors are available in four distinct colorway options and weigh a mere three ounces, ensuring comfortable handling during extended creative or professional use.
Outlier Awoolybrushed Hoodie-up and Offshoulder
Seeking a softer, lighter alternative to their established Awoolyflannel fabric, the technical apparel innovators at Outlier introduced the Awoolybrushed material, crafted from a performance blend of 45% merino wool and 55% polyester. The natural merino wool component delivers reliable insulation properties even when the fabric becomes wet, while the integrated polyester fibers actively wick moisture across the surface of the material to accelerate evaporation. The result is a lightweight textile that dries rapidly, making it exceptionally well-suited for damp, cooler weather conditions.
This innovative fabric debuts across two distinct silhouettes: the Awoolybrushed Hoodie-up and the Awoolybrushed Offshoulder. The Hoodie-up cleverly combines the formal structure of a traditional button-up shirt with an integrated hood, whereas the Offshoulder features a wide cut that allows it to function flexibly as either a standalone button-up shirt or a relaxed overshirt.
Pas Normal Studios x Porter Collection
Danish high-end cycling brand Pas Normal Studios and iconic Japanese carry manufacturer Porter have joined forces once again, delivering the sixth installment of their ongoing collaborative series. This latest capsule offers a comprehensive range of carry options designed to bring everyday functionality through a distinctly cycle-friendly lens.
At the core of the collection are the Frame Bag and Handlebar Bag, both specifically tailored for life on a bicycle. These are complemented by a practical Saddle Bag and a compact Coin Case, alongside a versatile Backpack and a unique, cycling-optimized spin on a classic Tote Bag. Material selection reflects a commitment to structural integrity and hard-wearing performance, utilizing Oxford woven nylon for clean structure and Ripstop nylon for exceptional durability, all secured by dependable YKK Vislon zippers.
KILLSPENCER LIMITED SUPPLY — No. 01
There is a distinct appeal to carrying accessories crafted from rare and unconventional materials. KILLSPENCER leans directly into this philosophy with their LIMITED SUPPLY series, a new product line featuring small-production releases built using rare, vintage, and specialty materials available only in strictly limited quantities.
The inaugural release in this series showcases a striking collection of bags fabricated from authentic vintage orange parachute fabric. Each individual piece in the collection displays unique natural markings and distinct character, with available options including small and large accessory bags, a specialized shoe bag, and a rugged laundry bag.
Outdoor
Rab Microlighter Pullover and Microlight X Hoody
Rab’s acclaimed Microlight down jacket has long maintained its reputation as a reliable industry standard for lightweight down warmth. Expanding on this legacy, Rab introduced two new jackets inspired by the versatile original, each optimized for distinct outdoor environments and activity levels.
The Microlighter is offered in both a Pullover Down Hoody and a traditional Down Jacket option, engineered specifically to maintain body heat during fast-paced activities such as mountain hikes or trail runs, while serving as an adaptable, highly packable mid-layer. It features low-bulk baffles packed with TXdown down-infused sheet insulation that sits flatter against the body for effortless layering, improved compressibility, and enhanced breathability during active pursuits.
For outdoor enthusiasts prioritizing an optimized balance between minimal weight and maximum thermal efficiency, the Microlight X Hoody offers a compelling alternative. Available in limited numbers, the Microlight X Hoody represents the most weight-efficient garment within Rab’s entire Microlight Collection. It utilizes premium 800 fill power goose down enhanced with a Grangers Down Defend treatment, housed inside a featherlight Pertex Quantum shell. Tailored for technical alpinism and fast alpine ascents, a men’s medium weighs just 390 grams and incorporates strategically zoned micro and nano baffles designed to maximize loft and heat retention while minimizing unnecessary bulk.
Db Weigh Lighter Hugger Backpack 30L
The Db Weigh Lighter Hugger Backpack 30L delivers a dramatic reduction in weight compared to its predecessor, coming in 54% lighter at a mere 520 grams. Constructed using advanced ALUULA Graflyte material, the pack is both UV- and water-resistant, as well as fully recycle-ready at the end of its functional lifecycle.
The backpack features a dedicated, padded 16-inch laptop compartment, Db’s patented Rib Cage Technology designed to maintain the structural integrity of the bag and protect sensitive gear, and a wide clamshell opening for unfettered access to the main compartment. Available in two colorways, the pack’s impressive strength-to-weight ratio makes it an exceptional companion for rugged outdoor excursions, while its sleek, multifunctional design transitions effortlessly to urban environments.
Black Diamond Mission Duffel
Black Diamond adopted a minimalist, sustainable design approach with the Mission Duffel, fabricating the entire bag from a single piece of recycled PET fabric. This construction method keeps the duffel ultralight while drastically reducing fabric waste to less than 1% of the body material. The duffel features an unseamed base and end panels, making it fully recyclable without the need for complex deconstruction at the end of its life, save for the removal of the metal buckles and zipper feet.
Available in spacious 100L and 130L capacities and weighing just 2.2 pounds and 2.5 pounds respectively, the Mission Duffel emphasizes simplicity, durability, and extreme packability, compressing down to the size of a standard guidebook when empty. The versatile carry system allows the main handles to double as shoulder and backpack straps. Built with remote and demanding alpine expeditions in mind, this expedition-grade duffel features a weather-flapped YKK #10 zipper, lockable zipper feet, an internal hanging pocket for maps and essential keys, and a dedicated ID zone.
Travel
No Reception Club Rollaway
Navigating travel with young children presents enough logistical hurdles without the added frustration of complicated, inefficient luggage configurations. To address this, the design team behind No Reception Club created the Rollaway, a carry-on roller tailor-made specifically for family travel.
The 40-liter suitcase features a significantly wider base than traditional roller designs alongside an extended telescoping handle, allowing parents to securely stack bulky children’s gear directly on top of the case. The Rollaway even incorporates an integrated seat latch design complete with anchor points to securely fasten a child’s car seat during transit. To ensure smooth navigation across diverse and challenging airport or street terrains, the suitcase rolls on oversized Hinomoto spinner wheels.
Internal organization is anchored by a removable cubby system equipped with customizable dividers, giving travelers the flexibility to keep gear neatly packed inside the suitcase or hang it directly in a hotel closet depending on space availability. Quick-access exterior pockets with lockable zippers keep frequently needed items secure yet readily available, and the case comes equipped with an integrated TSA-friendly lock. The Rollaway is built with a hybrid softshell and hardshell construction that merges durable polycarbonate with rugged Cordura fabric.
Pelican Midnight Blue Collection
Pelican introduced a sophisticated new Midnight Blue colorway for the autumn season, rolling out the deep-toned aesthetic across a wide array of travel and lifestyle gear. The colorway is available on their ATX line of carry-on and checked luggage, as well as their protective Micro Cases. Furthermore, the Midnight Blue finish extends to Pelican’s hard-shell coolers and Dayventure Tumblers. Inspired by the visual depths of the open ocean and clear night skies, the rich hue lends a refined aesthetic to both everyday carry setups and long-haul travel excursions.
Carl Friedrik Aluminium Check-in
Carl Friedrik expanded its luxury luggage lineup with the introduction of the Aluminium Check-in suitcase. Drawing aesthetic inspiration from the golden era of mid-century travel, the 76-liter checked suitcase features a robust anodized aluminum shell accented by premium vegetable-tanned leather detailing and steel-reinforced corners, hinges, and wheels.
Two TSA-approved combination locks secure the contents, while smooth-rolling Hinomoto spinner wheels provide effortless maneuverability. The interior is organized with a comprehensive system that includes a zippered garment compartment, an open packing section featuring a compression pad and securing straps, and two dedicated pockets for smaller essentials. Offered in three distinct leather colorway options, the Check-in is tailored for travelers seeking enduring style and durability.
WANDRD PRVKE + ROGUE Accessories
While primary bags frequently capture the spotlight, small modular accessories play an equally critical role in optimizing carry setups for maximum functional convenience. WANDRD addressed this by releasing an expanded ecosystem of new PRVKE and ROGUE accessories designed to augment the capabilities of their existing bags while maintaining cross-compatibility with other carry systems.
The new lineup includes large and small Tech Panels designed to corral loose electronic accessories, alongside a PRVKE Organization Pocket that attaches directly to the front exterior of all sizes of the PRVKE backpack. Premium Bungee Accessory Straps are also now available in a variety of colorways. Rounding out the collection are the ROGUE Accessory Pocket, designed to secure to the front of the ROGUE Sling, a weather-protective ROGUE Rainfly offered in two sizes, and ROGUE Premium Accessory Straps to provide additional external attachment points on the ROGUE Sling V2.
