New Products from The Ridge
The Ridge began its retaliation against bulk and excessive EDC with a series of slim front pocket plate wallets. Four years and over 200,000 Ridge Wallet owners later, the company is injecting its contemporary, minimalist aesthetic and uncompromised functionality into 2 new essential pieces of EDC: the smartphone case and the backpack.
The Card Case for iPhone 6 and up is a streamlined protective frame cloaked in oil waxed full grain leather. It has 2 pockets on the back able to hold 1 to 2 cards for instant access, plus a raised bevel to protect your phone screen and camera, without limiting access to any buttons or ports. The case weighs 0.5 ounces, and comes in 3 different leather stains with accent stitching at the pockets.
Also ascending The Ridge are The Commuter and The Weekender, 15" and 17" backpacks with waterproof nylon shells and built-in USB charging ports. The Ridge calls them "rugged and practical bag[s] packed with features and no gimmicks." And while both have capacity for more than a few of your cards and dollar bills - such as a laptop in their shockproof compartment, and 2 water bottles in expandable holders - they still maintain The Ridge's trademark slim aesthetic.
A final slim feature of The Ridge: as a Black Friday special they're shaving 15% off your whole purchase. Click here to browse the Ridge online store, and then enter the code BF2017 at checkout.

Due to my hulking presence and penetrating stare, people usually know better than to try and steal...or touch...or come within 10 feet of my stuff. But I'll grant that theft, and pickpocketing in particular, is a worldwide...
Tactical Walls Inserts & Concealment Covers

Batman Backpack
I guess since the Dark Knight Rises motorcycle suit pretty much congeals itself to the body of whomever puts it on with nary a pocket to spare, UD Replicas figured they better come out with some sort of supplemental storage...

Urban Tool Shoulder Holsters

Dakine BC Utility Vest
I was recently at a bar for happy hour and it was jam packed with 1) Amazon employees and 2) Amazon employees' backpacks. I felt like I was at Adult Latch Key. They got let out of work but their mamas couldn't pick them...
