Congratulations to our winners! Please send us an email to claim your prize and we’ll get your gift certificate issued!

Wow! This is great! A “What’s in your pocket” contest seems so cool! This is fun!
Congrats to the winners!
Very nice. I’ll have to take a couple snaps of my EDC.
I’d like to get some more info on that TAD/ITS pouch!
It would have been nice to also see how they carry all this. Is it just in the pockets? Do they use a hostler a bag a fanny pack…
X-actly! I would like to see someone carry all that in their pockets all the time. Im deployed and I dont put that much in my pockets, too hard to walk and move dawg. Nice gear though.
All of these look very doable to me but then again, I prefer to keep things as light as possible. A lot of people will carry stuff on the belts or backpocket or maybe in cargo pants. I understand what you mean though and maybe a video explanation would be a nice addition to each post.
