EDC gear
KIZIK handsfree shoes
Shoes are considered EDC, right? You “carry” them with you every day on your feet! And what’s better than a cool looking shoe? A cool looking shoe that you can take on and off without using your hands, that’s what. KIZIK men’s and women’s shoes are truly hands-free – you just pop ‘em on and pop ‘em off. There are no special laces or anything else to deal with. They are comfortable and fit like regular shoes, but they have a specially designed heel that allows you to slide your foot into and out of the shoe effortlessly. Check out Howard’s KIZIK Hands Free New York Shoe review for all the details and then head over to KIZIK.com to buy a pair. They even have dress shoes now.

The Cairn Mini Lantern from Lander is an ultra-bright, EDC LED light with fast recharge and waterproof features. It also included is an anchor system that lets you hang or attach the Cairn to anywhere you need a light source. And the best part is that it’s only $11.99 right now from lander.com

You’ll never miss a beat with this powerful charger that combines multiple adapters into one sleek charger that’s great at home or on-the-go. The Satechi 75W Dual Type-C PD Travel Charger can simultaneously charge a laptop, tablet, and two smartphones. I don’t know about you, but when I travel, I end up carrying eleventy billion chargers with me so that I have one for my phone, one for better half’s phone, one for my MacBook, and usually another one for some gadget that I’m currently testing. That’s 4 chargers, 4 AC adapters, and assorted cables. UGH! The Satechi 75W Dual Type-C PD Travel Charger saves a ton of space in my bag which makes my back happy! You can grab one for $69.99 from Amazon.

Forget about small folding keyboards and go wearable with the Tap Strap wearable keyboards. You will be able to input text on the go with this unique input device. There is a bit of a learning curve, but once you learn, your friends will be envious of your futuristic productivity skills. Head over to tapwithus.com for more info and to buy the Tap Strap 2 for special holiday pricing of $139.30 instead of the normal price of $199.
Kobo Libra H20 eReader
I love reading eBooks and normally do it on my smartphone. But if you like to relax with a book in the sunny outdoors, it can be almost impossible to read the screen. That’s why when we go on vacation, I always pack a Kobo eReader. They have great battery life, easy to read screen, and they help you disconnect and focus on the book you’re reading instead of notifications and other apps on your phone or tablet.
Kobo’s Libra H20 has a comfortable to hold and use with easy-to-use page-turn buttons and an ergonomic design that allows you to turn it to read in landscape orientation. With ComfortLight PRO and full waterproofing, you can read it in the night and at the beach without any worries.
The Kobo’s Libra H20 is $199.99 directly from Kobo.
