NEWS – The situation: I carry a bunch of EDC gear, and I’m pretty partial to the “tacticool” style that’s been around for some time. Tactical Geek’s EDC Wallets and Pouches check both boxes for me. They are well designed and packed with many EDC organizer-style features and are available in multiple sizes and colorways,
