Awesome Flashlights

Carbon fiber is one of our favorite materials thanks to its low weight, durability, and technical aesthetics. Everyday Carry’s The Loadout showcases a collection of five great pocket accessories, all incorporating real carbon fiber. Do you prefer the woven style of the Ridge wallet or the forged look of the Victorinox pocket knife?

This shiny stainless steel flashlight has one of the most striking designs we’ve seen. It’s definitely not meant for stealth, but its mirrored finish, deep cutouts, and electric blue accents look awesome. Plus, it blasts out up to 4000 lumens, shooting its beam as far as 721 feet. That scalloped front edge is an emergency strike tool.
