Tactical gear isn't just a hobby, it's an obsession. That being said, I'll die before I give up the durability, convenience, and light weight that comes with everything tactical.

Not to mention the look. If you're someone who selects the ERDL option of a product when available, I have some of the best choices here for you.

Monarch Strap for the Apple Watch

The #1 Choice for a tactical Apple Watch strap

The Monarch Strap is UAG's toughest Apple Watch band yet, made from FKM fluoroelastomer for durability & the angled hardware prevents pinching, while the perforated design keeps it breathable for all-day wear.

What We Looked For

  • Function over Form While tactical gear looks good, it's also important that it still delivers on function.
  • Everyday Carry Essentials Nothing on this list will sit on a shelf and gather dust.
  • Fits Your Look I don't know about you, but I'll pass on the hot pink tac-pants. I don't care how many pockets it has.
  • Quality You can rely on every item on this list to outperform and outlast any of its competitors.

5. Field Notes - Vintage Collection

I've been obsessed with Field Notes since 2019 when I watched the founder, Aaron Draplin, talk about making the notebooks by hand, and how important the perfect notebook was to his design work.

It's a simple product, but absolutely perfected through years of obsession. There's something to be said there about using a tool with that much effort behind it.

It also helps that they just look damn good. The limited edition changes quarterly, so there's always something fresh in store. It's also a great way to organize your notebooks, and remember what is from what time period in your life.

6. Peak Design - Wash Pouch

Alright lads, this is either a sleeper pick, or I've been under a rock. You let me know.

Until maybe a month ago, all of my daily hygiene has been strewn around the bathroom and very disorganized. If I was ever traveling or outdoors, I would throw everything in a plastic bag and hit the road.

This sounds stupid, but having a dedicated bag for everything has sort of changed everything for me. That's about it. A wash bag is definitely a must-have, and Peak Design's is perfect.
