With articulated arms, an adjustable sleeve and loads of deep pockets this jacket is smart in urban areas and practical for wearing on a winter hike on the trails as well as having a distinct natural dye that will patina in a ‘rugged lived in way’ over time.

The blade is inspired by the Nessmuk knife which is great for slicing and food prep as well as day to day tasks. The black DLC coating on the blade resists rust and the liner lock is sturdy. Overall a great EDC for under $50 from a trustworthy USA brand. Continue reading Gerber Confidant Jade Knife Review
