Minaal Carry-on 2.0

They don’t make them like they used too. Originally made from spent bullet cases by British soldiers in the first world war, this WW1 Brass Trench Lighter is a replica of the old faithful ‘Cartridge-Case’ lighter. Handmade from solid brass, it’s fuelled by lighter fluid and ignited by flint. The Trench Lighter features a sliding storm guard to shield the flame from adverse weather conditions, meaning you’ve got a flame whenever you need it.

The NEBO REDLINE #5581 is a tactical flashlight that packs a powerful 220 lumens of pure white light in its compact anodised aircraft-grade aluminium body. Featuring five lighting modes giving you a choice between 100%, 50%, or 10% brightness, as well as S.O.S and emergency strobe mode, this flashlight keeps you safer than the average torch. 50 lumens within a 10 yard distance can be enough to cause temporary blindness when viewed directly. The emergency strobe mode on the REDLINE rapidly flashes at full power (220 lumens), so if you’re out at night and stranger danger appears, this’ll slow them down. It’s also really really hard and has a ‘tactical edge’… The bezel on the front REDLINE rotates so you can control the adjustable beam from being a flood light, illuminating everything within 20 yards, all the way to to being a spotlight up to 150 yards away. The base is magnetic so you can stick wherever allows. Hang it from the light fixtures during a power cut, or stick it to your car while you’re fixing something.

It’s stylish, it’s tactile, it’s begging for compliments… and it’s a fully-fledged laptop bag taking up to 15″.

The bottom of the bag and front pocket is made from durable 210D PU coated ripstop nylon, and because it’s a backpack, everything needs to feel nice while you’re walking around wearing it so the Jet Pack 2.0 utilises an AirMesh ventilated shoulder harness and back panel. It looks great, feels great, and keeps your stuff safe. It also pairs well with the medium-sized Cocoon GRID-IT Organiser, fitting snug in the tablet sleeve.

Bellroy’s Note Sleeve Wallet is one of our all time favourite cash carriers. It’s made from premium vegetable tanned leather made under world-class environmental stewardship standards. It’s durable, feels amazing, ages beautifully, and it holds bank notes, coins (if you’re into that), and up to 11 cards. Holding that much stuff you’d think it’d be a bulky mess, however this is where the slim Note Sleeve Wallet excels, mainly down to Bellroy’s innovative pull tab system allowing you to stack cards together out of sight while easily being able to access them with a quick pull of a tab. It also has 3 quick-access card-slots for your most used cards in the front, and in the billfold pocket you’ll find yet another card-slot, and a concealed flap-protected pocket that you can securely store coins in. It’s like the swiss-army knife of the wallet world. Coming in eight stunning colours, there’s sure to be at least one you’ll fall in love with, and if you’re a security-freak wanting your contactless cards on lockdown – they also offer an RFID protected version in three colours for a little extra cash.

It’s also pretty much indestructible. I’ve personally had this on my keyring and it’s been one of the most useful things I’ve carried.

We all know drinking plenty of water everyday is a good thing, but sometimes we lose track and forget to hydrate. Joseph Joseph’s innovative Dot water bottle tracks how much you’ve drank by adding dots to the lid every time you refill. Those extra steps to and from the toilet can’t be a bad thing either.

Taking minimalism to a whole new level, the Keybrid is a beautiful fusion of form and function. The Keybrid arrives like any other blank key that you get cut to your unique lock, only this one you’ll want to Instagram – but don’t, not after it’s cut anyway… there’s some creepy people out there.
