Whats your Summer EDC?

[Paul6ppca]

Whith summer and longer daylight hours and shorts with limited pocket space, do you switch to a minimal summer EDC?
I do. This works for me very well.

My true year-round edc format hasn't changed in a while. A single cell 16340, 18350 or small 18650 light. (HDS, Okluma, Oveready, SF Lego.) A Spyderco Para3 with deep carry clip. A Swiss Army knife (Right now, a Compact) and mini Bic lighter in a small leather pocket slip. Wallet (Flip Side) keys phone glasses and one of three proven very compact high speed wireless peacekeeping devices with "refills" if I'm in-state or in a reciprocal state that day. This is my minimum off-property carry. Cargo shorts rule...

Incidentally made a YT video just a day or two ago for this!

Also, a Jetbeam U. Here's how it compares to an AA:

ZT0456F and a Eagtac D3A or Reylight LAN, just depends on which light I grab first.

I usually carry the Ti Rotary, clipped to a rear pocket.
Today I left the house, to run some daytime errands, with only the Tool in a vest pocket.

I felt naked.
Even though the Ti Rotary was in my daypack, it felt "far" out of reach. LOL

At night, it's the same all year-round a Malkoff MD2 of some type, bic, chapstick, vihn modded E01, a small utility sized blade, cell phone, custom leather card case, money clip, keys (with yuji photon and leatherman pry tool) and my self defense selection. In daytime- if shorts- SHO MDC swapped for the md2 and if t-shirt instead of untucked button down \ Columbia, I size down the self defense item.

No real change at all,my needs do not really change.

I still can not see without a light,just for a shorter period of time overall?

I don't work in shorts so nothing really changes on my person.

No change. Surefire EDCL-1T when not at work. Surefire e1e incan when at work.

My summer "weekender" EDC:

 

[Fireclaw18]

I don't change my EDC by season, but I do change it by mood and by what's new.

Currently I have an FW3C in my pocket with 10507 optic. I love the classy look of the polished copper before it tarnishes. That said, at 168g including cell, this is a bit heavy for EDC. I'll probably go back to an aluminum FW3A.

sos since about mid 2016, year 'round.

That's me. I can't wear shorts to work, so my EDC only changes when I find something new or find a new appreciation for something old.

Olight M1T Raider as the main light for use at work during Summer.

From my original post.
I just tried using my Nebo mycro on medium, but needed to look further ahead. So while it was on I pushed the turbo button, and turbo momentary came on! Cool.
I don't know why I did not think to try this🤔. But another useful feature for this keychain light.

At work, I carry a Malkoff [FONT=&quot]MDC XP-L 16650 500 Lumen Flashlight all year round in front left pocket. [/FONT]

Forgot to mention: Nitecore Tube now has permanent residency on my main keychain.

Very surprised too! I've put sooo many different tiny, compact lights on my main keychain. But my Photon Freedom has always managed to find its way back onto there. Yes, output not very impressive. But it's the only coin-cell light that is legit waterproof. And it's tiny, compact, thin size is almost unbeatable. Then I decided to try out the Tube. Not a Nitecore fan! Tried out their TIP previously. An unreliable and miserable failure! But gave the Tube a shot. Very glad I did. And love the U.I.

Tap for 5 lumens constant-on. Press and hold for momentary-on of 45 lumens. I'm happy with those output options on a keychain light.

My summer EDC is a Photon Freedom.This time of year there just isn't that much dark. In the winter I EDC a Surefire Titan-A. There is always something larger close by, if not then I carry my HDS.

I absolutely love the design and UI of the Tube. Unfortunately, almost every one I've ever owned has had it's LED solder pad break off! So infuriating.
