As the segment’s monicker suggests, everyday carry gear is designed to be carried and used on a daily basis, day in and day out, week after week, year after year. As a result, these items need to be rugged and well-constructed enough to withstand the rigors and abuses that come with being used daily for an extended period — requirements that call for the use of more top-shelf materials and meticulous manufacturing. Unsurprisingly, pieces of gear crafted with these key characteristics very seldom come cheap, though if you’re patient, there are a few opportunities each year to acquire some of the best everyday carry kit at discounted prices — some of our favorite of which we’ve rounded up for this curated guide to the best Amazon Prime Day everyday carry deals.
