It’s actually a brilliant name in today’s social media culture #EDC
It totally is. And it will be a perfect name for SEO marketing.

The name is less than ideal, curious who he came up with that.
This is perhaps for future plans for that company to offer other products beyond watches?
My wife tells me that cargo pants are coming back into style... so maybe they will capitalize on all of the crazy shit that the EDC crowd brings to their offices.

I only recently learnt that they went out of style, where am I supposed to put my stuff?

And 7” shorts? Really???
I switched to Royal Robbins several years back for their cargo shorts that don't look like cargo shots. They hold up really good.

Royal Robbins is the brand that later split into 5.11. The two owners started the company in Modesto, California.

They later parted ways and one started 5.11, which for years was also headquartered in Modesto.

Is one owner better person than the other one?

I have no idea. I used to shop at the RR store in Modesto, then picked up stuff at the 5.11 HQ. I lived not far from there for a while.

I believe 5.11 was sold, but the founder was a big supporter of law enforcement.

Well my first impression is it's a piece of junk. Movement stops when I screw the crown all the way in. It starts again when I back it out slightly. Sigh...
