Never leave home without one. I’m always amazed others don’t do it as well.

I carry a 5.11 Rush 72. Uually there’s:

  • a camera; Fuji X-S20
  • contact lens cleaner and storage
  • small bicycle pump
  • 2 sunglasses (Oakley M2 & Ray-Ban Wayfarer)
  • sunscreen during summer
  • floppy boonie hat during summer
  • one/two pocket knives
  • a single watch storage case, usually with a watch in it
  • a strip of blood pressure medication
  • two powdered ibuprofen painkillers
  • a bandaid or two
  • a pen

And there’s bound to be something like a roll of candy, a snack, a water bottle, etc in it at any given time.

I love those Wayfarers. I have a pair of Foldies (knock off brand that fold into a sort of little cube) in light blue. Polarized sunglasses are the best!

They are excellent; very comfortable and always in fashion for those who care. My particular ones are non-polarized.

The Oakleys I have ARE polarized, and for a lot of situations it’s really handy for sure. Great at cutting annoying reflections on water, allows you to see through glass with reflections, etc.
