Pioneer Carry Wallets Are Now in the Gear Patrol Store

This post is presented by the Gear Patrol Store. Purchasing products from our store support our editorial efforts.

Pioneer Carry wallets have been on the gift lists of Gear Patrollers ever since the company launched its first collection in 2016. The combination of technical fabrics and simple, functional design had our attention from the get-go, but with the introduction of each new model and colorway, our admiration grew. Last year, we were so intrigued that we pulled aside Pioneer Carry’s founder, Henry Lefens, for an interview, picking his brain about the genus of the collection and what might be next.

For many of us at Gear Patrol, Pioneer wallets represent the epitome of good product development. They answer a question in a unique way while providing lift to the user’s life. For Henry, that question was simple. Is it possible to produce a wallet with the appeal and precision of a high-end leather good in a technical material? Spoiler alert: Yes.

That’s why we’re excited to announce that you can now purchase the full line up of Pioneer wallets in the Gear Patrol Store. Go ahead, ditch the dad wallet. You’ll be glad you did.

The Lineup

Pioneer uses a custom 10XD ripstop nylon fabric and FutureForm core technology to make a wallet that’s naturally dirt and water repellant and sturdy as hell. And for all their high-tech appeal, Pioneer wallets are reasonably priced; the largest model, the Flyfold, is $85.

Pioneer has applied its winning formula to four distinct models that range in size from a large-capacity bifold to a sleek card holder. Each model is offered in three colorways: black, blue and onyx, Pioneer’s most understated look.

Win at Winter With These Deals From the Gear Patrol Store

This post is presented by the Gear Patrol Store. Purchasing products from our store supports our editorial efforts.

We love winter. And whether we’re on the mountain carving turns or going for runs along the East River, we rely on great products to keep us warm. We’ve discounted some of our favorite winter goods from the Gear Patrol Store. Shop now and enjoy free shipping to anywhere in the United States.

Faribault Scout Blanket

Faribault has been making superlative woolen goods since 1865. Their time-tested processes produce full, warm weaves that are robust while still being soft and cozy. The Scout blanket is Faribault’s re-interpretation of the classic Civil War stripe blanket, made from 100% wool in one of the last vertically-integrated mills in the United States. We’ve paired the Scout with the Gear Patrol x Faribault-branded blanket carrier. This simple accessory makes transporting and stowing your Scout easy and, constructed from natural bridle leather and secured with brass rivets and hardware, will last as long as your Faribault blanket will.

Askov Finlayson x Gear Patrol Knit Cap

Askov Finlayson believes that winter should be enjoyed, not endured. We crafted the Gear Patrol x Askov Finlayson Knit Hat to be a hearty piece of headgear to get you through the coldest days. It’s woven from 100% lambswool and sports a Gear Patrol Orange flash held fast by a brass rivet. Produced in limited quantities exclusively for Gear Patrol.

American Trench x Gear Patrol Beanies

We partnered with our friends at American Trench to produce the perfect beanie for wear all winter long. Constructed in a single piece (no seams!) from a 70/30 blend of merino and cashmere in three distinct colors, the Gear Patrol x American Trench Beanie is soft and lightweight, perfectly balancing comfort and warmth. Produced in Texas exclusively for Gear Patrol.

Mountain Standard x Gear Patrol Utility Glove

Mountain Standard has been producing their leather utility glove for years, making it a perennial go-to for a range of activities. Constructed from highly durable goatskin, lined with microfleece and cuffed with Neoprene with velcro closure, the Gear Patrol x Mountain Standard glove is our execution of the tried-and-true design featuring a Gear Patrol Orange hang dry finger loops and detachable wrist leash. Produced exclusively for Gear Patrol in limited quantities.

Winterize Your Head with this Cashmere Blend

It’s easy to let yourself be shunted inside by dropping temps and rising winds. But you can combat Mother Nature with a warm and stretchy beanie that’s built to last all winter long. From the first wear, you’ll feel the richness of Italian-spun yarn, carefully pressed and pre-washed for zero shrinkage. The blended wool knit will keep its form over years of use, even if it gets wet or needs to be washed after months of daily wear. And while the Merino wool fibers and cashmere yarns are processed and produced in Italy, the hat itself is made right here in the U.S.A.

No matter where you’re going or what you’re wearing, the gray, indigo and merlot-colored caps top off any outfit. Thanks to its tight-knit design, the hat doesn’t take up that much space, yet it feels ready to get you through whatever weather lies between you and your destination.

Pick up one of these hats today — it’s sure to remain a staple, season after season.

Introducing the Gear Patrol Special Edition Watch

A dependable watch is one you’ll never want to remove from your wrist. Better yet, you shouldn’t have to. It’s tough enough to take out in the field (wherever that is) and sharp enough for, let’s say, the office. The Hamilton Khaki Navy Scuba Auto is just that — it excels in daily life. And this particular dive watch is a superb choice for both first-time mechanical watch buyers and those looking for a quality mechanical timepiece that is sub-$1k. It is at once a rugged watch that moonlights as a handsome everyday timepiece making it more than just a diver.

Which is why Gear Patrol has teamed up with Hamilton for a very limited-edition version of the watch brand’s distinguished dive watch. This first-of-its-kind creation for Hamilton has produced a very limited run of these Gear Patrol Special Edition timepieces.

This Swiss-made watch features a robust 40mm stainless steel case with a uni-directional, ratcheting bezel. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal ensures protection while the black dial is well-suited for legibility in low light with its large luminous trapezoidal cardinal hour indices and printed 24-hour track.

Key Specs

Case Diameter: 40mm
Lug Width: 20mm
Movement: H-10 Automatic

Inside, the acclaimed three-hand H-10 Automatic movement beats at 21600 bph and boasts an 80-hour power reserve and quickset date. A blaze orange sweep-second hand adds distinction to this unique special edition timepiece.

The Gear Patrol Special Edition Watch comes mounted on your choice of the standard stainless steel link bracelet or the black NATO-style nylon strap with orange interior and brushed stainless steel hardware — another understated nod to the tried-and-true Gear Patrol colors.
