The Boulder Wallet: Big Adventure, Small Package
At first glance, The Boulder looks like it hit the gym and trimmed down your typical wallet while still sneaking in some multi-tool savvy. With dual compartments and snap-button security, this thing feels like the minimalist cousin of a tactical pouch.
Up front, you’ve got two slim gear slots—perfect for a pry bar or slim light. Inside, a card slot that actually holds four cards (yes, really), and a cash slot that’s not just for show. There’s even a rear slot for two more cards, because Arc knows we all say “I’m a minimalist” and then carry a Blockbuster membership card just in case.
What surprised me is how robust it feels. It's compact, but the Cordura doesn't flinch at pocket lint battles, key scratches, or the occasional coffee spill. It’s not trying to be a tech wallet or flex RFID-blocking wizardry. It’s just… solid. Practical. Quietly badass.
The Rambler XL: The Pocket Slip That Thinks It’s a Tool Roll
This is Arc’s flagship for folks who carry a little bit of everything and need it all to stay exactly where they put it. The Rambler XL is the grown-up version of their standard Rambler—think of it as your pocket’s way of leveling up.
I’ve been running mine with a Lynch pry bar, a pocket knife, and a set of Knipex Cobra pliers—a solid trio that covers everything from delicate slicing to stubborn bolt turning. Each slot is divided, so there’s no metal-on-metal clang-a-lang in your pocket, which is a nice touch if you value both gear and hearing.
Oh, and if you’re wondering about color options—Arc gets it. Sometimes you want basic black, and sometimes you want to spice things up with a little multicam or ranger green. Either way, you're covered.
Ripcord Case: For the One-Inch Club
I didn’t expect to love this one as much as I do. The Ripcord Case is a flashlight-first design with a “push-up” bottom so you can pop your torch out like a tactical Pez dispenser. I’ve been using it with the Vosteed Rook, and it’s snug in a good way—like a holster that respects your gear.
The other pocket is sized just right for a knife or multitool, making the Ripcord a solid pairing option if you like to run lean but still want quick access to your essentials. It’s not bulky, it stays put, and it looks clean. The layout is utilitarian with a side of style—think: “urban jungle-ready.”
Mini Grunt Case: Tiny Name, Big Utility
Small but mighty, the Mini Grunt is my kind of overachiever. It’s designed for a Swiss Army knife and a space pen, but the truth is it’s happy to hold whatever fits—key-size flashlights, baby multitools, even that one weirdly shaped pry bar I keep trying to justify carrying.
What I really appreciate is that despite its size, it feels like a real piece of gear—not an afterthought. It’s got that same Cordura toughness, tight stitching, and thoughtful form factor. It disappears in the pocket but is always ready to serve.
Final Thoughts: Craftsmanship, Character, and Cordura
Arc Company’s gear doesn’t feel mass-produced because it isn’t. Their small-batch approach shows in the details—tight seams, thoughtful layouts, and gear that feels built to last, not just built to ship.
If you’re tired of your EDC gear bouncing around loose in your pocket like a junk drawer with legs, Arc Company offers a way to keep things neat without sacrificing utility or personality. And let’s be real—Cordura in fun colors? That’s the grown-up version of having your name stitched into your backpack. It’s yours. It’s built to last. And it looks damn good doing it.
