Question 1

What’s in Nicolay’s Everyday Carry for Summer 2024?

Accepted Answer

My Summer 2024 EDC is built around staying compact and lightweight, so I use the Bellroy Sling Premium Edition. Inside I carry my iPhone 15 Pro with a MOFT case, the MOFT Snap Battery Pack, AirPods Pro (1st gen), my Apple Watch Series 6, plus Bellroy’s Key Holder and Apex Note Sleeve wallet. I also bring my LARQ bottle and finish it off with Byredo Blanche as my summer scent.

Question 2

Why did you choose the Bellroy Sling Premium Edition for summer?

Accepted Answer

I wanted something more compact and lightweight than the backpack I used in my previous everyday carry video. The Bellroy sling is minimalist but still spacious enough for daily essentials, and the storage layout is genuinely smart. The Premium Edition adds nicer materials like leather on the front, which makes it feel like a perfect blend of style and practicality.

Question 3

Which iPhone case are you using with the iPhone 15 Pro?

Accepted Answer

For summer I’m using the light gray MOFT case on my iPhone 15 Pro in natural titanium. I like how the gray matches the camera module, so the whole phone looks cohesive. It’s made from stain-resistant, scratch-resistant vegan leather, so it stays looking clean even with daily use.

Question 4

Is the MOFT Snap Battery Pack worth carrying every day?

Accepted Answer

Yes—mainly because it’s impressively lightweight, which matters a lot when you’re carrying it all day. It reliably keeps my iPhone charged without feeling like one of those bulky power banks. Design matters to me too, and the vegan leather wrap, rounded corners, and metal button make it feel minimal and well made.

Question 5

How does the LARQ bottle work and why do you carry it?

Accepted Answer

Hydration is crucial in summer, so the LARQ bottle is a constant for me. It uses UV light to break up the DNA of harmful, odor-causing bacteria, and with a button press it starts cleaning—after about 60 seconds you’ve got purified water. It also keeps the bottle from getting that nasty smell, and the all-black design looks super clean.

Question 6

Why are you still using the Apple Watch Series 6?

Accepted Answer

I didn’t upgrade to Series 7, 8, or 9 because the changes just didn’t feel worth it to me. My stainless steel graphite Series 6 still looks sleek and has been incredibly resistant to scratches—mine still looks basically like new. If Apple does something genuinely interesting with the next generation, I might finally justify an upgrade.

Question 7

Are Common Projects sneakers worth the price?

Accepted Answer

They’re my favorite leather sneakers right now because the silhouette is, in my opinion, the most beautiful among similar minimalist sneakers. The Achilles Low in white is perfect for summer and has that smart-casual look without visible logos—just the gold stamp on the heel. The one thing I’m not a big fan of is the price, because they definitely come with a significant premium.
