Material: Stainless Steel | Colors Available: Black, Brown | Extra features: Alarm, Bottle Opener Or a quick smoke because this thing even works as a one-hitter pipe. A bottle opener, dual screwdrivers, wrench, and box opener (on top of a dozen other uses) should have you covered for whatever needs a quick fix. This key-shaped multitool saves serious space and has an absurd amount of uses. Between our keys, oversized phones, and wallets (unless you have a slim card holder), we have precious little hand space left. The only problem is, now that we’re carrying mini-computers everywhere (i.e., smartphones), our pockets are more stuffed than ever. Dads, uncles, and grandpas love handing them out and man-splaining them, but that’s because they’re great to have in a pinch. At some point, most guys have been or will be gifted a swiss army knife or leatherman. The multitool has had a spot in the hearts of dads everywhere for a while now, and is great to organize your keys. Material: Stainless Steel | Colors Available: Black, Silver | Extra features: 16 Multitool Uses Best Bottle Opener Key Chain: Burberry Silver Plated Key Fob She’s Birdie also claims to donate 5% of their profits to women’s support groups, shelters, and other non-profits that help women in need. Getting folks’ attention is kind of the point. It just won’t sound like a fire truck like it does to everyone else. It won’t project toward you, but it’s still going to be as loud as hell. Remember, this thing packs a serious screech. It might not be the most classically “masculine” color, but what guy doesn’t love baby blue? Not many. You could even stick it in your pocket separately, it won’t take up much space. Now you can have a loud-ass alarm with you anywhere you take your keys. She’s Birdie (yes, that’s the brand name) managed to create just that in sleek key chain form. Who cares if it’s marketed for women? When you need to make some noise, you want the best key chain with an alarm on the market. On another note, this probably isn’t the best option for shortboarders, as it can create drag when kicking into waves.Material: Stainless Steel | Colors Available: Black, Blue, Orange, Indigo, + | Extra features: Alarm, Strobe Light I found myself wondering how many attempts to open the ziplocks with cold hands it would take to bust one and let water in on the next use, but I guess that’s why there are three ziplocks and not just one. The main problem I had with this item was the ziplock closure system, similar to the Aquapac. For added security to make extra sure it doesn’t slip over your ankle and into the ocean (it won’t) put it on your leash leg and it isn’t going anywhere. Wearing it under the suit can be a little uncomfortable, depending on the fit of the neoprene. A set of three ziplock seals protect your key while in the water, and the sleeve can fit over or under your wetsuit with an included velcro strap to cinch it down and keep it in place. The DRFT pouch takes a slightly different approach to storing your key with a neoprene sleeve that fits over your leg or bicep. DRFT Waterproof Walletĭurability: 4/5 Ease of use: 5/5 Comfort While Surfing: 4/5 Another good option that avoids the folding problem and keeps your front-zip uncluttered is to wear it around your neck with the pouch hanging down your back.ĭRFT Waterproof Leg Pouch 3. James, a rep from the company who responded to me on Instagram, assured me folding the pouch shouldn’t be an issue. That being said, so far so good and I’ve used it on some bigger days when I was well and truly thrashed without a drop of water getting inside. I couldn’t help but be a little paranoid that with hard use over time, (especially with me folding it in half to stuff in my wetsuit) some leakage might occur as the pouch itself is made of rather thin material. This was where my main concern with the product came up. I just folded it in half around the key fob so I could keep the hard plastic closure system horizontal. This also fit comfortably in the front zip of my wetsuit. The cheapest option on this list, the Keymaster boasts a foolproof and easy-to-operate closure system, a clear plastic pouch so you can see and operate the buttons on your car key, and it will float too. Another great option, the Aquapac Keymaster has been around for years and has been trusted by many.
