As part of my EDC I have a jacket appropriate for conditions.


So do I, but getting caught away from my gear for some(unlikely) but possible reason is why I have a mini-kit. If it is a hot day my jacket may find its way into my pack and if I become seperated from it I may really wish I had at least something to use if I cannot retrieve my gear befor the weather changes.

It happened to me once so It could happen again.
