Thanks for your opinions everyone. I think I'll be getting a THE Pack for EDC and either surplus or WM for the cars.

BTW, Thanks for the Midwest Tactical tip Nicodemus!

Another idea (thinking about reflective tape) is to include some pants ties used for biking. They are nylon loops with a buckle that are used to cinch pants legs tight so they don't get caught in the chain while riding. The ones that I have include a reflective strip in them. Might not be a bad idea around wrists and ankles if you need to be seen at night while working on the car at the roadside, or especially if you need to hoof it for a while. I'm adding some to my car kit <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
