Essentials for Christmas.....

[Driven]

Ok, Christmas is coming fast and I'd like to get you all's input on what the essentials are that you take with you every day. I'm not talking about the stuff on your duty belt. I'm talking about gear bags, range bag, etc....
I'd like to get some of this stuff for Christmas so if you could post what you have and what has worked best, which ones to get and which ones to avoid.
Thanks!

I've bought a lot of crap. Most of it I use for a bit but them it retires to my locker. Get stuff like a good main flashlight, a good small flashlight for your belt, good boots, a nice knife, I have 2 extra pairs of cuffs and yes I have used all three at one time before.

Don't forget the pink fuzzy ones for those valentine's day arrests...:D

Living in the east if I were you I'd put my list out for some good Polypropylene long johns, If you have good cuffs, put down some leg cuff / irons, they come in handy for the one who tries to kick out your rear windows, maybe some flex cuffs too. Bullets, bullets and more bullets.

Oh did I mention bullets?

Binos are a good thing to have in your car.

Thanks for the info so far guys.... any more ideas?

Also, could you that have listed things give some specifics on which ones you have? Which have worked best/worst?

Thanks
