#BEST CARBON FIBER WALLET 2020 UPGRADE#

It’s simply too small for most back pockets. And yes, you also guessed it – it’s not comfy back there. To be honest, I’ve always been a back-pocket guy, so switching to the front-pocket was the biggest adjustment for me when I started using Ridge Wallet back in November of 2022.Īnd yes, you guessed it, I certainly tried to put it in the back pocket at first. It lives up to the marketing story that Ridge puts out, a true 21st-century wallet. I went cash strap over clip, as I rarely carry cash, so figured the strap would be more versatile in the long run for things besides cash.

You also have the option to do a money clip, a cash strap, or both and swap them out. It’s super sharp and doesn’t really hold fingerprints like some matte paint jobs are notorious for. I went with the Titanium Wallet in a Matte Gunmetal color. It’s easy to combat its strength, and it quickly returns to its original shape. The stretchy elastic is what holds it all together, which is very responsive. It’s essentially two halves of machined metal – I believe this is what Ridge calls “dual-track design” – trimmed with a Titanium plate screwed onto each outside half.

Not heavy by any means, but sturdy and well-built. The Wallet itself feels super solid in the hand. When the elastic is more stretched, it’s a little harder to “fan” the cards out. Ridge claims the wallet can comfortably hold 12, but I feel like that slightly impacts the ease of use. It fills the wallet to the point where the elastic strap is stretched tight so the cards feel secure, but not pushing the wallet’s limits. I carry 7 cards regularly, and I feel like it’s the perfect number for Ridge Wallet: No pictures of my fiancée, family, or niece, no store loyalty cards (why carry them when you can type in the number?), oh and never any receipts. Any card that I didn’t need to carry, was immediately out of my wallet. As a dude who never overstuffed a wallet in the past, this line of copy is music to my ears. Right from the Wallet’s product page, I couldn’t have kicked off this section better. “It’s about carrying less but always having what you need.”

Holds 1-12 cards without stretching out.

Whether you’re a gear enthusiast like me or are just looking for a practical upgrade for your bloated old wallet, look no further than Ridge. Out with the jingle, in with the mingle (because you’ll be looking sharp without that wad of keys hanging off your jeans). The Ke圜ase came later, but the intentions were just as pure – build a better way to organize and carry keys. Slim, handsome, functional, and RFID-safe. Ridge’s design team knew they could build a better wallet that suits the modern plastic (and metal) card lifestyle we’ve all adapted to. I’m here to give you my in-depth thoughts on two essentials from Ridge: Ridge Wallet and Ridge Ke圜ase. With so many slim, front-pocket wallets and key solutions on the market, it’s tough to make a decision.

Founded in 2013, Ridge is a fast-growing company dedicated to simplifying your everyday carry.
