  • Both wallets, the Maxpedition Spartan and the CMC ("Change and Memory Cards"), are similar in shape and size but the internal organization of pockets is quite different. Plus the CMC comes with an external zipper coin pocket.

    You do fantastic reviews, Maxpedition should be paying you (if they aren't) Your English is great, and the way you touch on all aspects is very nice. Even adding your own preferences is helpful. Keep up the good work.

      +Engine Rebuilders Supply Co. Well, the video is 4.5 years old. I don't do Maxpedition reviews anymore.

    Stefan, I loved this comparison video! It's great to have you back. I've been eyeballing these two wallets for a while and have been having a hard time deciding whether I should purchase one. Your review really helps explain all of the important features that each wallet has. Please do not go on TH-cam vacation again. Your videos, insight and thoroughly researched videos are TOO integral to the TH-cam community.

    Now I know which one to get.

    Outstanding review!
    I started off wanting the CMC wallet. But after watching this and seeing them side by side I'm going to get the Spartan.
    Thanks for your time putting this together.

    What a good review. Thank you. I like the newer one because the cards sleeve is vertical to the width instead of horizontal negating the straps to hold the cards in. The memory card slots should be be enough for an air tag or instead with a mesh sleeve to have ID card.

    Couldn't resist. I ordered the cmc on Amazon. the change pocket with the zipper on the outside is what sold me on it. That is such a cool idea

    Stefan, I never liked these wallets because of the velcro, and I would feel like I carry a child's wallet when I hear the velcro every time I open it. However, this video really sold me on the wallet, and I plan to buy one soon. I always enjoy your well put together reviews, and I'm glad to see you back!

    Excellent review thank you. I was looking at both wallets and while we do have 1 and 2 dollar coins here in Canada, I tend to keep my change in my pocket so the coin purse is not a necessity for me. Thanks to this video I have decided to go with the Spartan, very informative, again, thanks for taking the time.

    Thank you for an excellent review. This helped me decide that despite the obscene price tag, the layout and the additional features of the 'Emdom USA Master Wallet' is a good choice for me. I am not mentioning that wallet because I work for anyone, just figured I'd share that as an option for anyone reading. Again, thank you for an excellent review.

    The cmc ticked all my boxes that I wish to see in a wallet, the big one being coin pocket, as I live in sweden I get quite a lot of coin, even though I try to use my cards as much as possible. Great review btw, and I liked the comparison as I've been looking at the Spartan briefly. I subscribed too, you seem to have a lot of good vids to catch up on.

    Stefan -- as always, smashing job on this video. You are a true asset to this community and to consumers in general. I wish that had the type of "flow" and command of dialogue the way you do in your videos but sadly I'll always have at least a couple of "ums" and "uhhs" :) Nice to see you back as you were certainly missed, brother.

    Very nice review. I have seen a couple of your maxpedition reviews now and I like how you do them. I love Maxpedition. However the velcro is worn out pretty much on my Urban wallet. So I am looking for a new wallet that I can keep my few amount of cards, paper AND coin money in. This CMC appears to be the perfect wallet for my needs, while still being a Maxpedition product.
    Currently I have their urban wallet, their keyper, their mini pocket organizer, their 5 inch flashlight sheath, their vertical smartphone sheath all with me as part of my EDC. I just love Maxpedition! Although after a few years I am a bit disappointed about the velcro situation on my urban wallet.

    @TheRifleman336 That's really funny because it sounds so "Germish" to my ears. - Here's another example: If someone messed up something you can say "Da haben wir den Salat!". That would be similar to the English interjection "What did I tell you!". But if you translate the German phrase word by word it is "There we have the salad!"

    Dude! Great to see you back! The Max Spartan sucked because US currency is larger than Eu... and it was hard to slide it in and out of the Spartan (length of pocket almost identical to length of bill). Max cheats in that if you stuffed your CMC, you wouldn't have room for the mem cards anyway (too much bulging with the coin pockets front and back).
    Great review as always, nice old school one. :o)

    Thanks for the review. It seems I'll have to get a CMC wallet at some stage. Here in the UK we have the same situation as the Eurozone in that the lowest denomination banknote is GBP5, meaning that I often have any amount between 0 to GBP10 in coins, including some large coins such as the GBP2 coin. I use the mesh pocket of my Maxpedition EDC Pocket Organiser to hold spare change at the moment, but it's not ideal.

    By the way, coin pockets are critical in US also... because between merchant prices ($7.99, $4.49, etc.) and local taxes, you always have merchandise have odd amounts. You often end up with a pocket full of pennies (1 cent)!
