Man, modern wallets are a whole universe like Marvel's hahaha there are a thousand models to look for, I got a vionentus vn100 that hasn't failed me and has an airtag slot
The best clone of the ridge is the rossm they even do a lot of the same models but at least a third of the price but most at a quarter of the price of the ridge and the only difference is the lack of a lifetime warranty which does not mean much as the peice most likely to fail is not covered by the warranty and neither is the finish because it doesn't include wear and tear So the warranty is not worth the paper it's printed on unless you get one that was badly manufactured and fall apart within a few weeks which is highly unlikely
Went to their website and you can't even find a wallet on it. Lots of pictures of wallets, but none to buy. Selling accessories though. What kind of wallet company doesn't even have their wallets for sale on their website?
sorry to reply on an old comment, but I'm with this guy! This wallet looks awesome! card ejection, space to store cash, about the size of the ridge. Hopefully I can find this wallet someday!
I’ve always said you always get what you pay for. I’ll always stand by that. Yes you can buy multiple cheap knock off ones but I’d rather just bite the bullet and get a good one. Just my opinion I love The Ridge wallet and will always carry one.
I agree you get what you pay for. After owning the ridge wallet and using it for months, I personally still think it is extremely overpriced. The quality is decent but not worth anywhere near the asking price. I would not recommend it to people unless they feel like burning money.
@@EverythingPracticalor people should wait for sales on these, i also got titanium wallet from ridge and my initial feel was similar to yours, it arrived with screwdriver that was already weared out and airtag clip that i had to swap .... luckily i noticed the broken screwdriver just in time before i destroyed the screws 😀 yes the price when off sale is monstrous ... but its all about profit margins , if rossm or mountain voyage will sell these 10 dollar wallets for 50 bucks they still make good profit anyway , and i would rather prefer ridge when on sale than other similar wallets , im now considering aviator wallet though because of bigger and better accesible coin tray and ability to change capacity of cards , but all of these wallets suffers from one problem that i hate and its that bills are exposed so older bills might tear more quickly when they are double folded and are not covered inside wallet, especially when you carry the wallet inside the backpack and it moves in it with other stuff around
How does everyone feel about the money being on the outside of the wallet? I’m worried that may attract the wrong attention. I just ordered it for my husband.
To me itd be used as a minimalist wallet, i work mainly in a machine warehouse and i dont want my primary wallet to get damaged so i would use the ridge as a small wallet to keep what i really need, debit cards are on my phone and watch so i wont need them, just licenses/IDs and a reasonable amount of cash id need for the day
@AadidevSooknananNXS I haven't... but i actually now use a wallet by "Vaultskin". I did a review on it. My current favorite wallet! Amazing price too! Check it out!
Depends on you but I'm a simple guy. Library card. Driver's License. Debit card. All the other cards are used so sparingly I can leave them at home and maybe use them once in two years. Ridge wallet has definitely simplified things for me since I just put those 3 cards in and I'm good to go.
Great video, thanks for the tips! One weird thing I noticed when I got mine is that you can just completely flip around the metal halves lol. I bought a knock off one as some would say though, can you also do this with Ridge wallets?
@@EverythingPractical I was in a bar in Hackney London, not the nicest area, and I guy I didn’t know came up and said move that wallet or it will be stolen, never done it again, hope you get away with it 👍
Wallets been in my back pocket my entire life, never had it stolen. I grew up in NYC and was taught to have situational awareness aka if I don’t know you, you aren’t getting that close to me without being addressed.
Pretty good 20% off coupon code, not be doing research I think it's going to be a good fit, but I completely agree with you as far as the keychain goes, I wanted to get one but there's no way in hell I'm spending that much money, I wouldn't spend more than $20 on it.
Just buy it at aliexpress for 6bucks, ridge also gets them for an even cheaper price from china and make a ton of money selling it for 20times more as they paid for it. Its called marketing and all those youtube videos help them to get known
Im thinking about buying a RidgeWallet but im conserned about how easily it dents/scratches. Would you mind telling me about how easy it was to scratch/dent the wallet?
@@EverythingPractical Id really like to see how it looks after 6 months. It would be sad if the scratches and dents were so apparent that the overall look of the wallet was destroyed.
How has it held up? I’m thinking about getting the black leather because I don’t have to worry about chipping or it getting paint chips but they don’t have a matching leather key case so I’ve been thinking about this one but with the blue flake.
I have stopped using mine regularly and have since been using my wallet from Vaultskin. At a 5th of the price and it is much more comfortable to carry around. But, the ridge wallet held up well. I had quite a few dents around the edges even though I was careful with it.. again, if it were 50.- Id say go for it, but it's too overpriced for what it is, in my opinion.
Yes, I experience something quick similar. I have not yet needed to replace my cards yet though... but I also use a different wallet now. From Vaultskin. Check them out!
I had a Ridge wallet years ago when they were way cheaper than they are now. I will never buy one again. Scratched the living shit out of all my cards to the point of uselessness and the outer casing got scratched like crazy by being in the same pocket as my coins since there's an add-on purchase for a coin tray that can only fit around five coins. Absolutely trash product.
The biggest disadvantage I see in this kind of wallets is that they scratch and deteriorate your cards if you pull them out very often. My transport card got my face's picture blurred.
Interesting, I'll have to see how it goes for me. Should be fine though as long as the swiping still works. Also maybe I want my picture to be blurred xD
I have the exact same wallet but without the Ridge logo now for a couple months. It's really different from a 'classic' wallet but I like it a lot. I paid about 7 USD including shipping for it. China is your friend ;)
Imagine paying 150 for two metal plates that don't even have a pop-up button, and you have to read instructions on how to take out and fold your cards 😂😂
I ordered one but may return it as I keep my employee badge in my wallet and the card reader at the door of my building may not pick it up due to RFID blocker. I'll leave my badge on the money clip and see how that goes.
Is it just me or does this look absolutely unusable? Im 100% sure at some point when im in a rush getting my bus pass out im going to press something too hard and explode my wallet all around me. Its a disaster waiting to happen!
Don't buy this wallet. It does next to nothing an elastic band can't do. You have to fumble to get cards out and it doesn't hold notes securely. I'll be using my 10 year old leather wallet.

Who would want to buy this wallet for real? This is the company that had Trevor Jacob crash his plane after he jumped out of it! This is an irresponsible company! I sure hope people have a brain and think about the damage that could have been caused if someone were hiking in the area or to any wildlife in the area when the plane went down in the stunt promoted by this company! Shame on you guys for doing such an irresponsible Act! I'd go out of my way to buy from anyone else but you guys. When you put people's lives on the line and the welfare of all wildlife that live in the area where the plane crashed, it's totally irresponsible! Would never buy your wallet. Ever!!
Im not sure what I said but certainly not more than $10... if you're only looking at this main material cost, a kilogram of Titanium is under $10 and carbon fiber under $20. The tiny tiny pice that is applied to this wallet is very likely worth no more than 25 cents, considering a "small" production run.
Nice video bro! gave me an idea on what wallet to buy since I need to upgrade my old school one!
Man, modern wallets are a whole universe like Marvel's hahaha there are a thousand models to look for, I got a vionentus vn100 that hasn't failed me and has an airtag slot
broo I love the MCU especially the aesthetics of the Iron Man armor!
dudeee same, the iron man armor looks great even today. what I'm telling you is like that elegant and modern
Niceeee, then it must be worth it like the classic marvel movies!
"As it's carbon fibre it's going to be very sturdy" is a statement that aged well :)
Thanks for the tips on removing the cards, i just got one of these and it broke my brain
What is your other rfid wallet called where can i buy it?
Cash strap is more secure to hold your cash as it has teeth on the other side to hold on to the cash!
The best clone of the ridge is the rossm they even do a lot of the same models but at least a third of the price but most at a quarter of the price of the ridge and the only difference is the lack of a lifetime warranty which does not mean much as the peice most likely to fail is not covered by the warranty and neither is the finish because it doesn't include wear and tear

Back in high school I would use the orbit & Trident gum package 😂
Lol you too!! Nice!!
So what was the wallet you compared it to at 3:02 timestamp - that one looked good to me !
😄 a generic RFID wallet. I have it as a gift from a sales company so I dont know the exact brand.
@@EverythingPractical Ahh okay got it 🙂
sorry to reply on an old comment, but I'm with this guy! This wallet looks awesome! card ejection, space to store cash, about the size of the ridge. Hopefully I can find this wallet someday!
Im not sure if it is the exact brand, but very similar is: Secrid. Well priced and ticks the minimalist box.
They have the key chain with a bottle opener for $19. I am thinking about the set plus the extra key chain. Good video. Thanks
What is the wallet called that you compared to it at 3:10
It's a generic tri fold slide wallet. Unfortunately I do not know the brand.
I live in switzerland too so thats nice to know how the bills fit in☝🏻👍🏻
😃
You have to fold it twice, otherwise it hangs off of the side

yes the price when off sale is monstrous ... but its all about profit margins , if rossm or mountain voyage will sell these 10 dollar wallets for 50 bucks they still make good profit anyway , and i would rather prefer ridge when on sale than other similar wallets , im now considering aviator wallet though because of bigger and better accesible coin tray and ability to change capacity of cards , but all of these wallets suffers from one problem that i hate and its that bills are exposed so older bills might tear more quickly when they are double folded and are not covered inside wallet, especially when you carry the wallet inside the backpack and it moves in it with other stuff around

Yeah. I dont like that and the cards are still open to the world. I would like a zip all the way around.

A good video. It made me decide that ultimately it's not for me. I think I like classic wallets too much.
I got that same key fob and the matt black card wallet plus free coin tray (need this) for £89 boxing day sale ;)
fantastic review. i liked that you explained all the aspects of it. this was harder to gauge by simply going to their website.
who made the smaller leather wallet?
Hey, is the inside padded? I'm worried about this wallet damaging my cards
Outside cards will be scratched
@@EverythingPractical Oh boy, have you tried the leather versions, and does that resolve the issue?

I've had my ridge wallet for 10 years now and it still looks great. For the Keychain i would recommend the keysmart, same concept but better design
Great video, thanks for the tips! One weird thing I noticed when I got mine is that you can just completely flip around the metal halves lol. I bought a knock off one as some would say though, can you also do this with Ridge wallets?
I don't know about all of the wallets, but mine is 1 sided. There is no finishing on the other side.
Did it take long?
Wait people still keep wallets in back pockets?? Pick pockets love you guys.
If often button my pocket when I keep it in the back.
Haven't seen them in Switzerkand, can't relate :-P
I got a kit from 445 to 165 so decided to pull the trigger and got the daily driver kit
Anyone keeping any wallet in their back pocket is nuts and asking to have it stolen
Eh I still use an old style wallet I’m a caveman
Mehhhh, wear it where it's comfortable. Still haven't had a wallet stolen, and I pretty much always carry it in my back pocket. Knock on wood...

Thank you. Very helpful review.
I think the price is absolutely ridiculous. But it's a good idea. I'm actually thinking about buying one, though.
Snapped my carbon fiber keycase in couple of months.. not really good quality for $95 keycase .. my orbitkey keycase last longer
Did you have it repaired under the "Lifetime guarantee" ?
They didn't honor it somehow
Sorry to hear... but doesn't surprise me....
Doesn't look convenient to get your cards out. How heavy is the wallet?
Yeah, you get used to it. But there are easier systems.
It is around 60 g/ 2 oz.
I have a friend who had a ridge wallet and he said it scratched his cards so bad that he had to get new ones. Has this happened to you?
Yes, I experience something quick similar. I have not yet needed to replace my cards yet though... but I also use a different wallet now. From Vaultskin. Check them out!

can you do an update a year later?
Sure can!
I don't like how this wallet doesn't have a place to hold money inside the wallet. Cash can slide off, and is easier to steal or simply lose.

I paid about 7 USD including shipping for it. China is your friend ;)
Moving your wallet to a front pocket is more secure as well.
I just bought one. The only thing that sold me was the lifetime warranty. Since I’m incredibly hard on stuff 😂
But it's a limited lifetime warranty. It doesn't cover hard use - as I understand
Imagine paying 150 for two metal plates that don't even have a pop-up button, and you have to read instructions on how to take out and fold your cards 😂😂
And here we are
😂When I bought mine today it was funny to discover that it's just two metal plates, I don't regret not buying the name brand xD
I ordered one but may return it as I keep my employee badge in my wallet and the card reader at the door of my building may not pick it up due to RFID blocker. I'll leave my badge on the money clip and see how that goes.
I leave my id on the back of my phone case. I use an otter box on my iPhone 12 and it’s perfectly convenient for me.
I keep my work access card under the cash strap so the rfid doesn't get blocked.
I bought a leather card wallet just as thin and easier to access your cards
A professional pickpocket will NEVER go for anything in your front pockets if your wearing jeans. Just a heads up!
I would not trust a company that spells aluminium wrong in their coin addon...
The ridge rings on the website is ridiculous, 200 bucks for rings
New options coming soon!!
My rings is almost 2 grand lol. I'd rather spend more for a ring than 200 bucks for a wallet
Is it just me or does this look absolutely unusable? Im 100% sure at some point when im in a rush getting my bus pass out im going to press something too hard and explode my wallet all around me. Its a disaster waiting to happen!
I suppose if your strap wears out that could happen but just get a new strap. They’re replaceable
Once you get used to it it's easy. Have had one since 2015.
Don't buy this wallet. It does next to nothing an elastic band can't do. You have to fumble to get cards out and it doesn't hold notes securely. I'll be using my 10 year old leather wallet.
Look very hard to get the card you want
Rossm wallet same shit 30 EU
How many video cuts did he make in this damn video it’s like very 5 seconds
Mmm I don't know brooo to expensive for the poor functionality to be honest
Agree!
I just like to flex just because its the 24 carats one 😂😂😂
Fair play 😎
Thanks for saving from purchasing! The price just isn't justified.
Happy to help!
Check out my new video for a budget friendly alternative, from Vaultskin 😊
over a year later and still the same price
They won't get cheaper unless there is a sale. So, don't wait for the price to drop, that will only happen briefly a couple of times a year...
Enjoy!
I'm just gonna stick with my Dickies wallet.

You can get a copycat for less than $15.
Bet it’s not the same quality
…but it is the same quality 👀
@@BlackandBeats Nope.
No life time warranty
*limited* lifetime warranty, which in the end doesn't really cover much...
Fold the bills in thirds…
Great gimmick, but doesn’t look like a good practical option.
id, driver, credit (maybe two), healthcare insurance.
4 or max 5 cards.
why the people in the us have so many cards?
build card houses ?😂
You could always just crash a plane and get it for free.
🧐
Not the ultimate review if you cannot be bothered to change out the money clip for all to see.
