    My original leather wallet was just way too bulky, so I decided to try the Ridge Wallet. But it was kind of small.
    So I bought a second Ridge Wallet and welded it to the first, back to back. That was better, but I still needed more room.
    So I bought two more Ridge Wallets and welded them together and put them in my other rear pocket.
    The total volume of the four Ridge Wallets is actually greater than my original leather wallet, but I feel better about it somehow, like I'm moving forward into the future while the rest of you losers out there are stuck in the past.
    And it only cost me about $400 total, so I'm not carrying all that loose currency anymore.

    I have used the carbon fibre one for over a year and it is the best wallet I have ever owned. It does have a small area of scratch that I think was caused by putting a key ring in the same pocket. The money clip is solid and tight, and will hold a single note or multiple without problem.

    5:30 deal-breaker, obviously. My leather wallet has eight slots for my 8 cards and it is super easy to locate and remove the one card I need (without having the other 7 all spill to the ground, with a dozen people in line behind me at the counter). My other 8 cards are on my phone. One day, all 16 of my cards (D/L, etc.) will all be on my phone (like everything else is), and I'll drop my wallet (of any kind) at that time. Folding leather wallet remains the choice until then.

    4:53 The reason you might want to go with the elastic strap version (holding money) is because you wont experience discomfort caused by that metal ridge.
    If you face that metalic money clip towards your legs - you might feel discomfort in your thighs or butt. If you face that metallic clip out (away from your skin) you jeans will eventually have a worn spot. Hope it makes sense! Go with the elastic version.

      I got the metallic clip and never had a problem with it facing towards my legs --- I slide it to the side of my pocket BUT from experience with leather wallets, I am sure it would wear badly against pants if facing outwards. Probably will do the same inwards as well --- just won't be able to see the damage as easily.

    @kylestewart4444 4 ปีที่แล้ว +25

    I have been looking at wallets like these for quite a while but I never pulled the trigger. I came across a discount a couple of weeks ago and decided to order the carbon fiber version with the strap.
    As far as the way it looks, I think it looks excellent for what it is. Of course a high quality leather wallet looks great too but for what this is, I’d say it’s the best looking wallet of its kind; at least from what I’ve seen. As far as build quality goes, I see no problems there either. The materials look and feel great and the overall fit and finish is outstanding.
    My one complaint with this wallet (keep in mind, I’m also very new to this style of wallet) is the same complaint mentioned in the video. The actual functionality/operation is a bit clunky - at least in the beginning. After messing around with it for a little while at my desk, putting cards in, pulling some out, switching them around, etc, I did gradually get a better feel for it and I can definitely access my cards much more smoothly now than I could when I first got it. I’m assuming it’ll only get easier so perhaps this is an issue that’ll resolve itself with time. I don’t really think it’s the designer’s fault. The idea is very simple and it was executed very well. Perhaps some people would prefer a spring loaded button mechanism or some kind of hinge but then it would just be a different kind of wallet entirely - also, it definitely wouldn’t be as small or as thin as this design. I can’t really see how they could have executed this design in a better way. It seems well thought out.
    Also, it’s not as though I get to a check-out counter and have to fumble around with it and try to pry my cards out. It really is a lot simpler with a little bit of practice. Also, it just serves as a good reason to carry fewer cards on your person. The more cards you carry, the harder it’ll be to access them. My old wallet (a fairly basic card holder, held about 8 cards and had a slot for cash, not a bifold or trifold) has now been relegated to the job of holding all of the cards that are seldom used, if at all. Basically just rarely used credit cards and gift cards. That wallet now stays either at home or in the car. All I carry in the Ridge wallet are my debit card, one personal credit card, my company credit card and my drivers license. I think 3 or 4 cards is the ideal situation for a wallet like this.
    It’s a little pricey (I’m a sucker for well-executed carbon fiber) but if you think this type of solution might work well for you, I’d highly recommend it. I’m not sure that I’d buy it again if I were someone who had to keep 7 or 8 cards on me at all times but if you only need to carry 3-5 cards, I would strongly suggest giving one of these a try.

      I'm looking at this wallet, and I too am a sucker for Carbon Fiber, and for me, the key cards I'd have are:
      1) Driver's License
      2) Debit Card
      3) Main Credit Card
      4) Backup Credit Card
      5) Health Insurance Card
      But rarely would I ever have to break any of these out unless:
      a) driver's license (don't drive so no need to worry about being pulled over by cops)
      b) I'm going to the ATM to get cash (always good to have some cash) thus needing the debit card
      c) the merchant does not accept any mobile phone payments, only uses the credit card itself. I've run into a few merchants where they have outdated machines
      d) you're going to the E/R, else your primary doctors will already have your insurance on file
      The other potential cards I would have to carry are your employer's badge ID and access cards. Some use the badge ID as access, others have a separate one for the building, the other for the floor. So that now brings me to 7. Those I would need to breakout every day.
      So I am tempted to buy it but we'll see. Just thought I'd add to your great post Kyle.

    I've had mine nine months or so now. It's been a fantastic purchase, looks as good as new. I do imagine that the elastic will need to be replaced in the next 1-2 years, but that is a low cost easy thing to do.
    I picked the carbon fiber clip version, works great. There is an adjustment period if you're used to a large old dad wallet, but once you do get used to it, it would be very hard to go back.
    The RFID security thing is pointless. There's been no fraud of this kind in the US, you'd need a very modern contactless credit or debit card, which is less that 5% of cards in the US. And no, there are not gangs of thieves wandering around trying to sniff out the tiny number of Americans with that kind of card in their wallet. As they could easily just go on the dark web and buy pre-stolen cards and use those instead.
    I looked at a bunch of options before I chose this one, and I really feel like this is the original and standard for this segment. Most other options seem to be cheap copies in my opinion.

    A great solution for people who rarely use cash and only carry a limited number of cards (say 4). I find myself using this Ridge whenever I need a compact solution (loading up whichever cards I know I'll need). Too many cards and it can be a fiddle to locate the one you need. It is back to the traditional bill fold at other times, especially if I am using cash as I am not comfortable keeping cash on the outside of the Ridge with the clip. The cash is too visible when you pull the Ridge out and screams 'rob me'.

I have the cash strap and on the underside of the strap it has a gripping material to hold onto the cash as well the elastic strength. No screws have come lose at all either.
