Review on πŸ„ Chums Surfshorts Wallet - Sleek and Water-Resistant Minimalist Wallet with ID Window and Key Ring - Lightweight Zipper Pouch by Anthony Lopez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Awesome "minimalist " wallet, ingeniously simple design (which gets even better if you make it yourself).

Overall a great wallet. I liked them so much that I bought five of them in different colors and one with the American flag. This has become my daily rider since I got tired of my old biker purse on a chain. I always kept my wallet in my back pocket and I felt like it was time to switch to the front pocket. I went for a minimalist approach and I am very satisfied. As for this wallet, it's small and flimsy, but it has everything I need: cash, 5 credit cards and two ID's. Ingenious double zip design. One above and one below. This is the only device of its kind made in such a small form factor. It allows you to use more sections without making it bulky. One minus: It doesn't feel super durable (I'd pay more if it was made better), but for the price, can't complain. Since I use a key ring to tie to my belt (as shown), I added a grommet to give extra support to the part of the belt that holds the ring. One thing I should mention: the American flag version is not made from the same ripstop material. like the others but more traditional canvas. Don't know if this affects durability but thought I should mention it. Also, there is no built-in RFID technology. I personally haven't given it much thought as I don't think it's relevant in the US. I think if I lived in Europe I might consider buying something with built in RFID. Also, this wallet allows you to buy cheap RFID sleeves to use on individual credit cards if you want.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Crumpled
