Review on 🩳 Chums Surfshort American Men's Accessories - Unisex, One Size by Chris Scalia

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Nice concept but needs an extra 1/2 inch to be more comfortable for everyday, frequent use.

I really liked this wallet as I think the design concept is very functional. An external lanyard lets you attach house keys or a bunch of keys, while two-way zips keep things organized and secure. My dissatisfaction with the wallet is the same as the most critical wallet review posted here before - and that is the size. The wallet literally needs an additional 1/2 inch or 13mm in length to accommodate items comfortably. Just like now, you have to stuff the cards into the side of the window to make it fit, while the other side can barely hold the folded money for a few bills (maximum about 5 before it hits the rim). When you take things out of your wallet, you squeeze them tightly, so you may end up accidentally tearing the folded money or pulling the edge of the card, causing it to wear out. All of that could go away if the wallet was a bit longer so the zippers wouldn't be put under as much stress. Remember I came to this conclusion with only 4 cards inside (2 credit cards, 2 ID cards) and 5 folded bills. After all, it's rightly advertised as a "minimalist" wallet; but more for casual use than practical everyday use.

Pros
  • Durable ripstop nylon
Cons
  • Some bugs
