I've not tried one myself, but I believe LTT has a promotional code with Ridge Wallet (same concept). Don't remember it off the top of my head, though.

I've been using one for a bit and it works better for me then a 'normal' wallet. But that is mainly because I only carry around a couple cards and just a bit of cash (not coins though, if I need coins I'll take those with me in another fasion).

Normally carrying around my wallet was a drag (used to have a 'normal' one, having that in my backpocket was rather inconvenient). Now I actually bother taking my wallet everywhere, lol.

 

Didn't pay much for mine and you mainly can feel that in how difficult it is to take out/insert back the cards in the wallet.

Ridge. Holy shit just buy one. I had an old, expensive, leather wallet gifted to me when I was 5. Still a nice wallet but it's very stretched out, thus I need to keep it pretty full. But with the Ridge wallet I only have my essential cards like ID's, insurance, and credit. I may stick a receipt and change in my pocket after a purchase, but the receipt gets shredded and change in a jar soon as I get home.

 

With the Ridge you can replace the elastic bands if need be (7 bucks shipped from their site, all wallets come with a screw driver). I would honestly bit the bullet and do it. It's a tad expensive but you'll never look back or have buyers remorse. I've had mine over a year now and wish I'd gotten it sooner.

 

(I realize I sound like a bot, but trust me I'm just excited about this thing. It's changed my EDC for good. I can carry my backup mag now).

Ridge Wallet (Many Different Kinds):

Spoiler

The Ridge Wallet on Twitter: "The Ridge is guaranteed for life and ...

  • Great durability. Sturdy and robust even after years of use.
  • RFID-blocking wallet.
  • Lifetime warranty.
  • Elastic strap versions can build up fluff over time or be difficult to load/unload cash.
  • A bit on the expensive side of things?

 

Alternative 1: Duxtio Aluminium

Spoiler

No photo description available.

  • Clean, brushed aluminum material.
  • RFID-blocking wallet.
  • Protects cards from bending.
  • Holds up to 12 cards, but you sacrifice its minimalist design in the process.
  • Less expensive compared to Ridge Wallet.

 

Alternative 2: Rugged Material Ranger Minimalist Wallet

Spoiler

  • Teflon powder-coated steel.
  • Steel plates double as tools (wrenches, bottle openers).

  • Made in Utah, if that matters.

 

There are more out there, these are just the ones that caught my eye. 👀
