ChumsUnisex Nylon Surfshort Wallet with Key Ring, American Flag, One-Size, Lightweight

A number of years ago I decided to ditch the "encyclopedia" that my wallet had morphed into; it was huge. I had given myself enough pinched nerves in my lower back to where I would have to take my wallet out of my back pocket before I sat down. And you can imagine how that went. So I decided to "downsize" and carry only what I needed and used. And this Chums "surfershorts" wallet has been my "chum" to carry for well over a decade ...whether I'm rockin' surfer shorts or my favorite pair of button fly skinny jeans.What attracted me to this version of Chums wallet is the plastic ID window; I didn't have to pull out my drivers license to confirm my age and identity ...just flash the wallet. And even when I do have to remove the license (there's coding on the back that many check out scanners read to get the true you), I know exactly where it is 'cause I can see it.This is the third Chums wallet I've purchased. The weak link in all of them has been the nylon zippers; there are two, one each for the two main compartments. After a time the zipper fails in some manner. I would say you can count on the wallet lasting a good 3-4 years before a zipper starts acting up (usually the one you use the most). The wallet is made of ripstop nylon material and wears like iron. On the front side you have the window pocket with a divider to keep other items behind the window side. Flip it over and there is a second undivided pocket. In addition, there is a slip in "pouch" on the back side; it has an internal key ring on a flat lanyard. I use the pouch for cards I access frequently and use the key ring to flip behind the one or two cards I keep in it to hold them securely. This wallet is light as a feather and so slim (providing you don't stuff it like a sausage) you don't even feel it in your back pocket ...even if you sit on it. No more pinched nerves in the lower back.If, like I was, you're packing the encyclopedia, you really have to downsize the junk you carry in your wallet for this Chums to work. I carry one credit card, sometimes two, and my ATM card in one pocket. In the window pocket goes ID stuff like the license and my old military ID. In the slip in pocket goes the only store credit card I carry; a My Lowes card. I have one or two other miscellaneous cards in the area behind the window pocket. While you might be able to carry cash in the key ring pouch, I have learned to use a money clip on the rare occasions I pay cash for something.I highly recommend this wallet if you're considering downsizing and reducing your Chiropractic bills. If you're already a minimalist wallet kind of person then give the Chums a try. They make a whole line of different styles of wallets like this; they are all minimalist, all the same size and all made of the ripstop nylon. Chums makes a great minimalist wallet.

Overall great wallet. I liked it so much I bought five of them in assorted colors as well as another one with the American flag. This has become my daily driver, as I've grown tired of my old biker wallet on a chain. I've always had my wallet in my back pocket and I felt it was time to switch to a front pocket setup. I have decided to embrace the minimalist approach, and couldn't be happier.As for this wallet- it's small and thin, yet holds everything I need: cash, 5 credit cards, and two I.D. The dual zipper design is ingenious. One on top and one on the bottom. It's the only one of its kind with that set up in such a small form factor. It enables more sections without making it bulky.The one con: it doesn't seem like it's super durable (I would pay more if it was built better), but for the price you can't complain.Since I use the key ring as a way to tether it to my belt (as shown in the pic), I added an eyelet to further support the strap portion that holds the ring.One thing I must mention: the American flag version is not made of the same ripstop material as the other ones, but more of a traditional canvas. I don't know if that will affect durability, but thought I should mention it.Also, this does not have RFID tech built into it. I personally did not concern myself with this, as I think it's not relevant in the US. I guess if I lived in Europe, I might consider getting something that has RFID built into it. Furthermore, you can buy RFID sleeves to use on individual credit cards for cheap, should you want that with this wallet.

Wanted to try a different type of minimalistic wallet and for under 9 bucks how could I go wrong. Got the American flag version. It arrived today. Has a good strong zipper and I have about 10 cards in it along with some cash. I was using a dango previously and it held cards decently enough money that was tucked under the band would sometimes work it's way out so I would run the Rick of losing cash if I didn't notice it when grabbing for cards. No need to worry any longer. The bills are zipped shut in the wallet. Not sure I will ever use the key fob in it but, it does not add any weight or bulk to the wallet. Overall very pleased.

This is the second Chums wallet I’ve had. I got the first one as a gift and it lasted 3 years. When it was time to replace it, I chose Chums again. The wallet is a very slim design and you can carry it comfortably. Highly recommend!

No need for a purse when I can carry my IDs, credit cards, other important cards, cash, and hard candies in my Chums pocket wallet, hooked on my belt loop with a few key rings and a carabiner. Keeps my hands free. I ordered 6 more after my first two finally gave up the ghost after several years; it was mostly due to overstuffing them, causing the zippers to no longer function. My bad! Best wallet ever!

Nice little Patriotic Travel Wallet, 2 zipper compartments and a clear ID pocket with Old Glory as a background image so if you do not put your ID in there people can see Our Beloved Flag and Old Glory is on the reverse side too plus it has a key pocket with a key ring but no Lanyard or place to attach one but for now I plan on using the key ring as temporary way to attach my Lanyard so I plan on modifying it by stitching a loop on one corner like Chums should have done. I doubt that it is Water Resistant though, very thin fabric kind of like Tyvek. For what you get it is a little over priced in my opinion but I'll keep it anyway, as far as Durability only time will tell.
