Ridge Wallet for Men - Slim Minimalist Compact Wallet and Card Holder, RFID Protected Front Pocket Wallets for Men with Integrated Cash Strap (Forged Ember)

I’ve had The Ridge wallet with money strap (Aluminum Navy) for less than a week and it is great! I love the look and feel. It is built solid. It’s so much smaller than my traditional leather wallet and now I only carry what I really need. No more wallet full of receipts or old unused credit cards or club cards. And no more bulky wallet in back pocket to mess up my hip, though I’m still getting used to not “feeling” a wallet back there. The Ridge wallet goes in my front pocket and I barely notice it’s there. I have 7 cards in it and fetching the right one takes a bit of getting used to. I found a video online where someone slides the cards out a bit then squeezes the other sides of the wallet to make it spread open so you can see all the card and pick the needed one. For the money holder I chose the strap because it seems to keep a slimmer profile than the money clip, but I think both are good. This slim line makes it a bit challenging to put money neatly under it because there really isn’t anything to grab to lift the money strap. I slid the strap to an edge and get under it to lift it that way. It works well for me. BTW You could install both the clip and strap on at the same time if you wanted to utilize both options.A concern I have is that when removing / replacing cards, they slide across the main elastic straps that hold the two halves of the wallet together and thus hold your cards in the wallet. Not sure how durable those straps are but I’d hate to for them to snap at an inopportune time. Not sure if those are covered under the warranty.A possible design change I thought of is to be able to “lock” the corner of the cards in place rather than having the elastic straps, and then just flip a card out like a jack knife blade to insert or swipe at the cash register reader. That is almost the functionality now when getting a card out for use except currently the card is free to come completely out of wallet.Anyway. Great product. Highly recommend it. I may even buy more to give as gifts.

I purchased this to replace a regular leather fold wallet that I've had for over 15 years. Over the years I have transitioned away from having items not related to money or ID in my wallet. I rarely carry more than $40 on me anymore. So, my wife suggested several options to reduce my wallet pocketprint. This was one of the items she suggested. Read several reviews on amazon, etc, and watched a few. Decided to invest the $75.This wallet functions as advertised. It offers a great space to house credit cards and ID. I carry 8 cards in this wallet, including credit cards, ID, grocery cards, insurance cards, and my $20-$40. They all fit securely, including the money, and I have no concerns about anything accidentally falling or slipping out of the wallet.The RFID blocking does work. So, since I carry a card needed to access my work space I do need to expose the cards a bit to open the door. So no more just waving past the sense to get in. A very minor consideration but worth noting.I do highly recommend you use the fanning technique to access middle cards. Many of the reviews here and elsewhere will say that accessing cards in the middle is difficult. I affirm, yes it can be but it doesn't have to be. If you don't push the cards up so that the bottom of the the entire set of cards are flush with the the elastic strap before pressing the button of the wallet to fan the cards, you will find accessing those middle cards takes more effort.I suggest you practice how you might access cards in the front, middle, and back well before you start using the wallet out and about. This isn't a negative as it still takes less time to access card than it did when I had a traditional leather fold wallet. With that wallet I still had to open the fold, pull or finger through the cards and the pull the card out. With this wallet, I push, pull a bit, fan and pick the card.The design is sleek and looks super clean.If you're a person that has some of your credit cards saved to your phone and need a few additional cards and cast, this is a great wallet accessory.Durability, not sure what will happen there, but the only part of the wallet that feels cheap or lesser quality in "my hand" are the straps.So far after a week I am satisfied with my purchase. Also, some have mentioned the steep price. I have only purchased wallets once every 15 years, maybe. Seems reasonable "to me" to put some money into the item holding my money. I mean hell, I don't keep my valuables in paper bags, which "I'd argue" can be just as effective if not practical, I just prefer not to buy a paper bag when I could spend a a few more dollars for a cloth one that will hopefully last much longer.

In my pursuit to find the best slim wallet, I explored several options available on Amazon, eventually comparing three specific models: The Ridge Wallet, the Havenhurst Slim Wallet, and the Extremus Tactical Wallet.The first thing I noticed was the weight or rather how light the Ridge Wallet is compared to the other two.Starting with the budget-friendly choices, the Havenhurst Slim Wallet is priced at approximately $24.99. It boasts a carbon fiber construction, making it a durable and efficient choice for those seeking simplicity and functionality. Following closely, the Extremus Tactical Wallet, at around $29.99, offers a robust build quality with a slightly different aesthetic appeal, yet remains a strong contender for those prioritizing practicality.However, the question arises: does The Ridge Wallet justify its $149 price tag compared to its more economical counterparts? My personal and other reviewers’ experiences suggest it does. The Ridge Wallet as stated stands out in part due to its lightweight design, even when loaded with 12 cards, it feels lighter than both the Havenhurst and Extremus wallets, the latter even when empty. This was noticeable despite not having precise weight measurements.The decision to invest in The Ridge Wallet’s Forged Ember model stemmed from a desire for not just functionality but exceptional design and quality. The Ridge Wallet’s craftsmanship and the materials used in its construction are noticeably superior, contributing to its sturdy feel and refined finish. This quality extends to its presentation and packaging, which eclipse those of its competitors, offering a more premium unboxing experience.While the Havenhurst and Extremus wallets deliver on functionality and durability at a more accessible price point, The Ridge Wallet distinguishes itself through its meticulous design, superior material quality, and enhanced user experience. It caters to those who value both form and function in a wallet, possibly seeking to make a style statement as well.In conclusion, if your focus is purely on practicality and cost-effectiveness, both the Havenhurst and Extremus wallets are commendable options. However, for those drawn towards a blend of high-end craftsmanship, design, and a dash of exclusivity, The Ridge Wallet proves to be a worthwhile investment despite its higher price point.

The design is very compact compared to other hard wallets I have used. I like the ability to expand to fit more cards although that can allow one to get lazy and put too much into the wallet. Not a design flaw just a human observation. I like the added silicone to the elastic bands however I worry about the durability of the elastic bands. They appear to be of high quality but basic elastic gets loose pretty quickly. I would hope the materials are better than everyday things you see with elastic bands. The money band is a nice addition over the clip I think. It allows for separation of different type of cards etc as well as money. Overall a nice product. Hopefully I can say the same in 6 months. I also hope that replacement bands are available.

I got this wallet for my finance and he loves it! The quality is amazing and the design is amazing!

These are fantastic the men can easily carry these in their front pockets because of the slim profile of the wallet. My handsome Honey loves his wallets ( I bought him 2 ) and my son also loves his Ridge Wallet I purchased these for Christmas Gifts 2025.

I like this wallet, its design is clean and compact. and looks nice and sturdy.Forced me to cut down on what I carry in my wallet, but that's a good thing as I was carrying more than I need. The rest went in a drawer in case of need. Still, was able to fit an ID, 2 credit cards, debit card, costco card and a keycard. Put the most used items on the outsides for easy access.I got the model with the cash strap, and can fold up 6-10 bills of various denominations for cases when I need to pay cash. Nothing falls out and the bills don't get excessively worn.One issue is I had to move the wallet to my front pocket, as in the back pocket it quickly wore a hole in the pocket (and is rather obviously visible there).Overall it's a good wallet, keeps everything secure and everything still easy to access.

Most good looking and comfortable to use wallet out there

Lassé des gros portefeuilles en cuir qui déforment les poches, j'ai sauté le pas avec ce modèle The Ridge en Forged Carbon. Le look du carbone forgé est absolument magnifique, unique sur chaque modèle et très moderne. Côté utilisation, c'est une révolution : il prend une place ridicule dans la poche avant du jean. Le système d'élastique permet de glisser jusqu'à 12 cartes facilement, et la protection RFID intégrée est rassurante pour la sécurité des données. [Si version Cash Strap ou Money Clip :] La pince à billets est très ferme. C'est cher à l'achat, mais la qualité de fabrication est exceptionnelle et il est garanti à vie. Un investissement qu'on ne regrette pas

Es pequeñita y rígida, justo lo que quería, muy buena calidad.

Perfect size, well built, and has the tinyest bit of weight to it that makes it feel durable. I carry 5 cards around with me in it, but it could certainly hold more

Excelente cartera, los accesorios son fáciles de instalar, si guardas tu cartera en los bolsillos trasero en algunas ocasiones llega a ser incomoda.

カードの出し入れも非常にスムーズ！そしてなんと言っても外観がカッコいい！
