    I have tried 6 of these and none have moved me from my Chums. I am on my second Chums. I go to the gym 5 times a week and they use a qr code for entry. I can use the from without taking out the card. I also carry a small multitool inside and maybe once or twice a month I carry my charge all while having 8 cards I keep. I do not have keys for cars so can carry two keys (home and bike lock) on the key right.

    Good video. I would have liked more if there is more information on advantages and disadvantages of all the wallets. Like for example using ridge wallet when you are in a shop, if you card is in the middle of the pack, you will have to take out every card and find for your right one and all the cards are clearly visible to everyone around. And does Eskster wallet offers warranty on the wear and tear for paying such a high price. Thanks

    Would like to see other ridge wallets tested. I had a ridge wallet for a long time but I got the 24k gold plated wallet. They have always been on top of replacing face plates with the life time warranty but I feel like there is a lot of quality issues, and rubbing off from paint inside of walls to my card. Would love to see a review of the high end wallets from them.

    I think the ridge wallet only made it so high in the list due to sentimental value. Ridge wallets aren’t very user friendly and they are pretty boring.

    • @Gear_43
      @Gear_43  Місяць тому

      I'd actually disagree with that, I have a few different Ridge wallets now, and I find that if I'm looking for something slim that isn't noticeable in my pocket, I end up reaching for one of their products. Thats coming from someone with over 30 minimalist wallets at this point.

      @@Gear_43 You can't compare Apple to Ridge wallet. They're a software and hardware company that is more complex. Ridge wallet is literally cheap materials pieced together that spends tons of money on marketing so they can charge a premium for subpar quality and materials. It would make more sense if they were paying higher salaries if it was made in the USA to compensate for the high price tag. Lastly, is it really a wallet?
