    I use the bigger one for travel. I put my passport, cards & cash in it, with other little items. Mainly used for travel though.

    Thanks for the comparison. I’ve been looking at some of the alpaka pouches. I like the smaller ones for use as a wallet.

    The zip card holder is the best,Because you can hold 2 cards on the outside for quick access,Plus you can hold a pen and knife on the outside too👍🏻The only problem with these things is the weird angle you have to slide cards in and out of the main zip pocket

      I still need that one, I didn’t even realize I was missing one until I made this video. And agreed on the cards, I’ve gotten used to it at this point but interestingly, the coin version alleviates the issue as it is slightly larger.

    hi! can you fit cash into the zip clutch without needing to fold it? thank you for this video

    • @UncommonEDC

      Yes, it can in both the zipper pocket and the slot on the back (assuming you are talking about US bills). Thanks for watching!

    I have 1 Alpaka that I got from Obuy that opens as a clam pac, I think it is called the Hub Pouch.

      Nice! The Hub Pouch is my other favorite from Alpaka, great size. Thanks for checking out the video!

    I kinda wish they uses a “latch” style magnet closure on the coin pouch. Like just use the hub system connection. This way you can just pull the tab to open and your good

    • @UncommonEDC
      @UncommonEDC  4 місяці тому

      🤔 That would’ve been interesting. I don’t mind the current magnet, my only issue is the corners of that flap catching on my pocket. Thanks for tuning in!

    New subscriber here. Awesome video. Currently using the Zip Pouch Pro, love its size but seen the Zip Clutch and knew I had to have that one as well. I’m a big guy with big hands so I got the room in my pocket for it to be used as a wallet and hold a few of my EDC items. Also used that discount code, thank you.

    • @UncommonEDC

    I bought 3 of the zip pouch pros and the clutch. I have a question for the guys in particular. Do these wallets feel kinda feminine? They remind me of my grandmother’s coin purse. I have used the zip pouch pros a few times and I have no complaints with the quality or functionality BUT they just don’t have that masculine feel too me? Am I wrong or maybe overthinking this?

    Does the clutch fit a phone?

    • @UncommonEDC
      @UncommonEDC  2 місяці тому +1

      My iPhone 15 Pro Max fits in the slot on the exterior but doesn’t fit in the zipper compartment so depends on the size of the phone. Anything bigger may not fit anywhere but if it’s a bit smaller than the 15 pro max you may be able to fit in the zipper pocket as well as the exterior slot.

    They are all nice until you put something in them. Not well designed. Use one pocket then others become useless.

    • @UncommonEDC
      @UncommonEDC  Місяць тому +1

      It all depends on what goes in them. I am still carrying the zip pouch pro daily and I’ll usually have a mini pen and a small slip joint in the side pockets and it’s still very easy to access everything inside. If you put a large folding knife and a Leatherman in the exterior pockets it definitely gets too tight.

    I could fit my entire Ridge wallet with 10 cards in it inside one of these things. Kinda defeats the minimalist vibe for my purposes.

    • @UncommonEDC
      @UncommonEDC  2 місяці тому

      Fair enough. I haven’t been able to get into the Ridge style wallets but have never tried a Ridge brand one so may need to revisit them eventually. Thanks for watching!
