Chums Surfshort Wallet

Comment

I needed a slim mini-wallet to fit into an exterior pocket of my purse for quick access. This fit the bill perfectly. My cards and cash stow easily into the zippered compartments and the zippers work smoothly. The attached keyring allows me to leash it to my purse so it doesnt get lost in the shuffle. (its so small, it could easily get overlooked if it fell out). My complaint - no RFID protection. Im going to go look for some RFID cards to see if I can add some security to it.

Its a double sided zippered pouch slightly larger than your credit card. I fit quite a bit of stuff in there. One side you have for your ID face and cards and the other side is cash. There is a key ring inside it but I cut it out, its useless for me. Pros- Keeps quite a few cards and cash Minimalist, fits really easy in front pockets Water resistant- not water proof persay but really water resistant for PNW weather Cons - You have to be careful with your cash, you dont want to zipper it up and tear it and you have to fold it a specific way for it to fit which is annoying but worth it Key ring inside the zipper is pointless, I removed it. All in all a great little minimalist wallet for me. I use to have one when I use to spend a lot of time in the water and the keyring was good for that but now now so much.

Perfect! I have had issues with my cards bending/breaking in my back pocket wallet so I decided to try a front pocket wallet. My first one (different brand) was extremely slim, difficult to get cards in and out, and also fell out of my pocket every time I sat down. So, after searching I found this wallet and I am glad I did!! I bought a front pocket chain to clip onto the key ring, so there’s no worry about losing it. The wallet provides EASY access to cards for removal and putting back. Currently I have 20 different store cards, credit cards and business cards as well as a couple of bills and there is still room for more. It’s not bulky in my pocket either. Really pleased with it! Love that it’s zippered as well. So far, very pleased and happy with it.

I like to carry the least amount in my pockets as possible. That includes my keys and wallet. This fits that minimalist functionality that im looking for in a wallet. The pluses are: Its made of durable nylon, that means accidentally leaving it in the wash I can dry it out and not worry about it compared to say a leather wallet getting ruined, and it doesnt get scratched up with my keys. It has 3 compartments to store things. i was able to pack 5 credit cards in the main zipper compartment, 4 in the driver license side compartment (which is clear plastic to display your ID) so you dont to fumble around to show it to the clerk. 3rd compartment that is not zippered i can easily throw in some dollar bills. With all this and the wallet is still slim and portable to put in my front pocket with my keys. And lastly, It has a loop to store your keys so you dont have to fumble around looking for keys and your wallet. the minuses are what prevented me from giving this 5 stars. The zipper compartments dont close completely, leaving a slight gap, not a big deal but aesthetically doesnt look good. the other is the display for the ID to show, it covers up portions of the bottom where the signature is or the state at the top. You may have to pull the card out to show to the clerk to verify ID when making purchases. Other than that, im really happy with this purchase.

Ive had many minimalist wallets including metal clips, rubber band style and Leather with magnetic flap. This wallet is by far the lightest and thinnest. There are no sharp edges to poke you when you sit. It will fit more cards than any leather minimalist wallet. it can hold change, receipts, coupons stamps, or whatever!!! Its light enough you could use it as a badge holder on a lanyard, or a travel wallet beneath your shirt. Its way more versatile than any that Ive tried. The only issue I have is that its so lightweight and comfy I sometimes forget where i put it.
