Chums Surfshort Wallet

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.

After receiving this product, I have since found the superior original version of the Chums Card Wallet with key ring and ID window (ASIN B002S6V9PO). This Surfshort replacement doesnt even come close to the quality and utility of the original. I received a few of these replacement Chums Surfshort Wallets, and none of them has a hardy (plastic?) round logo with the bird or any red color, as pictured on product pages of multiple vendors. I happen to like the original wallet with the red-footed booby bird. The originals are better than the replacement ones for many reasons. The original Chums Card Wallets: 1) are slightly larger and more expandable: They hold my license and other cards, cash, lip balm, etc. 2) are sturdier: The material is thick and similar to what is used for backpacks. The edges are all bound. 3) are more secure: The zippers stay shut and dont open on their own. The zippers also have strong cords with easy-pull tabs. 4) are cuter: They have the red-footed booby birds with red feet embroidered into the tough fabric. These replacement Surfshort Wallets: 1) are slightly smaller and have a smaller window: My entire drivers license didnt show through the window, and the wallet didnt hold as much of my stuff. 2) are flimsy: The material is thinner, and there is no binding along the edges. Im guessing my drivers license would cut through the fabric after a while. 3) are not secure. The flimsy zippers open on their own. I lost some change and maybe bills because of this. Although there is an additional open pocket with reflective material, there is nothing I would put in there due to the risk of losing it. 4) are more about product advertising and less about cuteness: Some models have a thin patch with a mono-colored booby bird (no red feet) and the CHUMS logo sticking out of his stomach. The patch on mine started to come off and ravel within the first week of use. I sewed back on what was left of it. The newest models have only the CHUMS logo and no bird. I included a photo of my "new" Chums Surfshort Wallet next to my new original Chums Card Wallet. You can see that the zipper on the replacement is opening on its own, and the top right corner of the thin logo patch has wasted away. I now use this cheap replacement wallet to attach my work ID holder and desk key.

I mainly use this as a wallet when I travel, but is good for everyday use as well. I like that everything I carry is secure in the zippered parts. ID, Credit Cards, other cards, cash, change, room key (whether its a room card or an actual key). Heres the trick...One way that I use this differently is I replace the keyring from the nylon attachment with about 3/4 foot of paracord (not 550 - I use the the slightly smaller size to cut down on bulk) and tie it off so it is secure. Then, when Im ready to head out for the day, I take the paracord and loop-attach it around my front belt loop. I dont tie it to the belt loop, I stick the loop through then pull the wallet through the loop. That way its easy to take off if needed and you arent untying any knots. But why the heck would I do all that? When I travel I worry about pickpockets. So not only do I have my wallet in my front pocket which can be safer, I also have it attached to me so it cant easily be slipped out and removed. When using, I can get to money, ID, cards, whatever I need and it never leaves me. Hopefully I explained that well enough, but if not I can post a picture of how I do it. This wallet is also great for an amusement park. #1 the material its made out of is great for water rides. #2 if you use the trick above, you wont need to worry about it flying out of your pocket on a roller coaster.
