Always wanted a Ridge wallet. So glad I’ve purchased. Quality bit of kit!!
Small
Durable
Good fraud protection
Takes a bit of getting used to if moving from standard wallets but the husband likes it and is happy that his cards have more protection than if in a normal leather or canvas walle
This is a good product. It really slims down what you carry and forces you to think about what you really need. I have to say, it’s very expensive for what it is, though.
They live long, the carbon fiber is 3 and half years old, and still going strong, didn’t need to do anything to it.
if you live in Europe / UK, get yourself one, skimming your credit card is impossible with this wallet, as it has RFID protection. and it can take a lot of cards, mine is carrying now 10 cars and still look awesome, and when I travel I drop those cards to 4, and the wallet is still fine, not stretched in any way. if you get this, you won’t look back, only problem with this to be honest is the price, but again you are buying quality .. and quality has a price, and last long :).
The carbon fibre is a really nice finish, and very light. You are paying top dollar for essentially 2 strips of carbon fibre, some plastic and and elastic.
The wallet feels really compact and holds my 6 cards comfortably. I wouldn’t fancy having any more than that in it.
The money strap is also useful, I have found myself using that quite a bit.
All in all, it’s expensive for what it is but feels premium and I will use every day so can justify the price.
A great way to neatly store cards and fits comfortably in your front pocket. My only comment is around getting the cards out but if you put your most used cards on the outside easy to retrieve them.
Does the job perfectly well. There is an easily acquired knack to removing and replacing the cards efficiently; different to but no harder than sliding them out of a normal wallet, you just need to get used to it. Don’t listen to the moaners belly-aching about how they think its difficult, they must be all finger and thumbs and, frankly, are admitting to be dexterously incompetent. A little expensive for what it is though. More colour options would be nice too.
i’m torn on this. i love this wallet. it’s good quality and easy to use but that price is really high. i always wanted one but couldn’t justify paying 85 for it. i wouldn’t have bought it if it wasn’t for getting money for christmas and even then i hesitated buying it but i’m glad i got it. as happy as i am with it and as much as i’d miss it, i really do hope the advertised lifetime warranty is genuine because i don’t think i would spend 85 of my own money on one if anything happened to the one i have.
inserting cards/removing them is easy. the wallet holds cards/cash securely but not too tight. it feels well built and durable (also very light). really good quality and i think it will last me years. i’m impressed with it but i can’t give it 5/5 due to the price.
The wallet is great as takes up little space in the wallet. I would recommend also investing in a card size tracker as due to small size, it is easy to misplace it. With my phone, I can track where I left my wallet.
Sleek design, rfid blocking works well & the cash strap is securely holding all the notes I was carrying in my old wallet
reduced my card carry from 10 down to just 6 however it is taking some getting used to as I often need to used three at one time which can be a bit of a fumble if in a hurry
image is after over a year of significant use, the cash strap other elasticated straps are fine and show no signs of wearing
Durability, 2nd to none, so strong, not a scratch on it and I’ve had it a couple of months now!
Value for money, I think it’s very much worth the price, due to the fact you’ll use it for years and years! Plus Ridge wallet sell replacement elastic if that goes so it’s all around great package to last for decades!
Sturdiness, it’s very robust, it’s solid, elastic is great, easy to open but shuts closes very tight!
Overall, Superb wallet, easy to use, I might another for different occasions as it’s so simple to swap over your cards!
This is a definitely a premium product and that is reflected in the price. The wallet is very solid and the aluminium finish is high quality. The wallet comes with additional screws and a screw driver allowing you to adjust the waller if needed (I haven’t needed to).
The money band holds notes securely and the strong elasticated bands hold the wallet together so that it holds cards safely within. There is an option to swap the band for a clip, if you prefer, and they can be easily swapped. Though only one is included.
I truly love this Wallet.
Small, but big enough for what i want it for, strong, sturdy, well made, this list could go on and on…………
Probably this best wallet i have ever had, and that is saying something.
Highly recommend ad would buy again 🙂
This wallet looks good, its different (in a good way), and seems to work well for RFID blocking. I’ve tried using cards that are partially in/out of the wallet and the payment reader will not pick up the card. The card needs to be about 1/3 of the way out to work, with the others safely behind the protective Ridge case sides. Very slim in pocket, not too heavy. Its really well made and materials and build appear to be of high quality. Got after sales email from Ridge offering support and any issues at all to get in touch with them, that was a nice re-assuring touch. Only unknown is how long the elastic cash holder will keep its elasticity, but given the lifetime warranty, if starts to get saggy, I’ll be in touch with Ridge. Until then, its being used everyday since purchase.
I’ve got lots of wallets, Tumi, Burberry, Mulberry, Bellroy – but this beats them all! I’m about order my second one for some variety….. These days when we all want things to be smaller and convenient, we rarely carry cash – but still need our cards – this is perfect. Buy one! You won’t look back – but beware of the cheaper alternatives.
I’ve been using it for a week now and it seems like a good purchase so far. Seems pricey but also seems like it will last a very long time. I wasn’t sure how effective the cash strap would be but it feels like a surprisingly safe way of holding notes; they’re not even close to slipping out.
I wanted to wait a while before writing my review, simply to “live” with the wallet. I can’t fault it! Small and compact design, so much so that for the first few days I found myself double checking to make sure it was in my pocket!
Despite the lack of weight there is no lack of sturdiness, it feels like it will last and add to the I find it astecticly pleasing. I have the version with the money strap and it holds notes and cards securely.
The rose gold colour is very nice and it’s not as heavy as I had expected. It is perfect if you don’t carry too much cash or coins around with you. And know that it’ll block RFID skimmers is also great specially in the London Underground where you are a bit squished.
I must admit that I was a bit sceptical of the minimalist design of the Ridge wallets. After some research I decided to give it a shot and I was shocked with how good this wallet is and looks.
The build is extremely solid and you get what you paid for. I opted for the model with the elastic band instead of the money clip and to my surprise it holds the money really well.
I does take time to get used to using a minimalist wallet, but if you are tired of carrying around cards that you haven’t used in ages (yes…we all have those reward cards laying around) this wallet is perfect for you.
I’m so pleased with this wallet that I’m considering buying another model!
I had been looking for a while at The Ridge Wallet as I have an unhealthy obsession with wallets and reducing my EDC. I have to carry a lot of stuff with me every day for work, 2 phones, 2 wallets, keys, PPE, etc and HATE the fact that weight of everything is stunting my growth!
Having collected all of the Trayvax wallets to date, which I love, there just were not perfect and I always ended up changing them. I went for it and bought The Ridge Wallet the other day on a whim and received it earlier than Amazon stated it would arrive.
The wallet is brilliant, its slim, light and well made! Admittedly I am sceptical how the elastic will hold up with my job, but it does hold a lifetime guarantee which is always in the back of my mind, should anything go wrong.
I can honestly say all of my dozens of other wallets are in the drawer for now as I haven’t yet found any faults with it!
The wallet is pricey, but what other wallet comes with the lifetime guarantee? Enough said!
BUY IT!
The Ridge not only looks sleek as heck it feels it as well. It feels weighty in the hand but not in the pocket. Fanning cards looks and feels great, and once you used to it can be accomplished with grace and ease of the coolest cat around.
I would highly recommended for any dapper gent or slick suited stud.
Really love this wallet, really easy to use, really well built, already had a load of compliments and questions. Yes it is expensive and I would probably recommend getting the aluminium one over the titanium version, unless you want the burnt colour. If you do not want anything on the back, I would get the cash clip which you can remove. If you get the band you will need to order a new elastic from The Ridge from their site.
Great product. Very utilitarian. A little difficult to get cards out. Elastic ever so slightly to tight but I haven’t broken a card since having. Quality is awesome but not sure it justifies the price tag
Very expensive but it is the best
The carbon fibre suits the cash strap version because cash slides better under the strap due to its silky finish, tried the titanium and I found the finish was very Matt causing cash to snag whilst pushing under the strap.
This Carbon Fibre version is Perfect.
And looks the part too.
Very pleased
Like the product a lot and it seems to be well built. But getting the cards in / out of the wallet seems a bit trickier than I’d like. Not so tricky though that I’m chucking it cause it stilll does the job well – and the cash strap is good for a few notes
My criteria for getting this was
– small
– robust
– RFID protection
As other people have said put regularly used cards in the front and least used at the back, I now only carry with my what I have to. Accessing the cards you need to make sure you fan out the cards and remove what you want. It takes some practice but it is do-able.
It costs more than other wallets but the material and construction is what makes the difference. You can get a cheaper version but build quality is poor. I don’t like paying twice because its cheap its more expensive in the long run.
I have yet to use it on travels but will report back when I do.
