Mountain Voyage Co Minimalist Wallet for Men - Slim RFID I Scratch Resistant, Matte Black Credit Card Holder & Money Clip, Easily Removable Money & Cards, Mens Wallets

If you like Gadgets, you should get this one. I have had mine for more than a month, and it is perfect.Specifically, I really like the look and feel of equipment that serves a specific purpose and is practical.Before buying, I read through the entire product description and through many of the reviews. I always try to read through the 1-Star and 2-Star reviews first, to get an idea of what went wrong for others who made this purchase.Here is what I have come to learn about the Mountain Voyage Minimalist Wallet:This wallet is very durable and very handy. I would have to agree with the product description; Contemporary style with Elegant look and feel, Ultra-Slim & Light weight, Efficient, and Ideal for Everyday use. The money clip feature easily slides out (if you decide you don’t want to use it).I really like this new wallet. So… I bought one for my wife. She loves the simplicity of it and the fact that everything is handy. Much less compartmentalized than her previous wallet and less bulky, too. I also bought one for my son. And while he is still too young to be concerned about the ‘Everyday Carry’ he absolutely loves the look and feel of his new wallet.These wallets are wonderful!“Holds up to 15 Cards”.Okay… although this statement makes for great advertising, it is just a bad idea. Sure, I can stuff 15 cards in this device, but… “Why would I do that?” I’m trying to minimize my Everyday Carry (not just my wallet).For years, I have been carrying around a Big-Beefy-Burger-Style Leather Wallet just like my Dad.“What’s in my Wallet?”:1 Government-Issued Driver’s License, 1 Bank Debit Card, 1 Discover Card, 1 MasterCard, 2 VISA Cards, 1 Wholesale Club Membership Card, 1 Wholesale Club Credit Card, 1 Health Insurance Card, 1 Health Insurance Credit Card, 1 Library Card, 1 Movie Theater Club Card, and 2 or 3 or 4 of those flimsy In-Store-Credit… cards.Okay, so that’s already about 15 cards. And this doesn’t even account for the paper money or all the little extras like pictures or lottery tickets. I was carrying around a lot of stuff. And to be honest, it was a lot of stuff that I rarely ever use.However, I gave it a try. I stuffed this new wallet with all 15 cards… and then tried to pry out… just one card… from the middle. Nope, that did not work so well. Fortunately, I was at home, so all 15 cards just fell onto my table.I had to take a moment to seriously consider, “how many cards do I really need?”I removed everything from my wallet. I set it all out on my table and asked, “what do I really need to carry in my pocket (on a daily basis)?” I quickly separated what I need from what I don’t… and then continued to minimize from there.The Answer: I only really need about 3 cards and some cash (not a lot):My Driver’s License, My Debit Card, One Credit Card, and a few bills (for just-in-case).As I reloaded my new wallet with these few cards, and folded a couple of $20s into my money clip, I remembered that the whole point of the Everyday Carry concept is to minimize the amount of stuff I’m carrying around every day. And this wallet is a perfect solution. I have less to carry. And I haven’t missed any of the extra stuff I use to carry around with me.I highly recommend this wallet for anyone who is interested in carrying around less and being just as effective.I don’t necessarily recommend this wallet as a gift. This is simply because a wallet can be a deeply personal item. It is something that someone carries with them (almost) daily (sometimes for years). Make sure you ‘know your audience’ before you buy something like this.I would also point out that, ‘yes’, the straps are designed to hold cards tightly into place. This is by design. And because of this design, it should also be understood that getting cards out will require a measure of dexterity.I don’t have a review or recommendation for the wooden wallet or leather wallet options.I hope this review helps you.And I hope you have a Wonderful Day!

Got this for a gift for my fiancé. He loves it! He had been complaining about how sitting on his bulky traditional wallet was making his back ache. This one is slim and slides nicely into his back pocket and he says he doesn't even notice that it's there. No more back pain! Fits several cards that are easy to access and has a clip for bills. It's very stylish and durable too.

I've been carrying this wallet for almost two years and been mostly very happy. Only giving it 3 stars because the edges aren't rounded off like a Ridge, and the corners are cutting holes in the pockets of my jeans. I bought this because it was a cheaper version of the Ridge, but replacing one pair of Duluth Ballroom jeans wipes out that savings. Oh well, learn from the mistake and move on.Edit: Upgraded to 4 stars, I looked a some of the other brand and their CF model doesn't have beveled edges either. So now I think I'll order another one of these but one with the aluminum skins.

I really like the size of this wallet. My only gripe is after like 3 months of owning up, some of the wooden corner pieces chipped off for whatever reason. The money clip can be a pain if you have a lot of bills. Very thin in your pocket which is something I like considering I don’t like carrying a lot. Cards can be difficult to access sometimes, you’ll have to push it outward to grab which one you want. Pretty good overall.

I have had this wallet almost 3 years. Looked down this morning and noticed 4 missing screws and a missing chunk out of the wood. Contacted the company through Amazon and within 15 minutes they are sending me the replacement parts at no charge. To paraphrase the great Yogi B. 90% is the product and the other half is the customer service. Very happy with both.

No knocks on the product itself. The build and materials seem fine actually and are quite nice. As you see in the pictures, I bought the FirstVIP money strap version (left) , the FirstVIP ID card version with money clip (middle), and the Mountain Voyage money clip version to compare. Essentially, from all that I researched online (including those I don't have, as well as those costing more than $50), no matter the brand/price, these are all basically the same quality-wise, with a few minimal differences in card accessibility (tension straps). Generally speaking, you'll probably either love them or hate them for their general design and use case.1. You're not putting any of these in your back pocket. They're small, yet still noticeable, hard, metal bricks. This is my main gripe. Basically, you're having to use a front pocket which means your keys, knife, flashlight, phone or even appendix carry options now need to be considered and possibly moved around. Like, do you want to move your phone to the back pocket and put your wallet in your back pocket or keep that traditional? Do you want to swap any of those other EDC setups around to accommodate a front pocket wallet carry? That's going to be a personal preference for everyone to decide on.2. If you have a laminated card of any kind, this could cause an issue for any brand/model and holds true to my tests. My firearms safety card was way too big. I trimmed it to the max and it still has a larger footprint because it has to have an edge to remain sealed. It doesn't look like much, but you definitely notice it when holding it or moving cards around and I think it needs to be considered in this type of minimalist wallet form factor.3. This FirstVIP brand has 2 side straps and no cover on the top or bottom, regardless of the model. Personally I found this to be easier to access the cards in both of these models than this one from Mountain Voyage. However time will tell if this is really good or not. If the straps stretch out, it's likely the cards could slide out more easily on the FirstVIP models, but as a new device, it currently makes the cards more accessible in my opinion and does have good strap tension. The Mountain Voyage model has a strap on one side, plus the top and bottom, which I think is more secure overall, but also not as easy to get to the cards. Personally, I think accessing the cards is the goal, so I didn't particularly like this layout.4. The more I think about it, the fact that bills are out in the open on the money clip, the more of a red flag these minimalist wallets probably are for would-be thieves. Some people can't resist an opportunity or temptation - even if it just $5, but certainly if your flashing Jackson's or Benjamin's. Decide for yourself if that's an issue for you, or not.5. Bulk. It's an overall smaller form factor than most wallets, but it still has some depth to it as you stack in cards and there is no give in the metal frame. If you're a true minimalist, maybe that won't be an issue. I have my driver's license, credit card, debit card, Costco card, veterans card, firearms safety card, medical, dental, gym, state CCW and out of state CCW and it's nearly as thick as my wallet and I can't really see going without any of those. If I go on a business trip, there's 2 more cards I have to add in and I'm still not even carrying any backup credit cards, library card, or loyalty cards. These will accommodate more, but that extra bulk starts to add back up l, pretty quickly.6. Price. All this said, if you like the form factor of any of these devices, you can get them as low as $8.99 or spend upwards of close to $100 for basically the same thing. Is something like a warranty (that doesn't cover cosmetic damage) or a brand name worth the extra money? Not in my humble opinion. I'd rather put money in my wallet, not in purchasing it. The FirstVIP wallets were on sale for less than 1/2 the cost of the Mountain Voyage and IMHO there is no real difference besides the strap form factor for accessing the cards. This will probably boil down to personal preference for many people. However, again, there are tons of options and price points to choose from - shop around. I can't justify paying $30 when a nearly identical product is 1/3 the cost and every bit just as quality and in some ways even better for my personal preferences. And the fact that there are "brand name" options going for $80 on sale that really don't do much different, is insane.In the end, I decided the Mountain Voyage model is going back and I'm going to keep the ID card version from FirstVIP for the times I want/need to front pocket carry and don't need many cards. I liked the extra feature on that one allowing your driver's license or access card to be available immediately. I also like the money clip better than the money straps, which I'm surprised by because I thought the strap would be a better form factor for me when I was considering them in my searches. I don't anticipate I'll actually use this wallet much, but for the roughly $12 it cost, I'm willing to keep one of them around and the price point of the Mountain Voyage doesn't makes sense now.
