The UHMWPE version is about half the price, but I suspect that it won’t age as nicely as leather. The only thing that’s not on point about the Stealth Wallet might be its price, at least for the leather version. It’s even thinner than my personal favorite EDC wallet, the Anson Card Holder.Īnd whether you get the composite fabric or the leather version, it’ll be tougher than steel (and equipped with RFID protection as a bonus).īasically, this wallet is the right choice for someone who wants the thinnest carrier for up to 8 cards and a few bills of cash.Īnd since the card slots are offset from left to right, when you go to close the wallet it’ll stay thin even if it’s fully packed.
