Maxpedition Gear Micro Wallet Black

I bought my first one 15 years ago. I only replaced it because I melted the clear id window. Quality on the new one seems the same as the old one which is excellent. I'll buy another one in 15 years.

The Micro Wallet is meant for daily carry of the basics. It has a clear window for your ID, two internal card slots, and 1 on the outer back-side. The black 1000 Denier is coated with Teflon according to a tag that came on it. When you look on the reverse-side of the fabric which is really only seen where the inside of the wallet folds, you can easily see how well the fabric appears to be sealed. It should be fairly resistant to wetness, not water-proof but if you splash water on it or have an extra humid day your cards should remain dry. The Denier is very stiff, almost to the point where it seems like it'll be uncomfortable to carry. I know in time with wear and break-in it'll be just fine. The stitching around the edges are very tightly reinforced and are double-stitched. The card slots allow about 1/2" side-to-side play when you have debit/credit cards inserted but they do not slide side-to-side easily. Once I had my wallet loaded with ID, 2 bank cards and a proximity reader card, it closed nice and thin and felt light but not too light. I think there is just enough heft there to realize your wallets secured in your pocket without feeling for it. It's low profile enough to front pocket carry (which is what I want to start doing).This wallet seems like it would last me longer than any wallet I have ever had, hopefully I don't get tired or bored of it like I do with so many of my items. The price seems a dollar or two too high but then when I consider the length of time I might be able to use this thing for it really doesn't bother me at all. The only feature I have a concern about is the plastic window for the ID compartment. With other similar wallets I have had that piece of plastic turn yellow or stained and get quite ugly. It seems like the plastic is a little bit thicker than the normal type in most wallets. It could be made of a more stain resistance plastic if there is such a thing. I'm glad however that there is no hole in the plastic that some wallets have so you can slide your ID up and out with your finger. It's just one solid piece of plastic. Even if the plastic does get discolored it shouldn't leave the ring shaped cut-out visible on my Driver's License. I'm pleased with this wallet, the price was fair and it seems to have the potential to prove it's a extremely high-value item depending on how long it lasts me. This wallet is only for those who travel light and don't need to carry a lot. If you carry cash you'll have to fold your bills and tuck them behind your ID or a card so that is something to consider. I almost never have cash and I use plastic a lot so it suits my minimalistic use.

Great little wallet that i currentlybuse as my EDC.

I bought this wallet in 2016 and seven years later I've been using it every day and it's still getting the job done. Pockets stretched out a bit from when it was brand new and the ID window is slightly foggy, but this thing has been hot, freezing, wet, dirty, sweated on, packed, washed, and had my fat ass sitting on it all day every single day of those 7 years without any sign of wearing out.The design is good, it's small enough that I can fit in my front pocket but flexible enough that I can still stuff a good stack of cards in there. I've considered buying newer, more expensive options in the past but I really don't need anything more from my wallet than what this product delivers.While it's a small thing, I can't remember the last time I bought a product for everyday use that didn't wear out or break down after a few years. Great job Maxpedition.

I'd seen some comments questioning the authenticity of this item so I decided to check it out. Here is the product I received from amazon (Left) vs the product I received from another site (Right). Obviously the one from amazon doesn't match up to what it was pictured to be, as the front logo omits the words "Hard-Use Gear". The barcode tag specifies that it is from a "Legacy Series". Inside, the little logo tabs both say the same information only flipped from back to front.As far as the quality of the two items go, I'd say the one from the other site has a slightly more ridged structure to it, whereas the one from amazon has a flatter plastic window on the inside. Other than that they appear to be made from the same materials with the same stitching and for all intensive purposes they are quite identical. I cannot conclude that the one from amazon is necessarily a knock off as opposed to just an alternate version made by the same company as they both reference maxpedition.com.Having now had them both, I would not hesitate to use the one from amazon. There isn't enough distinguishment as far as practical use goes to avoid doing so. However I will be returning it and keeping the one from the other site as it appears to be the standard more classic version of the product and the logo is cooler. So in conclusion 4 stars because it's not a terrible wallet but PLEASE USE ACCURATE PICTURES FOR THIS PRODUCT. What you will receive is not what is currently pictured.

Great wallet. Thin and small but still holds all my daily carry easily!
