Chums Surfshorts Wallet | A Minimalist Wallet for Travel and Adventure

The Surfshorts Wallet by Chums is a great option if you’re looking for a minimalist wallet. For me, this wallet fits my minimalist lifestyle almost perfectly.

I’ve carried larger wallets in the past, but rarely found myself using half of what was inside it, so over the past few years I’ve tried several smaller low profile wallets in search of one that can hold what I need, yet still be functional.

After some trial and error, I ended up going with the Surfshorts Wallet made by Chums. Chums offers a few other wallet styles, but this one caught my eye. The wallet is made of rip-stop nylon. This type of nylon, if snagged on something, with not rip apart. The rip-stop nylon (if you look closely) looks like a small square pattern woven into the material. This prevents any small rips, tears, or holes from running the length of the wallet.

Two pockets are secured via zipper closures. There is an ID window ideal for your drivers’ license or any other form of identification on one side of the wallet. The two zipper pockets are perfect for the few cards I carry, a little cash, and business cards. These also keep everything secure so if you do drop your wallet or it falls out of your pocket you’re not scrambling to pick everything up.

All in all, I am really liking this wallet. At a price point of $10, it’s worth picking up a few to keep in the bullpen for when you need to replace one.
