Don't you think things like this about your wallet?
The solution to those worries is the Montbell "Trail Wallet".
The Montbell "Trail Wallet" is,
a wallet optimized for "carrying," pursuing "lightness," "simplicity," and "toughness."
.
It's not just for outdoor or travel use as a secondary wallet; if you are primarily cashless, you can also use it as your everyday wallet.
In this article, I will review the Montbell "Trail Wallet" based on my own experience using it.
Basic specs of the Montbell "Trail Wallet"
First, let's start with the basic information about the Montbell "Trail Wallet".
To summarize...
It's a Montbell brand wallet with light and durable fabric.
It has just enough storage, comes in many colors, and offers great value for money.
That's the feeling.
Reviewing the usability of the Montbell "Trail Wallet"
A wallet that is incredibly light and durable
Its biggest features are its lightness of just 15g and the high-strength material uniquely developed by Montbell, "Ballistic® Ultra Nylon". It is an incredibly light and durable material, and it is light and comfortable even when
tossed roughly into your pants pocket.
The usability of a bold "no-fastener" design
The Trail Wallet has no fasteners at all, such as buttons or tape.
At first, I was worried that the contents might spill out, but after using it, I found it surprisingly logical.
When paying, the entire process of taking out the wallet, opening it, and retrieving the contents is completely snag-free and stress-free.
A "coin pocket" you can access without opening the wallet
The design feature I found most convenient about this wallet is the coin pocket placed independently on the outside.
For example, it is convenient in situations like the following.
Use without opening the wallet: For situations where you need coins, such as vending machines or parking lots.
Locking zipper: Prevents it from opening on its own and scattering coins while running.
Wide gusset: High visibility of contents, making it easy to pick out coins with your fingers.
Furthermore, I was impressed by the design where the stored coins act as a certain amount of "weight."
It also plays a role in stabilizing the tri-fold structure that has no fasteners.
What is the storage capacity of the Montbell Trail Wallet?
Bill pocket
When I actually tried it, I found that I could store up to about 5bills without any stress. If you use it in combination with cashless payments, I think it's perfectly functional.
Note that the bills will retain a fold.
Card pocket
It's perfect for a credit card, cash card, and driver's license.
You can stack thin cards, but considering how easy it is to take them in and out, three cards is the best.
Coin pocket
It can hold about 15 coins.
It's meant for storing change from transactions, so it's not suitable for managing a large amount of coins.
