The best clone of the ridge is the rossm they even do a lot of the same models but at least a third of the price but most at a quarter of the price of the ridge and the only difference is the lack of a lifetime warranty which does not mean much as the peice most likely to fail is not covered by the warranty and neither is the finish because it doesn't include wear and tear So the warranty is not worth the paper it's printed on unless you get one that was badly manufactured and fall apart within a few weeks which is highly unlikely
I’ve always said you always get what you pay for. I’ll always stand by that. Yes you can buy multiple cheap knock off ones but I’d rather just bite the bullet and get a good one. Just my opinion I love The Ridge wallet and will always carry one.
I agree you get what you pay for. After owning the ridge wallet and using it for months, I personally still think it is extremely overpriced. The quality is decent but not worth anywhere near the asking price. I would not recommend it to people unless they feel like burning money.
@@EverythingPracticalor people should wait for sales on these, i also got titanium wallet from ridge and my initial feel was similar to yours, it arrived with screwdriver that was already weared out and airtag clip that i had to swap .... luckily i noticed the broken screwdriver just in time before i destroyed the screws 😀 yes the price when off sale is monstrous ... but its all about profit margins , if rossm or mountain voyage will sell these 10 dollar wallets for 50 bucks they still make good profit anyway , and i would rather prefer ridge when on sale than other similar wallets , im now considering aviator wallet though because of bigger and better accesible coin tray and ability to change capacity of cards , but all of these wallets suffers from one problem that i hate and its that bills are exposed so older bills might tear more quickly when they are double folded and are not covered inside wallet, especially when you carry the wallet inside the backpack and it moves in it with other stuff around
@@EverythingPractical I was in a bar in Hackney London, not the nicest area, and I guy I didn’t know came up and said move that wallet or it will be stolen, never done it again, hope you get away with it 👍
Wallets been in my back pocket my entire life, never had it stolen. I grew up in NYC and was taught to have situational awareness aka if I don’t know you, you aren’t getting that close to me without being addressed.
Is it just me or does this look absolutely unusable? Im 100% sure at some point when im in a rush getting my bus pass out im going to press something too hard and explode my wallet all around me. Its a disaster waiting to happen!
Don't buy this wallet. It does next to nothing an elastic band can't do. You have to fumble to get cards out and it doesn't hold notes securely. I'll be using my 10 year old leather wallet.
How does everyone feel about the money being on the outside of the wallet? I’m worried that may attract the wrong attention. I just ordered it for my husband.
I have the exact same wallet but without the Ridge logo now for a couple months. It's really different from a 'classic' wallet but I like it a lot. I paid about 7 USD including shipping for it. China is your friend ;)
Pretty good 20% off coupon code, not be doing research I think it's going to be a good fit, but I completely agree with you as far as the keychain goes, I wanted to get one but there's no way in hell I'm spending that much money, I wouldn't spend more than $20 on it.
Just buy it at aliexpress for 6bucks, ridge also gets them for an even cheaper price from china and make a ton of money selling it for 20times more as they paid for it. Its called marketing and all those youtube videos help them to get known
How has it held up? I’m thinking about getting the black leather because I don’t have to worry about chipping or it getting paint chips but they don’t have a matching leather key case so I’ve been thinking about this one but with the blue flake.
I have stopped using mine regularly and have since been using my wallet from Vaultskin. At a 5th of the price and it is much more comfortable to carry around. But, the ridge wallet held up well. I had quite a few dents around the edges even though I was careful with it.. again, if it were 50.- Id say go for it, but it's too overpriced for what it is, in my opinion.
Im thinking about buying a RidgeWallet but im conserned about how easily it dents/scratches. Would you mind telling me about how easy it was to scratch/dent the wallet?
@@EverythingPractical Id really like to see how it looks after 6 months. It would be sad if the scratches and dents were so apparent that the overall look of the wallet was destroyed.
I ordered one but may return it as I keep my employee badge in my wallet and the card reader at the door of my building may not pick it up due to RFID blocker. I'll leave my badge on the money clip and see how that goes.
@@EverythingPractical compassion?? Do you mean COMPARISON? Haha-Well I didn’t like the video. It didn’t give what the title says! “Ultimate review” 😂 Besides, as a content creator you know that any interaction with the post is positive for you. So calm down, sir.
Comparison, yes. Auto-correct 🤭 and I am calm 🙃 Ultimate Review, not Ultimate comparison 😉 and to note, there is a comparison to another popular style of a minimalist wallet. Did you miss that? What doesnt make sense with your comment is that it infers that all videos should compare to what else is available on the open market, and as it may be nice, that is not the point of most videos. This video is a review of the Ridge wallet. The video is very detailed, and I provide the dimensions of the wallet as well as compare it to another minimalist wallent. The information is there... So, in a way, I wonder if you are unable to deduce the difference of items if it is not clearly laid out for you or, in general, just have unreasonable expectations.
Who would want to buy this wallet for real? This is the company that had Trevor Jacob crash his plane after he jumped out of it! This is an irresponsible company! I sure hope people have a brain and think about the damage that could have been caused if someone were hiking in the area or to any wildlife in the area when the plane went down in the stunt promoted by this company! Shame on you guys for doing such an irresponsible Act! I'd go out of my way to buy from anyone else but you guys. When you put people's lives on the line and the welfare of all wildlife that live in the area where the plane crashed, it's totally irresponsible! Would never buy your wallet. Ever!!
Im not sure what I said but certainly not more than $10... if you're only looking at this main material cost, a kilogram of Titanium is under $10 and carbon fiber under $20. The tiny tiny pice that is applied to this wallet is very likely worth no more than 25 cents, considering a "small" production run.
"As it's carbon fibre it's going to be very sturdy" is a statement that aged well :)
The best clone of the ridge is the rossm they even do a lot of the same models but at least a third of the price but most at a quarter of the price of the ridge and the only difference is the lack of a lifetime warranty which does not mean much as the peice most likely to fail is not covered by the warranty and neither is the finish because it doesn't include wear and tear

Cash strap is more secure to hold your cash as it has teeth on the other side to hold on to the cash!
Anyone keeping any wallet in their back pocket is nuts and asking to have it stolen
Eh I still use an old style wallet I’m a caveman
Mehhhh, wear it where it's comfortable. Still haven't had a wallet stolen, and I pretty much always carry it in my back pocket. Knock on wood...

Finally, a reasonable person 🙃
Thanks for the tips on removing the cards, i just got one of these and it broke my brain
I've had my ridge wallet for 10 years now and it still looks great. For the Keychain i would recommend the keysmart, same concept but better design
Is it just me or does this look absolutely unusable? Im 100% sure at some point when im in a rush getting my bus pass out im going to press something too hard and explode my wallet all around me. Its a disaster waiting to happen!
Wait people still keep wallets in back pockets?? Pick pockets love you guys.
If often button my pocket when I keep it in the back.
A good video. It made me decide that ultimately it's not for me. I think I like classic wallets too much.
Don't buy this wallet. It does next to nothing an elastic band can't do. You have to fumble to get cards out and it doesn't hold notes securely. I'll be using my 10 year old leather wallet.
Look very hard to get the card you want
So what was the wallet you compared it to at 3:02 timestamp - that one looked good to me !
😄 a generic RFID wallet. I have it as a gift from a sales company so I dont know the exact brand.
@@EverythingPractical Ahh okay got it 🙂
Back in high school I would use the orbit & Trident gum package 😂
Lol you too!! Nice!!
How does everyone feel about the money being on the outside of the wallet? I’m worried that may attract the wrong attention. I just ordered it for my husband.
Yeah. I dont like that and the cards are still open to the world. I would like a zip all the way around.
I live in switzerland too so thats nice to know how the bills fit in☝🏻👍🏻
😃
You have to fold it twice, otherwise it hangs off of the side

Mmm I don't know brooo to expensive for the poor functionality to be honest
Agree!
I think the price is absolutely ridiculous. But it's a good idea. I'm actually thinking about buying one, though.
I have a leather SecureID wallet for the last 8 years and it still looks like new.
I don't like how this wallet doesn't have a place to hold money inside the wallet. Cash can slide off, and is easier to steal or simply lose.
Thanks for your honest opinion
What is your other rfid wallet called where can i buy it?
Moving your wallet to a front pocket is more secure as well.
who made the smaller leather wallet?
Thank you. Very helpful review.
I would not trust a company that spells aluminium wrong in their coin addon...
Snapped my carbon fiber keycase in couple of months.. not really good quality for $95 keycase .. my orbitkey keycase last longer
Did you have it repaired under the "Lifetime guarantee" ?
They didn't honor it somehow
Sorry to hear... but doesn't surprise me....
Did it take long?
I just bought one. The only thing that sold me was the lifetime warranty. Since I’m incredibly hard on stuff 😂
But it's a limited lifetime warranty. It doesn't cover hard use - as I understand
I bought a leather card wallet just as thin and easier to access your cards
How has it held up? I’m thinking about getting the black leather because I don’t have to worry about chipping or it getting paint chips but they don’t have a matching leather key case so I’ve been thinking about this one but with the blue flake.

I had mine for less than 6 months with noticeable dents and scratches. Perhaps I should do an update video
@@EverythingPractical Id really like to see how it looks after 6 months. It would be sad if the scratches and dents were so apparent that the overall look of the wallet was destroyed.
@@Loiflaaxwhat would prevent him from intentionally beating it up? 🤔
Good idea! I'll consider this video 😃
I suppose nothing, but defeats the purpose of an honest video review... don't lose your trust in humanity...
can you do an update a year later?
Sure can!
The ridge rings on the website is ridiculous, 200 bucks for rings
New options coming soon!!
My rings is almost 2 grand lol. I'd rather spend more for a ring than 200 bucks for a wallet
Rossm wallet same shit 30 EU
I ordered one but may return it as I keep my employee badge in my wallet and the card reader at the door of my building may not pick it up due to RFID blocker. I'll leave my badge on the money clip and see how that goes.
I leave my id on the back of my phone case. I use an otter box on my iPhone 12 and it’s perfectly convenient for me.
I keep my work access card under the cash strap so the rfid doesn't get blocked.
You can get a copycat for less than $15.
Bet it’s not the same quality
…but it is the same quality 👀
@@BlackandBeats Nope.
No life time warranty
*limited* lifetime warranty, which in the end doesn't really cover much...
I just like to flex just because its the 24 carats one 😂😂😂
Fair play 😎
Thanks for saving from purchasing! The price just isn't justified.
Happy to help!
Check out my new video for a budget friendly alternative, from Vaultskin 😊
I'm just gonna stick with my Dickies wallet.
Great gimmick, but doesn’t look like a good practical option.
over a year later and still the same price
They won't get cheaper unless there is a sale. So, don't wait for the price to drop, that will only happen briefly a couple of times a year...
Enjoy!
Would have been nice if you compared other brands of minimalist wallets instead of traditional. 👎
Not sure the lack of compassion deserves a thumbs down...

lol pipe down.
You could always just crash a plane and get it for free.
🧐
Lol u said strap on
On purpose too 😉
You start so many sentences off with "Now..."
Never noticed..
im not gonna say the b.o.m is 100$ but there is no way they are making these wallets with titanium and carbon fiber for 5$ lmao.

Who keeps their wallet in their back pocket? You are not supposed to do this. That's how things get damaged.
I have always kept my wallet in my back pocket. The only thing I have had damaged is my pants from this ridge wallet!
@@EverythingPractical and your back, many people wont believe the damage especially the old school wallets did to the spine of generations of people😅
I dont normally sit on it though. That is indeed uncomfortable
