QOTD: ⚡Which is your favorite and why?
I’m leaning closer to the trayvax, the visual and usability seem great to me. The materials too, I love that brass!
The materials in the contour are amazing. It think in terms of features the M1 should get a higher score, if you go on the dango website, there are so many components and several was to customize the Maverick. Personally I think the M1 is better only because of the add ons. Having several different types of wallets/uses within one frame.
@@astor78 i would agree if only the tolerances on the add-ons was on point, that rattle drove me crazy and moved to the contour--- no more rattle other than that great wallet
Flipside beats them both. Hands down.
Without actually holding them to get a feel for functionality, I would go with the Dango for its aesthetic.
Was sent here by Jimmy Tries World, not dissapointed.
Welcome! Great to have you!
Thank you so much for your review! This was great! The Gold Contour has now been updated to solid Brass ($164.99), and the top plate is now a melonite, rather than PVD. :) -Ariana | Trayvax Customer Support
Thanks for the update!
I’ve owned the M1 Rail for several years and I love it. I’ve attached the money clip, but use it rarely for bills (who carries money anymore). I use the wallet also for displaying my ID at work while wearing it around my neck. I also find even outside work I wear it around my neck.
I chose the Dango M1 rail wallet with money clip as I can fold bills in half instead of thirds or quarters. The card capacity is more than I thought I needed including some cards (membership rewards) that I don't need to carry as they are saved in my Google Pay app. Also, it all looks great in BLACK! That being said, I bought the M1 at 50% off with Dango's coupon code that helped motivate me to buy it 🤑
How are you liking the wallet a month later?
Jimmy recommend your channel. I love your presentation and attention to detail. Well deserving of way more subscribers! Keep up the good work!
Much appreciated! Jimmy was very kind to give us the shout out.
When it comes to reviewing wallets, u are the best men!👍 bringing the brands background, details etc....
Thanks!
Man, what an outstanding comparison! Shy of actually having them in my hand I could not ask for better insight, thank you!
Thanks for the video. I've owned the Trayvax Contour for several years and love it. Don't think I'll ever need to purchase another, it's well built. But can't deny the Dango does look sweet and tempting.
I have used the Trayvax for a few years. I just received my M2 Maverick today in the mail. Im excited to try it...
The contour. It's very classy and works well for my needs. Everyone needs a bottle opener on their wallet
Lol I've been binge-watching your videos recently after buying an aviator slide wallet (im weirdly obsessed with it) because of your review and chrispy things' review. You definitely are very knowledgable and dedicated to wallets. Thanks for giving us all these reviews and making our purchase process easier and fun
Also I really wish you would make more reviews like comparing the aviator slide wallet with other wallets or carrying it I guess because there are literally only two reviews on all of youtube (I had to watch yours and Chrispy's twice to satisfy my obsession) and I think its a super cool wallet and definitely comparable to a lot of things and worth the purchase. Thx for considering in advance
Thanks Jasmine, what comparisons are you wanting to see?
walletopia Hello,
I would like to see the aviator compared to one or more of these (but you dont have to do any if you dont want to obviously)
1. ridge wallet
2. trayvax wallet
3. ekster (whichever one)
4. dango (whichever one)
5. whatever other wallet you think is similar somehow
I mainly want to see it compared to the ridge, trayvax, and ekster because the ridge and trayvax they seem kind of hard to take the cards out of and also the dango it looks kinda hard to take the cards out in your video compared to the slide and fan aviator wallet. Also there is a lot more card capacity in the aviator and you can put cash in the double coin tray for concealed carry. I just really like the aviator and i feel like theres not enough coverage on youtube considering how its very functional in my opinion. But also it has flaws such as the cash strap being EXTREMELY hard to lift up for me (my nails are very soft) and even hard to lift up with cash. but you dont have to do a comparison if you dont want to and thanks for the reply
Great suggestions, thanks Jasmine!
Singular Leather Wallet from Portugal🇵🇹 is my favorite wallet ever. I own the Trayvax Element, the Ascent and the Summit, but this minimalist wallets from Portugal are awesome!
Nice video tough.. greetings from the Netherlands🇳🇱
It just arrived a couple weeks back, it's on the list for our next review work!
walletopia WoW!!! Please mention my love for Jorge. The maker of those awesome wallets!😃
Very curious what your opinion is about it!! 🙌🏻
@@b-rj1171 He's amazing, such a dedicated maker.
walletopia He really is!!
Dango M1 titanium is the Goat 🐐
Yes, right behind the Trayvax Contour Titanium ;)
DANGO ALL DAY!
Like other people, I am here from Jimmy. This channel is suprisingly high quality and it 100% needs more subscribers.
Thanks Matas, Jimmy was very kind to give us the shout out.
@@walletopia No problem mate.
Great work Mark..I think the STOW wallet is much simple and more innovative at a fair price.Thanks.
From the perspective of overseas buyers neither of these companies does well.
Dango M1 - There is a 50% off code which is great, HOWEVER their shipping price to Australia is ridiculous. $US54 for the wallet and $US54.96 for shipping. FYI - I regularly receive items from the US with postage under $15 and for items around this size and cost it is usually free.
Trayvax - They do free international shipping for orders over $US59 which is great (see above). However they don't even have Australia in their list of shipping countries. Keep in mind, they do ship all over the world, even to countries such as Samoa, Burkina Faso, and Nepal (some I picked randomly from their drop-down). Their shipping drop down seems to have less than 50% of countries and no idea why.
Very frustrating!
Here from jimmy, nice!
Welcome! Jimmy was very kind to give us his shoutout
Could you add to your reviews maybe how comfortable some of these wallets are to sit on please . Besides that I really enjoyed your reviews
That an interesting thing to bring up I never thought of that because I never put my wallet in my back pocket
They are designed to be front pocket wallets. The Trayvax Contour description reads
“Our most sophisticated CNC-machined front pocket wallet to date.”
And the media on the Dango M1 site shows the wallet being placed in a front pocket.
i own the trayvax contour. love it
It's one of my favorites, especially after doing a carry test with it.
Have you dropped them with cards to see if any do come out?
Looking to purchase a new wallet. Can’t decide if I want the Trayvax contour, Dango t01 bifold and in a distant 3rd is the Popov 5card
ANY of those are great wallets.
I'm here to check out the M1 Rail, but wanted to ask if you or anyone had any recommendations for open ID wallets like the M1? I'm looking for something I can wear as lanyard w/ ID, but pop it into my pocket at the end of the day.
Flipside 4 wallet is something you might like.
Great review
What wallet do you carry on a daily?
What’s your go to wallet?
Secrid mini
Dango all the way everyday!
Any update on the Aurochs Infinity wallet review?
It's coming! It's a mix of new wallets and models from makers we've done reviews with in the past.
Great videos! Please review the Diplomat by Andar, thanks!
We have it! I’ll add your vote to it!
WOWOWOW
Love my dango rail wallet got it for 80 no complaints haggled with dango about govx have it for 80 and they beat govx on free shipping on orders over 49 dollars
Great video
Thanks!
how do these metal wallets do when it is cold outside; and when I mean cold, I mean below 10*F If one were in Alaska, how do these wallets work with gloves on? Granted, I know not a lot of ppl in Alaska, or other cold state, but there are still ppl who need wallets...so, are these all-wx wallets, or just fair-wx wallets?
I just use an old leather bifold with an indian head tooled into it...well used to be before I wore it out. I've been gluing this thing back together for years. I'd like to replace it but I can't find another with the built in change purse on the right and the card slot on the left...a card slot with a hole cut into it. It's perfect for pushing them out with your thumb so you can dig through them easier. It's the perfect wallet design and it's at least 60 years old. I don't get what's become of this world where you can't just get a good wallet anymore. A wallet that's JUST a wallet, and nothing more.
The Trayvax Contour just looks nicer... i love mine.
Confused on why you don’t like the RFID feature?
How would the cards fall out of the top with the rail system?
Not easily, but a drop or shaking it hard could dislodge them, but it wouldn't be a common occurrence.
Not sure I would say the Contour is bulky. It has a tiny credit card sized footprint. It is thicker than say, the Stow or Trove wallets, but it's pretty minimalist as far as I'm concerned... The dango is bulky and clunky. Trayvax is a much better wallet, IMHO. I used the rail wallet for 1 day, and in my closet it has sat since. I like what Trayvax does in theory, but honestly, the Contour is the only product they sell that I like. I'll go a step further and say the Contour is the wallet of the decade. They really hit a home run here.
My bulky comment came due to the depth of the wallet, the Rail is thinner. HOWEVER, the Rail is much wider so overall, so like a deck of cards, the Contour feels better in your hands.
@@walletopia Agree, I didn't like the bulky Dango in my pocket, so it was out of my pocket after just 1 day. The Contour is a little thick, due to the Melonite plate, the titanium CNC machines piece, and then the thick leather, but it's not that thick... Mine is .7 inches thick when loaded with 7 cards, and 4 bills folded in thirds. Actually, the Dango T02 and T01 are better wallets than this rail wallet, in my opinion anyways... Much smaller footprint.
What I like about the Contour is the "solid" feel in your hand. It doesn't feel heavy, just "solid".
walletopia no doubt. It’s a champion.
I like the trayvax better less bulky and I like the leather on it just have to make sure it's adjusted as it changes the more cash or cards put in
The M1 from Dango comes with a leather bifold for less then the trayvax
I just picked it up the wallet is awesome
I’ve been leaning towards the Trayvax Contour, I like the looks and size. I currently have an Ascent and I should’ve gotten the Contour. I will say the Ascent is a great wallet.
The Ascent is good, take that solid feel and up the usability and functionality and you have the Contour.
walletopia I have an amazon gift card, but they aren’t currently selling it on Amazon, so I’ll wait. Love the reviews who knew wallets were interesting?
Yes, they pulled their wallets off of Amazon about a year ago. Thanks for the comment, I figured if a shoe shine channel can have over 200k subscribers, a wallet channel can d
do the same. We carry them everyday, but don't think much about them. Once we think about them, they do become interesting :)
Love my Ascent. Also love my Dango D01 R-Spec, and D007 Pen Wallet.
Trayvax contour when I feel minimum
Ashland Fat Herbie when I feel bling
The contour is minimal since its not much bigger than a cards parameter
Do you have a wallet you can recommend? I can't watch every one of these videos
Couple ways, you can go to walletopia.info/rankings and find the chart that’ll give you the ratings for all the wallets, or go to explore.walletopia.info, it’s an interactive method to drill down on wallet options to find one that fits your needs.
Good review... but this is missing something very important.... showing how cards and cash actually fit in these wallets!
Yes, that would be in the individual reviews.
I know that Trayvax contour is a front pocket wallet but, have somebody tried it in the back pocket?
I did a carry test on it and tried for a day, sore butt, uncomfortable sitting. The metal makes it hard.
@@walletopia thanks for the quick response. Great channel 👍. One more question, what is your own personal wallet? Your actual real daily wallet.
Please review serman brands 2.0 🥺
Thanks Jonas we've had quite a few requests for it, I'll add you vote!
try KeySmart Urban Passport Wallet
Thanks! We’ll add it to the purchase list!
Maybe a silly question, but aren't these metal wallets rough on pants pockets?
Depending on the wallet, absolutely. The best a manufacturer can do is round corners and edges but you’ll still have metal in your pocket
I daily the trayvax contour and I sometimes forget it's even there
I have both....why didn't I just buy the Trayvax first. The Dango sits in a shoe box in my closet. Poor fella 😆
If it ain't leather I'm not interested
The M1 has leather conversions.
Trayvax 100%, the dango just looks flimsy
This Dango, being all metal, is very solid. Both will last a long time.
M1 RAIL HAS MODIFIED ADD ONS, LIKE THE CAPSULE SLIDE TO ADD EXTRA CARDS.
ALONG WITH THE BIFOLD WALLET TO ATTATCH TO THE M1 RAIL.
Any wallet that relies on an elastic band is rubbish.
I agree 100%!!!
trayvax takes it just because of the quality of leather
My personal opinion:
- material: Trayvax 1 vs. Dango 0
- appearance: Trayvax 1 vs. Dango 0
- minimalism: Trayvax 1 vs. Dango 0
- simplicity: Trayvax 1 vs. Dango 0
- price: Trayvax 0 vs. Dango 0
- patina: Trayvax 1 vs. Dango 0
- size: Trayvax 1 vs. Dango 0
Trayvax Contour: 6
Dango M1 Rail: 0
The horween leather on the trayvax patina's quite nicely actually.
@@erikkalifornia5182 I think so too. Corrected because of copy + paste. Question: Is "Robert California" your relative? 😁
@@petipetya Haha, not a relative, but he inspired the name! I was tired of my actual name being posted all over youtube and other google based sites, so I changed to kalifornia. My real last name starts with a K, and i was watching the office at the time of the name change. Voila!
Dude if you going travel on airplane you will have problems at the airport. Don’t take it with you.
