The title says it all... You can fill this wallet with cards etc and it still does not feel bulky in your back pocket. Prior to this wallet I had a Timberland (zip around) and it was still bulky. Great design would definitely purchase again.

I bought this Victorinox wallet for my fiancé to replace his old one (same brand, same type), which he had been using for so long the zipper was starting to go. I think he'd had the old one for about 10 years, so that should give you some indication of just how durable these wallets are! The zip-around feature means you don't lose slips of paper, the slide-out plastic ID tray is very convenient, and he was pleased to discover that there are more credit card slots in this newer design--as many as are in a standard leather tri-fold wallet--but that hasn't added any bulk to this wallet. It is still very slim and fits easily and comfortably in his pocket. I will definitely buy another one in 10 years or so when this one needs replacing.

It's flat, secure and attractive.
I purchased this as a gift for my significant other and he loves it. When he has it in his pocket, it's invisible.
The sturdy zipper keeps everything inside. The wallet has a slim profile so that you can carry what you need without the bulk and not have to worry it will fall apart. The smooth, ribbed material on the outside looks and feels nice in the hands as well. I especially like the tabbed cardholder for an ID that makes it easy to pull out.
Great overall and I would purchase for myself.

Many teens and college students carry this type wallet. A good friend of mine needed a new wallet and I bought this as a Christmas present. He loved it. He immediately took all the "stuff" guys have to carry around these days out of his old leather wallet and put it in this zip around wallet. Threw it in the air, caught it and opened it up. Everything still in place. How many times have you dropped your wallet or turned it the wrong way and had all the membership cards, grocery cards, etc. fall to the floor. Highly recommend as a gift for a college or high school guy, or a second wallet for the older amongst us.

It's unbelievable that a wallet could be both at the same time. In the "too big" case, its almost twice as big and just as fat as my old trifold with the same amount of stuff in it. In the "too small" case, I can barely fit my bills in it. Another annoyance is they put a mesh where my ID would go. What is the point in that? I have to pull it out anyway to show it because the ID cannot be read through the mesh.

On the plus side the zipper does seem to hold up very well and that is the only reason why I haven't chucked this expensive wallet.

UPDATE: It has been two years since I bought this thing and the zipper finally gave out. Bad wallet. Now I can buy another one.

I really liked this wallet. My previous wallet was thick and my credit cards would sometimes fall out. I purchased this and transferred items from my old wallet to this one. The size was cut in half. Amazing, how the same amount of contents would take up half the amount of space.
The zipper that goes around it keeps everything secure.

I bought this wallet for my husband for Christmas. I was looking for a lightweight, heavy duty zippered wallet. He is a heavy duty equipment mechanic and needs a wallet that will repel grease and dirt, and so far this wallet is keeping true to it's promise. I am so glad I bought this for him.

Nice wallet...but who are they kidding? The bill compartment is even too small for US dollars. The zipper would cut into the bills every time I wanted to close the wallet.

Great wallet if you live in the US or with a country that has small paper currency. I have to fold the bills when I go to Japan or Korea. The double compartment for the currency is not tall enough. Other than that it is a great durable wallet.

I purchased the based on the positive reviews but was very disappointed with this product. Especially from a company that makes an excellent product such as their pocket tools range. The wallet is just too small and does not hold your currency properly. In all fairness they did say LIGHTWEIGHT TRAVEL WALLET and they meant it, hence only three slots for your cards. If you are looking for an everyday wallet this is not for you. On the positive side the build quality seems solid.
