a very good wallet, but not as good as the compact sport
October 29, 2017
First, remember that this is a Big Skinny wallet. the company makes GREAT products, and this one mostly does what it says it will, but i do have a few personal caveats. it holds a lot (bills and cards) and is super thin. i bought it to possibly replace my compact sport wallet, for my money the best product Big Skinny makes. I thought that the Curve wallet might be a better fit (i carry my wallet in a front pocket and the curved ends looked like a real plus).
the Curve, however, is longer than my compact sport wallet, so the curved ends don't really make it a better fit in my pocket. it takes up a bit more space than the compact sport, so there is no real advantage. and because of the longer length, the bill pocket is longer, which somehow doesn't keep bills as neatly nested in the bill compartment. it is more difficult to pull bills out and particularly to put bills in.
so, for me it is an ok wallet, a bit of a disappointment. but the compact sport wallet remains the BEST Big Skinny product (and BEST overall wallet) I've ever owned! i'm going to stay with the proven winner.
Pros
- big skinny makes great products; this will hold a ton of credit cards.
Cons
- longer than the compact sport wallet, so not as good as a front pocket fit. bills don't stay in place in the wallet as they do in the compact sport. it can be tough getting singular or two or three bills out and putting them in.
