Perfect European travel wallet
September 13, 2015
I bought this to use on a recent trip -- five European countries with many currencies of different sizes, and coins as well. The zippered pocket worked like a champ for this, and kept relatively flat despite being filled. The wallet itself is wider than usual, but still fit easily in my jeans, shorts, khakis, etc. as well my front pocket when pickpocket deterrence was advised. Given the wallet's shape, there is less overlap among the cards I carried, so the net effect was to be slightly thinner overall than the Mini Skinny, my current favorite.
Time will tell on durability, but I have every reason to expect the best, given my experience with the Mini Skinny. Highly recommended, for both at home and abroad!
Pros
- Flatter overall in practice then other wallets, given proportions
- Zippered pocket for coins is terrific in Euro zone and Europe generally, given 1 & 2 denominations coins. Probably true for Canada as well.
