Perfect!
This is perfect! It has little pockets and it’s small but carries a lot! Great quality! I highly recommend this for traveling or anytime!

Safe, convenient, the new wallet replacement!
Great lightweight item, especially for young men. This is so easy to carry, it has the two zippers where you can keep cash in one and important cards in the other. Girls usually have a purse for keys, cards, cash and other items but for boys this can attach to your key and you have everything you need to just slip in your pocket. My grandson gave me a five star rating on my selection. It is also nice that it comes in so many colors. This will definitely be a go.to for gifts in the future.

Great for everyday carry!
I'm a backpacker, so I've gotten used to having emergency items for everyday carry. I bought this to put some first aid and "survival" supplies in my back pocket. It has two zippered compartments, a canvass slot on one side, and a clear plastic ID card holder on the other side. You could certainly use it as a wallet if you wanted. It's not an Altoids survival tin (I keep a small multitool, lighter, and flashlight in my other pockets anyway), but it does hold quite a bit. I find it's big enough to hold what I need without being too bulky in my back pocket. Now I'm prepared for a zombie apocalypse - or at least a minor medical emergency. It's a great product - very well-made and compact. I recommend it.

Great little wallet
Great quality, couple good pockets, items are easy to get in and out of. I even have an air tag on a little rubber key chain in it. Very slim, no added bulk from the wallet itself.

Before and after 2.5 years of use
I'm replacing my first Chums Surfshorts wallet after about 2.5 years. It's been an everyday wallet and a travel wallet and thoroughly used (but not abused). You can see a new one on top and the old one under it.Pros+ Thin and lightweight - This one replaced a slim nylon billfold so I could easily put bills and a few coins in the zippered pocket. It works great for that and I fold some bills (about 6 or 7) and place them in the rear pocket. If you slimmed down to 1-2 cards and a couple of bills, this is easily among the lightest wallets available.+ Fabric quality is great. No tears or issues. You can see the old one is hardly worse for wear after 2.5 years.+ I can get about 7 to 8 cards comfortably in the wallet and I use the divider to separate a license and insurance cards from credit cards.+ The key ring gives you flexibility - whether you're attaching it to keys or want to tether it inside a bag to a key leash, put it on a lanyard or run some kind of security cord to your belt, it's strong enough for average use and the thick grosgrain loop hasn't showed any signs of tearing. I have removed the ring but ended up wanting it back and put it back on - no issues at all.+ The current price for this wallet is pretty nice, given the functionality.+ Colors range from low key (I also picked up the black and grey one - I like it best) to obnoxiously bright. And you might actually want a bright colorway if you don't want to easily lose or forget it.Cons- The zippers: The back zipper is totally fine, but a coil broke on the front ID/card pocket zipper. The wallet is effectively done at this point. I wasn't able to bend the coil back or get the slider back on and the effort to fix it would have been more than the price of a new wallet. This zipper saw tons of everyday use. This could have been a one-off issue. I'll have to see how the new wallet does.Other thoughts* This is NOT a waterproof wallet. It's durable and would dry quickly but the contents inside are going to get wet if you immerse it in water.* This is NOT RFID protective. Slip it inside an RFID protective pouch, money belt, or bag pocket if that's important to you.Four stars - It's a fantastic value for money. But I need to see if my first wallet's zipper failure was a one-off or whether it fails again after a couple of years.

Light, but with capacity. Modified to make it smaller
I love the bag design. I can keep everything inside without fear of it falling out. It's a bit wider and taller than credit cards, which gives you some slack to open it and get your fingers around something inside. It's also just tall enough to fit US bills folded in half. Super thin and small when you don't pack it, but I'm sure you could fit a lot inside.Personally I think the plastic id slot is pretty useless (with all wallets not just this one), and I want to be as minimal as possible. I was able to cut out the platic piece since it's sewed separately, and cut off the key ring fabric, which has made it even lighter and thinner.I'd love to see them make a version that's basically just a bag of the same size, but only one zipper on top and a divider in the middle. Having two zippers 1. adds some buik and 2. isn't that useful. Sometimes you open the wrong one, then have to zip it back, flip it over, and then unzip that. Do one zipper, and put a very short fabric loop off the side for a key right and it would be perfect.

Has lasted years.
I've been using this wallet for almost 4 years. I don't carry a purse, but instead keep a chained wallet in my pocket. The keyring allows me to chain my wallet to my belt loop, so I don't have to worry about losing my wallet, or it being pick-pocketed. Two zippered pockets are the perfect size for plenty cards without being thick, and the slip pocket it great for that emergency $20. The wallet & stitching has held up, with no rips, tears, or breakage. I thoroughly recommend.

Travel wallet!
Fantastic wallet for what I need. I had been using a thread elastic wallet as I rarely have anything but cards but when traveling abroad I pick up lots of coins so needed one with a zipper. Very compact even when filled. My full keys are attached to the loop so I haven't used that pocket for anything I imagine I'll probably end up stuffing receipts in it if anything. Only had for a few weeks so cannot speak to the longevity of it yet but it works and looks great so far
