I've had an old leather wallet for 7-8 years. I didn't need a new wallet, but wanted one. I thought going to a textile wallet may be the way to go, so I'm giving this a try. I'm not a "tactical" person or "gun guy" (even though I own guns), but "tactical" stuff seems to just be made VERY well. I have a cool "tactical" belt I use everyday and doesn't go off with metal detectors, and I have a bunch of bike stuff made of cordura. I just like this stuff.<br /><br />I made a joke that now that I have this wallet, I can do some "tactical" spending - because I'm not sure how the word tactical applies to a wallet... anyway...<br /><br />First impressions is this wallet is made well. I am not having the issues with card fitment that others are talking about. I feel a little juvenile that I have a 2 second sound of velcro ripping away when I need to get something out of my wallet, but that just may be me. BTW, how tactical is making a bunch of velcro noise? I would argue that would blow your cover. I carry nine cards and a small stack of business cards with me, and it's fine in terms of not being incredibly fat. I like that fact that it does have a loop in case you want to add a carabiner so you don't lose it - and even though I make fun of the velcro, it's great, because if it does fall out of your pocket, a bunch of stuff won't fall out - I had that issue with my old traditional leather wallet. Oh yes, I keep two handwritten notes with me from my step-son and my wife - still, not too fat as to complain about it. There is a little zip pocket where I keep a spare house key - that is awesome. So yeah - I guess this thing does hold a lot - and still... not so fat I can complain.<br /><br />I agree that the SD card slots are unnecessary, especially when you have the cloud/smart phones to store things on now. It did slip out of my back pocket once, but that may be more an issue with the jeans I was wearing (DansComp BMX jeans).<br /><br />I personally like functional stuff - and this is a functional wallet. It carries everything I need, and seems well built. I am curious to see if it holds up for 7-8-9 years like my old Swiss leather wallet did, tho.
