These RIDGE WALLET ALTERNATIVES are Half the Price

Рет қаралды 157,375

Күн бұрын

The Ridge makes high-quality wallets that command stratospheric prices. They also have an impressive marketing department that has managed to grow the Ridge brand into a designer accessory. But is it worth the price?
In this video, I look at 7 Ridge wallet alternatives that stand up to the hype and give the Ridge a run for its money (so to speak) without breaking the bank.
I have personally tested every one of the wallets in this video. Some of them are direct knock -offs of the Ridge while others have similar designs that manage cards in their own specific way. If you admire the Ridge but are looking for something more affordable, you might find a wallet in this video that will be perfect for your needs.

Aviator - with the thumb slot u can slide down one card at a time after u had all of the cards pulled with the pull tab .. 👍🏼 allowing u to check which one u need . Unless u have 12 cards there should be pretty fast + if u are a little organized u will with time memorize which card goes where in the pile of the cards . So u can slide down 2 cards if u need to use the third for example

Sadly, I've been looking for a slimmer wallet. Mine looks like that phone book that George Castanza uses in the sitcom Seinfeld. When I first saw/heard about the Edge a few years ago I was excited, but these things seem little more than card holders with money clips. And, I get it, they are stylish and they probably work pretty well for those looking for card holder/money clip combos, but there's a reason why wallets exist. Hmm, I guess I'll stick with my large, leather phone book for now.

You say they are "variations on the ridge" as if ridge were the first of it's kind... They just copied earlier designs of minimal wallets with slight variations in materials or details. The ridge doesn't appeal to me partly because of that fact, but I also prefer wallets that cards go in and come out on the short side. Frankly, It's aggressive marketing making these seem popular, but I do not know one single person who has one. Including myself. I've been using minimal wallets for at least 20 years now and I own and have tried a pretty big number of minimal wallets. Currently, I'm using the Modern Carry leather card sleeve. THIS is a true minimal wallet and under 10$. You could make your own for practically nothing. New wallet companies are popping up all over with the exact same designs (metal box with a lever on the bottom holding 5 cards). Those have also been around for well over a decade and the one you showed here is probably the worst iteration I have seen to date. I have no idea why it is SO long... I have a couple that are just barely longer than the elastic band type minimal wallets (barely longer than the cards themselves). The first one of this type that I am aware of was the Secrid wallet kickstarter, although I'm not sure they still exist. Of this type currently available I would recommend the Bando wallet... They have launched several successful kickstarters. Their products are priced well and function properly.

I don't mind paying $30 for the RossM instead of $130 for the Ridge. People who have bought the Ridge will always try to defend the price with "Oh well it has a lifetime warranty". Please tell me what is going to fail on your two pieces of aluminium? The lifetime warranty is a scam that is just used as a selling point for gullible customers. The warranty doesn't even cover the band which is the only thing I can see failing. The RossM also comes with a spare band in the box as well as both the cash strap and the cash clip.

Two years ago, I paid $120 for Ridge, and USPS never delivered it to me. After hours of waiting on the phone line, I gave up trying to contact USPS. When I sent an email to Ridge, they simply didn't care. Then I bought the cheapest one on Amazon and I'm still happy with it. AVOID RIDGE!

Sorry for your bad experience. Personally, I've only had good experiences with Ridge in terms of service. And I think they make a great wallet. My only beef is the astronomical prices they charge for them.

@@WalletSurfer Thanks for your reply. You are right, but when you pay an astronomical price, you expect better treatment if something goes wrong. At least better than "f... off, we've got your money and we don't care anymore". I paid the astronomical price to Ridge, then Ridge saved by paying the lowest possible price to USPS and denied any responsibility for transport issues. Don't you see something wrong here?

Which wallet on Amazon did you get?

@@hepgeoff I ordered 6 different models from various producers, in range $8-15, just to test them. And all of them are perfect and I gave some of them to my friends as presents. I've tried to list them here, but every time KZfaq deletes my message automatically, as it looks like the junk ad.
