A slim lightweight reversible zippered wallet for traveling light.
The Chums Reverse-Wallet is made out of tough nylon material with tight sleeve-style pockets in contrasting colors and patterns. The wallet’s zipper wraps around three sides, with two reversible zipper heads (each with a zipper pull for ease of use).
A Model of Minimalism
Inside the wallet there is a flat sleeve on one side and two stacked flat sleeves on the other side (the top sleeve of the two is clear plastic). I put my I.D. in the clear sleeve and my credit card in the bottom sleeve. On the other side, I put my health insurance card and two other cards. It’s a very tight fit: this is a wallet for traveling light. There are flat, tight sleeves on the front and back of the wallet, too, for cash.
The Chums Reverse-Wallet is a bit too long to put in my pants pocket, but it easily fits into all my jacket pockets and into my tote bag and mini daypack pouches.
I like the Chums Reverse-Wallet’s clam shell opening, and I often stash loose receipts into the main compartment. If I wanted to reverse the wallet I could do that and have the I.D. and cards on the outside. This would be a handy option for people who need to show their ID often.

Bottom Line
There might be a short learning curve with this wallet because it’s slim, flat pockets are so snug, but it is quite a handy wallet for active people. Durable and extremely lightweight, it is ideal for keeping my essential cards and a few bills secure and handy.
