A lightweight pocket-sized zippered wallet with key chain for folks on the go.

I love this handy, charming little wallet! It’s compact, with a divided main pocket featuring an I.D. window and a place to stash some cash. On the other side of the wallet there’s another zippered sleeve for my cards. I only carry a few, so the Chums Surfshorts Wallet is just the right size for me. 

Colorful & Packable

Made out of tough but lightweight nylon, the Chums Surfshorts Wallet won me over with its bright two- and three-color design and versatile key chain (I use it for my house keys, which tuck into their own sleeve, and sometimes attach it to a neck lanyard when I don’t have pockets). I didn’t even discover the second zippered pocket until I’d been using it for a couple of days. It’s like a secret pocket for my cards.

It’s nice to have that little bit of organization so I can quickly access what I need. The Chums Surfshorts Wallet easily fits into my pants and jacket pockets. I’ve also used it in my swim buoy (which doesn’t leak but does get damp after a long swim) when swimming in the lake, and the water-resistant material keeps everything inside dry. 

I’ve only had a few days to use this wallet for walking, swimming, and running errands around town. I like that its small enough to put in my pocket and that the key ring allows me to attach it to lanyards in my tote bag and mini day pack. The rip-stop fabric seems quite durable, but I’ll report back in a few weeks if any elements don’t hold up. Waterproof zippers would have been nice on this wallet, but so far so good with the regular zippers.

Bottom Line

If I was going to throw a party with gift bags, I would definitely put putting a Chums Surfshorts Wallet in every one.
