Innate Portal RFID Blocking Billfold

Multiple security stops (and the need to manage important bits of paper) make a specialized wallet an absolute must for today’s traveler. Most travel wallets are about the size of a standard piece of paper folded in half the long way, but for those seeking a smaller form factor, Innate’s got a great option.

The Innate Portal RFID Blocking Billfold takes that extended length seen in traditional travel wallets and folds it in half to make it fit in a back pocket. The external material, a rubbery, black waterproof fabric (repurposed trimmings from the manufacture of other Innate products) provides RFID shielding to protect against identity theft.

Inside the  Innate Portal RFID Blocking Billfold, a single pocket is large enough to accommodate airport boarding passes and a few singles for tips. A clear pouch put my passport at finger’s reach for a quick border crossing to Canada in Blaine,WA, while twin card-sized slots held my driver’s license and Trusted Traveler ID.

There’s also a single flapped/secure pocket inside for odds and ends. Welded seams further streamline this wallet, making it slim and compact.

Bottom line: This is a high-quality piece that’s whisper-light and wafer thin.
