Raise Your Everyday-Carry Game with One of Our Favorite Tactical Wallets
An essential everyday-carry item, tactical wallets are designed to store your cards (and cash) in a cool and minimalist fashion.
But our favorite wallets go beyond just carrying your money. Thank multi-tools to get mundane tasks done easier and RFID-blocking tech to protect your credit card and personal information. What's RFID, you ask? An abbreviation for radio-frequency identification, RFID technology is commonly used to store information in credit and identification cards. It’s important to keep it safe, because it’s a frequent target of identity thieves.
Check out the top tactical wallets worthy of a spot in your pocket.
