Filson Bridle Leather Passport Wallet

The idea of a passport wallet or travel wallet is to replace your traditional wallet. Most of us do not carry oversized velcro wallets, so why switch downgrade when you switch to a passport wallet.

I use my passport holder at home and abroad. Filson is a long-established brand that began outfitting prospectors in Alaska. Now it’s a modern brand with a wide range of high-quality, rugged products. I love this wallet as it feels rugged from stiff leather but not bulky, allowing it to fit in a pocket.

It has a section for your passport; then the opposite is two holds for cards and a large pocket to store boarding passes or some cash. This travel wallet should get you through a lifetime of travel.

Retailing for less than $15, with dimensions of 7.5 x 5 x 1 inch and weighing less than 4 ounces, the Zoppen gets good marks for value, size, and storage capacity. Due to its RFID blocking shield, e-thieves won’t have any luck sucking the data from your phone or credit cards either, and will likely move on to easier targets. Constructed in an ergonomic tri-fold configuration, the wallet has a dedicated passport pocket, three credit card slots, a zippered pouch that fits US dollars, and a cell phone pouch that will accommodate phones up to 5.8 inches.

The company’s return policy is easy, and 85% of Amazon reviewers gave the wallet 4 or 5 stars, especially because of its vintage look, efficient design, and the 35 colors they could choose from. Those users who rated it three stars or less claimed that the cover wore prematurely and that there weren’t sufficient credit card slots.

Michael Kors Jet Set Passport Case

For the stylish woman traveler, this Michael Kors passport wallet is exactly what you want. This wallet is small and discreet enough to stash away in your purse, and conveniently holds one passport and a few credit cards. The snap clasp does a good job at containing your valuables.

For the designer lover, this Michael Kors passport case is beautiful, strong, and functional. It’s a great-sized passport wallet, but it’s obviously not unisex and doesn’t offer many features for the price.

---

Saddleback Passport Leather Wallet

We love Saddleback Leather products and have had them for years now. Along with their gorgeous original leather backpacks they make wonderful leather products that are made in the USA with thick supple leather.

The wallet is a long holder and no passport will fit perfectly in your pants pocket, but the slim passport wallet does fit in most pockets. Most surprising is that Saddleback has managed to implement an RFID shield in this wallet made from full-grain boot leather. High-quality materials used in the travel wallet receive support from a 100-year warranty from Saddleback, this wallet should last a lifetime. I love the rugged leather passport wallet so this is my daily carry.

We have a serious love for Fjallraven and their G-1000 canvas material so a passport wallet that implements the material is wonderful. This wallet can store your tickets, boarding passes, a notepad, pen, passports, cash, headphones, and credit cards.

On the exterior of the passport wallet is a pocket that’s perfect to hold your boarding pass or train ticket for quick access.

Fjallraven delivers a really quality product with heavy canvas accented by leather.

---

Travelambo Passport Wallet

With nearly 50 colors from which to choose Travelambo’s design is definitely geared toward the ladies, as it looks more like a purse than a wallet. Made of water-resistant polyurethane, it’s durable, fashionable, and includes everything you’d expect, such as slots for passport, cash, and credit cards and a cellphone compartment that can handle phones up to 5.8 inches.

It comes with a one-year warranty too, and at 7.4 x 4.5 x 1 inches and less than two ounces, it’s a bit more compact than some of the others, but should be sufficient unless you’re still hoarding stacks of coupons from the ’90s. 85% of reviewers gave it 4 or 5 stars, specifically mentioning its cool colors and lightweight construction.

Considerations When Shopping

---

Convenience

They make passport holders in all shapes and sizes. Some wallets are big and bulky, while others are small and lightweight. It’s important to identify if it’s convenient for you and your needs.

For women, that may mean it fits easily inside a purse or backpack and holds a phone. At the same time, men or those who wish to carry their wallet in the pocket should opt for a slim passport wallet.

The convenience of a wallet will vary from traveler to traveler, so it is important to identify how you will carry the wallet.

---

Compartments

Some of the best passport wallets only hold a passport. Some come with credit card slots and change purses, while others can hold pens and USB sticks inside them.

Make sure you get one to hold all that you need. If you opt for a wallet with compartments, it’s best to choose one with zips that will separate items. This is also better for hiding valuables when you open your wallet to pay.

---

Style

For many people, style is an important aspect when traveling. It wouldn’t fit a business traveler, honeymooner, or fashionista to pull out some ugly neck wallet to pay for their bill. I chose to carry everything slim and in my front pocket these days. Leather or a uniform material on the front is a timeless look.

---

Durability

When you’re traveling, you want something durable and going to hold up through all your trips. Why spend money on something that won’t last? The materials used in the construction and design of your wallet should be of high quality.

Look for materials such as canvas, ripstop high-denier nylon, or leather. All of those materials will hold up to extended use and protect your most valuable travel document, your passport.

---

Visibility

Is the wallet easy to conceal when full of all your items, or does it stick out like a sore thumb? If you’re traveling in a less developed nation, consider a low-key wallet made from heavy nylon or canvas.

A wallet that attracts attention will catch the eye of opportunistic thieves. In regards to theft deterrence, it also helps to separate valuables. A wallet that holds your phone, passport, and cash may seem like a good idea, but in one quick grab, a thief could have it all.

---

Price

This one is a no-brainer. We all want to get good value for any passport wallet. There are a wide variety of price points, and I always value quality over price. Everyone has a different threshold, and we’ve bought cheap products that last for years while others last for months.

---

Warranty and Return Policy

Is the product’s quality backed up with a warranty and an acceptable return policy?

---

RFID blocking technology:

You’re going to see this acronym thrown around a lot in this post. RFID stands for Radio-frequency identification. RFID tags use electromagnetic fields to identify and track store your information. It’s a new feature utilized in a lot of new credit cards and passports.

Long gone are the days of actually stealing a credit card. Thieves can now use this technology against you to steal all your information. Thankfully, many passport wallets have RFID blocking technology to discourage this.

I should also add the RFID does not work with chip cards. So in many places the concept of copying a cards data is already dated.

Tips on Passport Wallets

---

Destination

If you’re traveling to a developing nation or where petty theft is common, I would think twice about passport wallets. You don’t want something that has a designer name embossed on the front. This is why some of my favorites are solid color or simple leather wallets.

---

Forget Cheesy Wallets

I know many people like the neck wallets and belts, but they’re often a dead giveaway to skilled pickpockets. They know you have valuables in there, and it gives off the idea of a bumbling tourist.

The pickpockets of Europe are quite skilled and in the major touristic cities work in teams to remove the “security” wallet from you.

---

Placement in Bags

If you opt for a large travel wallet or clutch, think about where you place it in your purse or backpack. They should never be stored in easy-to-access exterior pockets. I’d rather have to dig for my wallet than have a thief steal my valuables.

Also, I always keep the bag against me when in public. This means when I sit the backpack between my legs or against my side in a seat.

---

Front Pocket

If the wallet is slim like many of the options, I keep my passport wallet in my front pocket. This is a tough grab for pickpockets, and when in crowds, my hand instinctively sits over the pocket. The key here is that a thief always looks for the easiest opportunity, and simple decisions can make theft more difficult.

---

Passport

I like to keep my passport and cash/cards together as I don’t stand a chance of losing either. It’s always easier to remember one item rather than two.

---

Money Clip or Coin Purse

It’s not always a good idea to reach for your wallet in public. This is especially true in busy environments in developing nations, such as a local market. We carry a small money clip or coin purse with small denominations of the local currency for scenarios like that.
