The Ridge Aluminum Wallet in Royal Black or Gunmetal offers the best combination of affordability, durability, and classic styling. At $76 with Black Friday discounts, it's the perfect entry point into minimalist carry without compromising on quality or features.

The Built for Life Warranty covers the wallet mechanism, not superficial wear like scratches. Ridge wallets are designed for decades of use, and the company will repair or replace the mechanism if it fails through normal use. Thousands of customers report using their Ridge wallets for 5+ years with no functional issues.

Yes, though the method differs from traditional wallets. Ridge wallets include cash straps or money clips that hold folded bills against the outside of the wallet. Some users prefer the optional cash strap accessory, while others use the spring-steel money clip. The Biflex collection offers more traditional bill storage if you frequently carry cash.

Titanium and Damascus steel offer the highest durability, followed closely by carbon fiber and forged carbon. Aluminum provides excellent durability for the price. Leather offers different benefits—it's warm to the touch, develops patina, and feels premium, though it will show wear more visibly than metal options.

Yes. Metal Ridge wallets may trigger metal detectors, but they're not prohibited. Many frequent travelers actually prefer metal wallets because they're easy to spot in X-ray bins and won't get confused with others' items. The wallets are specifically designed for front-pocket carry, which makes them convenient for airport security.

Biflex wallets feature dual compartments—one for cards (using Ridge's signature mechanism) and one for cash and additional items. They're larger and softer than traditional Ridge wallets, making them ideal for those who need more capacity or aren't ready to fully embrace minimalist carry. Traditional Ridge wallets are more compact and rigid.

Ridge wallets work with standard credit card-sized cards (ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1 format). This includes credit cards, debit cards, driver's licenses, hotel key cards, transit cards, and most ID cards. They don't work well with oddly-shaped cards or items significantly thicker than standard cards.

Ridge offers several customization options: different cash strap colors, various money clip finishes, and AirTag attachments. Some special edition wallets can be engraved. The modular design means you can mix and match accessories to create your perfect setup.

The most popular combinations are wallet + KeyCase (Daily Driver Kit), wallet + KeyCase + pen (Daily Writer Kit), and for iPhone users, the Everyday Charging Kit.
