The RFID wallet is one of the most basic and essential items a man carries. A wallet is the ideal place for coins, notes, cards and other everyday items, and it is practical to carry all day. Smartly designed, slim or ultra-slim wallets suit the practical, style-conscious man.
How does RFID technology work?
RFID stands for Radio-Frequency Identification. It allows information to be sent wirelessly using radio waves. There is a good chance you already carry a credit or debit card with an RFID chip or tag. Instead of swiping or inserting the card, you simply tap it against the reader to pay. These cards are often marked with a symbol of three or four curved lines that signifies a wireless signal.
When the chip comes close to a reader, the reader’s weak radio wave activates the chip, which then sends back the information. This is a quick, simple and efficient way to transfer data. It also means that, in theory, someone with a suitable reader could try to read a card from close range without you noticing, which is why some people prefer extra protection.
How do RFID blocking wallets help?
An RFID blocking wallet contains a lining that is designed to block or interfere with the radio waves, so the cards inside are harder to read while they are in the wallet. Keep your cards in the wallet when you are not using them, and take the card out to tap and pay as normal. Because the lining only matters when the card is inside, there is nothing extra to do. No wallet can promise complete protection, so keep an eye on your statements too.
Why choose a leather wallet?
Classic look
Leather wallets look smart and tend to develop character with use. They suit any occasion, from the office to the weekend, and a well-chosen design is a lasting accessory.
Strong and flexible
Leather is a flexible material that is known for being strong. A good leather wallet is made to cope with daily use, though how long it lasts depends on the quality and on how you care for it. Keep it away from prolonged moisture and direct heat.
Good for travelling
A compact wallet with several card slots makes it easier to organise cards while travelling, and a light design slips easily into a pocket. Professionals who carry business cards may also like a wallet with extra slots.
Choose your material
Some people prefer leather, others prefer vegan or carbon fibre style finishes. Check each product page for the stated material before ordering.
