My outdoor experience began in high school with a canoeing/camping group which made a 10-day voyage through the Quebec wilds. I've been backpacking since my college days in Pennsylvania. I have hiked all of the Appalachian Trail in Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina. My typical trip now is in the Sierra Nevada in California and is from a few days to a few weeks long. Over the past few years I have lowered my pack weight to a lightweight base weight of 15 lb (6.8 kg) and use a tent, stove and quilt.

FIELD USE
<<IMAGE GOES HERE. ALT TEXT = "IMAGE 3">>When I first saw this thin, light wallet I decided to retire my snack-sized zip-top bag version of a backpacking wallet. I was also interested in the design for everyday use since I don't like to carry a purse. I used to carry a small leather wallet in my hand. But my husband was always uncomfortable with my doing that with worries of my leaving it somewhere or having it stolen. It was too large for me to slip inside a pants pocket. So I bought an All-Ett sports wallet and have been happy that I did.The All-Ett sport wallet is made from durable, water-resistant, rip-stop nylon. There is one section for paper currency and then two compartments for credit cards, driver's license or other cards. Inside the openings for cards, there is a rubberized strip to help keep the cards from slipping out.<<IMAGE GOES HERE. ALT TEXT = "worn out" IMAGE CAPTION = "After 4 years">>I have used this wallet daily for the past 4 years until it finally wore out. It fits easily in pants pockets and I usually carry it in a front pocket of whatever pants I'm wearing for daily use. For work I slip the wallet inside a zippered pocket on my lunch box. For backpacking I carry it in a zippered pocket either on my pants leg or inside my backpack.I couldn't be happier with this wallet and wonder why everyone doesn't carry one as a primary wallet. It has just enough organization that works perfectly for me. I use mine for three debit/credit cards and a membership card on one side with a driver's license, insurance card, fishing license, government ID and library card on the other side. I could easily fit twice that many items if I needed to but the website states that it holds 10 cards which I agree would be a comfortable amount at a maximum.The only downside that I can note based on comparison to typical wallets is that there is no coin purse, key holder or separate area for photos. I'm not a fan of carrying those extra things anyway so I don't miss them much at all.
SUMMARY
The All-Ett sport wallet is such a simple yet functional wallet that I use it for everyday use. I wore the first one out after four years of daily use and bought the same model (in a different color) as a replacement.
THINGS I LIKE
Lightweight
Not bulky
Provides simple organization
Nice appearance
Durable
LESS THAN IDEAL
No secure pocket for coins or spare key
