The Skinny on Travel Wallets

The best way to carry your valuables when traveling is quietly. Keeping your passport, money, credit cards and other über important belongings in an over-the-clothes money belt or — gasp! — fannypack is anything but quiet. These methods offer two important pieces of information to would-be thieves: You are a tourist and this is where you keep your valuables.

 

When carried in the front pocket, a discrete travel wallet is a much more practical and secure alternative. Designed specifically for the intelligent jetsetter, Big Skinny’s travel wallets offer an innovative, ultra-thin design with convenient, travel-friendly storage compartments. Most importantly, the wallet’s remarkable thinness lends itself to comfortable, secure front-pocket carrying.

 

Claiming to be the makers of the “world’s thinnest wallets,” Big Skinny manufacturers their travel wallets using a durable, water-resistant and ultra-thin nylon microfiber material, making a full wallet 50 percent to 70 percent thinner than a full leather wallet. To offer you an idea, the company’s Traveler Wallet is only 4 millimeters thick when empty. In addition, Big Skinny travel wallets are intelligently configured to maintain the super-skinny figure when carrying travel-related valuables.

 

The Big Skinny Traveler Wallet features four extra-wide pockets to hold up to four credit cards, two clear ID pockets, a deep money compartment for large international notes, an additional deep billfold for everyday use and a passport storage compartment. In all, the Traveler Wallet can hold up to 20 cards and four passports. There’s no reason to bring your sub sandwich punch card when traveling, but you could.

 

Priced at $25.95, the bi-fold wallet measures 4.5 inches by 5.5 inches, and its intelligent design keeps the wallet comfortably and securely flush against your leg.

 

When it comes to travel, practical security is an important consideration. Offering a design ideal for front-pocket carrying and storing valuable travel items, Big Skinny travel wallets are an excellent choice for intelligent, safe travel. Visit BigSkinny.net to learn more.
