Ridge Portemonnaie

I bought my first Ridge Wallet around ten years ago and have been using it ever since. That alone says a lot about the durability and quality of the product — genuinely impressive longevity.

Because I’ve been so happy with my original Ridge, I recently decided to get the Basecamp Orange version simply because I wanted a fresh color. The wallet itself feels as solid and well made as expected, and I really like the orange finish.

The only reason I’m giving it four rather than five stars is the cash strap. My previous Ridge had the money clip, and I personally find that solution much more convenient and intuitive in everyday use. The cash strap works, but for me it’s simply not as practical.

I’ll probably order the money clip separately and add it to this wallet. Apart from that, I’m very happy with the Basecamp Orange — and after roughly a decade with my first Ridge Wallet, I can definitely vouch for the long-term quality.
