    What I like about Ridge

    The downsides

    The biggest issue is price-to-value. A basic aluminum Ridge is currently around $95, while titanium/carbon-fiber versions can be $150+. Ridge You can find perfectly good minimalist wallets for less.

    Also, the Ridge is not ideal if you carry lots of cash, receipts, coins, or many cards. It's really designed around carrying only the essentials.

    My verdict

    8.5/10 overall.

    I'd recommend Ridge if you want something slim, modern, durable, and premium. The $95 aluminum model is probably the sweet spot; I wouldn't pay $150+ for carbon fiber or titanium unless you particularly want those materials.

    If you're considering buying one, I can also compare Ridge vs. Ekster vs. Secrid vs. Dango and tell you which is the best value.
