Dango Slim Minimalist Wallet for Men - RFID Blocking - All-Metal, Satin Silver

I’d been considering a “minimalist wallet” for almost six months, but I just couldn’t break away from my good old fat leather bifold stuffed with every card imaginable. The change came on a recent trip when I thought I’d lost my wallet and started thinking how EVERYTHING was in it. While I fortunately found the wallet in our hotel room, I immediately got online and refreshed my research efforts on finding the “right” minimalist wallet for me and opted for the Dango M1 Maverick Rail wallet.There are so many options for these modern thin wallets and the Ridge wallet appears to be the biggest seller (or the one spending the most money on advertising). Regardless of what I was looking at, I kept going back to the Dango brand as I really liked variety, unique design, overall functionality, and look. Another thing about the Dango line of wallets is that I REALLY liked is the paracord carabiner tether that most of their wallets were designed to accommodate. This was a big seller to me because the size and heft of my old leather wallet was so easy to detect in my front pocket … until I thought I lost it. If I was going to use a “barely there” minimalist wallet, I still needed the added confidence of knowing I wouldn’t lose it, so the tether accessory had me sold on Dango.I chose the M1 Maverick Rail model primarily because it was heavily discounted (the M1 R-SPEC model was my first choice simply because I loved the red metal and carbon fiber design). I knew this was a quality product when I saw the packaging. The wallet is nestled in a metal tin with a card that details the wallet and how it functions and a braided paracord that can be attached. The wallet itself is extremely rugged and is constructed with aircraft grade aluminum (heavy duty protection without the heft). There are 4 openings built into the wallet frame (2 at the top of each side and 2 at the bottom) to accommodate the paracord braid (or a separately sold tether).This wallet can handle storing at least 9 cards … 5 on one side and 4 on the other. The rubber cash strap that wraps around one side can be used to hold more cards if necessary. One side of the wallet is open and offers no RFID protection. The other side has an aluminum slide that covers the cards for RFID protection. Even with 9 cards and folded currency, this wallet remains quite thin. I had to get used to the aluminum slide mechanism, but the cutaway on the slide is designed to make pushing the slide a smooth process.I highly recommend getting the carabiner tether. It is 10” long and can easily anchor your wallet by somewhat discreetly connecting to a belt loop. With the tether, my wallet is always attached to me, so I don’t have to worry about accidentally leaving it anywhere or dropping it.Overall, I love every facet of this wallet. Rugged without being heavy, secure/protective, appealing look, decent card capacity without adding thickness and thoughtfully designed functionality. I like that you can add the tether and they even sell an add-on multitool that fits this wallet design. While I chose the M1 Maverick, Dango offers a multitude of other unique wallet styles that incorporate the same modern functionality of the M1 Maverick. High quality and American made.

Best wallet I've ever owned. I've tried other minimalist wallets made by competitors and this was my first attempt at trying a Dango product. Definitely was not disappointed. It is slightly heavier than other wallets but it doesn't bother me in the slightest (I'm talking like maybe an oz or two heavier if that). The build quality is fantastic, the rail concept is amazing and makes my life significantly easier. If you need constant access to one specific card, or need to come and go through a gate/security door/etc that has a card scanner, try this out and you won't regret it. Additionally, they advertise that you can only fit 9 cards in the wallet, however I can easily fit 10 total (4 in the rail, 6 under the plate) and nothing comes loose. My wallet lives on my desk while I'm at work and I've received a dozen or more compliments and inquiries from people walking by about the look and functionality of it. Overall, extremely impressed.Update: Been using it for about a month and everything is still fantastic. I carry about 6 cash bills folded up in thirds under the silicone strap and it's held up perfectly so far. I've tried the Ridge, the Fantom, a few Trayvax wallets, and some other generic names over the years and this is still by far the best.Update 2: It's been just under a year and through all these months of abuse while hiking, dropping it on hard surfaces, etc. it's still in outstanding condition and I wouldn't want any other wallet. 11 out 10 stars.

Perfect size and good quality.

This company keeps coming out with more and more amazing products. Each time I get my hands on one of their new products I'm so impressed with the craftsmanship and design.I love how most of their wallets are modular & customizable. For example you can unscrew the leather parts on the M1 series to spice up a new look, and now with this new update you can utilize the new "Rail System". The rail system is really nice to use. The cards satisfyingly click into place, and are a breeze to deploy when needed. They fit secure and I doubt there much likelihood of them falling out. Another benefit of this new rail design is the durability. It's all aluminum so it wont deteriorate like leather, etc.This wallet is also RFID blocking on its backside when you put the cards behind the metal guard. So be aware that if you put a key card scanner for a door behind this, it will not work to buzz you into buildings because it will be blocked. You simply need to place it on the outside of the metal, or in the adjacent side where the rail system is.I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a durable stylish wallet. It's worth every penny.
