ALPAKAZip Pouch - Dark Green X-Pac RFID-Blocking Cash and Card Wallet - Made with Carbon Neutral and Weatherproof Fabrics, YKK Zipper for Men

I recently purchased this minimalist wallet, and I’m extremely pleased with its quality and functionality. Here’s why:Waterproof Zipper: The wallet features a waterproof zipper, which is a fantastic addition. I’ve accidentally spilled water on it a couple of times, and my cards and cash remained completely dry. It’s a small detail, but it makes a big difference.Durability: The wallet feels incredibly sturdy. The materials used are top-notch, and I can tell it’s built to last. I’ve been using it daily for several months now, and there’s no sign of wear or tear.Stitching: The stitching is impeccable. Even under close inspection, I couldn’t find any loose threads or uneven seams. It’s clear that the manufacturer paid attention to detail.Minimalist Size: As someone who prefers a slim and compact wallet, this one is perfect. It comfortably holds my essential cards (credit cards, ID, and a couple of loyalty cards) without adding bulk to my pocket.Overall, I highly recommend this wallet to anyone looking for a sleek, durable, and waterproof option. It’s a great investment for minimalists or anyone who wants a reliable everyday wallet.

The pouch is sized well to carry cards and other small items. The main zip pocket has bright lining, which makes it easier to see, and is divided into two sections, which is extremely useful for separating, say, cards from cash, if you choose to use this in place of a wallet. Cards slip in relatively easily if you angle the cards before inserting them. You can fit an airpods 3 case inside the main zip pocket and still be able to zip it shut while having the pouch bulge a little, but not likely anything thicker or larger than that. The front zip pocket is small and does not expand, so it's good for very small or flat things, such as dongles or coins. The material of the pouch is very durable and waterproof. Both zippers have aquaguard, which helps with keeping water out. The zippers have little pulls, which allows for easy grasping. There is a small piece of fabric on one side that you can use to clip a thin carabiner or keychain loop through, though I believe it's designed mainly to be compatible with their Hub Keychain.All in all, a solid pouch.

Well made, the quality is definitely there.Can be carried in the back pocket, but it’s a little too long for back pocket carry for my taste, it doesn’t stick out of pocket, but just a little tall for my preference. I mainly got it to carry in my front pocket anyway, the RFID protection is nice. I carry about 10 cards and 10-15 folded bills and it’s still very thin for front pocket carry. The zippers with the water shield is a nice touch too. Might keep contents dry if we ride water rides at Disney lolWell worth the price.

I own other Alpaka products, including their Elements Tech Brief Pro, so when it came to my next wallet, I looked at the options they had.They have a variety of wallets from card sleeves/wallets to more traditional bi-folds and zippered options.Ultimately, I landed on the Zip Pouch in Dark Green X-Pac:- The color gives just a little bit of "pop" without being too bright (compared to other options they have)- The interior orange definitely pops (and makes it easier to see what's inside)- While this is still a nylon-based, zippered wallet, the design, materials, and hardware give the Zip Pouch a more premium feel- Further, I was replacing my Chums Surfshorts Wallet (which I love - I've owned several). I wanted something slightly more "upscale" without going to leather (which tends to be too thick).Size-wise, this is bigger than the Chums Surfshorts (see photos). Width-wise it's the same as the two hpones I carry: iPhone 15 (see photos) or Galaxy S21 Ultra, and shorter than both. It stays relatively flat and I find it pocketable. The availability of the small zippered pocket and sectioned main pocket are perfect for me. Given the length and zipper size, it's easy to get cards in and out - same for cash (I fold bills in half).I've cycled through different types of wallets over the years - fabric, leather, hard-sided - from minimal options to more traditional options. Currently, the Alpaka Zip Pouch fits my needs perfectly of being able to carry my IDs and CCs (4 total), a few knickknacks, coffee shop punch card, and some cash without feeling overloaded.

I’ve been using this wallet for a while now and I’m really happy with it overall.Pros:• The build quality is excellent. It feels very sturdy and well made.• The zipper has a sealed seam, which seems to make it water-resistant—great for daily use.• It can easily hold 20+ credit cards, which is perfect if you carry a lot.• You can also fit paper money inside, but you’ll need to fold the bills.Cons:• The zipper opening is a bit small. When the wallet is full, it can be hard to pull out certain cards quickly.• priceyYou can see from my photos that it’s compact but roomy, and looks really durable. If you carry lots of cards and want something tough and sleek, this wallet is a solid choice.I only take 1 star off because at $25 I think it's too expensive. I got it Used - Like New at $13 which I'm okay with.

Great EDC pouch that fits nicely in the pocket. Excellent materials that seem very durable.

I love the color combination on this pouch. It is super sturdy and you can tell that the quality is exceptional. If you are thinking about purchasing this pouch, I recommend it because it us very useful and sturdy. The zippers are really nice, where the zippers are it looks really air tight, I put some of those glasses that fold up flat and carry it in my front pocket when I go out.

Slightly bigger than my chums. Definitely more sturdy than the chums. Perfect back pocket slim wallet
