If you’re looking for a reliable, compact way to carry cash, credit cards, and your ID, a trifold wallet is a great solution. The best trifold wallets are constructed from attractive yet durable materials that can withstand frequent use and provide ample space for your valuables. There’s a wide array of trifold wallets to cater to your needs, ranging from basic designs with a few compartments for just the essentials to ones with additional storage and safety features.
Since you’re likely to use your wallet on a regular, if not daily, basis, you should make sure it’s made from a material that can withstand some wear and tear. Leather is a go-to material for all kinds of fashion accessories, including wallets — but if you want the look of leather without animal-derived materials, you can opt for a quality faux-leather wallet instead. Another practical material for wallets is water-resistant nylon, and it can come in fun colors, too.
Another important factor to consider when selecting a trifold wallet is how much space. Trifold wallets vary in how many slots they offer for your credit cards and IDs, so it’s a good idea to count how many you’ll need before you choose a wallet. Most have separate compartments to stash your cash, but some feature sleek money clips instead. You can even find trifold wallets with coin pouches to accommodate loose change — just keep in mind that loading them up with coins might make your wallet feel bulkier. When shopping for a travel wallet, consider a more spacious option that can hold larger items like passports.
If security is of particular concern to you, look for extra safety-focused features. Many wallets have individually zippered compartments and/or snap or hook-and-loop closures that keep the wallet closed. You can also find wallets with removable straps or chains that keep them attached to your wrist or belt loop. There are also wallets with RFID-blocking technology, which is intended to prevent credit card and other personal info from being digitally skimmed — many experts say RFID-blocking technology isn’t necessary for wallets, however, it doesn’t hurt to have this feature if it offers you added peace of mind or if you simply find it in a wallet that you like.
Scroll on for eight of the best trifold wallets that you can purchase on Amazon.
1. The fan favorite
This fan-favorite leather Timberland wallet has garnered more than 22,000 customer ratings on Amazon and an overall 4.6-star rating. One Amazon reviewer wrote about the quality and longevity of construction: “I have owned this wallet for three years and it has held up very well.” It features six card slots, two slip pockets (aka small pockets you can slip extra cards or other items into), plus a transparent ID window with a thumb cutout, which makes sliding your ID in and out of the sleeve quick and seamless. Plus, it also has two compartments for cash. What the trifold wallet doesn’t have is a closure — though, several reviewers wrote that the card slots are tight to prevent cards from slipping out.
