Best Wallets and Wallet Sizes for Bikes
Bikes are one of the best forms of exercise we have. Bikes are an alternative to cars that allow us to speed to a destination with significantly less pressure on our muscles and joints, allowing us to experience a more intense aerobic exercise that is also accessible to more people.
But biking can still be challenging on the body, especially with its frequent repetitive motion. That’s why something as “minor” as your wallet choice can play a fairly impactful role on your ability to ride a bike comfortably. Choosing the wrong wallet can lead to:
- Chaffing
- Pressure in the Leg
- Excess Sweating
- Uneven Riding
- Motion Restriction
With the wrong sized wallet, it may be more difficult for one leg to bike, your pelvis can be pushed out of alignment, and may even be at higher risk of falling out. Your typical day to day wallet may simply not be sufficient for your bike’s needs.
Wallets for Bikes?
At Allett, many of our wallets were specifically designed with outdoor enthusiasts in mind – especially those that ride bicycles. Many of our own team members bike ride to work, and we wanted to make sure that we had wallets that offer as much support and comfort as possible while still also acting as wallets even when not on a bike.
*ALL* of our wallets are designed to be ultra-thin, which makes them all a better alternative than traditional bulky wallets to bikers. All of our wallets can be carried in the front pocket as well. Our wallets are all designed to be durable, which helps withstand the friction and rigors of biking when they’re sitting in your pocket (or elsewhere on your person).
But some wallets are going to be better than others, and the best ones we have for wallets are the ones with the following features:
- Breathable Nylon – Leather wallets can still work, and the high end leather we use is more breathable than traditional leather, but for biking, breathable nylon is going to offer the most comfort.
- Ultra, Ultra Thin – Similarly, nylon is going to be thinner than every other material. Our nylon is known as “ripstop” which is as thin as possible without the risk of ripping. This means that it moves with the leg and is softer to the touch.
- Small – Typically, you do not bring a big wallet with you on your ride. You bring a wallet that only has enough space for the cards you absolutely need, and maybe a small amount of cash.
So while all of our wallets are better wallets for bikes than many traditional designer wallets, the ones that are the best are going to be the following:
These three wallets offer the best combination of breathability, softness, function, and longevity, with the sports wallet in particular being a great choice for those that are frequently enjoying outdoor recreational activities.
Finding a Wallet That Suits Your Activity Level
You will find that all of our handcrafted wallets are a great choice for your needs. Even our leather wallets are made with high end Napa leather, which is far softer, thinner, and more durable – all of which make them a great option for those that need an all-around wallet and prefer to keep only one wallet on them at all times.
But for those that specifically want a wallet for biking, it is hard to do better than a nylon, ultra thin, ripstop wallet with space for only the cards you need.
If you’re looking for a wallet, our designs make some of the best wallets you can find on the market today. Order yours, today, from Allett.
