The Groove Wallet Trace is EXPENSIVE: but Works Well (Tested & Reviewed)

I’ve always been a big fan of leather bi-folds, and in fact, have never owned a minimalist wallet before this one right here! However, after Groove Life offered to gift Gear43 their all-new Groove Wallet Trace (which is a trackable, 6-card capacity wallet), I was excited to check it out and put it through its […]

The QALO Classic Ring is THE PERFECT first Silicone Ring (A Review)

I had never given rings much of a thought until recently! It’s generally expected that you wear a single metal-based wedding band, and that is that. However, in recent years, plenty of brands have been popping up that are starting to offer silicone rings. Some are quite expensive, some are incredibly cheap, and some are

Ridge Wallet vs Bellroy Card Sleeve (Is Leather or Metal Better?)

There aren’t two minimalist wallets that are more different from each-other than the Ridge Wallet and the Bellroy Card Sleeve. One is built from two metal plates with an elastic strap, the other is a soft leather build. However, what they both do is effectively carry cash and cards – and not much else. I’ve

Ridge Carbon Fiber 3K Rings are Worth it (Full Review)!

Over the years, I, unfortunately, have gone through quite a few different wedding rings. Whether it be due to skin reactions to the materials, the ring being too large, etc. However, I have never really “been into” rings – that is – until I started digging a little bit more into them, especially in Ridge’s

This Sneaker & Water Shoe Combo is well worth a look! (X-Scape Baja Review)

Late last summer, I received a package; I didn’t know what it was, other than that it was from Deckers X Lab! After opening it, I found a pair of some of the strangest shoes I have ever seen, with no box, no description, and no explanation on Deckers X Lab’s website. Well – it

Is the Ridge Forged Carbon Fiber (Aurora) Really worth 50% more? (A Review)

I’ll put this right out into the open: I’m a big fan of Ridge’s products. My first true minimalist wallet was the Ridge Aluminum, which my wife had given me! In fact, that wallet is what got me into reviewing wallets like this (which has become a passion of mine). However, after years of reviewing

Ridge Wallet vs Aviator Slide Wallet: Which should you buy?

Back in 2013, when Ridge released its first wallet, the wallet game changed. You no longer had to keep a massive leather bifold in your backpocket, not only hurting your back, but storing far too many receipts from six years ago. Since that time, there have been plenty of rivals, iterating on the design that

Double Oak’s Leather Wallets Changed My Mind! (Founder’s Edition Review)

I haven’t been overly fond of leather-based minimalist wallets, and in fact, I was quite harsh with the Ekster Wallet that I had tested a while back because it was just too big to be a minimalist wallet. However, after a viewer of my YouTube channel mentioned that I should check out Double Oak Essentials,
