AIRO Collective: Wallet Game on Point

8 cards in a wallet never looked so slim.

Sure, we get it. You have tons of cash and even more plastic in that wallet, that your baller status is at an all time high. We also understand that when you put all that bling into your wallet, you are left with a brick to sit on in your back pocket. Nobody has time for that. Give your butt/back a break from sitting on that lump of junk and slide into one of the slimmest wallets in 2021: the AIRO Collective Stealth Line.

Our crew has looked at, tested, and messed with plenty of wallets in our life. We have reviewed plenty of wallets to know what it takes to make a wallet a staple in any man’s EDC lineup. The AIRO Collective wallet line featuring their Stealth Leather and Stealth Razor wallets may be one of the top finds of the year.

INITIAL IMPRESSIONS

Our crew had the opportunity to test out the STEALTH Leather and STEALTH Razor (at the time of this review this was on pre-order). Before we started the testing we took a peak at this Strength Test:

Yeah, the AIRO line of wallets is freaking durable and strong. Right out the box, the sleek and slim design of the 7.9” opened and 3” closed wallet stood out. with a 2.0mm thin profile (while empty), the cut lines, sew lines, and inner functionality of the wallet(s) were on point. The 3 leather color options, and the feel of the STEALTH Razor wallet was unlike the competition in 2021. Each wallet comes with their own features.

STEALTH LEATHER WALLET

The Stealth Leather Wallet is one of the smoothest and slimmest folding wallets on the market.

FEATURES:

  • 5x stronger than steel

  • Thinnest full-capacity leather wallet on the market

  • Top-quality premium performance leather sustainably sourced from an Italian tannery

  • Holds 8 cards and cash

  • RFID protection

Stealth Wallet was made to last and was built to be practical and durable. It can carry 8 cards at a time, is RFID protected, and has a ballistic bungee loop to easily hold & slip in cash - all while being ultra thin. Best of all, Stealth Wallet stays ultra-thin even after stuffing it with cards and using it overtime.


STEALTH WALLET | RAZOR

The Stealth Razor wallet texture is unlike other material composites on the market in 2021.

FEATURES:

  • Made in the USA

  • 15x stronger than steel

  • As thin as a razor

  • Holds 8 cards and cash

  • RFID protection

Similar to the Leather Stealth Wallet, the Razor can carry 8 cards at a time, is RFID protected, and has a ballistic bungee loop to easily hold & slip in cash - all while being ultra thin.

Our Initial crew Impression: Can these REALLY hold all our cards/cash?

TESTING IT OUT

Lets put some money into these…and some cards!

Our crew packed each wallet with cards, cash, and took them wherever we travelled for our review. From the office, to dinner, even out with us while we tested other products to see if the wallets’ claim to fame was in fact legit.

STEALTH LEATHER

First up was the Stealth Leather wallet. initially placing the cards in either of the 2 slots had us skeptical. It was a super tight fit and we we certain the wallet was going to come apart at the seams. But, guess what? It held its shape and easily held the 4 cards we placed inside. We added a card each day until we hit 8 total cards. Toss in some cash and the wallet really did make access to cards, DL, and cash a breeze. The middle chord for holding cash in place really did work well and made for added and taking cash out super simple.


STEALTH RAZOR

Next up was the Stealth Razor wallet. This wallets construction was literally one of the lightest materials we have every tested on a wallet. Most often wallets are made from leather, but this material was smooth and while it felt like it may tear after a week’s worth of use- it didn’t. In fact, it is so lightweight there were a few times we thought we forgot to even carry our wallet in our pocket. The same cash chord worked like a charm and the easy access ID slot was a really cool concept that also worked extremly well.

STANDOUT FEATURES

If slim design, great construction, and easy to access ID slot was not enough for ya, the AIRO lineup has some legit standout features that grabbed our attention.

  • The Razor is made of a military-spec ballistic material that is 15x stronger than steel and thinner than a razor blade

  • The material is so smooth and lightweight it is like you are not even carrying anything in your pocket.

  • Most foldable wallets end up being bulky- this was one of the first foldable wallets that remain it’s small imprint

  • The sustainable nature in which these wallets are constructed not only do good for your backside (while sitting down on it), but also does a pretty good job helping out ole Mother Nature

  • The wallets feature RFID blocking, access to cards/money easily, and are sleek looking.

BONUS FEATURES

As a bonus feature, AIRO Collective offers more than just Wallets.

AIRO Collective offers a lineup of Anti-touch tools, Leather Wallet Balm, and other features on the regular. With their team in development of more and more products each day, you do not want to miss out on what is happening next.
