What makes an EDC Wallet?

EDC wallets can be defined with a few criteria and all have common aspects among them. First of all, EDC wallets tend to be smaller in size and dimensions. They also tend to be made from harder materials such as metal so they can cope under more extreme situations and the chances of them ‘breaking’ are reduced greatly. We also already talked about the ‘tool’ aspects of EDC wallets such as the inclusion of bottle openers, knives, and even screwdrivers. Finally, because of these added features, Tactical style wallets tend to be more expensive than the average wallet on the market so make sure the benefits of these features are worth the price tag!

Is an EDC wallet right for me?

With an EDC or tactical wallet, you want to understand how you use your wallet on a daily basis and if any of these tools that are frequently included with EDC style wallets are useful to you. For example, do you frequently find yourself needing a knife or a bottle opener? If the answer to these questions is ‘No’ then you probably wouldn’t benefit from an EDC or Tactical wallet.

If you’ve already decided that a tactical wallet might not be for you then don’t worry. We have a range of other wallet reviews available for you to check out. For more information on some of our favorite metal, carbon fiber or minimalist wallets click the links below.
