Comparing Alpaka Zip Pouches and Wallets

[@Mia_Louiise]

I use the bigger one for travel. I put my passport, cards & cash in it, with other little items. Mainly used for travel though.

[@UncommonEDC]

Nice, it is perfect for travel. Thanks for watching!

[@zedl]

hi! can you fit cash into the zip clutch without needing to fold it? thank you for this video

[@UncommonEDC]

Yes, it can in both the zipper pocket and the slot on the back (assuming you are talking about US bills). Thanks for watching!

[@jaredkyvik3541]

Thanks for the comparison. I’ve been looking at some of the alpaka pouches. I like the smaller ones for use as a wallet.

[@UncommonEDC]

Glad it was helpful, I’ve been meaning to make a few of these type of videos for awhile. Thanks for watching!! 👊🏼

[@tahermunir7368]

Thanks for the comparison video...cheers

[@UncommonEDC]

You bet, thanks for checking it out!

[@davidwilliams1805]

Some good comparisons Jake! Some really decent pouches! Hope you have a great 4th brother!

[@UncommonEDC]

Thanks David! Hope you have a great 4th as well! 🇺🇸

Can you fit credit card to coin compartment? I'm considering to switch my Zip Pro to Zip Pouch Coin. Thanks for video 🫡

[@UncommonEDC]

Yes, you can slot a couple credit cards in to the coin compartment as well. Thanks for watching!

[@1977NOBODY]

The zip card holder is the best,Because you can hold 2 cards on the outside for quick access,Plus you can hold a pen and knife on the outside too👍🏻The only problem with these things is the weird angle you have to slide cards in and out of the main zip pocket

[@UncommonEDC]

I still need that one, I didn’t even realize I was missing one until I made this video. And agreed on the cards, I’ve gotten used to it at this point but interestingly, the coin version alleviates the issue as it is slightly larger.

I have 1 Alpaka that I got from Obuy that opens as a clam pac, I think it is called the Hub Pouch.

[@UncommonEDC]

Nice! The Hub Pouch is my other favorite from Alpaka, great size. Thanks for checking out the video!

[@rohithvsm]

Will any of the pouches fit an Airpods case and car key fob?

[@UncommonEDC]

I don’t have them in front of me at the moment but I’ve tested it before with my AirPod case and it technically fits into the zipper slot but not well and makes the exterior pockets basically unusable so definitely wouldn’t recommend.

[@AnnoyingInflatable]

Thanks for the slot measurements!

[@UncommonEDC]

Of course, thanks for watching!

[@chrisdelgado70]

New subscriber here. Awesome video. Currently using the Zip Pouch Pro, love its size but seen the Zip Clutch and knew I had to have that one as well. I’m a big guy with big hands so I got the room in my pocket for it to be used as a wallet and hold a few of my EDC items. Also used that discount code, thank you.

[@UncommonEDC]

Awesome! Hope you like it as much as the pro! Appreciate you checking it out and using the code!! 👊🏼

[@BMorph]

Is the color name teal or just green for zip pouch pro? Where did you get this color, on the website it seems darker green

[@UncommonEDC]

Mine is the Cadmium Green version. Thanks for checking it out!

[@SigogglinJack]

Thanks for this video. I’ve been looking at these as a replacement for my Chums wallet.

[@UncommonEDC]

You bet, glad it was helpful. Funny I’ve been meaning to make a video on my Chums alley but something else keeps coming up. Thanks for tuning in!

[@pretentiousname01]

I kinda wish they uses a “latch” style magnet closure on the coin pouch. Like just use the hub system connection. This way you can just pull the tab to open and your good

[@UncommonEDC]

🤔 That would’ve been interesting. I don’t mind the current magnet, my only issue is the corners of that flap catching on my pocket. Thanks for tuning in!

[@yashara1e]

Thanks buddy, great video!

[@UncommonEDC]

You bet, hope it helped!

[@yashara1e]

@@UncommonEDC It sure did, not much videos on this pouch anywhere.

[@annasoH323]

Good zipper is invaluable... have had some unfortunate zipper failures...

[@UncommonEDC]

💯 Nothing worse than a good bag or pouch ruined by a zipper failure. Thanks for checking out the video!

[@joelmouton9365]

I bought 3 of the zip pouch pros and the clutch. I have a question for the guys in particular. Do these wallets feel kinda feminine? They remind me of my grandmother’s coin purse. I have used the zip pouch pros a few times and I have no complaints with the quality or functionality BUT they just don’t have that masculine feel too me? Am I wrong or maybe overthinking this?

[@UncommonEDC]

Haha only with the clutch, ive never felt that way with the pouches. Thanks for watching

[@bayshark7o7]

Zip pouch pro still the Goat 🐐 😎 great comparison video Jake 👍🏽

[@UncommonEDC]

💯 The Zip Pouch Pro and their Hub Pouch are pretty hard to top. Thanks brotha!

[@bayshark7o7]

@@UncommonEDC yessir hub pouch was my first edc pouch. I Also got the one with loop. Their tech case and tech case mini are excellent as well. I put my 1911 sometimes in the tech case it's so robust lol.

[@UncommonEDC]

No way, wouldn’t have thought the tech case would fit a 1911. I’ve been shopping for a 1911 as well. (And the hub pouch is awesome too haha)

[@bayshark7o7]

@@UncommonEDC hehe. I'll send ya a photo of how it seats. I have several rock island armory 1911s since they're affordable and reliable. It can get pricey as you already know! Haha. Good luck and lmk what ya end up with my friend! Stay safe. 💪🏿

[@craig559]

Think I’m gonna go for the zip pouch pro. Can hold my headphones, card, keybar with car keys attached by magnut, train ticket and random edc fidget item I spent to much on 😊

[@UncommonEDC]

Nice! And haha, definitely have a few random edc items I’ve spent to much on 😅 Thanks for watching!!

[@Niknak1234]

Does the clutch fit a phone?

[@UncommonEDC]

My iPhone 15 Pro Max fits in the slot on the exterior but doesn’t fit in the zipper compartment so depends on the size of the phone. Anything bigger may not fit anywhere but if it’s a bit smaller than the 15 pro max you may be able to fit in the zipper pocket as well as the exterior slot.

[@Niknak1234]

@UncommonEDC thank you

[@smachiavelli7345]

They are all nice until you put something in them. Not well designed. Use one pocket then others become useless.

[@UncommonEDC]

It all depends on what goes in them. I am still carrying the zip pouch pro daily and I’ll usually have a mini pen and a small slip joint in the side pockets and it’s still very easy to access everything inside. If you put a large folding knife and a Leatherman in the exterior pockets it definitely gets too tight.

[@NecroBob73]

I could fit my entire Ridge wallet with 10 cards in it inside one of these things. Kinda defeats the minimalist vibe for my purposes.

[@UncommonEDC]

Fair enough. I haven’t been able to get into the Ridge style wallets but have never tried a Ridge brand one so may need to revisit them eventually. Thanks for watching!
