Trayvax OG 2.0: An almost PERFECT tactical minimalist wallet!

[@ChrispyThings]

What do you guys think of the Trayvax Original 2.0?

[@danielbanuelos9086]

Can u use the contour in a back pocket?

[@MrTomkat030]

It’s alright but I don’t like the 50/50 cord weaved through. The Axis I’m living more and more every time I see it.

[@tastrong5141]

I changed my cord I absolutely love the OG2.0. You can find different knots to use on KZbin. My wallet is as much a decoration as someplace to put my cards and cash.

[@jcook989]

I'd love to have it if you'd like to send it to me.

[@user-xw7zw5ek5d]

@@danielbanuelos9086 it's a small front pocket wallet but if you're feeling tough or angry go ahead and sit on it!

[@teagansitzman3890]

I was very reluctant to change up wallets to a minimalist style. (I have used a bi-fold for my entire life) I looked at the ridge wallet and a few other models before purchasing. I have been using the OG 2.0 for a while now and this wallet is definitely worth its weight in gold!

[@mikelindeman9755]

I’m a Trayvax contest winner, so have this wallet, the Contour, and the Armored Summit. I had purchased the Ascent prior. I rotate them, but call me crazy, I find myself going back to this Original 2.0 (in OD Green) time and time again. It’s so basic, but covers all functions really well...and feels solid. Yeah, adjusting the paracord for expansion is not a quick feat, but once set you’re good to go. I carry cash and the Original clip flexes enough to accept change well above capacity. So it’s a winner in my book...no pun intended.

[@ChrispyThings]

You won the OG 2.0?

[@mikelindeman9755]

Chrispy Things the Trayvax contest winnings included one each...Original 2.0, Armored Summit, Contour, lanyard, and Tac belt. Very nice package.

[@tastrong5141]

I'm jealous. I was hoping to win that. Congratulations.

[@elflakeador09]

This has just replaced my Ridge wallet. I absolutely love it. Far more rugged for everyday use. Its bomb proof.

[@Chris_of_Cleveland]

I've had this wallet for about two years now and I never realized that the paracord could hold your ID like that. Thanks!

[@rogerseelbach5330]

Hey..how do you like it? If you drop it off a motorcycle while going down the road, you think the cards would stay in and be ok?

[@Breaker197]

Really starting to dig this wallet. I may just replace my cheapie ridge knockoff. I personally started using the clip to just clip it on to my belt at the small of my back, just to minimize the stuff in my pockets. I spent half my day at work in a seat, so back pockets are a no go. Front pocket carry is fine, but I've got too much other stuff going on, plus accessibility can be an issue. Love simplicity and ingenuity of this design, and the options it opens up. Also worth noting that since you could easily change out the paracord, with whatever length you'd want, the carrying capacity for cars is basically functionally limitless.

[@soloman01uk]

Completely agree, a great wallet. I backed the Kickstarter and got the G10. Mainly use it for work as I have my card pass for opening doors and keep it on top of the wallet secured by the clasp. Works perfect. Reasonably priced too. I own most of Trayvax's wallets, they're great and I know you're a Contour fan, as am I.

[@ChrispyThings]

I can’t believe the functionality for the price with this wallet. It’s fantastic. I should’ve went with the G10!

Just got my new trayvax wallet as a Christmas gift from my father in law I have wanted one if these for a while now When I got it I scanned the insert and saw the video.

[@armandcouture4655]

I agree all of his reviews on ANY wallet for that matter such as Stow style are all Spot On!!

[@Reasonably-Sane]

I love the style of that wallet! The quality of the metal and the Paracord look great, and I also agree with you about the finger grip feature. That OG 2.0 looks like it will just look better with age, with each scratch and scuff marks adding to it's character.

[@ChrispyThings]

Yes a wallet like this will look great with wear

[@chrisvolnek6805]

I have this exact wallet and always go back to it for my EDC. What sold me on it was the customization with the Paracord. I simply swapped out mine with some orange and tied some simple snake knots on the end. However, I've seen some with multiple colors, different types of knots, and even a skull bead or a baseball bead. Get creative with the combinations. Edit: Trayvax is doing a daily giveaway on their page through the end of the year. Prize package come with this wallet, a Contour, a cinch belt, Armored Summit and a leather keychain. I won about a month ago, but am still waiting since Washington forced them to shut down operations for a couple weeks.

[@ChrispyThings]

They just recently opened their doors back up. So you should be seeing yours soon.

[@raycarrara8264]

I've had this wallet for over a year. Out of three wallets I carry this one gets the most pocket time. My favorite wallet is a Sin City leather wallet. On work days I use the trayvax. OG 2.0. due to having to go through security check points. Easy to clean just throw it in the dishwasher

[@ChrispyThings]

Nice! Wait, you put the wallet in a dishwasher?

[@raycarrara8264]

Yeah cleans it right up. Empty it out put it in the top rack.

[@Mary-es1ow]

Going to buy this for my boyfriend as part of anniversary gift. Hope he likes it! I looked at the other trayvax wallets but this one looked the most practical to me

[@ChrispyThings]

I love this wallet. Hope he likes it!

[@OnTheRiver66]

Ive been using the Axis wallet for over 3 months now and love it but today i started using the OG2.0 and love it as well. Love your reviews, but i hope i can decide on one wallet. No more fat butt pocket wallets! Thanks for your detailed reviews!

[@terryhutchinson9094]

I was attracted to the compact, minimalist approach. But after a few days trial, I returned to my old wallet. I had two issues - 1) selecting a card from a deck of 10 or 11 was a clumsy nuisance, not convenient, and 2) my drivers license has a paper sticker on it with my new address (how its done in Oregon) and the shifting of the DL in the windowed panel is quickly eroding the info on the paper sticker.

[@Charles3853]

Again another great review! Very practical wallet especially for people who need extra capacity for cards (and it does hold that many cards). I still use it and it does hold more than 5 bills comfortably.

[@MarkJohnson1960]

Great review. Trayvax is such a great company

I love my OG 2.0 in G10, but I could never get a snug enough fit for my five cards. In hindsight, I should've gone with the Trayvax Ascent wallet instead.

I wanted to buy it but couldnt find it on amazon so went with a cheaper version. pretty awesome design didnt know you could slot a ID card in the front. I need it for the ring hole. Just lost a wallet with 3 cards and all 3 got used till they were blocked leaving me with no money for a day. so one new card with be saved to gpay and i will carry 1 backup and drivers licence in this with a nice chain. really nice design and look and something that will be very hard to break or lose. thanks for the video

[@ChrispyThings]

Curious, Why would you look at Amazon for a Trayvax? They’re a small company that hand makes their gear. If you go to their site you can use discount codes. Either way I’m glad it worked out for you

[@GoodKyn]

Literally just saw an ad on this wallet, nice review 👍

[@phatdonkey78]

I got the original back in 2015. The velcro is starting to wear out and they will credit you for a new 2.0. The problem is, to get your credit you have to send them your old wallet first?!?! What are you supposed to do for a wallet during that process. I understand that's how most warranties work, but a wallet is used daily. It's not like this is a blender or something. Just emailed them and asked how that is handled. I bought the wallet for the warranty. We will see how it goes.

[@kevington82]

This is my current everyday carry in G10 (totally worth the upgrade to me). Really the only thing I don't like is the money clip. Trayvax loves to make you fold your bills twice over. I'd love to have a half fold option. Also since it's essentially 2 plates it would be cool if they offered some modular options or more substantial money clip. I hate having to take my money out to use the bottle opener. For the price though this just gets sooooo many things right.

[@ChrispyThings]

I don’t have the G10 yet. Do you like it better than the aluminum?

[@kevington82]

@@ChrispyThings yeah man it's got a really nice texture to it. I assume it's also lighter. Just feels more premium to me and since it's less than $50 I wouldn't even call it a splurge.

[@auston911]

Im thinking of getting the 2.0 and cutting a id window larger in the aluminum face. to the fullest possible dims without weakening it too much. Then ill sand it smooth

[@howeverweare]

Please do a long term review. Thank you!

[@hepgeoff]

Great review as always! I'm just wondering how much the cards get scratched pulling them in and out. Have you seen any problems with scratching the cards?

[@ChrispyThings]

Anytime cards are sandwiched together there’s the potential for scratching. But it’s worse if you still carry embossed cards. Raised numbered cards are on the way out. So if you own all flat cards as I do, it’s really not that bad at all.

[@TheMoke23]

I am torn between this and the Ridge. I like the features I this but the Ridge just looks nicer.

[@bryanmatney4955]

Trayvax best wallets in the space pnw boys know how to make a tac wallet, super practical and tactical nerdy, ridge is so minimalist its minimal, that ain’t the point, point is to pack features in a small package, support mark king and the boys from Bellingham WA, I still have an axis from 2007-2009 until now, no better for your dollar, and they make an outstanding belt cinch with buckle colors to match if you get one of the aluminum versions, key straps and lanyards to match your leather version, beard comb that fits in your wallet, knives, biners, company is top shelf, you won’t be disappointed

[@Mark-P]

I still prefer my FlipSide!

[@rogerseelbach5330]

They need drop tests on wallets. Like, fell out of my pocket on the motorcycle, or, left it on the back of the truck, to see if the cards will still be in it when found, or scattered all over the road.

[@Frank-uf2vn]

Im defiantly going to tell my wife this is what I want for Fathers day! I saw a (reg) screwdriver not a pry bar but OK ! It seems the more you spend on a Trayvax wallet the less functional it becomes? I will just ask for the Trayvax OG 2.0 ! When you put that many cards in it, it just doesn't seem to be a minimalist wallet anymore....lol

[@michaelpatrick6814]

[@TongueJedi]

Idk.. seems a lot could go wrong with paracord as a major function..

[@ChrispyThings]

How so?

[@MASFATNINJA]

I agree, has a lot of potential but the paracord is it’s downfall. Yes you can easily replace it if need be but you shouldn’t have to and it seems like a lazy design. I like the body and design but it needs to be held together with more professional appearing material. It shouldn’t look like something I can slap together in my basement. Maybe relabel this as a survivalist wallet as I can think of several ways to use it should I need to take it apart in the backcountry but it’s not a contender for an edc.

[@ChrispyThings]

Thanks for watching!

[@itstime5390]

Are you suggesting rubber would be better? The tensile and abrasion of paracord is way higher than this function requires.

[@MASFATNINJA]

itstime no definitely not, the paracords strength is awesome. I’m suggesting based solely on appearance that I personally wouldn’t enjoy carrying a wallet held together by paracord. Not into the excess material and such. After watching several of these videos and asking some questions I went with the carbon fiber ridge wallet and I really like the minimalism of it. Though not thrilled with the use of elastic I felt that the overall design and size works out best for me as I don’t have anything to pull or flip or snap. I also purchased the Dango rail wallet and it’s too wide and holds too little for my liking but it works great to keep in my truck for gas rewards cards and yearly park pass cards. I definitely agree that the strength of the paracord is great but it’s just too summer campy for my preference.
