An interesting thing happened when we featured the Trayvax Axis a while back—we found that our readers who carry one are exceptionally happy with Trayvax and all their wallets. So when we heard Trayvax made updates to their flagship Element wallet, we had to take a look.

The new Element comes with all the features of the original. Top-grain, oil-tanned leather make up its main enclosure, and secures onto the stainless steel skeleton with mil-spec 550 paracord. The frame now comes in a much-requested black colorway, with a Cerakote finish that improves durability and RFID protection. The Element is sized for EDC at 4.5”x2.8”x0.5”, and designed to carry 3-10 cards and 1-5 folded bills either in your pocket or off a lanyard.

The black version of the Element is made in the USA and comes in Mississippi Mud (dark brown), Tobaco Brown, and Canyon Red leather (pictured above). If you want a rugged wallet that both carries minimally and ages elegantly, pick one up direct from Trayvax at the link below.

I don't get the whole RFID trend that you see in wallets. How many credit cards have RFID chips and how many are being skimmed?

The US is moving to have ALL cards to have achip design in the future to prevent fraud. As for scanning them, it can be done. A few Google searches and you will be thankful for the RFID blocks. :)

Definitely a unique wallet. I was trying to figure out the combination frame and leather, and how that might feel in my back pocket. I like the ability to secure the wallet to your belt or backpack, using the hole in the frame/skeleton.

minimalist wallet that is a little bit more robust than most wallets on the market right now. I normally carry only the essentials with it, so ~5 cards & ~5-10 USD bills and I can not even feel it in my back pocket.

This is the best wallet I have ever owned. I only carry my wallet in my back pocket. this however is a minimalist wallet but that being said it is a little bit more robust than most wallets on the market right now. I normally carry only the essentials with it, so ~5 cards & ~5-10 USD bills and I can not even feel it in my back pocket. I'm sorry about the first reply that got cut off.

Se parece a las carteras que hacía mi abuelo en su pueblo. Podían hacer algo de aspecto más moderno. Y vaya precio. Me parece un auténtico robo pero bueno...
