If you’re looking to clean up your carry, one of the best places to start is your wallet. The best wallet for your EDC balances slimness and capacity. You want a wallet that’s thin enough to carry comfortably in your pocket, but spacious enough to fit all your cards. Compared to ultra minimalist front pocket wallets that can feel cramped for storage or hard to use, bifold wallets can be both intuitive and spacious. In this guide, we’re showcasing the best bifold wallets that are slim enough to carry in your front pocket with features you’d want in your everyday carry.
