The Best Travel Wallets in 2019

Security is at the heart of this minimalist travel wallet. It starts with its namesake feature: RFID protection to keep your payment and passport information safe when you’re on the go. The durable and waterproof, seam-welded polyurethane construction of the wallet resists the elements as well as breakage during the wear and tear of frequent travel. The button closure also guards against losing your identity documents and cards when you can least afford it, letting you rest easy as you go from point A to point B.

The P02 Pioneer Travel Wallet is a modular EDC organizer geared for travel carry made of durable DTEX fabric. It features an RFID-shielded space for your passport, identity documents, boarding passes, payment cards, and unfolded bills of cash in a design that you can carry in a convenient sling style. It’s also compatible with the included MT02 clasp multi-tool that integrates into the design to give you a chisel, a bottle, opener, hex socket, and the ever-useful set of flathead and Phillips screwdrivers.

If you’re prone to having your gear fall out of your wallet, the full-zip design of the Herschel Travel Wallet ensures that can’t happen to you when you’re abroad. There’s even a separate zippered space within the wallet itself for your most important items, and that area can also be used to secure any coins you might have, a rarity in and of itself.

This wallet mixes ease of use with security, with high-visibility see-through panels for your coins and other small items, as well as a driver’s license or identification card. Your passport can remain safely tucked into one of the tall internal pockets, and unfolded bills fit well on the opposite side. Everything you put inside enjoys RFID blocking from the 10 MHz to 3GHz spectrum, and the lightweight 300D dual-diamon heather ripstop construction should hold up well against frequent use.

The Trayvax Explorer is a beautiful heirloom-quality leather passport holder and card carrier that keeps things simple and immensely functional while retaining a heritage aesthetic look. On one side of the oiled and stitched Horween latigo leather wallet is dedicated space for a passport. On the other, there’s two card holders that can fit up to 12 cards in total. Removing the cards you need is made easier with the hole cut into the sleeve, letting you identify the card on top and access it quickly by pushing it out.

Travel doesn’t mean you have to abandon a smart minimalist everyday carry. The Bellroy Passport Sleeve is built around secure carry of the largest item you’ll have on you when traveling abroad: your passport. Instead of opening up like other wallets in this category, this piece of kit keeps it slim and compact by giving you two quick-access card slots on one side of the wallet, and a space for a folded ticket or some cash on the other. And the Passport Sleeve does all this while sporting a handsome premium leather construction.

The unique, waterproof sailcloth material used in the Flowfold RFID Blocking Navigator sets it apart from the rest of the pack when it comes to travel passport holders. For one thing, the thin yet durable material makes this wallet weigh in at a minuscule 1.1 ounces fully-unloaded in your pockets. But don’t mistake its light weight with a lack of usability and features: you can fit 6-8 cards and a passport into this wallet, and the integrated RFID blocking material built into the wallet keeps your data safe from fraudsters as well.

If you travel often you’d know that no trip comes without its own fair share of surprises. And when you get your travel wallet soiled with who-knows-what, wallets made from traditional fabrics just don’t hold up . But with the Wayfinder minimalist BORDERLESS passport holder, that’s not a problem at all. The TPU-coating resists grime, while its polyester body is machine washable as well. It also has a lot more strength than a traditional wallet, letting it resist stretching over time and becoming more insecure as you use it. There’s room for up to 4-6 cards in the dual card pocket, and when you’re not traveling, you can fit up to a B7 notebook in the passport slot, letting you use this wallet for your every day.

If you’re looking for something special to accentuate your travel life, this completely handmade passport cover by Craft & Lore should be right up your alley. Each of these wallets is cut and stitched together here in the US in the state of Idaho. You can pick between a high-grade natural or ‘buck brown’ tanned Wickett & Craig harness leather construction. The design of the holder features a secure double button clasp closure, revealing space for a passport or Field Notes note book as well as 2-4 cards in the dedicated slots.

When you’re traveling with a group or with your family, a travel wallet that can only fit your personal passport might not be enough. And obviously, if you have kids, letting them carry their passports in their own pockets can end up being a recipe for disaster. With the Zero Grid multiple passport travel wallet, you have room for up to 6 passports in a fully-zippered main compartment that's RFID protected for your groups safety. There's also room for 4-10 payment and identification cards, making this a one-stop travel organizer when you're taking care of more than just yourself.
