The nice thing about this one is that once folded the cards align perfectly. I hate wallets where cards are stacked but not aligned, it makes for the cards to bend over time.

Size wise, I’d compare it more with the Bellroy Note sleeve than the slim. And I could see that you struggled a bit to insert the American dollars, just like with the Note I have. Besides, the Note can carry a whole lot more cards in the slot with the pull tab, and in the back slot, sharing the space with the bill fold. It also has the super useful coin pocket, which I use a lot. Overall I feel is a much better design. Sadly it has RFID, so I can’t use my subway card without pulling it out of the wallet.

I have this wallet, but it's not all that great. The material is really nice, but it's not well put together. The two main pockets are noticeably askew and the outer piece of material that forms the bill holder is poorly fitted, making the entire wallet asymmetrical and off balance. Honestly one of the most disappointing purchases I've made in a long time. But I figured it was just a one-off mistake that slipped through QA, so I tried another one of Pioneer's wallets. It had better construction, but the material is full of unsightly creases. On top of all of that, Pioneer's customer service is sloooow. I've given up on dealing with them because it takes WEEKS for them to respond, even to an open ticket.

Nice review with good new opening. This wallet looks to be one of the better one functionally. This does not look bad with very clean seam. The concern for the material is usually scratch marks over time and water resistancy fading over time. I will wait for carry test but I suspect this will be better than the belroy. For travel wallet though, probably you can put the coins inside the interior slots which opens to the spine, but this one seems to have large gap on the spine. This may or may not cause coins slipped out in some condition.
@walletopia

The material in Pioneer's wallets won't scratch unless you take a razor to it. People have been carrying Pioneer's wallets for several years and I've never read where the color faded or the wallet failed due to wear and tear, the material is impressive. Regarding the spin depth, you're right, that's what makes it work with all the currencies, just a big wider, which would risk coins falling out.

@@walletopia I'm looking forward to this comparison. I need a wallet that can handle international currencies well. I'm having a hard time deciding between the Pioneer Altitude and Bellroy Note Sleeve. Love the idea of the materials used in the Pioneer, but the Bellroy seems a bit more feature-rich. I'm just wondering how useful those extra features might be in real-world conditions. I typically keep coins in my pocket. The coin pocket on the Bellroy seems it would be a bit fiddly and limited in its actual use for coins, but I could see other things going in there. I do like the extra "hidden" pocket in the billfold of the Bellroy. I can see that being useful for hotel card keys, reducing the need to take it out of your wallet. Great work on the videos BTW. Loving the channel.

I am sure this will be a controversial one. The exterior certainly does not appeal to me, but maybe the color is just....boring? Of course, I can't really say a lot about the material, maybe it has a good hand feel? The interior doesn´t knock me out of my shoes, yeah it takes a few cards. If we one day, post-Corona, frequently travel between countries with small footprint bills and large bills, I don't have to like fold my bills? Btw, for Japan, I would say it misses the coin compartment anyway. Anyway, this makes wallet addiction so much fun, some just don't trigger. :)

Hello sir, I have a question. Your video's BOOOO RFID protection, and in this one you call it a marketing scam, yet, you are extremely supportive of DANGO products, which is built on the premise of RFID. So With this wallet getting a 40 and Dango wallets averaging a 38-40 range for you, I wonder how much the RFID thing really matters in your ratings or if that is a side joke, because your reviews seem to focus their ratings on style points and usability. Just wondering if you could address that. Is there RFID scamming or not, is it a deal or not? Thank you for the wonderful videos.
