Is this an RFID safe wallet? It seems similar to the Ridge but nothing in the description mentions any RFID protection.

awsumsawza quick search on DFWcomposites did not mention anything about RFID protection either. Looks like it doesn't have it. I don't get the difference between these wallets and a thick rubberband.

bsastorYour cards are protected by a... different card? lol
I think I'll be sticking with my Ridge for now. I got it when it dropped on here but I went with the polycarbonate in blue. I wish I had gotten something a little more refined like the aluminum.
Thanks Bsastor!

awsumsawzHi awsumsawz! The wallet does offer a reasonable amount of RFID protection. Carbon fiber is naturally impermeable to RF signals in the radio EM spectrum. The wallet wasn't designed from the outset to offer RFID protection as we've found most people miss the functionality of being able to use RFID cards at their workplace or apartment to quickly key in without having to take the card out of their wallet. However, the wallet does quench the transmittance enough to where if the card isn't on the other most layer of your stack, it doesn't register. It ends up being a convenient best of both worlds situation as you can still use RFID cards to key in to doors, but the signal is essentially worthless if it's more than 1cm away.
