A cross between Big Skinny's high-capacity Monte Cougar wallet and its standard compact tri-fold wallet, the all-purpose Trixie tri-fold wallet holds 25 to 30 plastic cards and has two deep, separated billfold sections for your cash. The zippered compartment on the back is roomy enough for a large handful of change, while the magnetic closure keeps the whole wallet securely shut. It also features 10 card pockets (including two hidden) and an ID pocket with a clear plastic window for easy access to your driver's license or work badge. The extra-wide pockets are lined with a rubbery coating to prevent cards from slipping out. Designed with rounded corners for comfort, it's constructed of a lightweight, water resistant nylon microfiber material that is 5 to 7 times thinner and lighter than leather. It's machine washable for easy care, and it dries out in about 20 minutes. The Trixie wallet measures 5 x 4 inches (and 1.1 mm thin when empty). The first Big Skinny wallet was designed by Kiril Stefan Alexandrov (the company's founder) because he loathed sitting on a thick, heavy leather wallet. Since creating the original Sport Wallet in 2005 using an advanced nylon micro-fiber material (5 to 7 times thinner than leather), Big Skinny has added dozens of slim wallet styles for men and women with more on the way.
