Key Features
- Compact Yet Spacious Design – Measuring just 4.5″ x 3″, the Surfshorts Wallet fits comfortably in your front or back pocket, small bag, or backpack. Despite its slim size, it offers ample room for cards, cash, and small essentials, making it perfect for minimalist carry without sacrificing utility.
- RFID Blocking Protection – This wallet includes a built-in RFID-blocking card that acts as a shield against unauthorized scanning of your credit cards and IDs. The card is designed to look like a fake ID from Utah, blending in while providing peace of mind in crowded areas, airports, or tourist destinations.
- Durable Water-Resistant Nylon – Constructed from heavy-duty rip-stop nylon, the wallet resists tears, abrasion, and moisture. This material ensures long-term durability in wet or unpredictable environments, whether you’re caught in the rain or trekking through damp trails.
- Dual Zippered Compartments – Two secure zippered pockets allow for organized storage of credit cards, IDs, cash, receipts, or coins. The zippers keep contents safely enclosed, preventing accidental loss during active use or travel.
- Clear ID Window – A transparent window provides quick access to your driver’s license or identification card, eliminating the need to remove it from the wallet during checkpoints or daily interactions.
- Integrated Key Ring – A built-in key ring adds versatility, allowing you to attach keys, car fobs, or small accessories directly to the wallet for consolidated carry—ideal for runners, cyclists, or travelers who want to minimize items.
- Lifetime Warranty – Backed by Chums’ commitment to quality since 1983, every Surfshorts Wallet comes with a lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects. This guarantee reflects the brand’s confidence in the product’s durability and long-term performance.

Important Notes
The Chums Surfshorts Wallet is imported and made from textile materials. While it is water-resistant, it is not fully waterproof—avoid submerging it in water for extended periods. The RFID-blocking card is included and must be placed between your cards to function effectively. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended to maintain the nylon’s appearance and performance. The lifetime warranty covers manufacturing defects but does not include damage from misuse, normal wear, or improper care. Always store the wallet in a dry place when not in use to preserve its longevity.
