Just swapped from an element to a contour and man I am so impressed. This contour is a piece of art with great functionality. Last wallet I am sure I will own.

I have the Element in black picked it for 2 reasons. More leather and money is hidden.

Awesome review. It's been 6 years since this video. Which one has been your go to, element or contour? Why did you choose it over the other?

Good review. Still prefer the Element though.

I got the special edition contour when it came out and I love everything about it and I still have the OG Trayvax from the kickstarter and I'll never go back to a billfold wallet again

I got mine too on November for my 25th bday..I still carry it and love it. It's taken a nice wear just how I wanted it. I have an Element Tobacco Brown

I have to o.g. element in Mississippi mud with the exact same leash but in Mississippi mud. 6+ years edc, I just sent it in to get new leather. it originally cost me $100.00 smackaroos. 😊

I bought this wallet the ekster parliament and the ridge. Ridge is my favorite in terms of size and unique designs but I always comeback to the element for bigger cash carrying capacity I could add a lanyard and carabiner to clip to my bag or belt loop and you can’t beat the leather patina 😏

i went from bottega, gucci, and louis vuitton wallets to tumi ever since i got into EDC. I decided that it's not manly to My tumi bi-fold is still fresh as hell, but i had to give trayvax a try. i love the slim design. i hope I didn't make a mistake by getting the element over the contour. price is no issue for me. i just think the element looks classier since both sides are relatively covered in leather

You wont regret it man i purchased the trayvax element 2 years ago still my go to love that it is mostly leather gets a nice shine i prefer it over ekster,dango and the ridge wallets

Atleast with these wallets they last forever yet with a regular leather bi or tri fold wallet it ages and all but eventually starts to crack and rip and you have to buy a completely new wallet. With these The frame is thin enough to not be completely leather and you can re purchase the leather straps in different colors too when the strap starts to give out and not have to buy a completely new wallet Plus me personally I’ve found full leather wallets just are uncomfortable especially in hotter climates it makes you sweat more in the back or front pockets You do get what you pay for. It’s minimalist and for front pocket carry so therefore more comfortable and harder to steal Had a Bottle opener so you don’t have to carry one on your keys So if you think about it this wallet will last you a long ass time and will be as minimal as possible

In order to use the bottle opener(on the element), do you have to open the strap?

i don't and it works fine. I only have 3 cards in my wallet though.

I have the original since March 2015 and an Element (older version). I never used the element cause it was so stiff and hard to get things out of other than when I was dressed up I would put my Driver ID and maybe one credit card in it. Since my Original strap is getting warn I'm looking to replace it and realy like the contour, just not that price tag they have on it.

On the Contour...can you use the bottle opener without having to open the wallet?

The metal plates are not stamped out. They're laser cut.

My main concern with contour is that the cash is not protected. Have you found that to be an issue? Is your cash getting worn out prematurely?

I know this is old but do not fade out audio that fast. As an editor this was a nightmare to watch.

6:55 I personally would be really leery about having cash in this. It looks like anytime you unsnap the front to remove a card(s) that folded up cash could fall out the back. There literally is nothing but the friction of the leather against the money holding it there.

Cards come out of the trayvax way easier.. bought the burnt titanium ridge and sent it back.. all the little gimmicks they talk about to attempt to get one specific card out of the ridge is bs if you use any other card but the top one it's super annoying to use on a daily basis. Both the contour and the ridge are extremely overpriced for what you get but from a pure esthetic standpoint I think the contour looks much more unique.

Sorry but the Contour is FLAWED. If you have, for example, 5 cards in the wallet and you pull one out and turn the wallet upside down (so opening is facing the floor) and tap the wallet, ALL the remaining cards in the wallet will fall out. I had the Contour and it was trash for this very reason 💩👎🏼. I swapped to the TrayVax Ascent - so much better....

Keep buying a new wallet every year or 2 then. I've owned many wallets, and they all fail in the stitching, or the edges fray and then pull the stitching apart. I even spent $45 on a nice carhartt wallet, thinking it would last me for a long time. The fabric on the inside started to rip apart after a year, and the frayed leather edges started to make the stitching pop. I had it for 2 years and it was falling apart. This thing hasn't failed me since switching.
