WaterField adds RFID blocking to their Finn Wallet

Do a search and you’ll find a lot of articles about WaterField’s Finn wallets as they have evolved – and been reviewed – by The Gadgeteer over the years.  There’s a new evolution in the Finn design to discuss today.  WaterField has kept the same shape, materials, and functionality you love in the Finn and added RFID-blocking to the Finn Access wallet to protect your cards and even your passport.

There are three sizes of the new Finn Access.  The Compact Size (#25) is 4.5″ x 3″ and weighs 1.5 oz; it holds about 20+ credit cards plus a wad of U.S. dollars.  The Classic(#26) is 4.75” x 3.5” and weighs 2.6 oz; it holds 20+ credit cards plus a wad of US or foreign currency.  The Passport (#42) is 5.75″ x 4.25″ and weighs 1.9 oz; it holds a U.S. Passport, US or foreign currency, 20+ credit cards, and a small pen.

The Finn Access is made of full-grain leather, certified RFID-blocking material, and has a YKK self-locking zipper.  There’s an outside pocket to keep travel docs or even an iPhone X readily available.  All three sizes are available in your choice of grizzly, gray, black, or crimson leather.  The Compact and Classic sizes are $79.00; the Passport is $89.00.  Learn more and purchase the Finn Access wallet at WaterField Designs.
