Gallantry / M1 Maverick Spec-Ops Wallet

Most wallets are pretty good at holding cash and cards, but that’s about as far as it goes. Of course, the USA-made Dango M1 Maverick Spec-Ops isn’t most wallets. Inspired by and built for first responders, members of the armed forces, and the hardcore tactical crowd, this vertically formatted pocket hauler boasts a construction of “bullet-proof” DTEX material along with a Cerakote CNC-machined aluminum frame. That means this 10-card wallet is ultra-tough, water-resistant, and even RFID blocking. And if that’s not enough, it also comes with a removable MT04 stainless steel multitool insert that comes with 10+ built-in functions, ranging from a bottle opener to a hex tool, to a serrated cutting edge, and so much more.
