As the world becomes more and more reliant on digital payments cash pickpockets have had to invent new ways to steal our hard-earned cash. With the rise of contactless bank cards, there is now a fear that the baddies of the world have the same card machines as your local pub and are hanging around on street corners stealing your money and personal information as you unknowingly walk by. Whether this is a legitimate scam or just another urban legend it has promoted the rise of RFID Blocking products to help keep your bank cards extra safe and this is exactly what Go Travel RFID Wallet strives to do.

Made from black leather the Go Travel RFID Wallet is a slimline wallet with 8 card slots and 2 banknote slots at the back. It’s well made with a discrete Go branding embossed on the front, lightweight at only 40g and pocket-friendly with dimensions W 110 x H 95 x D 13. We tested the wallet out on a 4week trip to china, it was well used and thrown about from trouser pocket to backpack and still looks brand new. One problem we did find was that on 3 occasions at 3 different hotels the hotel key card stopped working and we had to get it reset at the reception. This may have been a fault with the hotels but when we started keeping the key cards in my bag we didn’t have this problem again which seems a big coincidence. We also tested it by putting our contactless payment card in the wallet and holding it up to the card machine and it didn’t read it, win, but then we did the same with a normal wallet stuffed full of recipes and old loyalty cards for shops that don’t exist anymore and it didn’t register either.

For the price this is a nice little wallet that could help give the security conscious extra piece of mind but whether you need RFID protection is down to individual preference. RRP £19.99
