PELICAN G5 RF FIELD WALLET
Pelican is known for its bombproof hard-sided cases to get your equipment safely to your destination no matter how bumpy the road. And yes, they offer tactical flashlights, headlamps, backpacks, duffel bags, and coolers among other things too.
The company’s latest protective case is not something you’ll lug around or wheel behind you. The Pelican G5 RF Field Wallet is a waterproof aluminum case that fits conveniently in your pocket. It provides protection f rom scammers out to steal your RFID information too. The case has internal dimensions of 0.4x2.6x4.1 inches, so it’s able to carry credit cards, driver’s license, other ID cards, cash, and small photos of the kids.
The crushproof wallet features solid aluminum f rame, rubber O-ring gasket to seal out water, and a snap latch to keep it all together.
The hinge pin is stainless steel. We’ve been testing this wallet for several weeks now and it’s truly built to last. That’s why Pelican puts a lifetime guarantee on it.
MSRP: $39.95
There’s a rubber strap on the back of the case to secure things for quick access. Inside, there’s a strap on one side and a mesh organizer on the other for cards, cash or even a spare key.

One note of caution: while it is waterproof (we know because we tested it), it does not float when it’s full of cards and such. So, if you’re out in your kayak, you might want to loop the included nylon carry strap through your belt. The strap is long enough so you’d still be able to tuck the wallet in a pocket. Or, you could add your own lanyard.
