Modern technical fabrics 10X stronger than steel create a compact and rugged travel companion.

Story

The PIONEER Passport Wallet is the future.

The Pioneer Passport Wallet is the most technically advanced and compact wallet in its class – engineered for active lifestyles and perfected for international travel.

JOIN THE FUTURE: Your shoes, clothing, and bags have all been modernized with technical materials- but your wallet is still leather?  There are now new materials and manufacturing methods that out-perform leather and make for ultra-premium modern wallets.  Travel is on the horizon. Be a Pioneer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FEATURES

High-density technical fabrics feature the world’s strongest fiber. Our 10XD fabric is 10X stronger than steel, making our wallets more enduring than leather.

 

There are better materials for wallets now – Our strength/weight ratio beats leather every time.

 

Leather absorbs moisture and breaks down; Water, spills, humidity, sweat- our fabric can endure all conditions.

 

An extra layer of RFID blocking silver fabric technology is included in all colors.

 

 

MATERIALS AND COLORS

Our 10XD super fabric is ultra-high-molecular-weight-polyethylene (10X stronger than steel per weight) blended into fine nylon ripstop weave with a luxurious hand-feel unlike anything available on the mainstream market.

 

 

Our custom high-density nylon rip-stop is similar to 10XD without the UHMWPE and a more matte finish so that we can offer you a variety of colors. (10XD can’t be dyed)

HOW ITS MADE

From start to finish, every detail of the wallet is well considered. Here you see a glimpse of the design process alongside a complete sample of the wallet.

 

Our Future Form core technology gives our wallets a premium, structured hand-feel that breaks in with time, but never breaks down- like leather does.

 

 

We laser-cut the entire pattern for absolute precision. It costs more to do so, and only a discerning few will notice the difference- but we are obsessed with precision.

 

 

Designed and engineered in the USA. Our fabric is custom-milled for us by specialists in Seoul and expertly fused together in our factory in Saigon where we visit regularly to personally oversee production.

 

ABOUT PIONEER

We are bag and wallet industry veterans, having designed for brands like Nike, Black Diamond Equipment, Brooks England, and Levi’s Commuter. We have taken our knowledge of technical fabrics and applied it to a new generation of wallets. With your support, we hope to bring our designs to a larger audience and help fund further development into defining the future of wallets.

 

Designers, not businessmen.

We are designers and athletes. We left the cubicle to launch Pioneer and create beautiful wallets that change old perceptions of what a wallet should be. We are passionate boot-strappers who focus entirely on physical products. Kickstarter will allow us to raise funds to keep our heads down and develop even more new products and get more feedback from users to push the envelope even further into the world of advanced technical products

 

Risks and challenges

This isn’t our first wallet.

We’ve successfully manufactured thousands of our wallets and delivered them around the world. Our supply chain and process has been built to handle large orders without sacrificing quality.

Manufacturing delays: While this is a possibility, our manufacturer has always delivered items on time or has been transparent about expectations. If there is a chance of a delay, we will communicate this right away.

International delivery delay: International deliveries are subject to possible customs inspections, which can cause delays. These inspections are beyond our control and can last several business days so please be aware of this possibility. Once the item passes the inspection, it will be delivered shortly.
