This review will cover Dynomighty’s three

different wallet styles: the thin front pocket
Mighty Wallet, the minimalist Mini Mighty Wallet,
and the traditional-styled Stitched Billfold.

Design and features

Dynomighty’s wallets are all built using Tyvek as
the base material, which provides a super thin,
super lightweight, tearproof/waterproof base
material. They then do some clever origami tricks
with that material to provide wallets with some The YSMART

interesting design twists. Finally, they add a
whole range of customized printed designs in
bold, funky, and interesting patterns.
Latest news
We’ll start with the Mighty Wallet, their most
popular style, as an example of how this all The
comes together. I chose the “Tiger Warrier” YSMAR

design that was inspired by a traditional Chinese

Look how freaking cool this is! Dynomighty has

dozens of different styles to choose from ranging
from illustrations to photos to bold graphic
designs… you can even customize your artwork
with your own images for an upcharge.
The printing carries through the whole piece,
which is cleverly assembled from what I think is a
single piece of material. This leads to some of the
clever bits in the design. Your inside fold has two
open slots for stashing standard cards, oversized
cards (like a work ID) or similar things.

Here’s a closeup of those card inserts with actual

cards. I noted that a single card tends to slide
around a bit, but 2+ cards on each side hold
things in place. Three feels right. Four starts to
push the space, so I’d say 4-6 cards are ideal.
This is backed by a double set of billfold pockets,
which I don’t usually see in wallet designs. It’s
nice for separating your big & small bills, or
separating cash from receipts if you’re traveling.
On my recent vacation trip I had a lot of bills that
showed a really cool feature of this wallet. The
oragami fold design is flexible, so that it expands
if you stuff it. Check out the upper right edge of
this pic. See the expansion?

Here’s a side shot that shows it a little better.

There’s extra wiggle in the design if you overload
it, and it settles back when you don’t need the
extra capacity.
The second design is the minimalist Mini Mighty. I
chose this one in the cassette player design
(again, so many designs to choose from!).
This design forces you to carry the bare minimum
in your wallet. There are two single card slots on
the inside fold.
Each of those flaps is backed by another card
slot, and then there’s a pocket that spans the
back of the wallet.

The pocket is described as a billfold, but it’s not

the length of a standard US bill. You could fold a
couple of bills and stuff them in there, but I find it
more useful to go cashless and save that space
for extra cards if needed.

Last but not least, we have the Stitched Billfold

design. Here you’re getting a classic wallet design
with the benefits of Tyvek (slim, lightweight,
tearproof, waterproof, etc.). Again, many designs
to choose from. I went with the Sriracha label.
While the other designs seem to be made from a
single piece of Tyvek, this design is executed with
multiple pieces that are assembled & stitched.
The stitching is very well done, as is the finishing
throughout.

I love the choice of the green interior to

counterbalance the Sriracha Red. You get six card
pockets, plus two slots behind them for 8-10
cards on deck if you need ’em.
Look how thin! There is barely any weight to this
or any of the Dynomighty wallets, and zero extra
bulk to overcrowd your pockets.
Here I have the same wad of bills from the Might
Wallet picture stuffed in the billfold for reference.

Performance
I used the Dynomighty wallets for the past
month, trading them off for work and travel, and
I have been very pleased with the performance of
each one. The thin lightweight design is fantastic
in all the models for bulkless carry.

I do think that each design has its specific

optimal use case:

The Mini Mighty is exclusively for the

minimalist. You’re not getting much more in
there than a few cards. Four cards will ride
securely in the slots without falling out,
with that back pocket for a couple of bills, a
transit pass, or similar things. This is a
great wallet for a dressy occasion too where
you don’t want that bulk to drag down your
style.
The Mighty Wallet is a great all-around
EDC wallet, but I feel that it works best for
those that favor carrying paper over lots of
plastic. You’ll get 4-6 cards here, but the
double-billfold design is made for quantities
of cash and receipts. Pulling those cards out
in a hurry can be a challenge as you kind of
have to pull them out of the sleeve, select
your card, and stuff the rest back in.
The Stitched Billfold is for those that are
used to carrying some cards and cash.
You’ll get 8-10 cards in that easily with
quick & easy access. If you prefer a
traditional wallet style but want the benefits
of the lightweight Tyvek, this is your jam.

The Tyvek does its job as advertised. It’s tough as

hell. But it will show signs of wear pretty quickly.
Here are a couple of closeups of my billfold. The
Tyvek isn’t losing any of its staying power, and
the stitching is solid. But you can see that
wrinkles have popped up and I’m getting some
wear-off of the printing around the edges after a
few weeks of use.
This is pretty consistent with what I have seen in
previous reviews of Tyvek-style wallets.

What I like
Clever functional designs
A broad range of bold graphic options
Tough as nails, yet super slim and
lightweight

What I’d change

Wear on the designs shows quickly on the
high-contact edges, but doesn’t impact
performance
 Final thoughts
Dynomighty is the originator of the Tyvek wallet
concept, and these designs feel much more
substantial & refined than some competitive
products I have reviewed. Their range of graphic
designs are bold & interesting, and you have a
great starting price point at under $20. I’m
actually looking forward to experimenting with
the custom options using some of my artwork as
well… the gifting possibilities are endless!

Price: Prices vary based on size and style

starting at about $16.00. Custom printed wallets
are available for an additional charge.
