One of our favorite startups made a wallet with a built in charger that still fits in your back pocket by Amir Ismael on Jan 26, 2018, 5:17 PM The Insider Picks team writes about stuff we think you'll like.

- Although it's best known for its underwear, Mack Weldon has extended out of what fits in your dresser drawer with the ION Wallet.
- It includes RFID-blocking technology and a built-in charger, while maintaining a slim design.
- After trying it for myself, I'm considering giving up my traditional wallet and external battery for this smart wallet on days I commute.
A wallet and phone are the two essentials people never leave without, and if you're like me, an external battery comes in third. The biggest problem I've had with external batteries is that they're easy to forget, and even when you do remember to bring one, it's another bulky item to carry around in your pocket all day.
Luckily, there's a solution to this problem: The Mack Weldon ION Wallet. Mack Weldon is a men's apparel company that created "smart underwear for smart guys." Now, the startup is on a mission to reinvent men's basics that go far beyond your dresser. Built for 2018, the all-new ION Series is a collection built to keep your gadgets from dying. While the collection also includes a weekender bag and travel dopp kit, the ION Wallet is particularly special. It's made out of durable, water-resistant industrial twill and antibacterial silver ion to keep it fresh, and a 2200mAh CHRGR battery and cable built in. Inside you'll find a single billfold, three card holder, magnetized coin pouch, and storage for the CHRGR battery. It keeps all of your valuables securely stored thanks to its waterproof zipper. For additional security, it features RFID-blocking technology, so you don't have to worry about tech savvy thieves scanning your back pocket for your identity or credit card information. Durability, security, and an on-the-go battery you don't have to think about make this the perfect wallet for travelers and commuters. 
Despite having a great experience with Mack Weldon's Silver Boxer Briefs, I was skeptical about a wallet with a built-in battery being slim enough to fit in my back pocket. After all, a charging wallet is more complex than underwear. Mack Weldon sent over the ION Wallet for me to try out and my skepticism quickly disappeared, it's the most safe, convenient, and practical wallet I've carried. I enjoy the feel of leather wallets, but as a daily commuter, security is always in the back of my mind. With the ION Wallet, I don't have to worry my cash getting wet or someone getting away with my personal information. Cool features and build quality aside, here's why Mack Weldon is a game-changer: I paid $75 for this Ralph Lauren Polo wallet, and $70 for this Mophie Powerstation XL Charger, which I carried daily. At $68, the ION Wallet is no bigger than my old wallet, has a battery pack inside it, and costs less than either. Sure, mophie's battery has a lot more power, but it's really big and usually overkill. The ION Wallet has enough juice for a full smartphone recharge while fitting in my back pocket without me having to think twice. Between that and the RFID protection people with an on-the-go lifestyle should seriously consider picking one up.
