Are the Stealth wallets really the slimmest in the world?
TL/DR: We believe so, yes! There are many, many wallet companies that claim to be the thinnest in the world but have thick materials or minimal capacity, hence our whole reason for existing. As the Stealth Razor wallet is about a third of an inch thick when full, and since the Stealth Leather wallet comes in at .43 inches at full capacity with 8 cards and 4 bills, they are definitely the thinnest. All that said, every Stealth Wallet features RFID-blocking technology, and many of the “thinnest wallets” lack that crucial component.

How are Stealth wallets so thin?
A magical combination of radically innovative (and patent-pending) engineering, standards of excellence so high we measure materials in fractions of a millimeter thick, and a mostly healthy obsession with technical textiles. We built this as much for ourselves out of real frustration as for anyone else.

Do the Stealth wallets block RFID scanning theft?
Yes! All Airo Stealth wallets feature RFID-blocking composite lining to keep you, your identity, and your sensitive data safe from unwanted intrusions and theft. Feel free to take adventures without concern for data security.

When will I receive my Stealth wallet?
If all goes well and our campaign is successfully backed when it ends in March, we’ll be in production in April and May and celebrating with you when we deliver your wallet in June! Feel free to look at the timeline and risks below as well.

Is the Stealth Razor wallet waterproof?
The Stealth Razor wallet is made of water-resistant ballistic material, but cash and cards will still get wet if fully submerged. Allow the wallet’s interior to air dry if it’s ever submerged completely. If it ever gets dirty and needs to be cleaned, wipe it down with a wet cloth just like you would a table top and let it air dry. Our team member Jake ran the Honolulu marathon with his Stealth Razor and he sure got sweaty!

Does the Stealth Razor wallet float?
The Stealth Razor may float or slowly sink depending on how it’s filled with cards and bills. If it is submerged in water and needs to be dried out quickly, remove cards and bills and pour out any water initially trapped in the card slots. Air drying is always best and doesn’t take long.

Do Stealth wallets fit international currencies?
The Stealth Razor and Stealth Leather wallets fit bill currency dimensions up to 2.72 inches wide/tall (69 mm) and 7.14 inches long (181 mm). US Dollars and Australian Dollars fit perfectly. Canadian dollars are a bit snug but do still slide in and out (we tested). We hope to offer wallets that fit currencies of larger dimensions soon in the future.

How long will Airo wallets last?
The Airo Collective team designed our wallet line after growing frustrated with the poor wearing of the stitching, tearing, and stretching of other wallets. We design our wallets to buck the trend and actually last through regular everyday use - better for you and better for the planet. We aim to make wallets that last longer than any other on the market. Period.

How sustainable are Airo Stealth wallets?
We embrace the cradle-to-grave philosophy of sustainability from design all the way to the end of the wallet’s life-span by using the most sustainable and ethically-made materials available, the fewest materials possible for the smallest footprint, and the strongest materials feasible to make better products that last longer. In every opportunity, we make the more sustainable choice.

Where does the leather come from in the Stealth Leather wallet?
Every leather skin used is a byproduct of the meat industry. We source our top quality Cabretta leather directly from a nearly 200-year old tannery in the UK known internationally for its premium performance and high-fashion leathers featured in everything from MLB batting gloves to military combat boots. The tannery is certified by and a leader in the Leather Working Group, and their production is certified as complying with the environmental standards set by ISO 14001, the International Standard for Environmental Management, and accredited to the quality management system ISO 9001.

Will the Airo Stealth wallet fit business cards?
Our card slots are engineered to fit all cards the dimensions of a credit card. Any smaller-sized cards should work fine but would not be dimensionally tight when stacked in the card slots. Larger cards like US-sized business cards are typically too wide for the wallet to fold flat when closed, but standard international business cards fit perfect. You can purchase international-size business cards easily from companies like Moo.

Will the card slots stretch out over time?
We have all dealt with the frustration of the card pockets in leather wallets stretching out over time and cards getting looser. Because the material used in Stealth wallets was designed for military and industrial applications, there is only a 3% stretch factor, which is nearly imperceptible in the card slot. Normal leather can stretch up to 75-100%, so you will see almost no stretching comparably.

How does the cash bungee not curl or pull on the inner corners of the wallet? Is the cash bungee as durable as the rest of the material?
The material we selected for the cash bungee loop is the optimal balance between its necessary percentage stretch factor and resistance to fraying/wear and tear (high denier). Because of the patent-pending offset card slots, once at least one card is placed in each slot, the wallet is firm from edge to edge when folded shut and stabilized when open, and this unique layout holds the bungee in place.

What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
