Magpul DAKA Essential Review
Magpul is famous for polymer rifle magazines. They took that same texturized, reinforced polymer technology and made a wallet.
Construction
There is no stitching. The seams are RF (Radio Frequency) welded, meaning the material is essentially fused together. It cannot unravel. It is waterproof, sweatproof, and oil-proof.
Capacity
It holds 3-7 cards and some folded cash. It’s strictly for the essentials (hence the name).
Verdict
If you work outdoors, sweat a lot, or just destroy leather wallets, the DAKA is the solution.
