Hawbuck Lean DCF Wallets – Summer Sale  

I haven’t run a sale since Black Friday of last year—overdue—so Backpacking Light members, take 15% off any order with code “BPLSUMMER” until the solstice, June 21st

I couldn’t find the wallet I wanted, so a year and a half ago I started making them. I believe I make the best ultralight wallet out there, and strive to keep it that way. They weigh 5 grams. I sew them in batches of a dozen or so at a time.

$30 USD, Shipped Free Worldwide

Thank you,

Wes Cox

Free bump for my favorite wallet. I have almost a year on mine and it’s doing great. It would be hard for me to exaggerate how much I like this wallet.

Still using my Hawbuck from last year as well.

The only noticeable wear are some sort of fibrous threads along the perimeter. Perhaps it’s the dyneema? I’m not sure.

I could always just trim them off with scissors but so far haven’t bothered.

Stitching and everything else is holding up well.

David, I had some fibers a few months ago. I ran the edges of the wallet over a lighter quickly and they have not reappeared. :)

I too continue to use mine as my daily wallet. Holding up great with same very minor loose dyneema thread issues as David and Matthew.  Highly recommended.

Matthew, I did the same thing with those fine Dyneema fibers that eventually appeared along the far edges.

I’ve considered doing a tutorial, but held off, it seemed risky to promote taking flame to Dyneema. You’re right, it works great— just have to keep some distance and keep it moving. I’ve found that a soldering iron is a good option, a bit more controlled.

Great to hear the good reports! Thank y’all.
