Ridge backs every wallet with a lifetime warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship, and their customer service has a strong reputation for no-hassle replacements. The wallet has a devoted following on r/EDC and r/BuyItForLife, and the titanium version holds resale value well on secondary markets.
