00:00What's the one piece of gear you're carrying that weighs more than it should?
00:03Your wallet.
00:05So I went down the rabbit hole and found the best deals for ultralight trail coin pouches
00:09every hiker needs, tiny zippered pouches that hold cards, cash, coins, even keys,
00:14and weigh less than a single AA battery.
00:16Here are my 5 favorites.
00:19First up, the classic, a 5.8 gram coin pouch made from gridstop fabric with a deer ring
00:24so you can clip it anywhere, shoulder strap, belt loop, inside your pack.
00:28It's $12.67, it's got 4.7 stars from nearly 4,600 buyers, and people love how the zipper
00:36runs smooth even with gloves on.
00:38If you want the one everyone else on trail is carrying, this is it.
00:43Now the budget king.
00:45This one from a tire trove is $2.39.
00:492.39
00:51It's UHMWPE gridstop, so it's stupid tough for the weight, with the same mini zipper and
00:56deering setup. It's sitting at 4.9 stars with over 4,300 sold. Honestly, buy two one for your
01:04pack, one for your junk drawer, and you're still under 5 bucks.
01:09Number three doubles as a key organizer, and that's the trick here.
01:13Instead of jangling keys loose in your pocket, they live inside this 5.8 gram pouch, silent and
01:18scratch-free. It's $10.46 with a 4.9 rating across 3,600 plus orders.
01:26Through hikers especially dig it because one clip holds keys, a spare card, and emergency cash in
01:31one spot. This next one's from Hottergear, and I like their story, the gridstop fabric is upcycled,
01:37so gear that'd get trashed gets a second life on your pack.
01:40You still get 5.8 grams, real UHMWP fabric, a genuine YKK zipper, and that handy deering,
01:48all for $7.62. Nearly 3,600 sold at 4.9 stars.
01:55Sustainable and sensible. Last but lightest, 3.9 grams.
02:00That's it. This one's made from DCF Dyneema Composite Fabric, the same waterproof stuff used
02:07on hardcore ultralight packs, with a mini YKK zipper. It's $9.85 and it's the only one on this
02:14list with a perfect 5-star rating across 3,000 plus sales. If you count every gram, this is your
02:20pouch. Those are my 5 picks, links to all of them are in the description below. If this saved you
