The Bottom Line

The LL Bean passport organizer is a seemingly small affair that opens into a virtual travel toolkit. As a passport holder only, it's a little expensive because it's a lot more than that. Using this multi-featured travel accessory solely as a passport / ticket organizer is impossible, anyway; no sooner will you decide in which of the seven pockets to put your passport then you'll be filling the rest.

If you call it a travel wallet, however, the LL Bean passport organizer is almost perfect.

Guide Review - LL Bean Passport Organizer

How do I love this passport organizer / travel wallet? Let me tell you the ways I used it on a recent trip.

    Back open pocket - boarding pass, itinerary, maps
    Front zippered pocket - passport (periodically - it floated), picture ID and coins
    Inner "top" zippered pocket - folding money
    Inner "lower" zippered mesh pocket - more coins, gum, personal stuff
    Two pen sleeves - well... pens
    Inner sleeve pocket - receipts, stubs, scribbled notes
    Inner mesh sleeve pocket - travel journal
    Inner ID sleeve - ID tag and hotel's / hostel's / tour director's business card
    Six credit card sleeves - debit card, credit card and my business cards
The only question: with what do you fill your cargo pants pockets now?
