A wallet particularly suited to the needs of persons while jogging or participating in other active sports, includes a flexible back panel which is foldable between open and closed positions about a folding axis. A first flexible pocket panel is secured to the back panel on an inside surface portion on one side of the folding axis of the back panel. A second flexible pocket panel is secured to the back panel on an inside surface portion which is on the opposite side of the folding axis of the back panel. Both the first and second pocket panels have unsecured edges extending near the folding axis so as to define first and second pockets, respectively. A hook member projects out of the back panel and extends over an outside portion of the back panel to engage the waistband of the wearer. Accordingly, the wallet can be worn comfortably and its contents will not be lost.
