eagle creekUndercover Hidden Pocket - Travel Money Belt Deluxe for Men and Women, Khaki_DLX

One of the best purchases you can make. I bought this based on reviews and advice from friends about pick-pocketing in Italy. This is VERY light weight, constructed of good fabric. The waist clip is strong, and the zipper is of good quality. There are 2 pockets inside the zipper to separate out your passport with other currency. I put 4 passports, 1 credit card + some cash in the pouch and it fits snugly. I wrapped it around my waist on top of my inner T and tucked it under my outer shirt. It is not totally invisible as some other commented out, but it is not obvious - people may think that you are just now developing a paunch - a slight bulge.I had it on my for 8 days straight, from 8 AM till 11 PM and it became part of my body - after a few minutes of use, I had to check once in a while if I had it because it was so comfortable to use and you would not notice its presence. You can also push it down a bit into your pants and use the trouser to provide additional coverage at busier places. I was in Italy in August, and I was dripping sweat all the time, but this baby (yes - my wife started calling it my baby because I got so attached to it) stayed dry. It was very comfortable to sit with it.When I bought it, my wife did not like the idea of a waist pouch and wanted a neck pouch which I bought from Amazon - one day I tried it and that did not feel as comfortable as this, nor was it as concealed as this.I got so used to it that I refused to remove it while in Switzerland, a much more safer place than Italy, and used it to put my passports on my flight back to US. I threw it in the washer after I came home, and it came out clean. I am seriously giving up my wallet for this for daily use.I strongly recommend this for everyone going to places that are known to have pick-pocketers. I am going to use it on all my trips - even to the safest of places mainly because of the convenience. And I will order one more just in case this finally breaks.Finally, as a side note, in spite of what everyone told and wrote about Italy having pick-pocketers, we did NOT experience anything like that. We were always aware of our surroundings, but we did not feel even once the threat of someone stealing from us. Maybe times have changed, or we were lucky.

I was looking for a comfortable money belt that my teen daughter would agree to use on her upcoming trip to Italy. She is not excited about the idea of using a money belt because she says it looks like a fanny pack. We first ordered another kind which had to be sent back because it was uncomfortable on both of us. A friend mentioned having a silk money belt and I found this one and ordered it. She is still skeptical about why she needs a money belt at all, but thinks the black color is much better and you don't even notice it when it's on. I think this belt is great. It's lightweight and soft, but sturdy. It doesn't feel big, but I can fit a passport (inside a sleeve) in it and an iphone 6 and it doesn't bother me at all. I feel like you could wear it either under a shirt or jacket (and not access it during the day but keep it hidden) or use it over your clothes. It's not "stylish" per se, but it's pretty nice-looking, high-quality material and good buckle and zippers. I even put it on where the most of the belt was tucked inside the top of my pants (sounds weird, I know) and it was quite comfortable. I am ordering a second one for my other teen daughter to use on a family trip to England and France in the fall. It's pricey, but I think it's worth it. I can't imagine that there is a better money belt out there.

Good quality and goods every thing nicely. Comfortable against skin if hiding under shirt.

Worked pretty good during my two weeks in Europe. All the travel books said Europe was really safe but be careful of pickpockets. So I picked this up. Worked pretty good to keep my passport and Euros in. Never felt unsafe while traveling or had any issues. This item did get a little warm in the humid climate of Rome but not too bad. The material is good and didn't irritate my skin. The zippers are a bit on the cheap side and probably wouldn't hold up for more than a couple of trips. It also was cumbersome to get things out of it, but thats just inherent with this type of security.Pros:Softeasy to concealHolds all your essential documents and cashGood for the price pointYou wont get pick pocketedCons:Cheap zippersflimsy buckleBelt was a bit difficult to get just rightCan get hot in warmer climatesYou know your wearing it

I bought this for a trip to Europe. I'm from the U.S., and I heard that pickpockets and thieves are common in big cities, much more so than in the U.S. So I bought this money belt and put my passport, driver's license, credit cards, and extra cash in it. A money belt is one of the best ways to hide valuables. It can be worn under your shirt or under the waist of your pants. I found it the most comfortable and invisible under the waist of the pants. It was so comfortable I often forgot I was wearing it. It has a very secure fastener, so I never had a problem with it coming off while I was walking around. In fact sometimes I had some slight difficulty getting it to release, but that wasn't a big deal.I was on my feet pretty much all day when I traveled, so I was worried that it might get sweaty and my money and passport would get wet. This turned out to be no problem. Everything inside stayed dry.The only problem with the money belt is that it is difficult and somewhat embarrassing to access in public. I found the best thing was to also carry a wallet with enough cash for one day in it, and all my other cash and credit/debit cards stayed in the money belt most of the time.As for the construction quality, it appears to be well made. I only used it for 2 weeks so far, but in that time I never had a problem.I highly recommend this product for travelers to high theft places.
