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.

I used this on a 2 week trip to Germany. It worked as advertised. This is a smaller money belt that is capable of holding a passport, a very small travel wallet (only a few credit cards and drivers license), and some money. There is a mesh separator inside to give you a "front" or a "rear" area. The mesh kind of got in the way, and routinely collapsed as you tried to push stuff into the pouch.The strap has some elasticity to it, and it held around me just fine. It was comfortable to wear, and didn't hamper my movement.I found the passport had to be moved/manipulated routinely in order to pull the zipper closed. The top edge of the passport was right at the zipper opening,so I had to pull the upper part of the opening over the passport in order to close the zipper. It wasn't too bad, but it would have been nicer if the entire passport could fit in the main pouch without sticking out of the zipper opening.A few days into the trip, the zipper cover (an area that the zipper recesses into so that it doesn't rub on your clothes) failed. It became an frayed flap. It didn't really hamper the performance of the belt. My wife had the identical item, and her flap did not fail. Go figure.I'll probably upgrade to a larger money belt, as this one was a bit small for me. Fortunately, I bought it when it was on sale for less than $6. Good buy for that price.

Rick Steves recommended this belt, so I bought it. Good thing. I always had my passport, money and cards on me. Even when I slept. It's comfortable enough that I never noticed it. (I took it off when I showered and a few times, but you get the idea.) I would rather be safe than sorry. In one of the hostels I stayed at, a group of backpackers were robbed, thinking their stuff was safe in their rooms. Not so.The deluxe version was big enough to fit my valuables, and I would recommend this version over the standard one, which is much smaller. The deluxe wrapped around my lower stomach, but it wasn't that noticeable. I would carry a little bit of money in my pocket, so I wouldn't have to reach into the belt.As far as sweating goes, I travelled in early fall across Europe. I didn't have to worry about heat and perspiration. A few times, when I went running in London and Florence, the money belt did retain the moisture from my body, but it was nothing to be uncomfortable.Overall, I felt very safe and comfortable wearing my money belt. Obviously, if someone was intent on mugging me, a money belt would probably not deter them. However, as far as petty theft goes and opportunistic pickpocketing, having a money belt is just a smart idea.

It laid flat against my body and easily fit under my clothes even though I had a passport, cash, credit cards, medical information, and itinerary in it. Only negative thing was I had to get in and out of it much by feel as I couldn't see it clearly (hey, I have breasts in the way, okay?! LOL) and the zipper pulls on both sections were on the same side and I often opened up the wrong section (my money was in one section, everything else in the other). It was a kind of difficult getting money out when trying to pay for something without everyone else seeing, but out on the streets or when seeing sites everything was well hidden from any bad guys and my hands were free to take pictures,hold on to subway poles, carry luggage, and my mind was free of having to worry if my money was secure. The strap held strong throughout my entire vacation. It didn't stretch out of shape or come loose or break. Good strong product. Glad I had it with me, but I'd like to suggest that the zipper pulls be on separate ends so you know which section you're opening if you're having to do it "blindly" and trying to be secret about it.

I'm a teenager and I was looking for a money belt for my study abroad to Paris, where you need to keep identification on you at all times. I wanted something discrete and...well... not dorky like a fanny pack (sorry mom!). This was perfect and did as advertised. The belt stretches and can be adjusted easily and appropriately. The fabric is also very soft and breathable. It holds my passport, a stack of cards (debit, credit, drivers license and a student ID) along with plenty of cash if need be. You can also fit a slim phone in it, but it will be more noticeable in front if you are wearing tighter clothing.My one dislike is that the zipper is not at the top of the pocket, but slightly in front of it,so if you have bills in the pouch, sometimes they catch on the zipper. I had a 50 that suffered a slight tear as a result of me hastily zipping the pouch back up and an irate shop keeper stubbornly told me it was "broken" and refused to accept it, so that's a possible but unlikely side effect. Just be careful zipping it up and don't rush.

I bought this money belt for our trip to Italy a month or so ago after reading articles about pickpockets in italy. It easily accommodated my passport, credit cards, license, and euros with no issues. The money belt has a sturdy zipper and two pockets inside. It was comfortable to wear and did not bulge or show through my clothing. Do not travel abroad without one! Pickpocketing is rampant in Europe, especially on public transportation and on subways, in particular. We made the mistake of taking the metro near Circus Maximus in Rome and I had my old beat up wallet stolen from my left front pocket as we got off the train. The culprits were apparently crowding the exit door and they actually grabbed my leg as I was trying to get out.Luckily, all they got was $10 US and a medical insurance card. My iPhone was in my other front pocket! I like to tell people that the wallet was a decoy! :) If you need to take public transportation, the bus is probably safer. Anyway, I highly recommend this product.

When you travel in foreign places and see the sights in tight groups, it is easier for pick-pockets to bump and run with your wallet/purse/valuables. When in Rome I was bumped by a thief. So when I traveled again on a tour, this money belt went with me. It adjusts from 26 inches around to 40 inches - however, the strap is elastic and can stretch to 50 inches if needed, but then would be a bit snug). The pouch is roomy enough to fit the passport as well as the bills I preferred to keep separate from my walking around money. Bear in mind, however, that if traveling in hot weather, one generally perspires and if wearing the Undercover belt next to the skin, one can expect to have rather soggy cash.In retrospect, I would have put the passport (or a copy of it) and the extra cash in a small plastic bag before sticking it in the belt. Hmmmm... I wonder if applying antiperspirant in the area where the pouch was being carried would have helped. Oh well, that is an experiment for the next trip.

My wife and I bought these for our vacation to Europe and found them to be quite handy as well as comfortable. We were pleasantly surprised with how easily we forgot we had these on - they were that comfortable. We wore them all the time over 2 weeks while walking, hiking and traveling by train and never once did we feel the need to take them off. I hooked mine through two belt loops on my cargos - one on each side - to avoid having it ride up and that worked very well.They have a very slim, discreet profile but we were able to fit in cash, passports and international driving permits in these easily enough with room for some more stuff if needed.We didn't try to get anything out of these while out (we kept cash for the day at hand in our wallets and spare in the money belt)but it didn't seem like it would be very difficult. Just be careful with edges of notes or documents getting caught in the zipper.

This money belt was my main safe for a two week trip to Europe (Switzerland & Italy). To give you an idea of the traveling time and how long I wore this our itinerary was as follows:GenevaLake GenevaMorgesGruyereInterlakenMilanVeniceBolognaFlorenceRomePros:-Very lightweight-Doesnt cause sweating with the material it uses-Easily able to access it myself-Excellent pocket division/partitioning that allows easy blind access-After 15min you forget its even thereCons:-If you do sweat or get rained on as I have, it does stick to you and takes a while to dry (But much could be said of anything that is right up against your backside.Overall:Highly recommend this money belt as it kept my passports,credit cards and cash safe on the trip. It did bend my passports a slight bit but at the end of the trip I just bent it the reverse way and its all good now. Excellent value as well.

Very well made and lightweight. There are two compartments. The one at the back is large enough for a standard passport size and most countries' large bills. The front pocket is good for smaller USD bills or jewelery or other misc items (cards and ID). I recommend this for all long distance/long trips and any time larger sums of cash are involved or if you feel your credit cards won't suffice. I ended up separating my cash and not needing this on my trip but had it just incase I felt I needed to carry jewelery or other personal items on my body. Even if you're not wearing it on the journey there, my tip is to pack it in your carry on or luggage just incase. It's light enough to roll up and be forgotten about for the time being.It could be vital or important at some point.

A well made product and has a very comfortable soft synthetic material backing. One use I have for this is going out on the town so I don't need a jacket/wallet and can carry cards and cash around securely under my shirt and out of sight etc. The pouch has a very adjustable soft elastic belt which clicks into one side when worn. The overall dimensions are 22 x 11 cm and there's a mesh divider inside so if you want to separate cash and/or cards you can. When not worn the belt can be folded up and stored away in a neat pocket on the back meaning it won't get snagged on anything. Eagle Creek do a bigger version with an extra zipped pocket on the front but if you just want something discreet andcomfy for emergency use then this is a great money belt.

Used this daily for almost two months in Brazil, in Rio for Carnaval and other places. Never had any problems with the clasp coming undone or the zipper falling off, not sure if the others are handling it too roughly or what but I was able to use this money belt with ease. Although it was a tight squeeze I was able to fit cash, my passport and an iPhone 5c in the pouch and keep it snugly placed under the front of my pants, just beneath the waistband. I even washed it twice along with my regular laundry, air dried as the high heat from a dry can weaken synthetic fabric and plastics. I am pleased with this money belt and I'm looking forward to using it again when I return to Brazil in amonth.

I took the Eagle creek money belt with me for a 15 Day tour of Europe and it served me like a charm even through extended hikes. Very comfortable to wear for long periods of time, sometimes I would hardly feel it around my waist which would freak me out a bit because it had my passport and all my cash. The insides are slightly cramped though and the pouch is just enough to hold one passport and a few bills. Coins are a strict no no. Overall I really liked the product for its comfort and durability of the straps but it could have been a lot better if the insides had a bit more space.

I bought this for a trip to Southeast Asia and it definitely did the trick. It's fairly lightweight and didn't cause too much sweating.My only complaint is I wish it were just a little bit taller. It just fit my passport and I had a very hard time finding a wallet that could fit inside. You can carry your money and cards just directly in it (which I eventually did, but because I had a few cards and IDs with me in addition to cash, I wanted to be able to keep things a little more organized, using a small wallet. Other than that, it served its purpose.

My husband and I recently returned from a trip to Italy, where we each had one of these. I wore mine with the pack in the back, and he preferred it in the front. They were very comfortable and we both forgot we were wearing them. They held extra Euros, and my credit card without a problem. At one point, my husband tried to keep both passports in his pack, but it proved to be quite bulky. One passport wasn't, however. We were there in July and it was very hot, so we sweated quite a bit, and these didn't get stinky or feel extra warm. I recommend them!
