Belt Too slippery

Reviewed by jake hall, 2010-03-05

The belt was too slippery, the money poach itself was fine. There is nothing that can hold the belt part in place it is hard for someone that with smaller waist to have it hold in place it keeps slipping and falling over. I had to use a paper clip to try to clip the belt from dangling.

Really not necessary

Reviewed by schula, 2009-12-29

Wore this for six weeks first time abroad. Not only is this uncomfortable, but you feel and look like an idiot. Dont listen to the boogie stories about traveling abroad. This item is not necessary. Be smart, dont stick out like someone who has a passport and 500euros in their pocket, and you will be fine. There is more petty crime in the US than most countries, so if you feel comfortable in the states, you dont need this.

Solid travel item

Reviewed by D. G. Toeppner, 2009-12-19

This security belt fit everything that I needed (cash, credit, passport) with no problem. I traveled during cooler weather, so no issues with sweat. As with all travel belts, not the most easily accessible, but it did the job and kept all my valuables safe. There is plenty of extra elastic cord and I just trimmed off the excess to fit my frame. All in all, a good product.

Money Belt

Reviewed by Larry, 2009-12-12

Belt is thin and light which makes it confortable and less noticable. Snap seems a little light weight but performed well. I suppose it is made light so it is not bulky. No problems or regrets. I recommend and would purchase again.

Used for travel in Peru (for 1 week)

Reviewed by G. Chen, 2009-12-12

BACKGROUND:

I used to travel with a money neck bag but am now a tried and true security belt user! The neck pouch worked for me, but dangled like a pendulum every time I tried to stuff large amounts of cash in it and walk out the door. (If anything, I'm pretty sure that would just attract attention of thieves to the neck region and is a safety hazard.) By contrast, the security belt was smooth sailing, undergarment comfort; despite the fact I sometimes carried all sorts of paperwork in it (up to 5 pieces of folded 8" x 11" paper + passport + 10 bills and various small coins).

In Dec of this year, I went to Peru for a week. The country is the second poorest in South America at the time of my travel. I was a little wary of pickpockets because of all the online warnings I read so I realized I wanted a money belt of some sort to give myself a piece of mind. After doing a little online research, I heard a lot of positive reviews from this site as well as through google from former customers. After comparing prices of many online retailers (...) including shipping costs, I found that Amazon offered the best deal (free shipping with $25 purchase).

OVERVIEW:

This belt is great! It is soft and flexible. The material feels nice against the skin. For those with normal skin, you hardly notice the difference between this and regular cloth. The fabric is cool to the touch. The material is somewhat stretchy. You can adjust the actual belt length. The clip portion of the belt is made of rubber and I can see how some people may find this flimsy looking (due to the fact that it is so thin), but I never had a problem wearing it and I suspect as long as you have a thin to medium build (frame) you probably wouldn't have a problem in having it snap.

BULLET POINTS:

PROS:
* easy to hide underclothes
* smooth and soft to touch ( I slept with it on when I was in hostels )
* holds a lot relative to size (approx size of two small envelopes side by side)
* 2 zippered compartments (with subcompartments for segration)
* option of black or nude colored
* adjustable strap length
* snap on and snap off

CONS:
* for skinny/ medium sized build people ( I'm size 2-4 US women's)
* don't go overboard with coins (will weigh bag down and make it sink and be obvious you are wearing a money belt)
