Functional money belt that never let me down September 8, 2008
ken in the city
Recently used this in Europe for 10 days and it was very useful. First off, the weather was hot, mid 80s during the day and the belt didn't really add to my body heat (which was good). Though once it reached in the low 90s and I did sweat a little into it. However, for the most part, I didn't really notice the the belt at all once I had it on. It was pretty comfortable and most importantly, the snap on buckle never gave way or came loose. I've heard some other belts have that issue.
The design is functional enough. Its very light and the silk material makes it soft. The nude color helps conceal it even through thin linen shirts. There are two zippered compartments. The back one fits passport, bills, tickets, etc. It also has a soft plastic divider which I suppose can be used to partially shield your valuables from light rain (but it is not waterproof for swimming). The front compartment can likewise fit bills but not much wider than that. It is subdivided into two smaller pockets, which is helpful- I used one to hold tokens for transit and another general coins. Also, I could tighten it enough to not move around on my waist, but not so tight that it caused me any discomfort.
I agree one setback is that the strap is so long that i needed to twine it around itself it to not stick out of the bottom of my shirt. But that can easily be remedied by just cutting the excess strap off with a scissors.

Throughout my 2-week trip through England and Italy, this silk money belt got the job done. It was very hot during this August trip and the silk was neither irritating nor uncomfortable to wear. The slim design functioned as described and I do not have any negative comments about the product or the delivery. Thank you.
 I traveled Europe alone, this helped me feel safer. August 17, 2008

The money belt is a great concept, it was very usful, it was easy to conseal, and could hold all of my important documents. This was absolutely important for me to feel safe, and at no point did have have to wonder about passports,train tickets, credit cards and such. Few things would caution, it is that if you are traveling in warmer climates, it may be uncomfortable to wear, because of sweating, and the silk sticks to your skin. Due to this the belt may have to be washed a few times during the trip.The belt does come with a plastic inside pouch, but i found that the plastic got crumpled easily, from sitting. Although, it does help keep the important stuff from getting wet and damaged. Another warning is that the elastic waste, is a bit of cheap material, and i found that it wore itself down quite a bit during my trip. I may be only have one more use out of it , before i have to replace it. I suggest perhaps finding a belt with a better material to go around the waste. However, for sure the concept is the best for safe travels.

I bought this "just in case" for my recent trip to Europe. Only used it one time but it came in handy.I used it one day when going to the beach by myself. I never like to leave my belongings on the beach anywhere, so I ended up putting on my money belt. I have a little swim dress and just slipped the belt on underneath. I only had my hotel key card and some Euro coins in it but it worked out great while I went for a swim in the Mediterranean. I let it dry overnight and it was no worse for the wear.

I have never travelled internationally or thought i had a need for a money belt, so this concept was new to me. my main criteria were price and comfort and i believe this product met my criteria. i wore it probably 10 times and after putting it on, i forgot it was there until i took it off at night. accessing it in public was a little goofy as you had to expose your belly a little and it was a bit of a production to unbutton a few shirt buttons, expose the zipper and take out stuff, but it wasn't too bad. it has room for a bunch of paper money, your passport, a few credit cards, maybe a few plane/rail tix - not tons of room, but enough for the important stuff. i think the product does what it was designed to do well, however, if i were to do it again, i might opt for a neck walley - maybe one could fit a few more things (probably not really necessary) and seems more accessible and easier to put on in the morning. when you went to use the bathroom, it might get in the way a tiny bit but not big deal. if i do more travelling, i will consider the neck bag as a potential new purchase.
