4 out of 5 stars Great product....wonder about the elastic   June 19, 2008

Works as promised. I took it on a long trip, and kept my cash in it. The only problems is the elastic waistband, which seems a little flimsy to me, and I wonder if it will maintain tension after a few uses.

I went on a cruise and bought this to keep with me at all times. It definately has pro's and cons
PROS
Keeps your things concealed
keeps your hand free (no lugging around a purse

CONS
Uncomfortable
Doesn't stay in place
you get sweaty in the place that it's at
really flimsy...one week of wear is all it has in it!
the band is way too long.



3 out of 5 stars Not for everyone   June 13, 2008

I brought this money belt with me to China recently and only used it for two days. It was helpful on the "sleeper" (overnight) buses where theft often occurs, but it wasn't particularly comfortable to wear during the day. First, the waist belt was extremely long and would not tighten enough to fit my waist well. I'm an average-sized girl in my 20s, and when I adjusted it to fit my waist, there was almost a foot of leftover strap that dangled unpleasantly (I had to use a binder clip to keep the leftover strap secure). Second, the belt was constantly shifting. I would suddenly find it up to my stomach rather than on my waist. This became quite annoying to me (especially when having to use the restroom), so I gave up and simply carried my passport in my purse (which I clutched tightly).

The money belt was quite nice in terms of size and the material was comfortable, but note that it does not work well with everyone's body type.



4 out of 5 stars Can you put a pricetag on added security?   June 3, 2008

Whether or not one of these belts is necessary is everyone's own opinion, but if you are afraid of being pick-pocketed (or mugged), then pick one of these up. Material is comfortable and light. The "plastic sleeve" inside is a great idea, but mine "bunched up" after only a few days and it never really got back to normal. However, if you want to be safe, definitely grab one of these and you won't regret it.

I found this money belt extremely helpful on my recent trip to a third world country known for it's hustlers and pick-pocketers.

The following are my thoughts to help in your decision

Pros:
--made it easy to consolidate all my currencies, passport and important documents
--barely felt it after a hour of wearing it
--soft and lightweight

Cons:
--the plastic sheath inside is very flimsy and got all wrinkled and cannot be straightened
--sort of flimsy, uncertain how long it will last. (only use it for 1 week and already seeing signs of wear)
