Picked this up for a trip to Europe and used it daily for two weeks. It worked perfectly. I wore it with the contents portion on my lower back so it was easier and less questionable-looking to access documents or cards I had stored there. My only recommendation would be to shorten the zipper pulls as otherwise they can tickle! The belt is adjustable and soft, and I didn't really notice the belt even being on most of the time while walking around the cities.

I wore this regularly during my two-week trip through Europe and I found it an extremely useful item to store my money, IDs and credit cards. I spent a lot of time in Barcelona, Catalunya, and since I had heard in advance about the pickpocket problem throughout the tourist-heavy areas of the city, I bought this to be prepared. This product was convenient and gave me a little more peace of mind in crowded areas.

This belt is easily worn around the waist, and you can either wear it on the outside of your belt/pants, or you can easily tuck it underneath your pants at the waist for added security. The material is lightweight and durable. There are two zipper pouches: one smaller which is good for money, credit cards, hotel room cards, etc., and a larger pouch which can hold IDs or cards and a smartphone or small, thin camera. I was able to fit my iPhone 6 Plus into the larger pouch, it just adds more weight when doing so (I tucked it underneath my belt-line when doing that).

The only thing keeping me from giving it 5 stars is the belt. It's a little thin for my liking, and the size adjustment clasp would loosen frequently and I had to readjust the tightness regularly during the day (I will disclose I have a bit of a spare tire around the middle). The pouch was also prone to folding in half regularly at the beltline. Ideally, I would like to see possibly a thicker, better belt for this product.

Otherwise, this is a very handy valuables pouch for traveling or even everyday use, and I'll definitely be using it more frequently.

I recently decided to buy a money belt for my upcoming vacation so that I wouldn't have to carry a purse around all day. I prefer to be hands free, especially if I'm taking photos. This is just the right thing and I finalized my decision to buy this product after someone else's plus-size review said it worked like a charm. So many things on Amazon are labeled for plus size individuals, but really aren't or are sold by companies outside the US whose standards for clothing sizes is completely different to ours. The band is elastic, but I put it on not long after it arrived to make sure it would work and it isn't uncomfortably tight. I think I can wear it looped through my pants where a belt would go and my tshirt will lay right over it without problems.

Nice belt. One suggestion is to make it slightly wider so as to more easily store paper money. For exame a US dollar won't fit when folded in half so I used thirds. That just makes it a bit harder.

I was concerned the plastic buckle wouldn't hold up but it is doing find. Still, a military grade buckle like we used in fatigues would be bullet proof. Unfortunately no way to change buckles.

I completed an around the world trip using this money belt and found it great. I don't like using credit cards or ATM's when traveling in third world countries, I prefer cash. This money belt held $10,000 in new $100 bills plus my passport and a single credit card. I only took it off at night. It was comfortable, inconspicuous, and secure. The tan color blended well with my clothing. Access was easy when I needed to duck into a bathroom etc to get cash. I have visited over 40 countries and this money belt has never failed me. I don't like visiting banks,( you're an obvious mark), same with ATM's. credit card fraud is rampant so I rarely get my MasterCard out. Cash is king. This wallet makes it all workable and safe to carry your valuables. Highly recommended. One caveat: the RFID material shows up as possible metal on airport X-ray machines. This ONLY happened at a USA airport, not the other airports I transited through.
