4.0 out of 5 stars Great for ease of mind, but..., March 27, 2009

This review is from: Eagle Creek Travel Gear Deluxe Security Belt (Apparel)

I spent two months wearing this belt every day, so I feel as though I can effectively comment on the usefulness of the product. I am an individual with a fine boned frame and small hips, so my comments will be directed towards that. Further, I am in the age group where female pants never come near the navel, so is also affects my review. This was a good purchase, and no matter which country I was in, with family or in a hostel, I always wore this belt.

PROS
*Great way to keep all important documents in one SAFE place
*Zippered pockets (and mesh dividers) made it easier to divide items
*Had enough room for over $1,500 in cash in varying currencies in bills and coins(so, different weights, thicknesses, and sizes), in addition to my passport, security badge, and 6 cards (credit, ID, insurance), and transportation/tourist function passes
*Material is lightweight
*Item is sturdy and well-built, feels like it will last...and it made it through two months of constant use and still looks new
*I was able to wear it 24 hours/day for two months and had no allergic reactions/adverse side-effects

CONS
*Sticking your hands down your pants to grab money isn't the most attractive or inconspicuous thing to do
*In crowded areas, it can be a hassle to actually get to the items because the money belt is under clothes. Arguably, this is why it IS safe, but I certainly had some weird looks while seemingly fishing in my pants for my money...especially noticeable when in line at busy venue
*Very difficult for women to wear, especially those of us who don't wear pants that come to the waist or loose fitting pants...not the most convenient thing to wear
*Maybe due to my body type, but this slipped down a lot and put a lot of pressure on my abdomen, I adjusted it throughout the day to no avail
*Must be placed carefully, otherwise bending is restricted depending on where your body naturally folds
*Can be irritating to maneuver around when using the restroom...pull it up, or down with pants? No matter which I chose, it was awkward and the buckle popped off quite a few times (and one time almost swung right into the toilet) and this is especially noticeable if carrying lots of coins, as I was

Overall, I recommend this for anyone traveling anywhere (I was in a country with lower crime rates than the USA), including theme parks. I work in an airport and have seen all sorts of odd contraptions for important documents, and still believe this money belt to be the best choice. As happy as I am to no longer wear the thing, the fact that I was able to put up with it for two straight months while hiking through cities and mountains is a testament to the comfort, durability, and safety, and would purchase again/recommend to others.

The Eagle Creek Deluxe Security Belt is a fine product which meets all my expectations.Wearing it in very hot weather, I have found it to be very comfortable. The belt is well constructed and the price is fair.

5.0 out of 5 stars Money Belt, September 10, 2008

The seller shipped promptly. The product is light-weight, comfortable to wear, and easy to fit under clothing, but also difficult to see (an advantage when one is trying to hide money.)I'm currently studying abroad in Spain, and during one of my first lunches in Madrid I discovered that several of my companions also owned and were wearing the same or similar money belts-and I would have never guessed! I would reccomend this product to anyone that's traveling abroad or even to an urban area that has a reputation of purse snatching, mugging, etc.
