This is a good item for the money. Solid construction. The material is very soft, and the belt itself is nice and light. The elastic material on the belt really helps it fit comfortably. I can see wearing this all day without issue. It was delivered on time with no problems. I recommend this belt highly. For $12, you can’t go wrong.

This money belt is great! I went to Ireland and Scotland for 4 weeks and literally wore this all day, everyday except in the shower. I even slept with this on and I didn’t feel it. I stayed in hostels and was 18 at the time so I wanted my important belongings safe and wearing this gave me that sense of security. It’s soft and flexible and you don’t feel it when you wear it. It held my 2 ID cards, my bank card, my passport, plane ticket and all money I had on me that I wasn’t going to use that day and you couldn’t tell I was wearing it. This money belt is super comfortable and will fit just about anyone. The belt is stretchy and easily adjustable. I love how it’s made out of silk and not stiff uncomfortable nylon like other brands. I actually gave this to my best friend who went to the UK a couple years later and she loved it. Highly recommended!

Used on bike trip touring the Loire Valley. Plastic insert worked well protecting all from sweat!
Very comfortable, usually placed pouch on my lower back.

High quality money belt that is very comfortable to wear and easy to access. My husband and I each wore one on a recent trip to Europe and all of our important items were very secure. Would recommend this item to all.

I bought this for a recent trip to Italy. It was great. I knew that my passport and extra euro were safe. I could barely feel it under my clothes. I am so glad that I bought it!!!!!

This worked great for my recent London trip. The wallet is soft and was fine against my skin. It’s also nice and thin … not bulky at all. The strap is long, but it was easily cut off.

I bought this a few months ago, and since then, I’ve used it on two vacations. It is very comfortable, and I really couldn’t tell I had it on. On a few occasions, I patted my tummy to make sure it was still there.
I especially like that it has two separate zipper pockets. I looked at several different brands on these before I bought, and Amazon definitely had the best price for the silk belt. Most places wanted just as much, or more, for a polyester best…can you say sweaty? Ick.
For those who might be wondering, this has a really long belt. Great for plus size people. But for those skinny folks out there, just grab a pair of scissors and trim it off, since the elastic belt isn’t hemmed anyway.

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.

This is an extremely nice, comfortable and useful money belt. I travel a lot, both in the United States and out. To be quite frank, I am more uneasy in an American city than I am in other countries as far as being robbed, but when traveling to other destinations, you have so much more to loose; e.g. your passport, visas, etc. You can get in a real mess without these things so why take a chance.
This belt fits perfectly. I should say it fit perfectly once I did a bit of cutting on the strap. I have a very thin waist and the thing almost could have circled me twice. This was really no problem though and a quick flick of a knife did the job.
The silk material is quite comfortable and the belt is quite safe when wet. I have been caught out in many a rain storm with mine on and I have never had a problem with leakage. I also tend to sweat like a pig in certain climates, there again, no problem.
Now keep in mind that this thing should not be used like a fanny pack as it was not built for that. Money, a few travelers checks and papers and that Is it. You cannot stuff a water bottle, medications, camping gear and a portable toilet in the thing.
I was very impressed with the quality and the price of this belt and do recommend it highly.
