Best money belt money can buy
I was a bit skeptical about purchasing this money belt because there were a few bad reviews…. glad I went with my intuition and bought the product anyway.
I used this money belt when I went to Costa Rica for a week in May. It rained everyday, but my money, passport, and other papers stayed dry and secure in the plastic pocket. I was afraid it might be uncomfortable or sweaty with the heat, but I wore it under my waist band on my lower back and it dried out very quickly each night. It held everything I needed and was so light and comfortable I had to often check to make sure it was there! The only (small) problem I had was that the elastic for the adjustable waistband was far too long for me. I cut off a length and used a safety pin to keep the loose end up so it wouldn’t end up hanging down my leg.

Rick Steves Silk Money Belt
I wore the Rick Steves Silk Money Belt while traveling in Nepal, unfortunately while I was trekking on foot, I was stopped by mountain bandits.
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.

Stuff gets sweaty
Useful. Son was in Italy and Greece when the temps were over 100F. Though it was comfortable, when he got sweaty, the stuff inside got sweaty, too.

Fits Well
I ended up purchasing this for my brother’s birthday. As much as I thought it would be useless and uncomfortable I stand corrected on trying it out myself.
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.

What’s worse than a MONEY BELT where the catch doesn’t hold?
Nothing.
This was a piece of garbage. A money belt that releases every time it is stretched? Unfortunately I bought it from Amazon just before leaving for Asia.

Moderate usefulness
This is a good product if you’re traveling to a place with high crime and are not very aware of your surroundings. I’m a little paranoid when traveling though.

great item for a traveler
I bought this item last year for my travel around Asia. I heard about how travelers were prime targets of pick pockets and I wanted some protection.

We love Rick Steves books. The best investment for traveling. We thought his travel products would be just as great…
