5 out of 5 stars Great money belt!   September 28, 2008
This is the best money belt for the price. The best features are that it is very lightweight and has plenty of room to keep money, passports and tickets. It wraps easily around your waist and conforms to your movements--not restrictive at all. Because it is made of silk, it washes and dries very quickly. Perfect for traveling. You will not be disappointed.


2 out of 5 stars Not good for wearing on hot days   September 22, 2008
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

I used this product during a trip to India. The belt provided is too long. I had to have the excess belt rolled up and this made it rather uncomfortable. The bigger issue however is that there is a plastic liner but it is not sealed so this is not an ideal product for hot days - many of which I encountered in India. Having the belt so close to your body means that sweat will get on the product. I thought the plastic liner would protect the money and passport copies I had place in it but was surprised to find that since the liner is not sealed (ie, zip lock or some other enclosure) excessive sweat will get inside the liner. After a few days of finding soaked money and copies, I stopped using the product.


4 out of 5 stars Very Comfortable   September 14, 2008

Item was delivered fast and in excellent condition. It's very comfortable and lite to wear and there are enough compartments to fit all of my important travel documents. Great product.


4 out of 5 stars Suitable for its purpose.   September 11, 2008

Very simple and comfortable as a hidden belt should be. Main pocket should be a little larger, with plastic removable pouch/liner that is very practicle. 2 front small pockets are only good for money or maybe ID, as they are too small for anything else. Overall, good product, much better than other nylon crap.


5 out of 5 stars Functional money belt that never let me down   September 8, 2008
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

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.
