Simple, comfortable, and discreet December 1, 2009 Eldaar I bought this for a trip to Amsterdam, Netherlands to store my passport and wallet. It's a bit weird to be looking into your pants to retrieve a couple of euro, but you're not exactly going to look like a local no matter what kind of money protection item you're wearing.
The length-adjustable elastic band provides enough support to stay more or less where you'd like, but it does not squeeze you at all. As other reviewers have mentioned, it's so comfortable that I forgot I was wearing it most of the time. The zippers move freely, never got stuck. The lower pouch is one open area, whereas the higher pouch is a bit bigger and is split into two equal halves.
What's also very nice about this thing is that it doesn't bulge or protrude at all. I tend to wear somewhat tighter pants and shirts than most men do, yet still you'd never guess I was wearing a security belt because it just stays close to your body (also note - I'm a lean guy, so it might not be as discrete if you have a bigger belly). I wasn't sure exactly where the belt is supposed to sit on your body - completely in your pants, completely above the waist, etc - but found that having just the zippers above the top of your pants and the rest stay within your pants works out well because it provides the easiest access to the pockets while keeping the belt well-concealed.
As a final note, my belt never encountered anything that might damage it, but because it's made of rip-stop nylon I don't think that would be much of a problem. Plus it's got a lifetime warranty. As Borat would say, "very nice!"
If you're looking for something to secure your small valuables while traveling, I highly recommend this belt. Chances are you'll never have to buy another!
Eagle Creek Deluxe security belt November 11, 2009 Thomas Eilers (Susanville, California United States) Purchased two security belts for trip to Peru.Felt comfortable and secure at first but while in Jungle, where it was very wet, the straps slipped in buckle and it was impossible to keep tension on pouch. Finally had to tie knot in strap to prevent it's slipping out. This created an unpleasant feeling bump. Spouse was less bothered by this than I was. Item is not even close to being water resistant
Very useful November 1, 2009 Adam L. Gunder (Minneaoplis, MN USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This was a great way to discretely carry my personal items around China. The elastic band was adjustable and was quite comfortable. I also bought the one that you wear around the neck. I actually found that one a little more useful. It's awkward to pull up your shirt and peel down your waistband to access the travel wallet. It went through airport security without setting off the metal detector as well. That's important to me because I hate wasting time at those security checkpoints. The only thing I would recommend is to place the important documents (passport, money, etc.) in plastic ziplocks before placing them in the wallet. You most likely will sweat while wearing this item and you will find your materials wet if you don't cover them in plastic.
Worked like a charm October 22, 2009 Richard Hogan Took it all over Italy and it worked like a charm. Hardly knew it was there.
No pockets to pick! October 17, 2009 A. Wong (Seattle, WA USA) I bought this for a trip to Barcelona where pick-pocketers are known to roam free. I stuck out like a sore thumb looking like the tourist I was -- but there wasn't an instant that I felt unsafe. I had no pockets to pick! It's true how the other reviews mention that it's tough to grab things from inside the security belt while it's on. I had adapted quickly to use the security belt as a storage place for backup things. I had my passport in there, along with large sums of cash. Daily I would move the day's expenses in cash into my wallet. That system seemed to work pretty well. At the end of the day, if you practice "security-by-obscurity", this will probably do very well. But if you're showboating the thousands of dollars in cash you have in your chic $15 security belt; don't be surprised if you lose it.
