Rick Steves Silk Money Belt, Natural

Whether or not one of these belts is necessary is everyone's own opinion, but if you are afraid of being pick-pocketed (or mugged), then pick one of these up. Material is comfortable and light. The "plastic sleeve" inside is a great idea, but mine "bunched up" after only a few days and it never really got back to normal. However, if you want to be safe, definitely grab one of these and you won't regret it.

I found this money belt extremely helpful on my recent trip to a third world country known for it's hustlers and pick-pocketers.

The following are my thoughts to help in your decision

Pros:
--made it easy to consolidate all my currencies, passport and important documents
--barely felt it after a hour of wearing it
--soft and lightweight

Cons:
--the plastic sheath inside is very flimsy and got all wrinkled and cannot be straightened
--sort of flimsy, uncertain how long it will last. (only use it for 1 week and already seeing signs of wear)

Great money belt. Everyone should have one for traveling. It is lightweight, well-made and arrived as promised.

Used this in Italy. Kept our cash and passports in it. Has a waterproof plastic pouch inside. It rained really hard one day in Rome, and surprisingly nothing got wet. I will definetly use this on future travels.

This money belt is just the right size for your passport, cash, etc. without being too bulky. Lightweight and easy to wear while protecting your valuables when traveling. I bought 2 of these for gifts and liked them so well that I bought 2 more for my husband and me. They are also reasonably priced.
