I have actually bought this product and used it on a 2 week backpacking trip in Europe. I am a slim female. I liked the concept much more than traditional money belts and felt very safe while using it. HOWEVER, I would not recommend this product for many young women. If you wear jeans or pants that are tight at the thighs, like I do, then the outline of the wallet will clearly show. I used it for about half of my trip and by that time, I felt safe enough to discontinue using it.
It is big enough inside to fit a passport as well as money, cards, etc. The flaw is not in the design but simply that my pants are tight on the thighs and that doesn’t work well with this product. I do recommend this to men and anyone who cannot stand a regular money belt but still wants security. It appears durable and is certainly functional. I will be using it again this summer, but only when I absolutely have to.

I was impressed the reviews, bought it, and took mine to Europe. Big mistake.
Issue #1: After a week of use, one of the straps’ stitching came completely undone and fell to pieces. If I had not been using both loops, I would have lost my passport and my money due to this product’s inadequate, sub-standard stitching. By the way, I am a very “casual” traveler and this piece had very little wear when it came undone.
Issue #2: For all of the review’s about the product’s design excellence, there is a no-brainer detail somebody completely forgot to address: the zipper zips vertically rather than horizontally. So, if the zipper is compromised while under your pants, bye-bye passport and money. This makes no sense at all.
Issue #3: The idea of a product that loops around your belt and hangs under your pants is great, until you have to go through Security at the airport where they make you take off your belt. Bye-bye passport and money. This product should be designed to hang on belt loops, not a belt.
Very disappointed with this product.

Bought this for my world traveling son. Looks pretty sturdy. Easy to access valuables but could get bulky for those that stuff too much in their wallets.

wearing this I felt very secure in Europe for two weeks. Many times we were pressing against bodies in subways or buses with your hands bracing yourself on the bar or handle overhead, exposing your pockets. I never felt “tugged” by an intruder. I think when they see the evidence of a money protector such as this, they feel defeated and do not even try to take it. My passport, cash money and credit cards were safe. The only way a thief could have defeated it was to knock me out and take it when unconscious.
