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.

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.

This is a good item for the money. Solid construction. The material is very soft, and the belt itself is nice and light. The elastic material on the belt really helps it fit comfortably. I can see wearing this all day without issue. It was delivered on time with no problems. I recommend this belt highly. For $12, you can’t go wrong.
