    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.

    I like it. From someone who has been a victim of pickpockets twice in my life, I think this wallet serves it’s purpose.

    1. The material of the side that is against your skin is comfortable. I barely notice that it’s there at all. I mean, it’s not rubbing against my skin or irritating it or making it itchy. This is a big plus.

    2. I like the 2 different mesh pockets that’s inside. This was a surprise to me for it is not mentioned in the description. I put and organize my cards there effectively.

    3. It will only get bulky if you put too much in it. I am happy with it’s capacity. Cash, some coins, all my cards, and receipts are all good inside. I make sure to take out my receipts that I want to keep when I get home.

    4. Pulling out of my pants takes getting used to. At first, it’s kinda embarrassing for I putting my hand down my crotch and pull something out…wink, wink! But I get over it. A very small price to pay for safety.

    5. Another small price to pay, those 2 fabrics where you insert your belt or the string of my sweat pants will not match your belt most of the time. If you are dressing fancy for a night with some colorful fancy belt, these 2, black and tan straps, will kinda hurt your belt look. But again, I’ll take it.

    6. I guess the only thing that I can imagine, and this has not happen yet, is if I would forget to put it back my pants if I am in a hurry. Say just paid for a train ticket and trying to catch the train that’s just about to leave. Worse if I forget to close the zipper and I’m sure all the contents will spill out if I run for that train.

    I leave for China in a few days and this just arrived. I didn’t want a bulky money belt or a holster bag and this seemed to be just the ticket. I hadn’t read all of the reviews before, but now I have. As one reviewer said, I too was surprised to see the two mesh pockets on the inside. Since it is not mentioned in the description I uploaded a photo showing the pockets. I do agree with one reviewer on the zipper. It is vertical and you pull it up to close it. It would be better if it pulled down to close so as to better prevent it from easing open during your travels. The odds of that happening are probably minimal, but there is always a chance. That is such a minor quibble that I gave it five stars anyway. I’ve been wearing it for practice since it arrived with passport, cards and a bunch of money inside and I really do forget it is there. This will certainly give me piece of mind in China. To avoid pulling it out every time I need money I do intend to carry a few renminbi in my wallet, but the bulk of my money will be kept safe in this pocket.

    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.
