Hiker Travel Money Belt

Really like the belt. The buckle feels kind of cheap, but I haven't had any problems with durability. Purchased for an overseas trip, but I still find myself wearing it from time to time. I can fit a copy of my passport, some cash and a tiny pocket knife in the belt. Very nice to not have to take the belt off for TSA/airport security because it there is no metal. I would buy again.

Worked great for our 5 months of traveling Europe

Bought this for my husband to use on a trip recently. Yes, you have to fold the bills in thirds for them to fit, but that should be expected otherwise the belt would have to be so wide it would likely not fit through belt loops. I can't recall now exactly how many bills fit, but I want to say it was roughly 10-12. The zipper closure is secure and my husband had no problems with the plastic clasp. However, it did set off an alarm going through airport security. When he walked through the detector and it went off the belt never crossed my mind because I felt certain with a plastic buckle and no metal parts it was not the problem. After he took it off, he went through just fine. I didn't think this belt provided RFID protection, but there is apparently something there that caused it to set off the alarm. On the way back, he made sure to not put on his belt until after clearing security.Overall, I would recommend this as an inexpensive way to conceal cash. It was only used on the one trip so far, so we can't speak to how well it will hold up with multiple uses, but for the price even if it only holds up for a couple of trips it is still worth the money.

Nice simple belt. Good for casual wear. You have to fold bills over twice to put them in the zipper so my only wish would be to make it a little wider. The zipper doesn't stick out or irritate you when wearing them. If needed, you can cut the end off and melt the edge with a lighter to make the belt shorter (if needed). The clip stays fastened but comes undone easily - just pull the end of the belt and it pops open.

This thing worked great for me. I liked that the buckle was plastic and indeed, I passed through security checks with the belt on in at least three countries and was never asked to remove it. I was initially worried that the process for shortening the belt would not leave a professional-looking end, but I followed the instructions (simple, cut then sear with flame) and it looked fine! I think I recall people saying the space inside is small, and it is, but that's because the belt is 1-1/4" wide (you know, like the width of *actual* webbing and webbing belts) and not 1-3/4" wide like most (all?) of the others. That's actually why I ended up buying this particular one. The others, to me, looked like they could be easily identified as "money belts" by their awkward looking, non-standard width. What's the point in "hiding" money in your belt when your belt screams "I'm designed to hide stuff!"? Anyway, the width dictated that US currency be folded into *exact* thirds, and the Thai Baht I was stashing had to fold into fourths. Still, with plenty of length to place several bills end to end (perhaps 4) I found it easy to overlap a little and put plenty of bills inside. And I found the belt comfortable to wear, which I think wider belts may not be. All in all, I was happy with the purchase and found it to meet my needs.

I bought this belt to replace one just like it on which the plastic buckle broke. The belts themselves are decent quality, but the flimsy plastic buckles break easily. Don't know if that would be the case with this one, though, it was too small and I can't use it.

As is, this belt is just the right length, so no trimming required. The latch works easily and holds securely. I have three different colors of these already and am working on getting some more. Great for everyday wear..

Had a different version of this belt that I bought at REI 3-4 years ago. Wore it a lot in the summer. Very durable/reliable. I accidentally stepped on the buckle with a hard soled heel and it broke. Great belt, I think it may have been a Bison brand.Ordered the identical one that I am reviewing last January 2017 and the buckle broke snapping it closed this past December 2018. So it lasted almost a year. Wore it a lot in the summer. Thought it might be a fluke as my original belt was very durable so I thought nothing.Ordered a replacement one 1-26-18 and was putting it on for the first time yesterday with my ski pants and the buckle broke when I closed it. Either there has been a change in design of some sort, like maybe a different chemical composition for the plastic used, or this was a mis manufacturedproduct. I missed the return deadline by a couple of days. Will likely look for a replacement after I return from ski trip. Glad this wasn't the only belt that I brought on the trip!!
