Eagle Creek UnderCover™ Deluxe Security Belt (Black )

Product Description

The Undercover Deluxe Security Belt has compartments for passport, currency, traveler's checks and other important documents. The outside zip pocket is designed for an airline ticket for easy access.

I wore the Eagle Creek UnderCover Security Belt while traveling in Nepal, unfortunately while I was trekking on foot, I was stopped by mountain bandits. Since most of them are very smart and exhibiting knowledge, they searched me and I had to remove all my clothes, whereas they discovered the Eagle Creek UnderCover Security Belt.

So, it doesn't always work.

In cases like that, you're better off trying to "hide" money by sewing double pockets into dirty old socks or befouled underpants and using brown or red paint to simulate a "mess" to keep bandits away from snooping any closer. I also hid my money in an old tree bark inside a plastic jug where I kept a poisonous snake I found, bandits stopped me a few times but didn't dare to bother the poisonous snake.

In India I had a local taxidermist (Taxidermy is the art of mounting or reproducing dead animals for display or for other sources of study) clean and stuff a dead rat I had found and he made me a dead rat "wallet" in which I hid my money. It worked very well.

Or you can read Papillon to see where French penal colony prisoners hid their money.

The Eagle Creek UnderCover Security Belt is really for the paranoid tourist, but it doesn't always work.

Very comfortable...I've never had one before, and this felt good. It held all I will need it to carry on our Indonesia trip.


Didn't know what to expect but purchased it based on the posted reviews. Was not bulky and comfortable to wear, actually it so comfortable, I forgot I was even wearing it.


This promises what you get... I bought this bag to travel around the world, it seems to be very resistent and made with good materials, I will let you know how does it lasts during the trip.




I spent two months wearing this belt every day, so I feel as though I can objectively comment on the usefulness of the product. I am an individual with a fine boned frame and small hips, so my comments will be directed towards that. Further, I am in the age group where female pants never come near the navel, so is also affects my review. This was a good purchase, and no matter which country I was in, with family or in a hostel, I always wore this belt.

PROS
*Great way to keep all important documents in one SAFE place
*Zippered pockets (and mesh dividers) made it easier to divide items
*Had enough room for over $1,500 in cash in varying currencies in bills and coins(so, different weights, thicknesses, and sizes), in addition to my passport, security badge, and 6 cards (credit, ID, insurance), and transportation/tourist function passes
*Material is lightweight
*Item is sturdy and well-built, feels like it will last...and it made it through two months of constant use and still looks new
*I was able to wear it 24 hours/day for two months and had no allergic reactions/adverse side-effects

CONS
*Sticking your hands down your pants to grab money isn't the most attractive or inconspicuous thing to do
*In crowded areas, it can be a hassle to actually get to the items because the money belt is under clothes. Arguably, this is why it IS safe, but I certainly had some weird looks while seemingly fishing in my pants for my money...especially noticeable when in line at busy venue
*Very difficult for women to wear, especially those of us who don't wear pants that come to the waist or loose fitting pants...not the most convenient thing to wear
*Maybe due to my body type, but this slipped down a lot and put a lot of pressure on my abdomen, I adjusted it throughout the day to no avail
*Must be placed carefully, otherwise bending is restricted depending on where your body naturally folds
*Can be irritating to maneuver around when using the restroom...pull it up, or down with pants? No matter which I chose, it was awkward and the buckle popped off quite a few times (and one time almost swung right into the toilet) and this is especially noticeable if carrying lots of coins, as I was

Overall, I recommend this for anyone traveling anywhere (I was in a country with lower crime rates than the USA), including theme parks. I work in an airport and have seen all sorts of odd contraptions for important documents, and still believe this money belt to be the best choice. As happy as I am to no longer wear the thing, the fact that I was able to put up with it for two straight months while hiking through cities and mountains is a testament to the comfort, durability, and safety, and would purchase again/recommend to others.


The seller shipped promptly. The product is light-weight, comfortable to wear, and easy to fit under clothing, but also difficult to see (an advantage when one is trying to hide money.)I'm currently studying abroad in Spain, and during one of my first lunches in Madrid I discovered that several of my companions also owned and were wearing the same or similar money belts-and I would have never guessed! I would reccomend this product to anyone that's traveling abroad or even to an urban area that has a reputation of purse snatching, mugging, etc.


I bought one of these when I came to Europe back in 2001. I've already used it several times. My family is coming to visit and I ordered some for them also. This product is easy to wear and thin enough to go undetected if you wear it under a shirt or blouse. It's very light you hardly noticce you have it on! Also, it's so important to have your important documentation and money separate from the rest of your luggage. Maybe that goes without saying but my friend had her luggage stolen. The good thing in the whole ordeal was that all her documents and money were with her in her security belt!


This money belt does what it's supposed to do. Might be better without so much stretch to the strap used to secure it in place.


An excellent product. Very comfortable since the material which comes into contact with your skin wicks away sweat. Very quick shipping and arrived in great condition. I wouldn't hesitate to order from this company again.


Required for every traveler.

Hidden money belts aren't always so hidden, but this is the best one I've used.

For the uninitiated, this works by wearing under your shirt and carrying your valuable identity cards and currency.

This really requires a bloused or untucked shirt, or closed jacket because the money belt will create a silhouette after you insert any items of substance.

The wallet is made of polyester and nylon for their abilities to resist perspiration, the hypoallergenic contact surface can become warm but not necessarily uncomfortable. The zipper is plastic nylon and the zipper pull is non-ferric, likely aluminum.The wallet doesn't have metal so it slips through airport metal detectors but IT WON'T KEEP THE ITEMS FROM BEING DETECTED so wannabe smugglers need to use something else.

With all of the miles I've traveled and checkpoints I've gone through, Eagle Creek concealed pouches and wallets are the best, always recommended.
