Travel Money Belt

If you are like most people, you lose stuff.  And if you are like me, you lose stuff at the worst possible moment.  That is why I bought a travel money belt when I recently when on vacation because I knew if anyone would lose their valuables, I would be the one.

I want to show you some of the best deals I found on money belts while I was looking on Amazon.com.

The most popular travel money belt anywhere online is this Rick Steves Silk Money Belt.  Of course, Rick Steves is the host of the widely watched television series Rick Steves’ Europe.  Rick has written more than 30 renowned books about European travel, so if he comes out with a travel item, you would do well to pay attention.

One of the things he stresses on his series is to always pack light.  That is why this money belt is made of light yet very durable spun silk.  This particular belt can be worn around your waist (under your shirt or pants for even more ant-theft protection) or around your neck.  The elastic strap and the neck cord adjust very well to your body type, and it is very easy to clip on and off.  It is moisture proof so that your contents stay protected if you get wet, and it is has two highly concealed zipper compartments for your valuables.

As I mentioned earlier, this Rick Steves travel money belt is the most popular one online.  On Amazon, it has more than 130 customer reviews, and they average out to give this product a 4-star rating.  Customers say that the silk is much more comfortable than the polyester so many manufacturers use.  And this will actually fit people of all sizes whether small or large.  One customer wore this during their entire vacation to Costa Rica during the rainy season, and they just raved about how dry it kept the valuables.  Whether you need a secure place to keep cash, credit cards, or passports, this travel money belt serves the purpose extremely well.

Oh, yeah.  Let’s talk about the price a little bit.  You can purchase this product online for around $10.  That’s right!  Just $10!  Now tell me, how much hassle would it be to lose your most valuable possessions in a foreign country?  I can’t imagine it would be quite distressing, and you certainly don’t want to find out the hard way.  So don’t take a chance.  Get a money belt that can keep you and your possessions safe and secure.

Another great travel money belt you should look at is this Eagle Creek Deluxe Security Belt.  Now this money belt is a bit larger and heavy-duty than the Rick Steves’ product, but it serves its function very well.  It uses Softseam Construction which makes it very comfortable against the skin, and it has a moisture barrier to keep your valuables dry.  It also comes with two concealed pockets, and the elastic waist band allows it to fit snugly and securely around your body.

Customers write about how comfortable this travel money belt is.  One person said they wore it 24 hours a day for more than 2 months during their European vacation.  You know it has to comfortable if someone is going to wear it that long!
