The best money belt in the business: looks cheap, and that's why it works

Here at WoWasis, we wuz robbed. But the Eagle Creek All-Terrain money belt saved all our money, because the robber never knew it was a money belt. That’s why we recommend it, and here’s the story. 

Savvy travelers that we are, we still got a date-rape drug snuck into our beer at an outdoor ad hoc bar in a major Asian city. Millions each year drink in these establishments, and almost all are honest. Not this one. We passed out, someone went through our pockets, and stole just about everything. But not the $300 USD we had tucked in our Eagle Creek money belt. The belt itself looks cheap, and that’s probably why it wasn’t touched. 

There are money belts and there are money belts. Some are just plain stupid, like the ones you wear around your neck (see story above for a good reason not to carry one). This one works because it looks like a standard variety inexpensive belt made out of webbing material, nothing a thief would ever care about. Its hidden zippered security pocket safely conceals currency, about 15 bills, which you fold in thirds, lengthwise. It will hold a photocopy of your passport, too. It’s so thin that it doesn’t look like it could hold any money at all. That’s another reason it works. 

It’s adjustable, with a quick release, slim cam-style buckle, and one size fits all. To size it, simply trim the leading edge to fit, then hold a match to the end to seal the cut. It’s extremely durable. We’ve used it for several years, and looks as good as new. This belt costs under $20 USD, and as our story attests, it’s the only one we’d carry. Highly recommended.
