[Music] what's the best way to keep your credit cards cash and passport safe when you travel the default is usually a money belt or fanny pack that you wear around your waist and may tuck away under your clothes but there are much better options out there for keeping your stuff safe like neck wallets this video looks at money belts neck wallets leg and wrist wallets belt wallets bras and clothes with head in Pockets we've tried on used researched or received recommendations on each of the products we've listed we only recommend products that we would use and would recommend to friends we don't accept advertorials or payment for positive reviews foreign [Music] fanny pack the money belt suffers from a bit of an image problem money belts are usually associated with Dopey Western tourists and played shorts and white socks with sandals that said money belts can be a practical Choice Money belts headed under the clothes can hide your stash from pickpockets but they're not much of a defense against getting held up one of the first things a robber will look for is a classic money belt around your waist it can also be a little awkward removing money if you keep your money belt tucked under your pants you may want to find an inconspicuous place to pull the belt out rather than reaching into your pants at the till if you get a money belt make sure you get one with an adjustable waist that is comfortable against your skin silk is a great choice as it's soft durable and washable money belts for women personally I don't like money belts on my first overseas trip to Amsterdam I used a waste travel pack a smallish woman and even with only a passport two cards and a little cash inside the money belt was just too big to hide under my clothes I spent my whole trip looking like I was wearing a colostomy bag on top of this the money belt was made of a rough linen-like Fabric and rubbed against my skin the whole time the elasticized waist strap was also hot and uncomfortable very irritating that said I may have been better off using a smaller waist wallet design for runners I've been using the small but extremely stretchy original SB eyeballs quartz or running belt off and on for the year and it's a much better alternative to bigger money belts for me it will easily hold an iPhone 6 or Galaxy phone but squeezing in a smartphone a passport and a bit of cash is a challenge Mech wallet admittedly a neck travel wallet is still not extremely cool but at least it's not a fanny pack and travel wallets are cheap Charles and I use the neck wallet extensively in the past it has room for passports credit cards money and the like it's small enough that you can wear it under your shirt and no one can see it the most secure way to wear a neck while it is like a gun holster over your neck with one strap under one arm if you wear it only around your neck it's easy for someone to rip off the only downside is that it's a bit embarrassing to have to lift up your shirt to access your wallet if it's slung under your shoulder keep it slung in front of your body overview overall we found that a neck wallet is a good combination of security accessibility and comfort what you choose also depends on how much stuff you have for us the days of traveling with a single passport a credit card and a little cash are gone for now we now have more Essentials to carry wherever we go including four passports wet wipes kids Tylenol lollipops for air pressure changes in airplanes travel insurance information boarding passes and so on WE shove all the non-essential stuff in a small backpack and the passports credit cards and cash in the neck wallet worn under our clothes the backpack acts as a pretty good lower for pickpockets and thieves if the backpack's lost or stolen it's a hassle but nothing's too hard to replace we are going to end this video right away if you have any query or information to share please leave a comment well thanks for watching
