Money Belts / Neck Wallets

If you have never thought about wearing a Money Belt or a Neck Wallet, you should really consider it.  They allow you to store money, credit cards and other important documents such as your Passport and rail tickets securely.

Modern money belts and neck wallets can now be found with RFID Blocking Technology helping to safeguard your passport and credit cards and personal information against identity theft.

These are invaluable for crowded marketplaces, airports, an airplane, buses, trains, sporting events and music festivals. A thin travel belt or neck wallet is virtually invisible to thieves.  Wearing them under your clothes for pickpocket proof protection.

Your valuables are out of site and out of mind.  You do not have to worry about thieves removing things from your pockets or backpack when wearing a belt or wallet.  Simply strap it around your waste or hang it around your neck, but be sure to wear them under your clothing.

We recommend a thin and lightweight belt or neck wallet.  You do not want something like a fanny pack that is large and bulky.  The point is to wear them so that your valuables are hidden and that it's not obvious that you are wearing one.

Trailloom Crossbody Sling Bag - Switchable Strap, RFID Blocking, Water-Repellent
As of 2026, this is the most recent bag we have been trying out and really like it. It can be worn on the outside of your shirt or under a an unzipped jacket, making it extremely easy to access things like your phone, passport, credit cards and more. When worn under your jacket, it can easily be zipped up and out of sight. It's much easier to access items compared to a money belt and as it's crossbody, it's far more comfortable than just hanging a bag round your neck.
  • Approx. Size: 8 in. x 5 in. x 2 in.
  • Switchable strap to wear on the left or right side
  • Can easily be worn under your jacket

These bags can cost between $10 and over $65, so shop around.  We found this one on Amazon for less than $15 and it's been great.  We don't see any reason to pay more than that.
