Thomas BatesBig & Tall Hiker Money Belt (Black)

Sturdy, and stays put. Plastic buckle easy to adjust. Belt is thinner than a tactical belt and is more comfortable because it's not as stiff. Nice to be able to buy big and trim to fit.

It's a money belt and it works. The only problem is that sometimes the lockdown tab pops out of the rest of the buckle and has to be snapped back it. For that reason, I can't depend on it as my only belt when I travel. If the lockdown tab broke when it popped out, I'd be SOL. Too bad it doesn't use a sturdy and solid metal buckle.

Received this belt for my vacation to Central America. As I am a sticky guy, I didn't even have to trim the belt as suggested in the directions. Wore the belt with paper stuffed inside, to my office job the entire next day. No issues with feeling bulky or uncomfortable after sitting for nearly 8 hrs.

Bought this to travel out of the country and wanted my cash to be on me while going through X-ray. Stated all parts won’t trigger TSA. Well, it showed up and TSA gave me a lecture about concealing anything and said they could detain me for doing this.

This money belt worked perfectly. I was able to put 22 US bills in the zippered compartment with no problem - it could have held more.The "hardware" (buckle and zipper) are not metal so there was no problem wearing it through metal detectors. I was TSA Pre-checked so TSA didn't ask me to remove my belt. None of the airport security in Africa asked me to remove my belt either. It was a load off my mind to be able to carry quite a bit of cash without fear of pick-pockets or having to leave cash in my hotel room (only the very last hotel I used had an in-room safe that worked properly).The buckle is plastic (nylon?) and feels like it might not be durable, but I had zero problems with it on my 3 week trip. This particular belt is quite long (big & tall). Just cut it to size and melt the cut edge with a lighter to prevent fraying.
