Money belts can be a hot topic in the travel community: to wear or not to wear one, that is the question. When it comes down to it, if having your essentials close by and on your person makes you feel more secure, or if you want a hands-free, worry-free way to carry your stuff, we say go for it — with a few caveats. Travel money belts can either be conspicuous or well-hidden. If you’re buying one for security against potential theft, you’ll want to factor in how obvious it is when you access your items. If you’re looking for more convenience, then double down on comfort and zero in on the right capacity for what you plan to carry.

We handpicked 18 travel money belts to put through a series of controlled tests in our lab. We gave a sharp eye to each money belt’s ease of use, comfort, capacity, performance, and quality. We also included a water test to mimic sweat and other water exposure. We’ll continue to test these products for the next six months to see how they stack up over time, but we’ve already got picks for this year’s best travel money belts. Whether you’re looking for a compact one for just the basics, need something while you’re off on an active adventure, or are looking for RFID protection, we’ve got a pick for you.

Best Overall

Raytix rfid money belt.

• Ease of Use 5 /5
• Comfort 5 /5
• Capacity 5 /5
• Performance 5 /5
• Quality 5 /5

It’s comfortable and easy to wear while still fitting all our travel items. 

The sizing is limited compared to other belts on the market. 

This classic-style money belt has a deceptively slim profile with five pockets. A larger main zippered pocket has two interior mesh slip pockets for stashing smaller items like coins, transit tickets, or an earbud case . There’s also a hidden back mesh pocket ideal for paper money, plus a medium front zippered pocket. We found it easy to load up all of the items on our testing list and were happy to see it fits a passport without any struggle with the zipper. The back mesh pocket is breathable and slightly padded and feels comfortable against your skin. 

The money belt has an unusual, round double-release button that seems sturdier than the typical three-prong side release buckle on most others. We didn’t feel the waist strap dig into our sides while wearing and noted the straps are easily adjustable and feel smooth. The waist strap will fit waists between 27-41 inches, and the belt comes in black as well as fun colors like bright pink and green. The slim profile did bulk up once the belt was fully loaded, though, making it easy to spot even under two layers of clothes. Still, this belt felt secure and durable, and it still looks as good as new after six months of using it for long runs.

Most Versatile

Anj money belt.

It’s sweat- and water-resistant, which makes it usable for intense workouts or sightseeing in hot weather.

The largest adjustment will only fit a 41-inch waist at most. 

The ANJ Outdoors Water-resistant Money Belt has a two-layer, single-pocket design that translates to an ultra-thin and lightweight belt. At the same time, the soft lycra material provides a decent stretch that allowed us to fit all of our tester travel items inside, but not much else (and we had to squeeze in our passport). This belt is technically designed for runners, giving the water-resistant material an athleticwear level of comfort which we appreciated. However, during our three-month test, we did feel that this belt gets pretty sweaty in hot weather, so you may want to wear it under quick-dry clothing . However, after six months of use, we noticed that sweat and water don't cling to the material and cause odor. An added feature we didn’t even know we were missing is the built-in headphone jack, though it won’t make a difference for travelers sporting wireless earbuds. The adjustable waist strap has reflective strips and fits sizes 26-41 inches. And, not only did the belt not dig into our skin, it actually also felt stylish and very secure, too. 

The Details: Lycra | 7.5 x 4.5 x 0.04 inches | 1 pocket

Best Anti-theft

Peak gear hidden travel money belt.

• Ease of Use 4.5 /5

It includes theft insurance and lifetime recovery service. 

There are only two basic color options.

This Peak travel money belt comes with built-in RFID protection lining, but what makes it a standout anti-theft wallet for us is that it also comes with $250 worth of theft protection and two recovery decals for lifetime recovery services of lost or stolen items. Recovery services are available via a 24/7 phone line and work by helping to return items to you from anywhere across the globe. We also like that we could access our items without drawing attention to the fact we were wearing a money belt. We tested the “regular” size wallet and loved how it stayed slim, inconspicuous, and comfortable even when loaded with documents, money, and other items from headphones to keys to a cell phone. In fact, when we almost completely filled all five pockets, it still felt light and never dug into our waist even while sitting. The biggest drawback for us is that it only comes in beige and black. 

The Details: Nylon | 5 x 5 x 0.7 inches | 5 pockets | RFID-blocking capabilities

Best Large Capacity

Lanney rfid travel blocking money belt.

Spacious enough to fit passports, large paper bills, and credit cards, this belt can hold all of your valuables in one place.

The included RFID cards aren’t very eco-friendly. 

This money belt has a standard money belt design with five storage areas, including a main compartment with two interior mesh slip pockets, a small zippered front pocket, and the back has a breathable, open mesh-paneled sleeve that works great for stashing paper money. We liked how comfortable the belt was, and that it easily fit all items (with room to spare) and still wasn’t detectable under clothes. The strap fits waists measuring 26-50 inches but could likely stretch to fit larger sizes. During our water bottle sweat test, it provided total protection for the items inside. Also, the wallet belt has three built-in RFID-blocking layers and comes with 10 single RFID-blocking card holders (something we’ve never seen before). But, while it’s available in beige, cream, and black, we’d like to see it available in more colors to switch things up.

The Details: Ripstop nylon | 10 x 5.5 inches | 5 pockets | RFID-blocking capabilities

Best for Active Travelers

Flipbelt classic running belt.

The discreet belt is perfect for storing essentials while hiking, working out, running, or biking.

It’s not adjustable so you'll have to commit to one of seven sizes when shopping. 

This machine washable money belt is made from a light and breathable plush fabric that feels good against the skin and has a stretchy, bounceback capability. We also found it easy to move freely while wearing it without any trouble, making it an easy go-to for active travelers although, in our longterm test, we found ourselves annoyed when getting the belt on as it flips easily. There are four pockets, and we were impressed by how much we fit inside the main storage compartment (stretchy material for the win!). All-in-all, we were pleasantly surprised at how well this performed in our sweat test, the durability and quality of materials, and how well it was concealed under our clothes. This money belt comes in 13 different colors but we do wish one of the pockets had a zipper for that added security. Unfortunately, there’s no way to adjust this band-style belt as there are no clips or buckles so be sure it fits your waist size before purchasing (and it comes in seven sizes from XXS to XXL). After six months of regular use while partaking in rigorous activities, the belt has held up perfectly and hasn't shown any signs of wear and tear.

The Details: Micropoly and lycra | 8.6 x 3.2 x 0.4 inches | 4 pockets

Best Organization

Aikelida rfid blocking travel wallet.

• Capacity 4.5 /5
• Performance 4 /5

There are two separate pockets for separating money from IDs.

The buckle feels flimsy. 

This slim money belt has two main zippered pockets, two stash pockets inside the larger main pocket, and a concealed stretchy mesh pocket at the back. The number of pockets and overall design makes it a cinch to locate items without digging (especially for smaller things like coins or wired earphones). Both zippers glide smoothly and have long, nylon pulls that made it a cinch to find and grip. The exterior fabric is tear- and water-resistant and the sweat-wicking padding on the back made it comfortable to wear as we moved around. The adjustable belt is made from an elastic material that helps to get the perfect fit, though we were left wondering how the rebound stretch would hold up after many wears. The RFID-blocking capabilities are a plus. Like many travel money belts, this one is only available in solid black, making it more difficult to conceal under light clothing.

The Details: Nylon | 11.2 x 5.2 x 0.4 inches | 5 pockets | RFID-blocking capabilities

Easiest to Conceal

Stashbandz unisex travel money belt.

• Ease of Use 4 /5
• Comfort 4.5 /5
• Quality 4.5 /5

With a handy compression band, it's easy to get a snug and discreet fit.

It runs small and cannot be adjusted.

This StashBandz money belt impressed us with its waterproof compression band design, and we liked that it was available in 11 colors. The 360-degree spandex band has no clips or belts and instead fits around your hips and waist (you put it on by pulling it up or down your body). The four pockets are divided through stitched-in seams. For extra security, one has a zippered closure at the top. Accessing the two front pockets is easy enough, but getting to the back requires some flexibility. During our spray bottle “sweat test,” the belt kept items dry and completely dried in about 15 minutes. While we found the spandex to be comfortable against our skin, the belt did ride up when we sat down and even with some arm movements. Since it tends to run small, we recommend sizing up if you’re between sizes, which may also help prevent the belt from rolling up.

The Details: Spandex | 8 x 6 inches | 4 pockets

Most Compact

Molarun travel money belt.

Thinner and smaller compared to other belts we tried, this one is best for a solo traveler or light packer.

The waist strap only extends to 46 inches and may not fit larger waists. 

This smaller, lightweight money belt is a great bargain for travelers looking to carry the basics. The classic money belt look features an open, mesh slip pocket in the back, a small front-zippered pocket, and a main compartment with two open mesh pockets. The back mesh pocket is padded, making for an exceptionally comfortable wear, and we liked how easy it was to access everything we stashed inside. The 26-to-46-inch adjustable strap belt clips around your waist in the back, though the strap is attached to the front pouch toward the top, making the pouch want to flip backward. Despite being compact, it could fit all of our testing items (though it was a tight squeeze). Because it was packed so fully, it was visible through our T-shirt and sweatshirt, so may not be the right pick for someone looking to go incognito.

The Details: Ripstop nylon | 9 x 6 x 0.39 inches | 3 pockets | RFID-blocking capabilities

Other Travel Money Belts We Liked

These travel money belts didn’t make our best-of list but still deserve a shout. Take a peek, they might just be what you’re looking for.

Venture 4TH Travel Money Belt : This is a larger-capacity money belt with plenty of pockets and storage options that made it easy to access our items fairly inconspicuously. The downside is that it made the front pouch obviously bulky and the waist belt dug into our sides and back making for an occasionally uncomfortable fit.

Boxli Travel Hidden Money Belt : We were fans of the overall design of this bag, especially how well it performed in our water testing (everything stayed dry and it dried completely within 15 minutes), but we think the minimalist design worked against the belt and they struggled to feel like they had enough space for everything they needed.

Samsonite RFID Security Waist Belt : This belt had a comfortable fit, held all our items, and was easy to adjust. It also performed well in water testing, but we couldn’t quite get over feeling uneasy about the security of the belt’s thin and somewhat flimsy elastic strap.

We tested 18 travel money belts in our New York City testing lab as well as during travels over a three-month period. Each person was given a set of dummy essential items that most travelers would need or want to fit inside the money belt. This included a passport, credit cards, cash, a cell phone, a set of three keys, and earbuds. We assessed how easy it was to put on, adjust, and wear the belts, as well as how durable the components and materials of each belt appeared. We also noted how visible the belt was under one layer of clothing and then under a sweatshirt, plus how conspicuous it felt to access the items inside. Comfort was tested while standing, sitting, and moving around. Additionally, a water/sweat test was performed on any belts that claimed to be water-repellant, water-resistant, or waterproof where we used a bottle to spray the belt until it was soaked and then checked the effect on the items inside and timed how long it took for the belt to completely dry. 

P.S. — Stay tuned for an even better gauge of how well these travel money belts perform over time, as we will continue to use our top-pick money belts and collect insights for six months following the initial tests.

Tips for Buying a Travel Money Belt

Know what size you need.

Make sure you’re buying a travel belt with enough capacity for what you expect to carry in it while also being aware that the more you can fit inside, the bulkier it is likely to become (and therefore possibly harder to conceal under your clothes). When possible opt for the most minimal design for your needs. It’s also important to check the smallest and largest possible circumference of the belt, particularly for anyone with a smaller or larger waist. 

Evaluate different materials

Travel belts are made of different materials that benefit different purposes. If you’re trekking in the rainforest, finding a belt with a solid waterproof or water-resistant shell is essential, but if you’re heading out for a city trip, rip-proof or cut-proof material may take priority to avoid the belt being snatched. Similarly, if you’re planning to do more adventurous activities that require a lot of movement and possibly sweating, a money belt made from breathable, flexible material is probably your best bet. 

Look for added security features

If you’re choosing to wear a money belt as a bag-free option for security purposes, consider buying something with extra security features. Having a RFID-blocking lining in at least one pocket can provide more peace of mind when storing credit cards and IDs. We’re fans of the hidden pocket, though they can sometimes be tough to access in an item such as a money belt. Ripstop material, locking zipper fasteners, and theft insurance and recovery are also great security extras.

Travel belts are one of the safest places to keep your money and important cards and IDs, particularly in destinations known to have problems with pickpocketing. That said, the wrong type of travel belt — aka one that is too obvious under your clothes or makes you look conspicuous when trying to access your items — may call attention to you as a tourist. This is why it is important to buy the best travel belt for your body and needs. It is arguably one of the most important travel accessories you'll want to purchase.

It may be called a travel money belt, but you can usually treat these portable security pouches like a minimalist hip pack, loading in valuables and necessities from keys and cards to earbuds and your phone. If you want to carry your passport or phone, make sure your travel belt is big enough (and you may need to take the cover off either item in some cases). 

No, you must remove the travel belt when you go through security. It will be treated like a hip pack, which cannot be worn into the body scanners. If the belt is small, you may get away with holding it as you walk through. We recommend packing the belt like a wallet in your luggage while going through security and then going to the bathroom to put on the belt after security so you don’t draw attention to the fact you’re wearing this.

Traveling is one of life’s most rewarding experiences, but carrying valuables, such as cash and passports, can be stressful. Crowded tourist spots are inevitably prone to pickpockets , and using a conventional wallet or purse makes you a target. A money belt is, therefore, an essential travel accessory, and these days they’re less intrusive, more stylish, and more comfortable than ever.

Choices vary from fashion-forward fanny packs for wearing on top of your clothes to slimline belts that are undetectable when worn beneath them. In our selection of the best travel money belts on the market, look for RFID protection, clever compartments, moisture-wicking backing, and durable, double-stitched materials.

Final Verdict

• What to Look For

Why Trust TripSavvy

Best overall, venture 4th travel money belt.

Inconspicuous under normal layers

Internal division of space

Sturdy construction

On the pricier end

Some reviews mention the strap being too thin

If you’re looking for a traditional-style money belt with a mid-range price tag and thousands of positive user reviews, this belt from Venture 4th fits the bill nicely. It features a flexible, slimline profile that lets you wear it discreetly beneath your clothes. A moisture-wicking, breathable mesh backing prevents sweat buildup, even in warm weather. The exterior features water-resistant ripstop nylon with durable double-stitched seams. 

Use the zippered mesh compartments to organize your valuables. The ideally sized pockets carry cash, credit cards, tickets, and a passport. Although adding your phone may make the belt bulky, most smartphone models should fit. The belt features an RFID-blocking lining to protect your data and an adjustable, elasticated belt that fits waists up to 56 inches. It comes in 10 versatile colors, from black to turquoise.

Dimensions: 11 x 5.5 inches | Materials: 210-denier ripstop nylon | RFID-Blocking: Yes

Best Overall, Runner-Up

Travel flame travel money belt.

Clever interior layout

Nice attention to detail

Generous warranty

Not fully waterproof

Limited color choices

The Travel Flame money belt is another excellent choice designed along similar lines. Its slim profile contours to individual body shapes for maximum comfort, with many reviewers praising that it doesn’t shift or pinch even when sitting for long periods (on a plane, for example). Made of water-resistant ripstop nylon, it has a breathable mesh back and an adjustable, elasticated strap for waists up to 56 inches. 

Built-in RFID-blocking protection is another major perk. There are three separate compartments, one with internal pockets to aid the easy organization of your credit and loyalty cards. You should be able to fit your smartphone and several passports as well. The belt features durable YKK zippers and a carabiner clip for your keys or USB. It comes in four neutral colors: black, beige, brown, and gray. A lifetime guarantee protects your purchase. 

Dimensions: 11.3 x 5.5 inches | Materials: Ripstop nylon | RFID-Blocking: Yes

Best Budget

Molarun travel money belt.

Hidden back pocket

Minimalist and functional

Handles hot and humid conditions well

The strap buckle could be sturdier

Not the best choice for plus-size travelers

Coming in at just over $10, it’s difficult to beat the Molarun travel money belt on price. And with plenty of positive user reviews, it’s a reliable choice for those who want a simple but effective product for their next vacation. Made of water-resistant ripstop nylon with double-stitched seams and good-quality zippers, it features breathable mesh backing, so you can wear it comfortably against your skin without sweating. 

There are two spacious zippered compartments on the front, the larger with two internal mesh compartments. On the back, there’s a concealed compartment for your most precious belongings. According to reviewers, it fits passports and smartphones, although not necessarily together (depending on your smartphone model). The belt has built-in RFID protection and an elasticated strap that fits waists up to 46 inches. Some find the buckle a little flimsy.

Dimensions: 9 x 6 inches | Materials: 210-denier ripstop nylon | RFID-Blocking: Yes

Best Compact

Anj money belt.

One of the best incognito options

Works for athletic pursuits

Compatible with corded headphones

No RFID protection

If lightness and an undetectable under-the-clothes profile are your top priorities, look no further than this super-slim money belt from ANJ Outdoors. At 0.04 inches in thickness and weighing in at just 2 ounces, the soft Lycra belt is unbelievably thin—so much so that it’s easy to forget you’re wearing it. One reviewer talks about wearing it under her swimsuit; another loves it because it gives her waist a cinched look rather than adding bulk like most belts. 

Despite its slimness, the belt features a roomy 7.5 by 4.5-inch pocket with two compartments for stashing everything from money to phones and passports. It even has a hole for your headphones, doubling as a handy workout belt. A water-resistant lining prevents sweat from seeping through and damaging the contents, while reflective strips add an extra protective element. The adjustable strap fits waists from 24 to 42 inches.

Dimensions: 7.5 x 4.5 inch pocket | Materials: Polyester, spandex | RFID-Blocking: No

Best Comfort

Eagle creek money belt.

Smooth, luxurious fabric

Low maintenance

Pricier than most alternatives

For those with a bigger budget, Eagle Creek’s silk undercover money belt is well worth the extra cost. Made of soft, breathable natural silk, it feels incredible against the skin—so much so that many reviewers say they regularly sleep with theirs on. No crinkling, rubbing, or itching—and a moisture-resistant satin lining for keeping sweat to a minimum, even in 100 percent humidity. If it does need it, the belt is easy to wash and hang dry. 

It features two zippered pockets that are big enough for cash, credit cards, passports, and most smartphones. The soft elastic waistband is easily adjustable and stores neatly in a dedicated slip pocket on the back of the belt when not in use, making it also useful as an organizer for your travel purse . Available in smart black or dusky rose, the money belt is covered by Eagle Creek’s No Matter What lifetime guarantee.

Dimensions: 11.5 x 5.5 inches | Materials: Silk | RFID-Blocking: No

Best Ladies’ Style

Cxwmzy fanny pack.

Chic hues and prints

Nice accents

Extra packing space

Not designed to be concealed

Weighs more than most options on this list

The CXWMZY fanny pack comes in a choice of colors and floral patterns that will likely make it popular with fashion-forward wearers. The chunky zippers are gold-colored for added style points. Unlike most of the other money belts on this list, this one goes on top of your clothes, with a bulkier profile and two extra-large zippered compartments for cosmetics, sunglasses, car keys, and cash. 

There’s an additional concealed compartment on the back of the belt for your valuables, and the elasticated waist belt adjusts to fit all waist sizes from 24 to 55 inches. The belt is made from 100 percent polyester with reinforced stitching along the seams, guaranteeing a quality product that’s as reliable as it is attractive. The only downside (for some) is that it’s a heavier option, weighing in at 8.5 ounces.

Dimensions: 9.84 x 6.1 inches | Materials: 75-denier polyester | RFID-Blocking: No

Best Men's Style

Yoder leather company hidden money pocket travel leather belt.

Epitome of hiding in plain sight

Generous, albeit narrow, storage

High-quality materials and construction

Not suitable for larger items

Among the most expensive picks

This alternative option from the Yoder Leather Company is ideal for men who'd rather not accessorize with a traditional money belt or fanny pack. Made in the USA from genuine English bridle leather, the belt looks like a regular belt whose only purpose is to keep your pants in place—and yet, the inside conceals a 25-inch zippered pocket capable of holding up to 24 bills folded lengthwise. 

You could also store passport copies and other necessary paperwork inside, although there's no space for fitting larger documents or valuables. Nevertheless, if a simple money belt is what you're after, this one is undoubtedly a good-looking choice. It measures 1.5 inches wide and 3/16 inches thick, is finished with high-grade leather polish, and features a large, interchangeable brass or polished steel buckle. It's available in black or brown leather.

Dimensions: 34-66 x 1.5 inches | Materials: Leather | RFID-Blocking: No

Best Waterproof

Crenova waterproof fanny pack set.

Three-piece set

Suitable for water parks/sports

Can be carried several ways

No inner compartments

If you’re planning a vacation on the water , you may prefer a fully waterproof money belt. These fanny packs from Crenova are IPX8-certified for submersion in up to 32 feet of water for as long as an hour, guaranteeing protection from the elements for your cash, ID, phone, and more. Your purchase includes a phone pouch and two separate packs: one fully opaque for added secrecy and another transparent and touchscreen-friendly. 

All three feature a triple seal and heavy-duty Velcro flap. Before using them for the first time, the manufacturer recommends performing a submersion test by inserting a dry piece of tissue and then placing the pack in the sink for at least an hour. You’re good to go if the tissue’s still dry after that time. The phone pouch comes with a lanyard, while the fanny pack features adjustable webbing belts and can be worn around the waist or over the shoulder.

Dimensions: 8.66 x 5.91 inches | Materials: PVC | RFID-Blocking: No

Best Active

Flipbelt classic running belt.

Designed to stay in place while running

Smooth, non-chafe materials

Easy to clean

Pockets are not zippered

Relatively expensive

Heading off on a hiking trip? Or do you like to keep fit on vacation? The FlipBelt Classic is an innovative money belt with a seamless, tubular design that sits flat on your hips and doesn’t ride up, even during vigorous exercise. With no buckles to pinch and soft-touch, moisture-wicking micropoly and Lycra fabric, it can be worn comfortably over or under your clothes and stretches to fit everything from credit cards to smartphones in multiple pockets. 

The openings in the belt are closed by turning them inward to your body. (If you want added security, consider paying extra for the zippered version of the FlipBelt.) There’s an internal key hook for keeping keys in place, and if the belt gets a little sweaty, it’s entirely machine-washable. Choose yours in sizes XXS to XXL, and opt for one of a wide range of colors, including black, hot pink, and reflective yellow.

Dimensions: 24-40 (unstretched) x 4 inches | Materials: 92 percent polyester, 8 percent Lycra | RFID-Blocking: No

Best Alternative

Zero grid travel neck wallet with rfid blocking.

Lots of secure storage

Comes with nice-to-have extras

The neck strap is not removable

Too small for some smartphones

This well-priced option from Zero Grid includes loops for attaching it to your belt. However, it also comes with a soft, adjustable neck strap, giving you a choice of ways to wear it. Made from water-resistant ripstop nylon, it has a moisture-wicking backing and is slim enough to wear concealed against your skin. Measuring 7.5 by 5.7 inches, it’s large enough for four passports, six credit cards, and most small-to-medium-sized smartphones. 

Divide your valuables among the three zippered front pockets and rear back pouches for ultimate organization. High-quality YKK zippers and built-in RFID protection add to the wallet’s overall value, as do two included recovery tags from the world’s largest lost-and-found company, ReturnMe. Attach these to your belongings to increase the chance of them finding their way back to you if you lose them. Wallet colors range from black to desert sand.

Dimensions: 7.5 x 5.7 inches | Materials: Ripstop nylon | RFID-Blocking: Yes

Lanney RFID Travel Blocking Money Belt

Compact and capacious

Adjustable waistband

Multiple ways to wear

Hand wash only

May be uncomfortable on smaller frames

Sometimes (maybe all the time), you just need a little extra room. The Lanney Money Belt offers easily concealed storage for trips when you have plenty of valuable items to keep handy and secure. With no fewer than five storage areas, including two zippered compartments and a hidden mesh pocket at the back, organization lovers and those carrying documents for others will appreciate its internal design. The waterproof ripstop nylon is built to take on the wear-and-tear and occasional surprise rainfall that traveling often throws your way. This model won't break the bank and comes with 10 RFID-blocking sleeves for added digital security.

Dimensions: 10 x 5.5 inches | Materials: Ripstop nylon | RFID-Blocking: Yes

The Venture 4th Travel Money Belt won't disappoint those looking for a standard, tried-and-true model. Thin enough to go undetected under clothing, lined with RFID-blocking technology, and built with ripstop nylon, this pick is all the best of a classic. If maximizing value for money is a priority, reach for the Molarun Travel Money Belt .

What to Look For in a Travel Money Belt

Travel money belts come in several different shapes and styles, and choosing the right one depends on your required features. Some come with built-in RFID protection, while others include RFID-blocking sleeves—useful if you use them to carry sensitive data. If you want to transport bills only, a conventional belt with a concealed pocket may be sufficient, but if you want to pack your smartphone, passport, and other bulkier items, you’ll need a multi-compartment money belt or fanny pack. Other features to consider are different fastening styles and alternative ways to wear your money belt. 

The most popular material for a travel money belt is ripstop nylon—it’s lightweight, durable, and water-resistant, all qualities that make the belt comfortable to wear and up to the task of keeping your valuables secure. To prevent sweat buildup, a backing made of moisture-wicking mesh or natural silk is desirable if you wear the belt against your skin. Belts designed as style accessories often swap out ripstop nylon for more fashionable leather or polyester. In contrast, those who require a fully waterproof belt should look for one made of PVC or another soft plastic, and fitted with leakproof seals.

Travel money belts vary considerably in price, depending on factors ranging from materials and features to brand reputation. For example, a premium-grade leather or natural silk belt will inevitably cost more than one made from nylon or PVC. The travel money belts included on this list cost anywhere from under $10 to over $60; however, you should be able to find a quality, long-lasting belt to suit most travel purposes for around $20.

Depending on materials and construction, the best cleaning method will vary from belt to belt. You should always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines. Some are machine-washable, while others should be wiped clean or washed by hand and hung up to dry. Before each use, you should check that the zippers and buckles are operating smoothly (if relevant) and that there is no wear and tear on the strap that could cause it to break unexpectedly.

Although it’s impossible to guarantee complete protection from thieves, using a money belt correctly can significantly reduce your chance of becoming a target. For ultimate security, choose a money belt with a slim profile that can be concealed beneath your clothes. Be aware of your surroundings when removing valuables from your money belt, too, since doing so in public could alert thieves to the fact that you’re wearing one and let them know where it is.

Depending on your money belt’s material and whether it has zippers, it may or may not set off the alarms on the airport security scanner. Nevertheless, most airports require you to remove all belts before going through security, including money belts. If you’re concerned about removing yours at the checkpoint, place it inside your carry-on luggage before you get there, and put it on in private afterward.

An RFID money belt protects its contents from the possibility of thieves scanning the RFID (radio frequency identification) chip on your passport or credit card and therefore stealing your sensitive data. RFID protection can be built-in by using fabrics capable of blocking RFID scanners, or it can come in the form of separate RFID-blocking sleeves. If your belt includes the latter, you must place your cards and passport inside the sleeves before putting them in the belt.

The short answer is whatever you want and can fit. Most people use money belts for traveling when pickpocketing is a concern. In this scenario, you'll want to go with only the essentials (think a credit card, maybe some cash, and your passport), as the more items you add, the less likely the belt will go undetected beneath clothing, which can defeat the purpose depending on the style. On the other hand, these accessories are also a great hands-free option and can function more like a fanny pack such as the CXWMZY bag , letting you pack more.

Jessica Macdonald is an experienced traveler who has used money belts to keep her valuables secure on her adventures around South America, Africa, and Europe. For this article, she compiled a list of more than 20 of the most popular products on the market, comparing price, features, and user feedback to come up with the category winners listed above. Preference was given to products with unique selling points and several hundred online reviews.

10 Best Travel Money Belts • Proven Backpacker Safety for 2024

While the world is mostly safe to travel, it’s an unfortunate fact that thousands of travelers are robbed every year. As backpackers, we understand the importance of keeping our valuables secure while exploring the far reaches of the globe. From bustling city streets to markets that overwhelm the senses, you want to be right there in the moment rather than worrying about your wallet!

We also want you to be as prepared as possible and having a reliable travel money belt can provide you with the peace of mind and freedom to roam without worry. In all of my world travels, I’ve only found one proven way to protect your hard-earned money. You have to conceal it and conceal it well. This is exactly why I wrote this article about the best travel money belts.

Investing in a quality money belt is an easy, inexpensive solution to protecting your cash while traveling. In a nutshell? It’s well worth the $10-20 investment.  With our expert insights and recommendations, you’ll be equipped to make an informed choice and travel with confidence, knowing that your belongings are always safe and close at hand.

Let’s look at the best money belt for travel  in 2024, so you can travel stress-free.

Quick Answer: What are the Best Money Belts for Travel?

• Wandrd Tech Bag – Best Tech Bag

Peak Travel Money Belt  – Best Money Belt for Europe

• Stashbanz Running Belt  – Best Travel/Running Waist Belt
• Alpha Keeper Money Belt – Best Money Belt for Electronic Security
• LeatherBoss Men’s Money Belt – Best Men’s Money Belt

Do I need a money belt for travel?

Buying a money belt may feel like overkill to a lot of people; others may find them redundant as you’re painting an even larger target on your back.

These are both fair points – pickpocketing isn’t guaranteed and carrying around a bulky money purse is pretty clear advertising anyway. Even the really subtle money belts are disarmed when you open them to access your cash. At this point, everyone knows it’s a belt and it’s kinda ridiculous the sight of someone rummaging through their own waist strap anyways.

Here’s the thing – you’re still at risk. Sure, 9 times out of 10 you may get away walking through a seedy street, but are you ready to cope with that 1 time?

Having you’re money stolen can really screw a lot of plans up. If your credit cards were in that wallet as well, dealing with the company can be a huge pain as well.

Having a money belt is more of an insurance than an actual deterrent. Hiding a bit of cash while traveling is a great way to relieve yourself in case the shit hits the fan. If the worst should come to be and your bag or wallet is stolen, you’ll be in better shape because you had an emergency stash.

Money belts are not huge investments either – most are about the same price as a t-shirt. It’s not like you have to take out a huge policy.

So do you need a money belt? Not necessarily. Are they convenient to use though? Yes – money belts will save you in a pinch. Like condoms, it’s better to have one and not need it than need one and not have it.

So with that being said, let’s take a look at the best money belts on the market real quick.

Wandrd Tech Bag – Best All Round Tech Bag

Quick Answer : Price: $34

The Wandrd Tech Bag offers the perfect solution to your tech organizational needs. Daily carry, short trips, are all covered with this money belt.

Each bag size has been thoughtfully designed with unique organizational elements and built out of the highest quality materials, so your gear is easy to access and protected.

Each bag has a unique webbing loop and clip system on its back panel so that you can connect any two together to create a mega bag.

You can also use this system (in the medium and large) to attach the Tech Bag to the Accessory Strap loops on the outside of the PRVKE or DUO. Wandrd also offer an elegant Carry Strap that attaches to any size bag making it a great daily carry. 

Things to note:

• Non- RFID blocking

Our team are big fans of Wandrd Gear and this tech bag lives up to the brand quality. Though this bag isn’t technically a waterproof money belt they felt it offered the best level of protection for their gear with its resistant tarp material. They love how much this little bag can fit in and the level of organisation the internal design gives them.

Quick Answer:  Price: $21.99

Why Europe? Well, because you need a bit of style in addition to theft-protection whilst backpacking in Europe. Duh!

The Peak money belt is another “not a belt” belt, fitting just around your belly under the shirt. The design is sleek, practical, and is very comfortable to wear.

What sets the Peak travel belt apart from the rest is its insurance policy. If some James Bondesque pickpocket somehow manages to get to your stuff, the company will pay you $250 (which isn’t all that much in my opinion). That said, no other security belt company I know of offers insurance, so I guess it is better than nothing.

The Peak money belt is equipped with an RFID reflector to combat electronic pickpockets.

Also, the belt is made from  210D water-resistant (not waterproof) nylon so if you get caught in a heavy rain, no need to panic.

• Not actually a belt
• Not as cheap as the Ray Tix travel belt

Our team really liked the low and flat profile of this belt. They felt it offered the perfect compromise between the mega small traditional style belts and the larger money belts that are more like small bags. It easily sits flat with a passport and some money whilst remaining breathable and water resistant making it really comfortable to wear underneath clothing all day.

Stashbanz Running Belt – Best Travel/Running Waist Belt

Quick Answer:  Price: $23.99

Are you a compulsive jogger or trail runner even when you are traveling? Do you just want a secure stash pocket to wear when you are running at home?  Stashbanz has come up with the ultimate running belt to meet your needs.

This travel belt is made from a moisture-wicking quick-dry spandex material and includes four secure pockets and a new zippered concealed pocket.

You can really store a ton of stuff in this thing. If you are the kind of traveler that always seems to have a loaded wallet, a passport, phone, earbuds, hostel keys, debit cards, lip balm crammed into your pockets, this money belt might be the answer to your prayers.

The Stashbanz running belt comes in five different sizes and fits easily under or over your clothes depending on your activity.

Made in the USA.

• Not adjustable
• Slightly overkill (too many pockets) if you are just wanting to hide your money

Our team were impressed by the versatility of this belt and liked that it was useful for more than just keeping their gear safe. In fact, they used it for jogging and bike rides on their travels too. They also liked that is was super low profile and light and rolled or folded really small.

Alpha Keeper Money Belt  – Best Money Belt for Electronic Security

Quick Answer:  Price: $26.99

Traveling with heaps of credit cards? Have you been burned already by an electronic thief? Do you want to take your electronic security a step further? Alpha Keeper will meet all of your needs and then some.

The Alpha Keeper money belt is made with three layers of 100% RFID blocking material to ensure your valuables stay safe. It is made out of high-quality water-resistant 210D rip-stop nylon toughness and durability on the road.

If those three layers of RFID protection are not enough, the Alpha Keeper money belt also comes with seven protective sleeves, so you can add additional barriers to things like your phone, wallet, and passport even when you are not traveling (for example sleeping at the hostel).

I have certainly never heard of anyone being electronically robbed at a hostel, so please don’t be paranoid. That said, having more protection is never a bad thing.

Long story short, there is no way in hell that an electronic thief will get to your valuable items when you are using an Alpha Keeper money belt.

• Reportedly not as comfortable as other travel money belts.

Our team liked that this belt easily lay flat on their stomach or back whilst still offering a good amount of storage. The two-pocket design was great for keeping passports and money organised and they even found they could easily fit 2-3 passports if needed. So it’s great for families too.

LeatherBoss Men’s Leather Money Belt – Best Men’s Money Belt

Quick Answer: Price: $15.49-$19.99

Our pick for the best leather money belt, the LeatherBoss men’s leather money belt is another great option for backpackers looking for a practical piece of gear that also hides your money.

This leather money belt does not feature all of the stash pockets and features some of the other “belts” do, but that is what makes it great. No one can tell that you are indeed wearing a belt containing hidden money.

It looks just like any old belt you would wear any day of the week.

The LeatherBoss money belt certainly wins big on style points. It is attractive, simple, and an all-around great way to stash your cash on the road. This is one of the best men’s money belts on the market.

• Leather material not conducive to getting wet, hiking or other outdoor adventure sports.

Our team loved this leather money belt and in particular just how lightweight, low key and inconspicuous it is. Literally, no one will suspect that you’ve got cash hidden in this thing and they felt it still functioned just as well as a “normal” belt. The only issue is that they felt it was a bit more fiddly that the others to access your stash and obviously it holds a lot less.

Alpine Rivers Travel Money Belt

Quick Answer:  Price: $17.95

The Alpine Rivers travel belt is also very focused on electronic data protection. The belt is made from 100% RFID blocking material & Water-resistant 210D rip-stop Nylon.

The sleek, compact design allows for plenty of space and easy access to your most sensitive possessions and cash.

Features include two front zippered pockets and a large concealed rear pocket. The inner pockets allow convenient organization of passports, tickets, credit cards and cash.

Like the Alpha Keeper money belt, the Alpine Rivers model also comes with RFID blocking sleeves to add an extra layer of protection to your credit cards and phone.

The Alpine Rivers money belt is well made, durable, and should be able to handle all of the years of wear and tear that backpacking gear faces.

• Slightly larger than other travel belts.
• Quite bulky under tight-fitting clothing.
• Received a few poor reviews involving cases of theft out of the money belt. Ouch.

Our team loved the size of this money belt when it came to carrying more gear. Some of the team wanted to be able to carry a phone and other items like headphones alongside their cash and passports and this belt made that easy and comfortable without taking up a massive amount of room. It did show a little more than other as might be expected, but if you wear a baggy shirt or hoody over the top it still covers well.

CyberDyer Travel Running Belt

Quick Answer:  Price: $9.99

Similar to the Stashbanz running belt (what the hell is it with these running belts and the use of the letter “z”??), the CyberDyer running belt is designed specifically for active people.

I almost like the CyberDyer more than the Stashbanz running belt because there is only one main pocket compartment to deal with.

The belt is made from a high-quality blend of Spandex material that is soft as silk and it stretches well. This is the perfect belt for the people who are running in big cities either at home or whilst traveling.

The Amazon reviews have mostly raved about fit and comfort, so you can expect a comfortable running belt that won’t bother you when you are out jogging.

The CyberDyer running belt comes in a wide range of sizes so you can be sure to find the perfect fit.

• Reportedly can slip and ride up
• Edges have been known to lose their shape and curl over time
• Can feel bulky

The CyberDyer might sound like a cyborg washing machine, but our team felt it was a really simple and comfortable solution to keeping their gear safe. The material sits on the skin well without rubbing and allows it to fit virtually anyone perfectly. They felt it was a bit basic with only the one pocket, but for keeping bare essentials safe whilst travelling or running it was ideal for those not wanting all the bells and whistles.

Flipbelt Money Travel Belt

Quick Answer:  Price: $39

The Flipbelt travel belt is another unit designed for active people. The belt is made from spandex/lycra material. A big plus with the design is that there are no buckles to rub against your body, thus eliminating chaffing.

There are many knock-off imitators on the internet who have copied the Flipbelt construction. Don’t be fooled. Flipbelt is still making the best money belt of its type.

Features include multi-access pocket openings found throughout the belt for easy access and organization.

The money belt is machine washable, which is good news if you plan on exercising while wearing it.

• Sizing can be different depending on the country that it is manufactured in.
• Pocket a little small for storing iPhone 6 or larger.

Our team loved how this belt kinda skirted between being a belt and a proper travel pouch. They loved the soft material that fit them well without being bulky and too large. Rather than layering pockets on top of each other, this belt spreads them around to keep everything flatter and easier to conceal.

Now, you  could spend a fat chunk of $$$ on the WRONG present for someone. Wrong size hiking boots, wrong fit backpack, wrong shape sleeping bag… As any adventurer will tell you, gear is a personal choice.

So give the adventurer in your life the gift of convenience: buy them an REI Co-op gift card!  REI is The Broke Backpacker’s retailer of choice for ALL things outdoors, and an REI gift card is the perfect present you can buy from them. And then you won’t have to keep the receipt. 😉

The idea of a money belt is simple. They are designed to keep your money safe by concealing it all together in a zippered pocket that stays fixed close to your body at all times. Pickpockets cannot reach your money if it is hiding on the underside of your belt or shirt!

Security belts have been popular for a long time. Styles, performance, and best utility vary across the board. There are MANY travel money belts on the market. So, how does one find the right belt to fit your own individual taste?

When you begin the process of looking to buy a money belt, you’ll need to first ask yourself some questions.

What are you looking for the security belt to do? Are you after a belt that will hide your money only? Do you want a money belt that can also hold your phone, credit card, and passport? Will you be active while you are wearing your travel belt?

Each belt has different features including pockets, zippers, buckles, clips, and bands. You’ll need to ask yourself “what style works for me?” when you are thinking about buying a money belt.

Personally, I like a simple money belt like the one pictured above. For hiding cash, you simply don’t need a ton of pockets, but every backpacker has different needs so the choice is up to you.

You want a money belt that is comfortable. Very comfortable.

You will likely be wearing your travel belt most days whilst out on a backpacking trip. Essentially, it will become an extension of your own body.

You want to be damn sure that it fits you perfectly and does not produce any rubbing or chaffing that will irritate your skin and disrupt your day.

Alternatively, if you don’t like the idea of wearing a belt at all, there are scarves with hidden pockets as well.

Intended Use and Activity

If you are after a running belt or find yourself outdoors, you will want to consider a money belt specifically designed for that purpose. Running belts are great for people who are jogging all the time. They keep your stuff organized, safe, and in theory, do not move when your body is in motion.

Other designs include waterproof or water-resistant fabric. If you do a lot of camping or hiking, you might want to consider a water resistant model, though you probably have camping dry bags that can protect you from rain anyway.

Also, if you hike or run a lot, you should probably stay away from a leather travel belt.

RFID-Blocking

What is RFID? RFID ( radio frequency identification) is the use of radio waves to read and capture information stored on a tag attached to an object; for example your credit card.

In this day and age, you have to worry about that kind of thing. Now to be clear I have never had an issue with an electronic thief, but that is not to say that it doesn’t happen. Electronic theft in public places is certainly on the rise. You’ll have to decide whether or not having an RFID-blocking money travel belt is important to you.

Most of the travel money belts on my list are made from tough nylon, though a few of the running belts are made out of a Spandex blend. Typically, the nylon travel belts will last you longer and hold less of a smell over time.

The good news is you can throw just about any travel belt (that isn’t leather) in the washing machine (at a low spin cycle). This allows you to wash off sweat, dirt, and other unpleasantness that you don’t want to fix to your body day after day.

On any given backpacking adventure there will be potential thieves lurking with the hopes of stealing your money. I say this to not induce a state of travel paranoia, but out of the need for every backpacker to be aware of the risks of traveling. It is common sense really.

Many budget backpacker destinations are so cheap to travel in because the local economy is in shambles. People are out of work and when people have no employment, they turn to crime. They target foreigners who do have the plentiful cash that they themselves do not.

I can’t say that I blame them.

Us backpackers are extremely lucky and fortunate to be able to afford to go backpacking at all. That said, in order to keep traveling long term you simply can not have your money taken from you. For some travelers, myself included, losing a big wad of cash in a single moment could end up completely derailing an otherwise awesome backpacking trip.

Having a security belt and putting it to use is a great preventative measure for keeping your cash away from potential pickpockets. There are however other steps you can take to ensure that your cash stays in your pocket (or in your belt).

Top Tips For Guarding Your Cash While Backpacking

• If you plan on going out for a night on the town, take only the cash you need.
• Finding yourself drunk, alone, and loaded with cash in a foreign city is a recipe for disaster anywhere in the world. Don’t do find yourself in that position!
• Use extra caution in crowded public spaces. Train stations, public markets, bus depots, major tourist attractions… all very prone to pickpocket activity.
• Be sneaky when you take money out of your money travel belt. Plan a little in advance if you know you will need a bit of cash for any given situation. Don’t go lifting up your shirt in a crowd of people, thus exposing exactly where your valuables are hidden.
• Don’t overload your money belt. If it is making you look pregnant (assuming you’re not pregnant) through your shirt, you have taken away the hidden aspect of your security belt.
• Travel with plenty of cash , but generally, avoid traveling with thousands upon thousands of dollars on your person. You never know what could happen and you don’t want to put all of your eggs in one basket as they say.
• Don’t fall for pickpocket tricks and distractions. For example, someone might squirt paint or ketchup on you and make it seem as if it was an accident. IT WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT! They are trying to scam you, so get the hell out of there, ketchup and all.
• Don’t be overly paranoid. The majority of people in the world are fine people. Keep your wits about you at all times, but don’t think that every single person is out for your money, because they are not.

There is no perfect or exact science when it comes to testing out travel gear. Having said that, The Broke Backpacker team has gotten pretty close given our levels of experience in this area. So, we’re a solid bet when it comes to sound advice when it comes to picking a money belt for travel.

Money belts are not all created equal, but they are all safer than leaving your luggage open to robbers.

Because every tourist explores new locations in a unique way, the thousands of different money belts available for purchase provide a variety of valuable features. Consider the below points

• RFID Blocking : The modern criminal isn’t only after a quick buck. Electronic gadgets can readily clone credit cards and bank cards, but RFID-blocking protection incorporated into the fabric of the belt will prevent pickpockets from cloning your card.
• Waterproof And Hygienic : If you intend to keep your valuables physically close to your chest, you’ll want to make sure the material your money belt is made of will endure such close touch, especially in hotter temperatures. To avoid huge sweaty areas or skin discomfort, use a money belt made of breathable fabric with waterproofing for easy wipedowns at the end of the day.
• Slash-Resistant Straps : You’d think that if your money belt is tucked safely underneath your jeans , no one could get close enough to cut the straps without your awareness. While this is mainly accurate, someone may try their luck if you take it off, wear it across your body, or flash it around too much.
• Belts That Can Be Adjusted : Because not all travelers are the same size, finding a belt that fits you like a glove is essential. If it’s too tight, it’ll feel like you’ve been sliced in half; if it’s too loose, it’ll completely defeat the purpose.
• Weight: You’ll probably be more comfortable if you travel light. While many of us are prone to overpacking our carry-on luggage or travel bags , you’ll want to stay away from adding unnecessary items that will weigh you down. Many money belts are supposed to be lightweight and convenient, but if you try to carry too much and walk around with it for too long, it could ruin your trip.
• Moisture-Wicking / Waterproof: Having a waterproof money belt , especially if you’ll be heading somewhere where it’s likely to rain, will protect you not just against robbers, but also from having your devices damaged in the event of a storm. A moisture-wicking money belt helps keep you cool and your things dry if you know you’ll be sweating a lot.
• Preferred Style : Thieves won’t notice you’re wearing a travel belt, which is the purpose. While this is the basic objective, the solution might take several forms. Some money belts are designed to function as a discreet “ fanny pack ,” while others resemble ordinary belts with a secret internal pocket.
• Different Pockets : A simple money belt would suffice if all you want to do is carry cash about. However, if you also want to keep your phone, passport, and other valuables hidden away, choose a bag with multiple compartments to keep everything organized and make access quick and easy whenever you need it.
• Money Belts For Sports: Not every traveler wishes to simply walk through a city or take long walks on the beach. If you’re planning on doing some extreme sports, cycling, or running, you’ll need a different type of money belt . Look for ones that are ultra-thin, compact, light, and made of breathable, water-resistant fabric.
