Money Belt Cost

Typical costs:

• Silk and fabric money belts come in a variety of styles and cost about $5-$50. The larger pouch-style belts are typically worn at the waist or around the neck and hold cash, credit cards, passports or travelers checks. Narrow belt-style units are designed to hold cash and checks, folded into long, narrow strips. Wrist, leg or ankle-style belts hold small amounts of cash, checks or a single key. For example, the thin, lightweight Tapp Collections SE Travel belt^[1] is worn around the waist and sells through Amazon for about $5, while the Travel Essentials PacSafe PouchSafe 200 security neck pouch^[2] costs about $40 and has a moisture-proof liner to keep valuables dry.
• Leather belt-style money belts fit into standard waist loops and cost about $45-$140, depending on style thickness, length and buckle choice. The interior zippered pocket holds 18-32 folded bills or checks and comes in a variety of airport-security options including Velcro closures or removable buckles. For example, the Travelon Money Belt^[3] has an easy to remove buckle and costs about $50, while Bullhide Belts^[4] offers a design styled after the same belts Texas Rangers used in the Wild West with two removable buckles for about $130.
• Travel clothing pieces with multiple sealable pockets that keep passports, cash and travel documents on hand at all times cost about $45 -$215, depending on style and location. Travel vests can feature dozens of pockets for valuables and are typically priced from $70 -$215, shirts $45 -$85, shorts $45 -$55, pants $60 -$85 and jackets about $90 -$250. For example, Scottevest^[5] offers a slim-fitting travel vest for men at $100, while Filson^[6] produces a cargo-style travel vest for about $215.

• Regardless of style, each money belt will have at least one secure pocket that is hidden from view to keep valuables safe and hands free.

• Leather quality and buckle designs can increase a belt price from $40-$100 or more, depending on style.

• For online purchases, watch for companies that offer free shipping to save $5-$15, depending on item, total amount of order and travel distance.

• Outdoor and travel stores like REI^[7] and LL Bean sell money belts, along with other travel accessories.
• Traveler and writer Rick Steve maintains a list of what to pack^[8] , including a money belt.
