 Perfect neck wallet for traveling December 2, 2009

I believe Rick Steves's neck wallet is the perfect accessory for holding your passport and other important articles while traveling. I used it to hold my passport, my Berlin tourist transit pass, and a credit card and some Euros on my latest trip to Germany. I had an older version made of leather, but the cord on it was about to go, so I invested in Rick Steves's product. I wasn't disappointed. I didn't particularly like the plastic perspiration shield, but it was very warm in Berlin this last August, so I needed it to protect my documents. If it had been cooler I would use it without the plastic shield. Overall this is a great product. I still kept a wallet in my pocket, in the unlikely case that we were robbed. I kept an old wallet with a few expired credit cards and 5 or 10 Euros in it to give up in case a thief confronted us. But everything important was hidden in my wallet under my shirt. I recommend this for all travelers!

bought for our trip to ireland the neck wallet was worn under my shirt and around my neck. it easily held our passports, euro's and flight info. the thin strap was the only downside. it started to annoy me after a few days. overall, not bad.
 Poor design - better ones out there September 21, 2009

I just got back from a 1 month trip to Europe with the Rick Steves neck wallet. I should have taken my old one - heavier, but much more functional. Here are the deficiencies I see in the Rick Steves product:
- The two front pockets are too small. Credit cards are a tight squeeze, making them hard to get in and out. Neither of the pockets are large enough for money unless you fold the bills in thirds. The pockets do not have separate zippers.
-The main zippered compartment contains a clear plastic pouch designed to protect the contents from perspiration, since the silk sucks up moisture like a sponge. Unfortunately, this plastic pouch sticks to itself and gets bent and crumpled, making it hard to get things in and out.
-The above main compartment is too narrow to hold a passport (at least a U.S. passport) sideways. You must put it in vertically, which precludes folding the wallet in half and using it as a much more convenient pocket wallet in places where it is safe to do so.
-The strap does not detach, also preventing its use as a pocket wallet as above, or as an around-the-waist under the pants money belt.
- The un-zippered back compartment is nearly useless. It is between you and the plastic pouch, and anything put in here will get soaked with perspiration.
About its only plus is that it is light weight, but I'd gladly trade a few ounces for more functionality. Look for one that is moisture proof, has secure pockets that actually fit credit cards, a passport and the larger European bills, and can be used as a regular wallet.
 Too many thieves know about this September 6, 2009

I've used various neck wallets on my trips and they are useless. Every thief knows about these and the neck strap gives it away! I found out the hard way in my recent backpacking trip through Central America that everything gets wet from sweat and humidity with these. My passport got soaked and if it wasn't for an understanding customs agent, I would have been detained until I got a new one issued. The other thing is that you have to wear a dress shirt or it will show through your t-shirt. The strap is also dangerous because if someone comes up behind you and gets a hold of the strap, they then have a way to choke you. In my trip to Europe, it was hard to tell that I had one because it was cold/rainy and had to wear a jacket but in Central America where it was hot and had to wear a t-shirt people just commented, "He has something in his shirt!" I would not recommend this for a traveler but only if you need it to carry something on the outside of your shirt or when you can wear a jacket to hide the strap. I put mine aside and purchased one that straps under my pants and onto my leg. I generally wear loose fitting pants and it's hard to tell.
 Rick Steve Silk Neck Wallet and Rick Steves Silk Money Belt July 31, 2009
James Saunders
I ordered the Rick Steves Silk Neck Wallet and the Rick Steves Silk Money Belt. Both were light-weight,well made and were the perfect size to hold passports, credit cards and tickets. I found that I prefered the money belt. It was very comfortable. There were many times I forgot I was wearing it.
