Eagle Creek Undercover Hidden Pocket, Khaki

best product on the market to travel with your passport,tucks securely inside your pants.

Perfect for safer travel.

The size is good for cash a credit card and ID, the two color strap options make this a more functional, and the fabric is comfortable. I would give it five stars if it had RFID protection, that's a minor issue easily solved by an RFID credit card sleave. It will also hold a passport.

I already owned two types of money belt: the kind you wear with a tape around your waste under your pants, and the kind that looks like a normal belt you wear through your belt loops. But when my boss asked me to carry thousands of dollars in cash on a three-week trip to several countries in Asia, and not to leave the cash in hotel safes, neither would do--the one was just too uncomfortable or impractical for wearing all day, every day (I have a bit of a paunch, and these types of belts end up riding right under my belly), while the other just didn't have the capacity for so much cash.This pouch easily accommodated my little stack of $100 bills, and had I wanted to I could have added my passport and some credit cards. I wore the pouch in the 4 o'clock position (on my right side and a bit to the rear) under my pants; one of the loops came up over my waistband, then folded down on the outside, where I slipped my belt through it to keep the pouch from falling down my pants leg. Even knowing the loop was there, I had a hard time seeing it in the mirror. There is one black loop and one brown loop; use the one that matches your belt, and let the other remain inside your pants. I wore this hidden pocket constantly for three weeks (we never ended up needing the cash), and I never even felt it at all except for those occasions I felt for it to make sure it was still there; it's that comfortable.I did not wear this through security in the USA, with their fancy imaging devices that have picked up my handkerchief in the past, but I did wear this through every other security screening I encountered at a variety of Asian airports. No matter whether I was screened by machine or frisked by hand, this pocket was never discovered at any of the checkpoints. In spite of the fact that the zipper seems metallic, I walked through metal detectors and detector wands passed over me that did not alert on the hidden pocket. Upon my return to the USA after three weeks of constant use, my hidden pocket shows no signs of wear other than a few creases.I would second the advice given in these reviews not to plan on accessing the contents of the pouch in public. I carried a smaller amount of cash in my wallet if I thought I'd use any. In the USA, I kept this pocket in my carry-on bag until I went through screening, then went into a restroom and locked myself in a toilet stall to put it on. The "narrow range of problems" for which I recommend this hidden pocket are those times when you need to discreetly carry a modest amount of currency (the legal amount of US dollars in $100 bills should be fine) or documents (e.g. passports or papers folded into a similar size) that you will not be accessing in public view.

We just returned from a mission's trip to Liberia, West Africa. I read a lot of reviews of different ways of carrying cash and passports safely and securely while maintaining some level of comfort. I settled on trying the Eagle Creek Travel Gear Hidden Pocket and ordered one. When I received it I tried it out and liked what I saw. I took it to one of our final mission trip meetings (11 of us were going) and others purchased this item as well. I personally ordered two more (one more for me and one for my wife).To make a long story short, I wore two Eagle Creek Hidden Pockets the entire two weeks we were in Liberia. In one I carried the gas and tip money for the team's travel and in the other I carried personal cash along with my passport. Both of the Hidden Pockets held up very well for the entire time. I used both loops through my belt and they were pretty much unnoticeable. These pockets were very comfortable and a number of times I panicked as the one with just the cash in it was hard to even feel when I reached for it.The size of the bag is perfect for money to be placed in it unfolded. After two weeks of wearing them the loops and bags are showing no significant signs of wear and held up well. I (we) experienced NO problems with the loops as some of the other reviewers reported. I highly recommend this product if you are searching for a functional, safe and comfortable means to carry valuables.What worked good for me was to carry my passport and bulk of my money in this hidden pocket. In my regular pocket I had a money clip with easy access to small amounts of money to spend while out in the markets. And in my wallet I had more money to easily access in case something was expensive and that way I could access a few larger bills without jeopardizing the bulk of my money which was always safely tucked under my pants in the hidden pocket.My wife wore skirts while in Liberia and wore a belt over her skirt and put the pocket on the belt. She then wore shirts over the top. This worked well for her. (Not sure what she did when she wore her scrubs in the medical clinic).For me...this product is a "no-brainer" and I would buy it again if the need arises.
