Apparel reviews of Pacsafe Pouch, 100 Anti-Theft Neck Pouch
Customer Review: A Good Idea With Things to Improve
Rating: 4 Stars
I bought this wallet six years ago when I traveled through Europe. I thought it was really intuitive to use metal for the cord rather than cloth which can be cut. I found having a neck wallet was indeed as invaluable then as I did recently when I traveled for a year around the world. Three deep pockets, one zippered w/ safety lock, make this incredibly versatile and capable of holding most, if not all, of your important documents, your money, credit cards, etc. The back is soft against the skin and the overall construction feels solid.
A few things that bothered me were: the adjustable cord is thick and is not as malleable as cloth so it can be very noticeable around your neck or under your clothes. Secondly, the cord tended to lengthen on its own if I had it partially concealed under my shirt and my trousers. Thirdly, after six years of use, the cord started fraying near where it connects to the pouch and the wires poke which really hurt. However, this came after year after year of abuse.
Great product although I'd like to see a better cord in the future.
Customer Review: Metal-reinforced strap is the key
Rating: 4 Stars
All you need to know about the Pacsafe 100 Neck Pouch is that it has steel wire integrated into the neck strap. This removes the critical flaw of most other neck pouches: an easily cut or broken strap. Why deal with the inconvenience of a money belt when you can have the stuff you want to conceal also readily at hand?
I have stopped using my money belt and now rely on the Pacsafe pouch. The only (minor) issues I have with it are that it gets a bit sweaty wearing it in humid climates, it bulges a little under form-fitting clothes, and the stiffness of the strap makes it difficult to roll the whole thing up into a compact package. None of these are showstoppers, of course, and don't affect the pouch's primary purpose: keeping passports, tickets, and money concealed yet accessible.
Customer Review: Excellent way to keep your important items safe
Rating: 4 Stars
This is a great thing to have on trips! It's light and not cumbersome at all. I kept my passport, my ID, a couple credit cards and cash in it and my peace of mind. I didn't have to worry if someone stole my backpack then all my my important stuff would be long gone. The cord is strong and durable. The strap is adjustable and easy to lengthen or shorten. I wore it around my neck and under one arm. It could be padded a little for more comfort, but that's not a huge flaw. If I could I would give it 4½ stars!
Highly Recommended!
