I wore this everyday for 12 days while in Europe. I rarely even remembered it was there. There's plenty of room for a passport, "extra" cash and credit/debit cards. Try to use it for things that you won't need frequently. It's a little awkward when you have to pull this out of your pants in a store or when you check into a hotel that wants to see your passport. The "Eagle Creek Travel Gear Undercover Hidden Pocket" which attaches to your belt and slips inside your pants at the hip, may be all you need if you are not needing to carry a lot. It's even less expensive and is also large enough to carry a passport, extra cash and a few cards. The "Hidden Pocket" is less awkward to access the contents than this "Undercover Money Belt." Both are well constructed and a good quality.
