It looks like a regular belt and doesn't attract attention, yet I can fit three hundred dollars into the zippered compartment. More than that it gets too bulky, but the belt easily holds fifteen bills folded in thirds lengthwise. The belt and buckle are nylon and Eagle Creek's lifetime warranty applies. The belt is easily shortened by cutting to fit and then holding a match to the cut portion for a few seconds to singe it. I especially like the buckle-it's an improvement on the old money belt and has never once popped open accidentally. I give it four stars because I would like it to be a little wider, both to fit belt loops better and to hold more money. It will not fit bills folded in half, and folding in thirds creates more bulk. It is a great belt, though.
