I was impressed the reviews, bought it, and took mine to Europe. Big mistake.

Issue #1: After a week of use, one of the straps' stitching came completely undone and fell to pieces. If I had not been using both loops, I would have lost my passport and my money due to this product's inadequate, sub-standard stitching. By the way, I am a very "casual" traveler and this piece had very little wear when it came undone.

Issue #2: For all of the review's about the product's design excellence, there is a no-brainer detail somebody completely forgot to address: the zipper zips vertically rather than horizontally. So, if the zipper is compromised while under your pants, bye-bye passport and money. This makes no sense at all.

Issue #3: The idea of a product that loops around your belt and hangs under your pants is great, until you have to go through Security at the airport where they make you take off your belt. Bye-bye passport and money. This product should be designed to hang on belt loops, not a belt.

Very disappointed with this product.
