Worth the money to have piece of mind from pickpockets when traveling.
I bought this neck pouch for $23 a few weeks before I went to Italy. I basically used it as my wallet during the entire 10 day trip so that I wouldn't have to worry about pick-pockets snagging my passport/ID/credit card/debit card/cash/train tickets, etc out of my shorts pockets. The neck pouch is well designed, with two separate zipper pockets separated only by a thin (but solid) layer inside, and one Velcro pocket which has two sections, separated by a thin mesh divider inside. Oh, and the clear slot in front for a driver's license or ID card if you want to use that. I adjusted the straps so that it hung in the center of my chest and I wore it under my shirts (or over my t-shirt, but under my sweatshirt). I kept my passport and ID in one zipper pocket which I rarely opened, and my cash (in an envelop folded like a paper-thin bi-fold wallet) in the other zipper pocket which I frequently accessed. I kept my larger cash reserves in an envelope in one section of the Velcro pocket, and my credit/debit cards (yep... in an envelope) and train tickets in the other section of the Velcro pocket. This organization method worked well for me and I knew where to reach for anything when I needed it. The pouch was as comfortable against my bare skin as anything like this that I've ever used, and the back of it is fairly breathable. After a few days of hiking around with it, my neck did become a little irritated from the strap, but I just began wearing the strap around the back of my hood (whenever it was cool enough to wear a hoodie). The pouch is pretty much exactly as advertised, and it works great for keeping your most valuable documents safe and on your person at all times.
