Rick Steves Silk Neck Wallet, Natural

Bought this specifically for a 10 day trip to NYC and Rome, Italy. Was pleased with the quality and construction, although I also read prior reviews and reinforced the cord to make sure it did not break. My only suggestion to anyone purchasing and using this wallet would be to rinse it out in a basin of soapy water every few days and let it dry overnight. I do not have sensitive skin, but found my skin becoming irritated after a few days of wear. I figured out it was probably my own dried sweat that had accumulated on the wallet (sorry, I know it's TMI!)that was irritating my skin. So next time I will be sure to empty the wallet of it's contents and rinse it out every few days. I also wore it holster-style across my body as my husband, a former Marine, suggested so a potential thief can't choke you with it!

The items arrived in a couple days, and were as stated. I use these to hold an insulin pump in. The clip on cases always cause me problems, and with these pouches I can wear it with ease. The pouch is very soft, and comfortable.

This was particulary useful on our trip and worked better than the money belt models that we had used in the past. The waterproof sleeve and the seperate zippered compartments for credit and ATM cards worked especially well for our group of three people. The silk material was comfortable, wore well under clothing, and washed well upon our return. A great product.

It rained all 10 days of my trip but the plastic insert kept my euros dry. A previous review warned of the delicate zipper so I was very careful with it and it held up fine, although that is the item's weakest part. I especially liked the little zippered pouch in front that holds a metro pass perfectly. The whole wallet was lightweight but stiff enough to reassure me it was still there under a fleece. The neck strap was OK. I was happy with the product.

My daughter used this on her trip to Spain and it worked out well! It is lightweight and easily concealed.
