About Eagle Creek

Eagle Creek designs its product lines to make travel easier and more fun. Not surprisingly, the folks at Vista, California-based Eagle Creek travel the four corners of the world in their spare time. By yak, by Fiat, by bus, by fast train, or by airplane, Eagle Creek employees come back and figure out how their gear can work better in all of the above circumstances. Most importantly, the company listens to its well-traveled customers, who demand that their travel gear be smart, indestructible, and comfortable. That's why Eagle Creek builds every product with the highest-quality, most-reliable performance in mind. Every buckle, zipper, webbing, and fabric choice is scrutinized based on rigorous lab and field-testing. The company is also keenly aware of the environmental impact of its products, which is why it strives to minimize material waste and source and manufacture its products using the least harmful fabrics, trims, and packaging materials available.

A simple pouch designed to be hooked to your belt and then tucked away in your pants.

Costumer Reviews

This is a great security travel pocket. It is not an everyday wallet. So let me go over the pros:

- attaches to my belt and is worn inside my pants. No one is getting in my pants without my knowledge. I'm paranoid, so I use both loops.

- Drymax lined. Kinda soft and padded, does not feel icky when the weather is humid or I'm sweaty

- Fits all the stuff I need when traveling - Passport, cash, credit card

Cons:

- NONE

To address the things that people have complained about:

1. It shows through your pants.

Really? Just how tight are your britches? Don't try to wear this with leggings or jeggings or the painted on pants you wear to the club.

2. Change falls out.

Seriously? You are keeping change in your safe wallet? Dude, pickpockets dont want your quarters and dimes.

3. The zipper zips vertically rather than horizontally.

This is simple geometry. If it zipped the other way along the top, the mesh pockets would be useless. The zipper is at the top in the closed state, just like your pants. If you have problems with your pants coming unzipped, you may want to carry around a safety pin.

4.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.

Don't wear a belt to the airport. Don't wear those knee high Chuck Taylors that lace all the way up. Don't wear 3 pairs of door-knocker earrings. Don't wear that awesome shirt with the metal buttons. Also, don't try getting through TSA with a hidden security pocket in your pants. That is asking for a grope-down!

This is a great product. It is intended to be used for carrying things you will RARELY access during the day, but need to have on you. Like... your passport, credit card, large bills. Put your 'walking around' money in your pants pocket! You will look like the biggest tourist if you go to a store and pull this out of your pants at the register. That is a great way to let everyone know it's there and you are just asking to be MUGGED instead of pick-pocketed. Travel safe, travel smart! Ciao!

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.
