 Rick Steves product quality is below par Jun 02, 2010
The concept of the Neck Wallet was great, even though I did not need it. I found the neck wallet is pointless if you are not traveling Rick Steve's style (a.k.a on the cheap) and staying in hotels with room safes and using mostly planes to go from city to city. I did find it convenient to use at the airports to keep my passport and tickets easily accessible, even though the neck wallet gives you clearly away as a tourist and unless you are wearing a sweater the wallet does show underneath a t-shirt. So if you are traveling anywhere and you have to have your important documents on you I do recommend a neck wallet or money belt, just not this one. The stitching was of low quality and I almost lost my documents because of it. The place where the neck string connects to the wallets came off unnoticed and without force and unless my better half would have noticed I would have been stuck in Europe.
This seems again a product line that has a good concept, where a 'celebrity' puts it's name on, but the product quality itself is mediocre at best.

 Perfect neck wallet for traveling Dec 02, 2009
I believe Rick Steves's neck wallet is the perfect accessory for holding your passport and other important articles while traveling. I used it to hold my passport, my Berlin tourist transit pass, and a credit card and some Euros on my latest trip to Germany. I had an older version made of leather, but the cord on it was about to go, so I invested in Rick Steves's product. I wasn't disappointed. I didn't particularly like the plastic perspiration shield, but it was very warm in Berlin this last August, so I needed it to protect my documents. If it had been cooler I would use it without the plastic shield. Overall this is a great product. I still kept a wallet in my pocket, in the unlikely case that we were robbed. I kept an old wallet with a few expired credit cards and 5 or 10 Euros in it to give up in case a thief confronted us. But everything important was hidden in my wallet under my shirt. I recommend this for all travelers!
it worked Oct 01, 2009
bought for our trip to ireland the neck wallet was worn under my shirt and around my neck. it easily held our passports, euro's and flight info. the thin strap was the only downside. it started to annoy me after a few days. overall, not bad.

Poor design - better ones out there Sep 21, 2009
I just got back from a 1 month trip to Europe with the Rick Steves neck wallet. I should have taken my old one - heavier, but much more functional. Here are the deficiencies I see in the Rick Steves product:
- The two front pockets are too small. Credit cards are a tight squeeze, making them hard to get in and out. Neither of the pockets are large enough for money unless you fold the bills in thirds. The pockets do not have separate zippers.
-The main zippered compartment contains a clear plastic pouch designed to protect the contents from perspiration, since the silk sucks up moisture like a sponge. Unfortunately, this plastic pouch sticks to itself and gets bent and crumpled, making it hard to get things in and out.
-The above main compartment is too narrow to hold a passport (at least a U.S. passport) sideways. You must put it in vertically, which precludes folding the wallet in half and using it as a much more convenient pocket wallet in places where it is safe to do so.
-The strap does not detach, also preventing its use as a pocket wallet as above, or as an around-the-waist under the pants money belt.
- The un-zippered back compartment is nearly useless. It is between you and the plastic pouch, and anything put in here will get soaked with perspiration.
About its only plus is that it is light weight, but I'd gladly trade a few ounces for more functionality. Look for one that is moisture proof, has secure pockets that actually fit credit cards, a passport and the larger European bills, and can be used as a regular wallet.

 Too many thieves know about this Sep 06, 2009
I've used various neck wallets on my trips and they are useless. Every thief knows about these and the neck strap gives it away! I found out the hard way in my recent backpacking trip through Central America that everything gets wet from sweat and humidity with these. My passport got soaked and if it wasn't for an understanding customs agent, I would have been detained until I got a new one issued. The other thing is that you have to wear a dress shirt or it will show through your t-shirt. The strap is also dangerous because if someone comes up behind you and gets a hold of the strap, they then have a way to choke you. In my trip to Europe, it was hard to tell that I had one because it was cold/rainy and had to wear a jacket but in Central America where it was hot and had to wear a t-shirt people just commented, "He has something in his shirt!" I would not recommend this for a traveler but only if you need it to carry something on the outside of your shirt or when you can wear a jacket to hide the strap. I put mine aside and purchased one that straps under my pants and onto my leg. I generally wear loose fitting pants and it's hard to tell.
