Passport neck wallets?

What's wrong with putting stuff in your pocket like at any other time of year?

Have you ever tried walking through a busy crowd in Mumbai? Haha,...

I stopped for a second to ask for directions, I heard *click*, followed by a finger in my back pocket (nothing in it thank god). I turned around and a fat Indian woman was there saying sorry and walking off and a kid had bolted off as well.

I took off my bag to find the zip was pulled down slightly and one buckle was undone.

So yea, I would rather have my absolute essentials on me, against my skin, where someone has to physically lift my top up to get to it.

Because, generally, you don't carry your passport, documents around with you on a day to day basis when at home.

Maybe he's ready for a quick getaway.

Agree with agnes's recommendation

Accept it that no matter how much you try, you will stand out like a sore thumb as a tourist, this is not the problem. The problem is where your valuables are and are they hidden?

Lets face it...If you are in India for example...A westerner of any description will not blend in

EDIT: This would have come in handy when I was at Glastonbury...I had my normal leather wallet and although it was in the front pocket of my jeans...I was constantly feeling for its presence.

Just leave then in the hotel/room safe when you are out and about.

What if the room or hotel doesn't have a safe?

I've found it useful for places which don't have a safe

Book one that does or let your wife carry it and blame her when it's knicked.

Surely having your passport, money etc. hidden from site is better ? Having it hanging around your neck for all to see is just an invitation to scumbags which says, ' Please Mug Me !!! '

*EDIT* Or is the idea that you have it underneath your clothes ? In which case you'd need to do a strip tease every time you want access.

My thoughts exactly.

Passport goes in a buttoned pocket or in a safe. I would rather shove it in tight boxers than walk around with a bumbag for your neck.

Not for me, I think I could inadvertently mix it up with my neck holstered travel rape alarm.

Is it a stealthy one ? or more of a "wallety" type?
