Review on 🌲 Explore with Style: Thomas Bates Black Travel Wallets for Hikers on the Go by Heidi Jenkins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nicely made but a bit flimsy

I bought Braun to complement the Two Eagle Creek (EC) money belt that I have used for years, the style of which is no longer available. Upon opening the package, I found the belt was a lot less durable than my Eagle Creek, but it was well made; no loose stitches, slightly longer zippered case, "Made in USA" tag, etc. When I attached my calipers to it, I found that the belt material was thinner than Eagle Creek's, 1.9mm vs. 2.2mm. Doesn't sound like much, but the material is also finer woven and more flexible. A key benefit is the absence of the sculpted Eagle Creek logo on the buckle, which I believe is also present on the new Eagle Creek version. I would buy EC but there were a lot of negative reviews about their new buckle.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Not all fit
