Pacsafe Coversafe X75 Neck Pouch

A neck pouch that keeps your passport under your shirt

An under-clothing neck pouch with a wire-reinforced adjustable strap, a zippered main pocket and an RFID-blocking slot that meets FIPS 201. It measures 6.7 x 5.3 x 0.2 inches and weighs about 2 oz.

Our take

A lot of people carry their passport in the same place as their spending money. That's the mistake. Every time you pay for a coffee, the thing you can't replace is out in the open.

This pouch splits the two. It sits flat under a shirt, weighs about 2 oz, and the strap is wire-reinforced so it's harder to cut. The zippered pocket takes a passport and a backup card, and the RFID-blocking slot holds a card or two. It's built for train stations, airports and packed metro platforms. It can feel warm in hot weather, and if you're staying somewhere quiet you may not need it at all.

Use it for the backups, not the daily stuff. Reaching under your shirt at a ticket counter shows everyone where your valuables are. Wear it on transit days and keep a regular wallet for spending. Check the price before you book.

Who it’s for

Travelers going through busy stations and airports with a passport and spare card they want out of a pickpocket's reach.

Skip it if

Skip it if you mostly travel to calm places or hate wearing anything around your neck. A zippered inside pocket or the hotel safe covers a lot of trips.

Pacsafe Coversafe X75 Neck Pouch: questions people ask

Do neck wallets actually stop pickpockets?

They help, because the pouch sits under your clothes where nobody can reach it without you noticing. They work best for backup items you rarely take out.

Do I need RFID blocking for my passport?

Skimming of passports and cards is rare, so the RFID slot is a small extra. The real win is that the passport stays hidden.

Is a neck pouch or a money belt better?

A neck pouch is easier to get into and suits a passport. A waist money belt hides better under a waistband but is harder to reach. Choose by what you carry and how hot it'll be.
