The Wilderness Money Belt

Description

The Safest Place is on Your Waist

In the Old West, many cowboy’s prized gunbelts were also money belts. More than a century later, The Wilderness has brought this smart idea back to reality. Whether a tourist, adventurer, soldier or reporter, the Wilderness Money Belt will help you keep your valuables on you and safe while in far flung lands or just the backwoods of home.

Our money belt takes everything that’s great about our line of belts and makes them even better! You can build exactly the robust, secure, covert money belt you have always wanted with all the options for buckles, colors, stiffness, width, and length that we offer in our other belts. The back of the belt features a flat, zippered pocket along most of its length. Size varies with the belt width, but they can each hold folded paper currency and most coinage.

We use inverted #7 size zippers with the pulls facing inward to secure the security pocket closed. This has proven to be more smooth and flat than orienting the pulls outward, and is not too fiddly when trying to open or close. All money belt pockets feature a double pull so you can close them anywhere along the zipper’s track.

As with all zipper money belts, the zipper sliders can catch on the ends of the bills. By pulling out or “tenting” the zipper slightly while opening or closing, this condition can be minimized.

*Please note that due to the wide spectrum of possible options, our Wilderness Money Belts are made when ordered and will typically require at least 5 business days to manufacture.

**A NOTE ABOUT METAL DETECTORS: It should be kept in mind that the metal zipper sliders (and any coins in the money belt) could potentially set off metal detectors.

The Money Belt is available with the nitrided steel Instructor Belt buckle (1½” or 1¾”), Frequent Flier rings (1½” or 1¾”), LowPro EDC buckle (1½” or 1¾”), or our Swift Buckle (1½” only). Please refer to these links for complete descriptions:

Belt Sizing

*We strongly recommend using a measuring tape to check your correct size. Your pants size is not your correct belt size and is usually off by at least 2″, and we have found that the markings on other belts are not always accurate. Please read and use our belt sizing guide.

If your measured belt size is over 50″ we strongly encourage you to check out the Easy-Fit Instructor Belt and Frequent Flyer Sport Belt. Their simplified sizing offers extra range of adjustment which makes correct sizing easier. This is important both to the belt doing its job for you and because the higher size ranges are custom and non-returnable.

Custom Size Notes: 46″-49″ add $5.00, 50″-59″ add $10.00, 60″-69″ add $15.00, 70″-79″ add $20.00 on all belts (please call for 60″+ orders for advice on belt style); 46″ and larger, or 32″ and smaller, are custom made and non-returnable.

The standard 3-stitch model offers very good load-bearing and comfort with inside-the-pants holster carry. The 5-stitch model is our favorite and most popular. It offers two additional stitch lines along the length of the belt which significantly stiffen it and enhance load bearing. It’s vertical rigidity is similar to a high-quality leather gunbelt, yet it is horizontally and rotationally flexible for comfort. We think this is the best one for most gun-carrying operations, both inside-the-pants and belt holsters. The Combat Shooters Model (C.S.M.) adds a polyethylene insert which adds even more vertical rigidity. This model is slightly thicker than the 3- or 5-stitch models. We recommend it for action shooters and security work where numerous items such as duty holsters will be worn on the belt.

Belts are available in Black, Wolf Grey, Coyote, and Ranger.
