Wallets for when you wander

First look: Magellan’s Secret Security Wallets, with zippered and meshed compartments, are nearly wafer-thin and made of light tan polyester. They are designed to be worn under clothing. Depending on the model, they hang from your neck or attach to a cinched waistband (provided) or your belt.

Likes and yikes: Discreet yet roomy enough to hold a passport, travel tickets and travelers checks. Breathable, antimicrobial fabric counters perspiration. Access is awkward with waist models, somewhat easier with the pouch. No style, but who cares? No one will see them -- you hope.
