That one looks too big and awkward etc, but the one shown here (also Amazon) is more like mine.Can someone tell me if this is a bit of overkill?

I'm looking for something that I can keep my passport, cash, phone etc... this has a bottle holder too?
It looks good but I'm wondering if i'm being sidetracked? What do you all think?
Agreed! I used one of these for my Camino. Removed it only to have a shower, and put it back on immediately afterwards. Of course I slept with it on too. As to a water bottle holder, I bought an 'S' hook, attached it to the side strap of my pack and hung my water bottle on it; it was easily accessible as I walked. You just have to get a water bottle with an opening in the cap through which you can slip the 'S' hook.I used this bag and it worked out just fine:

A tip I was given. Make or get a short chain for the purse (old key rings will do) and then fasten it to your pocket. My pocket has a clip but a safety pin will work. Stops pickpockets. My chain is just long enough to be able to get the purse far enough out of the pocket to get some money out. Some travel purses have a loop or clipping point for the chain, others actually have a safety 'string' and clip on them.... and I'll have minimal cash so I'll get an ultra-lite purse for my pocket.

I'm taking a card that my husband will top-up as and when I need it so I'll have no credit cards to really worry about.
What a husband! But patently he is not called Petruchio!!
However, regardless, please do NOT communicate such compliance to my wife
Bystander... the other side of that coin is of course I only get the spending money he puts on the card
So you contact him and say "Just found an Hermès shop in Leon and they have a Kelly/Birkin handbag on offer"
hmmm, does that work?

I read this out to him... his reply was "no"
He also said there is a differnce between need and want... he's an accountant

just wanted to add... he's a rather lovely accountant who keeps me on the straight and narrow and I have no idea how I'll cope without him on my walk
If you’re speaking to me, yes, I wore it under my pack. Still had access to all the pockets, save the pocket at the back which I never used. I would take the bit about the water bottle with a grain of salt – it’s true that one can fit a water bottle into the front pocket, but I would prefer not to look like that (don’t know how it would work with the men’s model). Can’t speak as to the storage of a camera as I used the camera on my iPhone which I stashed as shown here http://www.scottevest.com/v3_store/RFID_Vest_Women.shtml. I admit that the ScotteVest will not work for everyone, but it worked for me and provided me with the extra layer I wanted for my April/May camino – I would not want it for a summer camino, as it would be too warm. For those who want to shave off every extra gram, it is also very heavy, at 356 g.Are you wearing it under your pack?
This sums it up nicely.You need to sort things.
1) Things you need constant access to
2) Things you might need during the day
3) Things you'll rarely need.
Passport and other things you likely will never need during the day shouldn't be easily accessible. A moneybelt under your clothing is a good choice.
Your daily cash you need to access during the day and shouldn't be in the moneybelt.

Overkill for sure. Try not to bring to many valuables, that's the best advice.Can someone tell me if this is a bit of overkill?
