I used an Eagle Creek passport pouch for the first 5 or 6 years of travel. I went and looked and, well the world has changed. I didnt like anything I saw, except maybe one by Samsonite. For me the idea is to hold the passport and maybe a backup credit card, nothing else. I dont want a giant 4 zipper pouch hanging around my neck. I want something just a tiny bit larger than the passport ... period. But everyone now is selling the monster pouches for passport, money, cell phones with a half dozen zipper compartments, etc. I guarantee I would keep one of those around my next for 5 minutes and toss it. The idea is something you can put on and forget about.

Now I use my pants pocket. Of course I dont go to Barcelona or Prague or Paris.

I carry my passport in a Tom Bihn Passport Pouch but only on days I will need to show it such as crossing borders. Otherwise it sits in my "Hidden Pocket" type moneybelt.

No matter what shirt I wear, you can tell I'm wearing something underneath. That's why I don't like neck wallets.

And the one FrankII has is about the right size. I gave up on the thing for my pocket around town. When crossing borders I carry a small cross body bag. Especially when flyig as everything from my pockets and my watch and phone and back up battery etc, fits in it. Security is a snap. Something like this: https://pacsafe.com/products/rfidsafe-rfid-blocking-tech-crossbody The one I have is also PacSafe but its very old, smaller and they dont make it any longer.
