The plain one-color fabric moneybelt is the Eagle Creek product. The Buffalo Designs product has a variety of colours and patterns.

Most of us here try to avoid the "step over here" bit.I tried taking off the belt, but trying to dash thru the WTMD to go gather things from the xray before they get stolen while your pants are falling down does not add to the pleasantness of the "TSA Experience".
I got the Eagle Creek plastic belt and have NEVER set off the WTMD while wearing it.
OTOH, sometimes in a hurry I forget to switch to my travel belt. If the WTMD is set at a low sensitivity that day, my metal belt buckle does not set it off. But I try not to try my luck too often.
