Perfect way to travel and protect your passport. I previously had a passport cover but that added unnecessary bulk when traveling and you must take it out of the case every time you need to show it. The pouch is very light weight and minimal. The zipper encloser also allows me to put little pieces of paper like luggage tabs and tickets with my passport for safe keeping. Also, if you're traveling with family and you're the one in charge of all the passports it easily fits up to 4 passports. Overall, a minimalist pouch that does what it’s supposed to.
