Anyone who has ever travelled extensively, or even just a little bit, knows that one of the biggest concerns is keeping your valuables safe. Pickpockets, thieves and muggers like to target tourists, which is why you should always be prepared. The best way to keep from drawing unwanted attention is by blending in as much as possible and keeping your most valuable possessions in a safe place.
The right pair of undies can be your friend in this department. In other words, if you get a pair of undies with hidden pockets for your valuables you can forget about those flat bags you have to wear under your shirt. Or you can use both, and lessen the risk of getting robbed even more.
Mostly underwear geared towards travelers isn’t the most comfortable or stylish to wear, though all of that is changing. A group of Australians recently started a Kickstarter project to back the manufacture of a unique set of so-called
Adventure Underwear. The good news is that they have managed to raise enough funds to go ahead with the project and we should soon be able to try out the first pairs in action.
These undies are the adventure traveler's dream, and can also come in very handy for the casual tourist.
Adventure Underwear features two hidden pockets. One allows for easy access, for things like keys, credit cards and money. The other pocket is waterproof and large enough to hold your smartphone, passport and other larger valuables. It is removable and certified to be water tight for up to 200ft deep by Scuba Schools International. Pretty cool, if you ask me. And that’s not all, these waterproof pockets are also made for 100% recycled new age polyethylene, and are even rated food safe by the US Food and Drugs Administration. So, there’s no need to go hungry anywhere you decide to go, or end up going.

These undies will be made from 100% superfine Australian merino wool. Yes, you read that right: wool. However, what you may not know is that wool is a fabric that will keep you warm during the winter, but it will also keep you cool during the summer. This is especially true of merino wool that these pairs of underwear are made of. It has an ultra soft texture, which makes the undies lightweight and breathable, and also allows them to dry very quickly and to not hold odors. A perfect pair of undies, even for everyday wear.
The undies should become available in about a month or so, so watch out for that. They will come in an assortment of colors and sizes ranging from S to XXL, so you will find a pair that will fit you, guaranteed. For now, these are only available for men, though I’m sure that if they take off, a female version is next.
