CNN 25 totally unnecessary but desirable travel gadgets 2014 (nr. 13): You can stash valuables in the hidden pockets of Clever Travel Companion's T-shirts, tank tops, and, yes, even undies and long johns. 

 

Los Angeles Times Clever Travel Companion product review

Los Angeles Times "...these bloomers (styles for men and boy-cut style for women) that allow you to keep money, passports and other documents safely under your clothes. They're jersey soft and generously sized. One caution: Don't, as I did, put your cellphone in there if you're expecting a call. Can be embarrassing if you're in a meeting."

 

Lonely Planet Clever Travel Companion review

Lonely Planet Blog "There’s no safer place to keep a credit card, cash and important documents than down under, but it’s so much easier with these nifty pants and their zip-secure pockets. And it’s a saviour from the waist-widening evils of travel belts and fanny packs, meaning the essentials are kept secure while the wearer stays svelte."

 

The New Zealand Herald

NZ Herald "Crucially, it's a comfortable wear. The cotton is heavy, but sat nicely when tested out on a hot summer's day down on the Coromandel and, dare I say it, the shirt looked pretty smart. I rocked about with car keys in one pocket and cash in the other and they felt fine.

If you're slick enough to pick these pockets then, hell, you deserve the contents."

 

Matador Clever Travel Companion product review

Matador "Comfortable. Not too tight, not too loose. Of course, I immediately dove into the pockets, of which there are two zippered ones on either side and on the front of each leg. I slipped my passport into one of the pockets. A snug fit, just the right size."

 

Airfarewatchdog "We love that the pockets are on the side of the shirt, so it's more inconspicuous than front money belts."

Clever Travel Companion review 

Backpacking Africa for Beginner "After my backpacking trip, I had to throw out most of my clothes. They were worn out, falling apart, and just utterly gross. Most of my shoes didn't even make it half way. Yet my tank top survived. It's still in perfect condition today."

 

Adventures With Ben Clever Travel Companion product review

Adventures with Ben  "Underwear with pockets is perhaps one of the most fun, clever (duh) and useful travel investments you could make. I giggle every time I have them on. It’s a product that does what it promises… and does it well. They are priced right for travelers of any style and would make a great stocking stuffer. I love ‘em and wear ‘em and I suggest you add a pair (or two) to your collection."

 

I Backpack Canada Clever Travel Companion product review

I Backpack Canada "What’s great about this particular design of underwear isn’t the fact that they’re comfy, or that they’re surprisingly sleek and sexy. It’s the pockets! Two front pockets, that are perfectly sized to fit your passport, credit cards, money, and any other important documents you might carry while you travel."

Oh Gizmodo! Clever Travel Companion product review

Oh Gizmo "Someone points a gun at your face and tells you to empty your pockets. If you’re wearing these babies, you’ve got no problem.

Clever Travel Companion product review Richmond Times Dispatch

The Richmond Times Dispatch: "They are a sensible alternative to cumbersome money belts. Of course, you can wear the tees all by themselves"

 

The Daily Mail "Hidden from view but able to feel it present, the hidden pockets on a T-shirt or vest are an excellent way secure your valuables."

 

Rebatezone "This will get rid of the belt pack and still enable you to keep your items with relative safety. The pocket is cleverly designed to hold all your valuables while you travel and keep them accessible at all times. This is  especially useful in airports, which have become increasingly difficult to traverse, with security checkpoints demanding to see your documents at every turn."

 

Man on the Lam "While you most certainly will not want to be reaching down your pants for your ID, the undergarments are a great way to keep valuables protected that aren’t needed at a moment’s notice, such as emergency cash."

 

The Travelling Calavera "The vest feels secure and easy to use, plus the plain design means it doesn’t scream ‘tourist’"

 

Elvis Duran and the Morning Show "Each item is about $30 which is totally worth not having everything stolen!"

 

The Redhead Story "I really think this is a smart idea and can make your travel experience so much more stress-free."

 

Mochadad - Clever Travel Companion on the travel gift list!

 

Alaska Girl At Heart - "If you are looking for comfortable undergarments with security pockets, I highly recommend these."
