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 "...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 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."

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 "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."

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 "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 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.
