How much loot is this woman carrying?

“Valuables? I don’t have any valuables.”

After putting together my post on Five sexy ways to carry your valuables safely, I was contacted by the PortaPocket folks to give their discreet, put-anywhere pockets a try.

PortaPockets are made from lightweight, coated neoprene, making them comfortable and hygienic, as well as very slim. They are made to be worn on the ankle, calf, thigh, arm and waist, but you can fit them almost anywhere (not that there are a lot of other places) and adjust them to your ideal size. The pockets themselves can be either threaded or velcroed onto the straps, and their gentle padding makes them serve as protective cases for phones and other valuables — even when you aren’t wearing them.

So now, the test. I tried on four filled PortaPockets with two different outfits. Can you see them?

The PortaPocket items I tested cost $12.95 to $23.95 per set and can be purchased here.

PortaPocket portable travel system straps your belongings to your arm or leg

PortaPocket cases are great if you’d like to get out of the house (or your hotel) without having to carry a hand bag. Inventor Kendra Kroll designed the system as a way to carry small items like a passport, credit and ID cards. With the larger version, you can even carry sunglasses, a digital camera or medical devices like an EpiPen or insulin pump.

With a hidden pocket, you can safely store your possessions hidden under your pants or shirt without anyone noticing, which is obviously great if you want to reduce the risk of theft. The PortaPocket is designed to fit your calf, thigh, ankle, arm, or waist or belt buckle.

The pockets are made of neoprene, and come in beige and black. Best of all, the entire line of products is interchangeable – the various pockets and arm/ankle/waist straps can all be mixed and matched to create the best fit.

The PortaPocket products are available from a variety of outlets – directly from PortaPocket.com, Amazon.com and many nationwide retail stores. Prices start at just $9.95 for an add-on pocket, or $24.95 for a kit.
