Hiding Your Treasures

What we liked: It's convenient, comfortable and undetectable if you're wearing long sleeves. The two pockets are perfect for carrying essentials.

What we didn't: It's not so secret if you have short sleeves, and it's not large enough to hold a passport.

What is it? A dual-pocket pouch designed to be worn under pants. Secures around the leg with Velcro straps. Antimicrobial and high-absorbency fabric is supposed to wick away moisture. Available in black and tan.

Size: 7 by 8 inches, 1.3 ounces.

What we liked: The pockets are roomy enough for money, a passport and folded travel docs. The fit is convenient and comfortable, and the Velcro straps felt strong and secure.

What we didn't: The pouch was so unassuming that if it had fallen off, we might not have noticed. It's also not so great if you're wearing shorts.
